This is the explaination of the weight avator and its workings
the confusing vlog is at: weight avator
*the orange, green and grey-lilac represent one weight avator,
and its varying actions,
while the blue-teal color represents the occasional stair journey up.
The complete answer to making the elevator or tree-well... w/ the least
less human involvement is at the bottom of the blog.
To create a continual experience of weights being rebalanced, so the humans interfere the littlest amount:
the options are:
1. rain water collections to re-aquaint the abacus-style scales when the older weights go missing from the top section. As the top section is the imperative to refill.
2. Bringing a weight heavier than yourself with you to descend, and lower the elevator,
(such as recycling, grey-water, furniture, etc.), while at the same time,
bringing up a larger weight than normally used, helps to rebalance the system.
3.the real-time living option is,
to go with "a pressure upstairs system", via upstairs an hydrolics lowering pressure kitchen (for instance) "upstairs only",
yet relegated to when it lowers into a pump-lift action from below.
...kitchen morning
...kitchen mid-day
...kitchen at night.
The air pressure is sent below.... and then sends a return weight,
to re-loads the upper level, for additional return trips.
Also a manual pressure pump of the reload, also works,
by foot or bicycle or hand pully, on the second level, (or tree-house),
while the pump action elevates the water or weight from an aquaduct
or weight-ready area below.
Once the above area (second level) has plenty of weight in re-fill, (for the return trips),
there is no reason why the user would have to climb the stairs at all.
