Most airlocks on PT are designed to work so a stickman enters the chamber, opens an E-WALL, closes the E-WALL, and proceeds through another E-WALL like that to get to the outside zone. However, airlocks like those are imperfect; they inevitably let air in. I recently designed the most complex, yet working airlock.

A proper airlock should, when exiting to the outside, close the stickman in, gently equalize pressure to the same as the outside, and unlock the outer door. When entering the safe zone, it should lock the stickman in, equalize pressure to that of the inside, WITHOUT CHANGING SAFE ZONE PRESSURE, and unlock the inside door, and all automatically. No current airlock (except for mine) does that. This one does, and even better, is fully automatic.



To operate:

1) Make sure no timers are running.
2) Spark metal button on the side the stickman is on.
3) Proceed to safe zone exit door (hitting the sensor), and enter the airlock chamber.
I) NOTE: It is not necessary to keep a hold on the sensor in order to enter door. The door stays open until the sensor second from the right is hit.
4) Wait for timers to finish and the air valves to completely close.
5) Proceed towards exit door, and exit into exterior, making sure to hit outer sensor, and moving on from it.

The same process in reverse to enter again.

Please share your opinions of it in the comments, and/or ways I could improve it.

Wow. 2 comments, but only 1 word.

But he spelled it different.

Meant the same word though.


Any ideas for improvement though?

For more sucking power where? In the exterior instead of black holes, or in the air lock chamber? I might do it for the exterior in place of black holes, but there can only be 0 pressure inside the airlock chamber. The goal is for the stickman to survive the airlock itself.
