    I have couple ideas for motorising the jack.
    Allthougt, i don't want to build whirlygig around it.

    Here is the idea about the first version.

    Unless some modifications were made to the jack you are going to have problems with it operating, to use a jack on its side the pump has to be on the bottom, or the bottle has to be over filled.

    I use this same way that i have used earlier.


    This time extra container is integrated to the jack...
    ( Sounds weird, but that's what i planned)

    Extra container for the jack.
    Now it works better on sideways.

    Material is 1,5mm stainless steel.

    Short clip about testing with modified hydraulic jack..



    Jack is still unfastened, that makes using little tricky. Also handle is too short, and with little too small diameter...
    But it works like expected. Now i can go forward...

    Extra container is weld to the original container trough the hole, where i later placed the cap fitting.
    This gives little extra room for welding. Cap fitting was weld on its place after containers we're densely weld together.
