Is There A Lock That Retracts A Pin By Pushing A Button

2001 Bmw 530 Fuel door actuator location?

I have a 323i, and the fuel cap door pops open with a slight tap with an open palm. Inside the fuel cap door, there is a small locking device which looks like a solenoid-controlled pin. The pin captures and locks the fuel door when the car doors are locked. When the doors are unlocked, the pin is retracted so you can open the door. The locking pin is covered by a black rubber dust boot.

I suspect that BMW has a similar design on the 5-series.

Is the ODM gear in Attack on Titan realistic?

Simply put: no.

Theoretically, with enough time and resources, it would be possible to create something modeled on that, but it wouldn't be at all functional.

Realistically, even if such a 3D maneuvering system like that existed, it would be impossible for a human to operate.

For one, there's no way the gas in those canisters would be able to dispense at such a high pressure to achieve the speed and movement they do in the show, and even if there was a gas that did, it would run out in seconds.

Gas aside, regarding the grappling hooks - you would need hooks that are strong and durable enough to grip onto bricks or concrete when being launched at high speeds... uh...
Second, the hooks need a way to "unhook" themselves and retract all the way back to your suit (you're still in midair, by the way), before you can use that hook again.

Finally, there's the last, most important factor to consider: the human factor. Operating such a device would require insane reaction speeds and perfect aim. Even if you had those, moving at near G-force speeds could kill you (or cause you to black out, which would end up killing you), assuming you haven't been splattered onto a wall or tree first. Landing would also be a problem, as you would most certainly break your legs on impact moving at that speed.

So while the 3D maneuvering system from Shingeki no Kyojin looks totally cool, it operates using anime physics, not real world physics. Using something like that in real life is a surefire way to kill or severely cripple yourself, if it were mechanically plausible to build.

How do I open a locked door that has a small hole in the doorknob?

I'm going to assume that this is a small round hole in the center of the knob. This is designed as an emergency way to open interior doors with locks such as a bathroom or bedroom door. It's called a privacy lock. The method:Find something stiff that will slide into the hole. A ballpoint pen filler works. Push it straight into the hole. At an inch or so you will feel resistance. Keep pushing hard enough to move the resistance. When you feel the resistance move and hear a click or more of a clunk, the door will be open.

How to get recliner to close?

Turn the chair into position so that the motor and accompanying actuating geometry is accessible. You'll note a rod or rods held in position by steel pins with "cotter" pins to hold them in place. Any one of these may be temporarily disconnected in order to retract the mechanism..

Why can't you turn your car keys sometimes due to the steering wheel lock?

its not a flaw, its simply the nature of the mechanism, it 'locks' into the steering column, often the steering wheel has been moved without the engine running to engage the lock, but this has put pressure on the mechanism by the force of the grip of the tires trying to spring the steering back, so in order to disengage the lock the pressure has to be relieved by moving the wheel manually.modern locks are electrically actuated with either a toothed cog or a smooth bolt mechanism and are able to disengage without needing to move the wheel as they engage instantly, without needing to be engaged by moving the steering wheel.
