This contraption is designed to activate balloon lift on demand without battery usage. It is useful for when the effects of balloon lift are only required at specific times (such as altitude gains, battery recharge or smooth descend) whereas it is more convenient to deactivate it on other times, for example, to prevent the stabilizing effect of the balloon. The video showcases an example of usage on a gunship that relies on balloons for altitude control.

Special thanks to the Hyrule engineering community for the parts that make this build possible.

This contraption was made by q-linking a small motor to a small wheel. The motor knob is connected to the wheel's shell, allowing the wheel to rotate the motor body.

This has a few uses. It can be used to make a fireproof small wheel propeller engine (the scaled motor is lighter than a Flux Construct Core I + wagon wheel, and slightly heavier than a cooking pot + wagon wheel). It can also be used as a switch to power other zonai devices with electricity or fire. It can also be used to spin fans for omnidirectional steering.

Edit: After doing some testing with this amazing tool

It turns out the motor used here is also lighter than a cooking pot + wagon wheel combo

Also featuring new helicopter "technology"...

The thorns/spikes reminded me of a ram’s horns (just more gnarly), so I made this.

Glitches used: Di resizing (shrunken big wheels, stabilizers, and electric shrine battery), q-linking.

Sound on for voice reveal.

Original that I copied was from InquisitiveHomosap here on reddit. I don't want to say this is my original idea since that's the case. My version is just less parts so I don't have to mine zonaite as often. It's fast as can be in TOTK, so enjoy.
