Brilliant. You've gone way beyond the average do-it-yourselfer: You've used items that can be easily sourced, used drawer slides to prevent twisting, you've calculated the load, factored in a counterweight to balance the load, and added a power cable tensioner. Would you please provide additional detailed photos here or on a website? Thanks!

Rocky2224 thats why you would incase it in some sort of insulated box. easy to engineer. As for fire, a ducted heating system is more likely to catch fire than a tv and they are in a roof crawl space. this is also a cement tiled roof in Australia less likely to leak than an American roof. good concept just needs some fine tuning

Awesome idea buddy! Very inspiring. You got my idea mind going so in another version, one could also make it swivel 45 degrees rather than a vertical pull and this would require little to no counter-weight except a nice low-profile motor to spin the TV to rotate at 45-ish flush with the ceilings (this would also be very space-saving also you could use very large TV screen since you are swiveling, rather than pulling the entire TV into the attic)... You could then use nice hide-away trims/frames around TV edges to transition to the ceilings 👌.

you should try far north Western Australia in the summer... 140F... pfft it gets past that in the shade... I love the vid man, great work... a couple of potential problem solvers... have the roof slot as 2 pieces cut down the middle on sprung hinges with neutral on the spring set for the slots being closed level with the ceiling. This is so when the tv lowers it puts loading on the hinges and they close up once the tv is past them. You could have slots cut out for the slides and the cables. then when you pull it back up, have it pull just past the height of the 2 pieces and it would lay back flat against the cieling in its neutral position. with only a few small slots visible.

If it's a really hot day I leave it part way down (so I can still walk under it).

You talked about a cable reel. How does the cables (electric and HDMI) travel down with the tv? Is a cable reel something you can buy? Is it under slight tension so that it reels up properly when the tv goes to the return position?
@bengineering
7 жыл бұрын
Craig.Thanks. The cable reel that I was talking about is the black plastic drum that the motor turns to lift and lower the TV and counterweight. I only have one electrical cable running to the TV which is the power cable. Everything else is wireless (mostly over wifi). The power cable (which is white) runs in a pulley that is pulled back by an elastic strap. This pulls it up with the TV and stops it getting tangled on anything. I have built in a second pulley that I can use if I ever want to add another cable but I haven't needed to so far.

Operating temp only 40? C'mon depending where u live it can be over forty just from the weather. I have personal experience using a hot gun on an iPhone 5 to melt the glass glue and it was fine at a 3rd degree burns temperature! (it did eventually come up with a let it cool before usage msg however but never turned off) and I've cooked a laptop in the oven too and it worked fine afterwards haha. I'm sure modern tvs are fine as long as they're turned off and stored properly. I would suggest a power bar mod with a switch to completely disconnect the power though. Most tvs still use electricity even when they're turned off because they're on standby mode and you don't want any rodents chewing on those cords with electricity running through them. Fire hazard there.

An attic has wild temperature and moisture fluctuations, so the TV would die within days in the summer or winter. So build a box to go around it that has an air vent/circulation to the room below.
@bengineering

I think 'days' is a little bit of an exaggeration. This has been running for well over a year now with no issues. The TV is off when it is in the attic so temperatures are not exceeding the operating conditions suggested by the manufacturer. Sure it's definitely not the best place to keep electronic equipment (even if it's off) but I also see alot of people mounting TV's outdoors. A box enclosure is a good idea but would need good ventilation as you have suggested.
