ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a motion simulating device that includes a first scissor jack having a helical screw and a motor that rotates the helical screw of the scissor jack thereby raising or lowering the first scissor jack. Also included is a second scissor jack also having a helical screw and a motor that rotates the helical screw thereby raising or lowering the second scissor jack. At least one platform can be connected to the first and second scissor jacks. A controller is in communication with the first and second motors so that rotation of the helical screws of the first and second scissor jacks raises or lowers the scissor jacks thereby moving the platform up and down in accordance with movement of the scissor jacks. The controller can be a joystick, a steering wheel, foot pedals, a voice trigger, a gear shifter, roller ball, or any other device capable of translating mechanical energy into an electrical signal. The motion simulating device can also include at least one additional controller.
