Some sort of rotating, pivoting multilink, epitrochoid doors. Neat mechanism, a few variations in his 12 videos. Gotta be a small neat servo-controlled application somewhere.

    Clever idea and great for rooms that otherwise would need outward opening hinged doors but that steel door does remind me of Madame Guillotine,
    keep hands clear when operating!

    Cool! Makes you want to run down to Home Depot and pick up a couple Torggler Evolutions for the home!

    I agree, it's a clever idea, but it's also difficult to seal. Hinged and pocket doors are much more practical, particularly when you want to keep the heat in.
