I tried and failed (Door Opener)
Bebber helped me realize my dream... wasnt gonna happen. but just wanted to give an update. im sure no one will admit to seeing MIB 2 but im sure you did. you know how the mercades doors could open and close by remote? i wanted that badly. Bebber checked it out for me and found that it was possible, but would cost over $4000 and intrude on the interior of the car. if anyone cares, ill try to explain further.

the biggest problem was that acuators wouldnt be strong enough and that two hydrolic arms would be needed. one to open and one to close.
JOSH, come and explain if you have time please.
the problem would be that the arms would encroach on the interior space of the driver and passenger i think. i still think a bending motor arm should be possible.
what do all you engineering wizzes think?

You could probably put the bending arm Under the car instead of intruding into the cars interior. The problem with that is what do you do with the side skirt? Or is there an arm that is flat/thin enough to fit between the bottom of the door and the side skirt? ![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
There are actuators that can push/pull over 100 lbs. and w/motors operating at very slow speeds. (the slow speed motor would eliminate the "door dings" scenario, but they aren't cheap though) However, an actuator right near the door hinge would probably require more than 100 lbs of force to open the door. Even if you used a quick pop actuator to initially open the door.
Well, the only thing left to do is experiment. Let us know when you have the prototype working.

Well,
I am eventually going to get door poppers and intergrate them with my clifford alarm, so once my handles are shaved I hit the button and the door will pop open...not all the way but just enough to grab the window and open it...

whats the point of popping the door? you still have to use your hand to manually open it? how much does shaving the handles and gettin the poppers cost?
