Autokinetics

About

These are virtual piston machines designed and built in Minecraft 1.8.3 (vanilla). They are classified by different qualities: mono-unit and single-unit systems, two-stroke and four-stroke systems, component paradigms (Redstone Dust wired, Slime Block extended or Redstone Block only). They are listed in ascending degree of complexity. Their design follows a set of axioms. Their videos are taken from top.

Axioms

1. The machines require only a single layer in height.
2. The particular machine classes require as few pistons as possible.
3. The machines dimensions come up as compact as possible.
4. The machines architecture follows the concept of point symmetrie.
5. Rotations are set in positive direction (counter clockwise).
