Or you could just increase the number of teeth by double, but make the toothed bar and gear smaller. I would mean that the circular motion, if decreased to a 1/2 scale, would take the same amount of hand movement for double the effect
Why not say screw the 180 degree rotation all together. Why not keep the turning "locked" between the SAME two 90 degree points that both would supply forward and backward action. When your hand pulls (And stays pulled) the mech activates. Then the action of letting the pulley go reverses the gear in the opposite direction and thus pulls the OTF backwards.
If you look closely that's actually how ezio's blades work.
@rememberthecreed as opposed to the Ammnra hidden blade, where he pulls once and the gear turns 180. now say you get a gear with a half inch rotation distance, then theoretically it would only take one pull to rotate it 180, all you'd have to do is attach a 1 in rotation plate to the top and attach the arm from the OTF trigger to that, then you get more of a rotation, and the blade comes out fully with 1 pull, not two.
@TextRF that's true, but let's say that you have a gear with a rotation distance on 1 inch, and it takes 2 pulls on the extending/retracting leaver to move the gear 180 degrees. If you are attaching that gear system to an OTF hidden blade, then it'll take two pulls to extend that blade out.
are u using steel or milled aluminum? or any other metals?

@TextRF Of course with the idea I mentioned you would have to minimize the OTF catches and locks and of course use a stronger spring.

@rememberthecreed I got an Epiphany a couple days ago.

@rememberthecreed I think that may be wrong. Remember circumference? So the rotation is limited to how many degrees of teeth the gear has.
Ex: C=6 Gear teeth take up 90 degrees. 90 divided by 360 is 1/4
Multiply .25 by 6 and you get 1.5. So it can only make a rotation distance of 1.5 inches.

can we get some blueprints for each piece ?

@BorisBiberovik true, but that could be solved by making the teeth on the gear and the bar smaller, that way you get more rotation out of the pull

@rememberthecreed yes but you would have to extend your arm further back to do that and i dont know if that is posible sorry for bad english
