=== Description: ===
 
 
 
Both pumps are on floors (not transmitting power), each has a gear assembly connected to it.  The left plate connects to the top gear.  The right plate connects to the bottom gear.  Both plates are set for 6/7-7/7 water.  One tile full of water is poured into one side.  Lastly, power is applied to both gears.  If the water starts on the left side:
 
 
 
<ol>
 
<li> Left plate is active, top gear is disengaged, top pump is off
 
<li> Right plate is inactive, bottom gear is engaged, bottom pump on
 
<li> Water pumps to the right
 
<li> Bottom pump off
 
<li> In 100 steps, top pump turns on
 
<li> Water pumps to the left
 
<li> Top pump off
 
<li> In 100 steps, bottom pump turns on
 
<li> Repeat at step (3)
 
</ol>
 
 
 
 
 
=== Advantages: ===
 
  
 
<ul>
 
<ul>
<li> Always a single tile of water, so no flowing or sloshing
+
<li>Casimir Power Generator
<li> Preserves water and doesn't need a water source
+
<li>[[User:MrFake/TwoStepAlternatingRepeater|2-step Alternating Repeater]]
<li> Never breaks the cycle*
+
<li>[[User:MrFake/NStepCyclicRepeater|''n''-step Cyclic Repeater]]
<li> Two switches provide an alternating, repeating trigger with no extra machinery
+
<li>Pressure Plate On/Off Switch
<li> Compact design
+
<li>Aquifer Breach System
<li> Easily extensible base design (see user [http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User:Hussell/ClockRepeater Hussell's] extension, or the general case n-step repeater)
 
 
</ul>
 
</ul>
  
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Not rigorously tested, but theoretically it can't break.

=== Disadvantages: ===
 
  
 
<ul>
 
<ul>
<li> For bridges and floodgates, opening/closing always occurs roughly 200 steps apart (i.e. slow)
+
<li>[[User:MrFake/Dastroder/Stories#KubukNebelkubuk|Standing Firm: The Heroism of Kûbuk Nebélkûbuk]]
<li> For short-trigger devices, device appears to be always active **
 
<li> Requires power (30+)
 
<li> Takes a bit of time to build (multiple levels and fill with water)
 
<li> Requires a minimum of 8 mechanisms, and up to 15+ is easily possible
 
 
</ul>
 
</ul>
  
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Only tested with a door connected to the right plate: the door never closed.  It may work better given the right build order.  Also, connecting the door (or any short-trigger device) to the left switch could produce better results.
