Extra power sources and air supply are hidden behind the rear seat

A 3000 PSI scuba tank and high energy batteries helps Herbie meet all his needs

It takes 3 pneumatic solenoids and 2 cylinders to open and close each door

The main controller (brain) consists of a 1/2 rpm motor turning a cam and 12 switches
