A perfect ratio 8 to 8 balancer for mainbus

[Grumpy Old Gamer]

Baced on the starndard 4x4 but extended to 8x8. perfect ratios, pull sequall from every line, pushes equally to every line. fits in 8x11 area, so works with most mainbus configurations.

Comments and siggestions welcome.

There you find already all balancers :)

Holy belt balancing Batman!

Looks more like 20x11 to me.

With 8x8, he meant 8 inputs and 8 outputs, not the footprint.

I know right? A rainbow should shoot out everytime you open the link!

Most of those are not perfect ratios though. Which really makes them splitters not balancers.

If you want imperfect, Just make an X by X array of splitters and it will allow any input to flow to any output, but if you want a BALANCER which pulls evenly from every input and pushes evenly to every output, then you need something without that sites stated "design with smallest footprint is shown".

They are, however, a very reasonable compromise.

In my experience, if you add lane (as opposed to belt) balancers to all the inputs before the main bus then these are good enough.

They also work well enough for evenly loading / unloading trains and storage facilities. A balancer V would never achieve this.

I agree. I too use the big book of balancers for most cases. I just figured since I went through the trouble to make one that was perfect ratios, I wouldl post it. It's larger than the stock 8 to 8, but uses fewer resources. The footprint isnt that much larger though, mostly its just longer.
