      The mechanism in the illustration seems very complex geometrically.
      I guess I would need to do quite a bit of remodeling now to add that or something similar.

      If you don't want to make a model that complex, there are several variations shown in the site that numbthumb referenced that look to be a lot simpler as far as the dumping function.

        It's all visual gibberish to me. ๐Ÿ˜•

        I found something relatively clean --

        It looks like it is just a simple hinge, but again it is hard to tell. It might be a hinge with some sort of spike (like: "|__" ) controlled by a slight push in the right way + gravity + a hard break metal thingy to keep it from hitting the wheels? I dunno!

          I donยดt know. If it helps, here are some more pics: http://www.wildcatmines.com/photos.html

            I guess there are a lot of different types.

            I'll give it a whirl and try to come up with something from my eemageenashun.

              And the frame below the cart is still conveniently hidden from view! Anyway, I guess what I have will do.

              I'm now trying to add some Sketchy Physics, but, ugh.
              I added a part of a conveyor belt with some balls. (attached to this post) I would like the conveyor belt to move (the rollers are hidden inside!), depositing the balls into the mine cart. Can anyone help?

              Bonus: Also, perhaps a large sliding door on either the front-bottom or back-bottom of the minecart (where the "plate" is?), enabling the balls to roll out? โ“ ๐Ÿ’š

                Looking good. I assume there is going to be a release mechanism and handles of some sort?

                  Also, the side of the cart would need some sort of reinforcement where it strikes the frame or it would get deformed pretty quickly. Just an observation

                    I do have a sort of handle on the side of each hinge. Perhaps this mine cart is fairly big and handles on top of each side would be too high to reach? ๐Ÿ˜„

                    Edit: no lock/release mechanism; that's an issue, I guess. Not really sure how I would add it. ๐Ÿ˜

                    As for the cushions: Sure, makes sense. I added cushions to the model above.

                      Here it is with a hinge and rounded bottom. It swivels to slightly more than 90 degrees before touching the wheel axle supports. The hinge is actually friction-less with the addition of permanent + magnets welded on both part of the hinge covering and the hinge itself. ๐Ÿ˜„
