I was telling my son today about the neat work being done by Bttws with his door marker lights with the animated arrows that can be seen in the video below.
Anyway, he mentioned it's too bad the doors don't automatically open and close in sync with the respective animations - and then we both said "Linear actuators!"
So I'm wondering if this can be used instead of the struts (or something with more force):

The only drawback I can see off the top of my head, is if the battery is dead or we lose any power electrically, the doors would be stuck shut or open. We could however add a second battery in the cubby behind the driver or in the front trunk as a backup in case of a power failure of some sort.
Thoughts? How much force do the struts provide?
