Ways to add Heave

A motion system for heave is desirable for many forms of motion simulation, but often difficult to implement. @SeatTime came up with a simple idea, use a seat mounted heave plate driven by a motor and lever: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/seattimes-dc-motor-sim.5024/page-7#post-56322
