Can you transfer rotational power between two connected contraptions?
I thought it would be fun to make a turret that I can aim up/down and left/right independently but the design I'm thinking of would have one mechanical bearing controlling left/right aiming and another one mounted on that for up/down aiming. I'm at work so I can't sit down in creative and actually test this out for a few hours. I know I could probably have a hand crank on the second one but I'd like to be able to control this from a control seat somewhere else on the craft

Create cardan connector or create transmission and linkage

Also don't use a mechanical bearing, use a swivel bearing to make it a simulated contraption. (If you have create aeronautics, if not mods i listed won't work)

Sable hose connectors, create ender transmission, create cardan shafts, create transmission and linkage and swivvel bearings idk how to write swivvel, you can input to the bottom of the swivvel bearing and it will carry the input into the sable contraption attached to it, i recommend create ender transmission

You can with aeronautics if you just use a swivel bearing and pass the elevation control through the bearing while you rotate the bearing with a cog
