Hints
A basic hint:
[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is Balance, at some point, you will have to think about the way certain things feel exactly balanced, like on a weighing scale.
If you're struggling to get started:
[ hint ]
The first objective is to obtain the activator.
If you are struggling with angles of the blue laser downstairs:
[ hint ]
You won't be able to activate both fans using just the activator directly from the emitter.
If you are struggling with angles of the blue laser upstairs:
[ hint ]
The connector does not have enough height to connect directly to the emitter while it is sitting on the ledge by itself. But, with a bit more elevation, it can work.
A cheesy idea:
[ hint ]
Note that activators have a slight delay before they push out their activating bubble. It gives you enough time to pick up some equipment.
If you're unable to jump to the upstairs ledge:
[ hint ]
Being on the fan stream isn't enough. You need a hexahedron below you.
If you're unable to pick up items from downstairs:
[ hint ]
See if there are some slabs of concrete nearby that give equipment a bit more height.
