Earlier today I was testing some things out with redstone and thought, "Can redstone wire be cut off/reconnected with trapdoors?" well half of that idea worked out. It turns out that redstone can actually PASS THROUGH trapdoors enabling redstone to go from below a block to above it without removing any blocks. If you tryed to do this with any other block, it would cut off the redstone wire and not allow connections, but that doesnt happen with trapdoors.

Trapdoors count as "transparent" blocks and so will not sever a wire that runs up a block. This property has been known since redstone was first introduced and is usually done with Glass or half-blocks.
Interestingly, placing glass in the position where you currently have toe trapdoor will cause the graphical representation of the redstone to appear severed, but it will nonetheless conduct charge. Redstone wire's actual conductivity path doesn't always correlate with its graphical appearance, which is one of the nuisances you must deal with when first learning the stuff.
A potential problem I foresee is what happens when the wire is active? My experience with trap-doors suggests that it will open. Is this the case?

Look here to find links to my inventions, creations, and my Youtube channel featuring Amazing Creations of Mine (Redstone engineering FTW!!!) and charming Music-Videos about clones. I also made "Minecraft in Minecraft" (2D platformer/building game). I'm currently trying to make a computer.
actually, that is a good point...im gonna try that...
surprisingly it doesn't open when i try to power the redstone! EUREKA!!!!

This is very ironic because glass is a block that doesn't conduct electricity like wood.
