      I’ve always thought of them more like “wheels with a motor,” but I suppose that analogy works as well. It’s a very technical nuanced definition, so I can understand how people can have trouble describing one in simplified terms, including myself.

    My guess is that the rope is actually 60 meters, and they just rounded down when they converted the units. And that's why they have a rope listed as 196 feet.

  • @234fddesa
    @234fddesa Před 2 lety +4

    Feel like the rope getting bunched up is probably just due to it getting twisted and applying compounding torque until it causes a loop to form and gets tangled. This would probably tend to happen any time the rope meets any form of resistance along it's length. I think you might find more luck with something like a chain that inherently can't do that sort of thing, or maybe a long flat loop of ribbon.
    Or a chainsaw.

  • @care-o-sene
    @care-o-sene Před 2 lety +2

    here's some variables you didn't mention in the video that i think are some real things to consider if another revision of this is made:
    the thickness of the rope and how that affects how easily it bends and ties into knots. steve mould's videos on the chain fountain have parts about minimum bend radius, and i think that's something that causes the knotting.
    the smoothness of the ground the rope is being pulled back on. concrete is very rough and the friction with the rope and the ground is definitely contributing to the slow acceleration. maybe doing it on an ice skating rink would make it get up to speed a lot sooner.
    this is probably why the handheld ones work so much better at lower speed, the bottom portion of the loop is in the air with minimal friction. maybe doing it off the edge of a rooftop would allow for that?

    I feel like maybe laying out/zigzagging the rope close to the feed to start would help with tangling, maybe preventing the rope coming back from moving right into the rope going out until it gets off the ground a good amount?

  • @BleachWizz
    @BleachWizz Před rokem

    7:25 - my first instinct here is to think of settleing a coil with the rope so the loop is not formed yet, from the footage feels like by the time all of the rope has accelerated it has whipped somewhere which messes with the flow. Feeding the rope from a stationary and organized position at first feels like would help the rope form the first loop whitout tangling. Basically bootstraping.

    Cool video! No one seems to be saying it, so I might as well, what about trying to remove the friction of the rope hitting the ground?

    I wonder what would happen if you like, suspend the bike from a bridge, so the falling rope isn't limited by the ground.
    So, the bike shoots out the rope sideways, or diagonally upwards.
    I wonder if a rope guide is even needed than (maybe just one or so, just near the wheel, so the rope doesn't slip off).

    uhmwpe tape for low friction return? adjustable tension on out and in ends of loop? Spray or soak the whole rope with reflective paint and shine a light on it and run it at night? Use different reflective colors at different points along the rope to create a strobe or other effects. Strontium europium glow power mixed with adhesive to coat with glow effect. Use ropes that are florescent under black light for night shot too (scattered uv lasers or big ass uv led light for source). Maybe continually soak with corn starch and water to get florescence under black light.

  • @originsdecoded3508
    @originsdecoded3508 Před rokem

    Seems like it worked once you took the motorcycle out from the car shop. The difference would be that there is less air ventilation and air flow inside. But outside you had much more wind thus creating the proper air flow lift and air drag in order for the string to pick up smoothly. Kind of works under the same principle as a kite using air lift. As the rope is pushed forward at high speeds, airlift is created under the ropes as it drags across the wind giving it that floating smooth motion. its not just about the rope being pulled back in. In a more windy day, I believe you would get far more interesting airlift.

    Play with the rope stiffness. You'll get it to go further.
    The stiffer the rope the less it will be inclined to bend, which in turn will allow it to become stable more quickly.
    Also, the faster you accelerate it the better. If you can accelerate it quickly enough it will try to follow the path it's laid out on, more quickly building tension in the part of the rope you're throwing into the air, also allowing it to become stable more quickly.
    Something like a large DOL (direct online) motor would be the way to go. Then you can go from stationary to the required speed in a big hurry.
