Pulltest of a SMC rappel ring to failure. Units are pound-force, ultimate failure at 2872 pound force (12.8kN) with the ring shearing at the connection to the webbing. Static line at top undamaged, webbing started to cut through as ring approached failure. Edit- SMC spec's it at 14kN (3174 lbf).

Homemade hanger sent in for testing to see how it fails and at what force. The readout displays the live data in pounds-force, with the Yellow and Red bars marking 10kN and 20kN respectively. Peak force held was 1319 pound-force (~5.8kN) with severe deformation of the hanger between 400 and 500 pound-force and major yielding of material prior to failure. Bolt attaching hanger to fixture is 3/8".

(: 00163 = days since my first newman motor :) This motor has a very high torque constant - about 1.6 Newton-meters per amp or 1.2 lb-ft per amp. I took three independent measurements by hand (: ***see bottom for details*** This is the result of sending the same amps through a higher number of larger turns than in conventional motors. Torque is angular momentum per unit time, so this motor produces great amount of turning ability. Because of that, fan works best at high blade pitch. In this case it works very well at a 45 degree pitch whereas fan blades designed for today's top quality fans have around 25 degrees of pitch. Power is energy per unit time. THIS IS OUR INPUT. Voltage is magnetic flux per unit time. THIS IS WHAT DRIVES THE COIL AND THE MAGNET. Torque is energy per unit angle. THIS IS WHAT DRIVES THE SHAFT, THE FAN, AND THE WIND. Fan blade RPM owes it's existence to fan torque. Fan torque owes its existence the force on the magnets through a distance per revolution. The force on the magnets through a distance per revolution owes its existence to the applied magnetic field of the coil. The magnetic field of the coil owes its existence to???? [Look at the current in the video] ______ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Energy_Machine_of_Joseph_Newman ______ "The energy machine is proof that the strength of the motor's magnetic field is dependent upon the VOLTAGE --- NOT the CURRENT!" - JosephNewman.com "Voltage leads current in an inductor." - Basic Electrical Engineering "There are no real size constraints with respect to his technology and there are two methods of increasing the energy output: increase the amount of copper utilized in the conductor coil and/or increase the rpms of the commutator. The latter can be done by increasing the applied voltage (not the current which is what costs money) up to the maximum atomic alignment of the atomic domains in the copper conductor. And, if you seek to align more atomic domains, then use more copper. Once the atomic domains of the copper conductor are aligned, the copper becomes magnetic and thereby releases energy electromagnetically in accordance with E = mc²." - Joseph Newman Publishing Company ______ Since incremental resistance equals change in voltage per change in current, the time constant of an inductor segment (inductance divided by incremental resistance), is actually the ratio of change in magnetic flux produced per change in voltage. Obviously if the circuit has no inductance, no magnetic flux will be produced regardless of the currents or voltage. In short, a ***thicker*** coil (as required to achieve a higher planned time constant) will give more magnetic "bang" for your "volt". ______ Crude measurements I took of this fan motor are as follows: When moving: 1) 1/7 pound force; 2 inches from shaft; 1/42 pound feet; 0.02 amps avg 2) 5 pound force; 1.5 mm from shaft; 1/40 pound feet; 0.02 amps avg When stalled at ON position: 1) 1 pound force; 2 inches from shaft; 1/6 pound feet; 0.14 amps avg (7x current); (1/6 pound feet) / 7 = 1/42 pound feet

Old Leeper hanger with a smash link removed from a route in Colorado, first attempt at pulling to failure on the testing rig. The readout displays the live data in pounds-force, with the Yellow and Red bars marking 10kN and 20kN respectively. Peak force held was 2224 pound-force (~9.9kN), with the final failure well under 1000 pound-force as the smash link pulled apart. The hanger was undamaged by the test and the bolt attaching it to the fixture was 5/16".

Another one??? Yes folks another Music Catch installment for ya and it's my personal favorite song by DragonForce. Oh crap interference during the song, but it's only for like two seconds. This one took three tries because Camtasia Studios was being quite the nuissance. Lol....nuissance. I make myself laugh hahaha. Anyways, "I can't believe I'm being hit on by the famous Solid Snake!"....random. Anyways the audio here is better than Through The Fire and Flames, even though it wasn't with the new mic I got from my sister. I might just get new speakers as well. That should be awesome. Anyways enjoy this full on music installment of Music Catch, only one more to go hahahahaha! Enjoy!

Homemade drilled angle hanger pulled off a route in Colorado pulled to failure. The readout displays the live data in pounds-force, with the Yellow and Red bars marking 10kN and 20kN respectively. Peak force held was 5057 pound-force (~22.5kN) with little yielding of material prior to failure. Bolt attaching hanger to fixture is 3/8".

Old Leeper hanger with a smash link removed from a route in Colorado, second attempt at pulling to failure on the testing rig (first attempt broke the smash link). The readout displays the live data in pounds-force, with the Yellow and Red bars marking 10kN and 20kN respectively. Peak force held was 5096 pound-force (~22.7kN), at which point the bolt sheared and the camera detached from the puller frame. The hanger was rather deformed by the test, but still in one piece. The bolt attaching it to the fixture was 5/16".

Old SMC hanger removed from a route in Colorado, pulled to failure on the testing rig. The readout displays the live data in pounds-force, with the Yellow and Red bars marking 10kN and 20kN respectively. Peak force held was 4973 pound-force (~22.1kN), at which point the bolt sheared. The bottom of the hanger twisted very slightly, but it is otherwise in fine shape. The bolt attaching the hanger to the fixture was 5/16".
