Re: Fuel Processing Question

I think the 5 /sec is if chamber is filled and 15/s is if its not filled there are many drop points (~16) to counter so it'll take ~8 to start to slow processing , I expect first balls to get counted at 15/sec then if starting to fall behing slowest is 5/ sec when counter saturated probably


So I envision a single stream is better than a 40-50 ball dump IMO, as with the stream you will maintain closer to 15 /sec processsing a bog dump as it WILL saturate the counter and be at 5 /sec and as it finishes the processsing exentually ramps up to 15.

Think of a garbage disposal.... several small chunks fast clear done drop chunks one at a time no significant slowdown , a boatlaod of junk is 3 times slower slow then fast as it processses. So the inital slowness has to clear slowing counting down.

So stream is faster than dump most likely in terms of processsing times ...im certain equivalent multiball stream will process faster than a massive dump in the chamber
