Re: Springs?? (10 lbs. at 22 ft/s)
Well I guess it's safe to say that the majority of us agree that any type of spring would be dangerous to use for this. The massive amount of force required requires a LARGE spring which are dangerous.
What I find interesting though is that so many people are getting different energy requirements for launching it though. I've seen numbers ranging from 5 J to 80 J. I know it depends on the angle but my teams estimated 7.5 J at 65 (I think degrees) is vastly different then then post above that gives that 80 J estimate.

I've always believed that being who I was will not limit me to who I will be. That's what keeps me trying to learn more and become a better person. Otherwise I would've settled being someone ordinary and not care about anything around my life. - Ken Leung [more]
