Re: Springs?? (10 lbs. at 22 ft/s)
An idea from team 885
What about using an "air spring?" (See McMaster Carr catalog.) I'm not talking about those gas springs that hold up the trunk of your car, but an industrial air spring. The spring could be charged up for every shot by the compressor, and then left discharged (relaxed) to reset the device. You would need a sturdy release mechanism acting upon some kind of sturdy boinker. jim wick mentor for team 885 |
