I was wondering if this would work?

[Gotenks]

Hmm I thought about it, but I don't think it would work....

I'm talking about figure 2, since it has the other end, the pressure would hit both sides, and it wouldnt move at all, right?

[sniper1rfa]

erm, whats it supposed to do?

if its a cocker ram (antichopish) then all you would need to do is make the rod real thick, reducing the surface area for the return stroke.

if its a standard electro ram, it would be more difficult. there was a thread about it at the tinkers guild a few years back (great minds think alike, tom...). :D

[rhetor22]

nope, the second figure would not move.

you were right, the pressure would be pushing on either side of the rod, and therefore there is no acting force to move it.

[Gotenks]

Yeah I was thinking it would not return, but you never know so I just asked.

I will insert a spring return, it would work just fine.

That isn't anything, its what a part in my design looks like, and before I build the prototype, im trying to figure out all the problems the paper design has before I go build one.

Problem #1 - solved

I will keep this thread tho incase I need to post anything else.

[sniper1rfa]

if you want the it to keep goin past that hole, yeah, it will work fine. there is still pressure, it just happens to be flowing.

i still wanna know what its for though... :)

what i can think of is maybe timing another ram mechanically and reactivly (as soon as ram 1 reaches such and such a spot, ram 2 activates...).

[Gotenks]

it isn't a ram for other guns..... its a "paresto stick" and its application is secret ;) What is drawn there is nothing of a paresto stick accept on how to move it, and the last thing I wanted to do is have to have used a separate ram just to make it less reliable and harder to strip.

But it's just kind of obvious what it's for.

:cool:

[sniper1rfa]

im totally lost. :mad: :D

[bryan]

come on...we need to know what this "paresto stick" is...or at least what class of thing it is

does it hurt peopele?
