remote warp feed system...will it work??

[silenttype]

If you use gravity it will prob work,keep the pack as high as you can,prob is getting the balls to flow into the feeder hose from the pacc,you might have to build a large type of revy.

I was working on this very issue to feed my grinder, and discovered that it was unable to push that much paint through that long of a tube.

In my case, I was still going to leave vl3000's on teh marker (3 of them), but wanted to have some hoses from teh backpack attached to the lids of each loader for "refill". I wasn't able to get the warp to push that much paint through to the end, about half way or so, the discs just spun and didn't push the paint anymore.

even tried tweeking the discs, and got it to go a bit further, but I didn't want to press too hard on teh balls cause I dindn't wnat them to break in teh warp. The system needs to be more akin to the cyclone feed system in an A5, but I haven't worked that out yet.

ps - silenttype - you know you can add that flag to your signature, so you don't have to uypload it everytime you post?

[silenttype]

I cant figure out how to use the signature option.I ad the codes and nothing,ive tried many times so i quit this works good enough.Just wanted to show my fellow paintballers Im a proud American.

you guys have some great points...(breaking a ball in the feed system would be a nightmare)... This is exactly the kind of input I'm looking for, It really helps me see the things that I might have overlooked...keep the ideas and opinions flowin guys..

thanx again


eeerrrrr... still haven't got my dam warp... dam the man...

lol...

[guysdaman]

I think a rigid feed hose might work you could loop it over your shoulder and pick up some gravity effect...picture it kinda like the mini-gun in predator that Jesse the body ventura was hauling....oh...goose bumps!

Well Cappin_ChroniC, I've been trying to make a remote feed system using a warp myself and i have tested a hose that is roughly 24" long and was able to feed thru that. As for a remote system being possible...hmmm, it's been done

[silenttype]

How about making a hopper for your back that is made of PVC the put a pump on it so u can put air pressure in the hopper then the air pressure will force the balls through.

[Cappin_ChroniC]

Silentype.... thats a good idea too, if I can't make my warp idea work then I was thinkin about sumthing like that too, only drawbacks to that, that I can think of is the need for a really big air supply that could feed both the gun and the hopper, or the need for an additional air supply... but one way or another I'm gonna make it happen... lol... I'm still tryin to have faith in the warp though..

[Cappin_ChroniC]

yuji.... I like that pic... that caption is perfect... lol.. that gives me faith that I can make this thing work.... woooooohooooo.... lol...

[Vendetta]

Yuji why wouldn't you also run your air remote? If your doing one, you might as well strap a large tank to you back as well.
