9volts are faster

It might if he had a two paddle and went to a 4 but he seemed to imply a 9 volt revy would be faster than 12 volt revy. Both with four? I dunno. I should think they would both be about the same with four paddles. Just that the 12 Volt would run longer on a set of batteries. But not enough info on his mod to tell what it is he is saying.

There are still some misconceptions on how the hopper works. How fast the rotor spins does not directly relate to feed speed. Gravity drives the balls down the neck and all the rotor does is make sure there is a ball over the neck to fall in. This is why use a warp or halo is both of these designs use a rotor to push a ball into the gun. In the WARPIG test no hopper did better than a straight tube comming up from the neck. All topped out at about 12 bps. Chances are that the 9v./ 4 arm combination doesn't bat the last few balls around as much as was said. It takes a while to get out the last few so I keep it full above half most of the time. I like to see people checking.

Explain, how is 9v faster than 12v? :)

All that can be said is that the 12v spins faster. This doesn't necessarily correlate to faster feeding. For instance... what if you had a 100v hopper? It probably wouldn't feed very well... not to mention the soup bowl you'd have for a hopper.

[PyRo]

A 100v could spin even slower than a 9v. You just have to mess with the moter a bit :)

BE/VL uses the EXACT SAME motor on all the curent 9vs, 12vs, 12v X-Baords, and eVLutions. SAME MOTOR!!!
dont believe me? call up BE

but...

same motor...diff board. the question is the time it takes to empty a hopper...so since most of it is a gravity drop "assisted" by the paddles, the times are gonna be reasonably close. if the 12v spins faster and knocks the last few balls around instead of dropping them...then it may take longer. so ...not really any sort of test for speed...maybe reliable feeding.

I have a stock 9v with the 2 prong paddle, and I think it sucks. Even when it kicks on it takes like 5 seconds for the balls to drop down anyway. I end up having to shake the thing just like a nonmotorized. i've also noticed then when you look inside sometimes the paddle gets jammed and it just sort of wobbles back and forth. I've never shot a 12v but from the experience i've had with my 9, i think i'd like to try one.

9vare faster times 2

im sorry what i have is a 2001 12v and a 2001 9v i feed a whole hopper 180 balls through the 12 volt and it took 16seconds to empty then i took my 9v and feed 180 balls through it and it took 24 seconds so then i took both apart and put the 4 paddle off of the 12v and put on the 9v put them back together and feed 180
balls through it and it took 12 seconds to empty dont ask me why cause i dont know but it works if you dont believe me then try it its so easy to check out i only give honest facts i hate junk

i am certain my vl200 feeds faster than a 12v revy.

[Bartleby]

voltage as a general term has nothing to do with speed. it is simply the amount of power you have going to the motor. if you have a four prong paddle on a 9v motor, it will spin slower than normal because the power the 9v revy supplies is not sufficient enough to keep a four prong paddle revolving at the same speed. what you could do, however, is solder the circuitboard and turn the 9v into a 12v. and then get the four prong paddle and whalla, you've got no difference between the two. but just changing the paddle simply makes for more surface area on the prongs and requires more power to revolve.

I thought we're talking feed rates here

I thought we were discussing actual feed rate rather than whether or not the paddle actually spins faster. I mean, isn't it all about finding the optimal paddle rpm anyway?

[angel seed]

reply to all you none believers

ok those of you who think that is doesnt work then go try it and see ive done it and it does i dont know why but it does i didnt say it spun faster i said it feed balls faster 4 seconds faster then a 12volt thats all i knowjust try it ok

[cphilip]

angel seed, take it easy man no one says they don't believe you they are just trying to figure out what you realy were saying. Be proud of the fact that you started a nice debate here and got so much interest in one of your first threads. We are all technical here and love this sort of back and forth thing. Enjoy it. No one is trying to put you down.
