    Warpless-Warp, but with the warp...

    Huh, what??





    I needed the feedneck there because the paint wasn't transitioning from the loader to the hose very well. Im going to get rid of it and put a piece of copper tube of something to connect the loader to the hose better.

    Every time I see a post like this it makes me wish TK would produce the belt feed hopper he has a patent on.

        Simon told me a Halo (or derivative) will feed through a pretty long hose. Figured I try it. It lightened everything up, takes the hopper off the top, and it lets me use different loaders.

        I think that I should RF my Z2 though.. and my 'drop' testing is very iffy right not. When I get the xmag back from anno I will try it out.

        If anyone wants to take it for a run next weekend I will send it to them.

                  Well he has allowed for limited runs of products that he owns patents on. I wonder if He would OK someone taking this to prototyping/production. Well TOM?
                  (I heard a rumor that if you type his name in a thread he will come)

                  If someone else can fabricate the shells I can throw together a micro controller for this.

                  Looking at the drawings I can see a few things that maybe should change. If the belt drives come out of alignment it could turn into a blender. I'm thinking this design evolved into the Warp because friction plates make so much more sense.

                    Last I remember he said you would never see a hopper from AGD because of patent issues, there must be an "overlap" of patents of some sort.

                      That belt fed loader already is patented... by TK, so I guess the only issues would be from others looking to challenge it. The patent system in this country is FUBAR.

                        I'd guess; Tom patented the design for the Revolution, and it seems almost any paddle-agitated loader.

                          I stumbled onto an old AO thread the other day doing a Google search where TK was talking about it, but I cant find it and I don't recall what I was looking for originally.

                              Browser history is too much to sift through (I tried) is there anyway to look through google search history?
