What Tom Kaye did on his Christmas Holiday

[AGD]

All,

I would like to be saying hi from sunny Florida but that is not to be. I am spending my Christmas locked in the gun dyno room figuring out what is going on with the Superbolts. Just so we could share here are a few pics of my vacation spa.

Below is gun dyno room in full swing


Below is the Extreme extensively sensored with two bolt position sensors, peak pressure behind ball sensor and ball leaving barrel sensor.


The sensor mess...


The three black vee's is a dual redundant cronograph that takes two velocity readings every shot to make sure they are accurate.

d00d you need to ask Santa for some wire management accessories

what's the Angel for?

[zads27]

Tom, you workaholic!
Dang, I really love AGD customer service, but this is ridiculous!
Take a vacation! you deserve it after all the work you've been doing lately

The angel is Tom's superman angel, which he got in a E-mag for Angel trade at IAO or somewheres.

What does Tom do with the angels? Well, he dynos the angels on that contraption to compare performance against the E-mag and other markers which have been put onto his torture rack,
and then I guess Tom rips out all the little elves hiding inside the angels, beats them with a boomstick filled with more elves, then as the surviving elves run away, he pelts them from down the hall with those crazy military paintballs (see video 4 of AGD tour at www.720video.com ), then squishes them with his cool lookin elf eating dinosaur halo.

but then again, that's just my guess.

...wish I had all that in my basement.. I don't think I would want to leave for sereral years...

Where you guys get all your sensory equipment? Is it specially made at AGD or is it just some radio shack parts bodged onto the gun?

took one of the photos and highlighted some of the things you might find funny...
-DIET COKE! where would tom be without it?
-The big expensive Emag Extreme gun stand (video camera tripod)
-Duct Tape, mans best friend.
-Crooked chrono stand... (wonderin` why dose readins were off!)
-The dreaded Angel.

Good luck there Tom! :)

Tom....

Are you still trying to figure out the wear problem on these bolts or something else. So far with mine i havent had any wear just a little scratching on the end of the bolt for the metal nubbins. I have a honed out spring and thats what i thought you were stating to be a salution to these problems. Just wanna know the details. Thanks!!!!

Hey Tom,
If you need anyone to take some of those tanks off your hands....
I'm YOUR guy!

[cphilip]

Surprisingly enough Tom a lot of us would welcome being locked up in the dyno room for Christmas! I guess its old stuff to you but to most of us it would be cool! Well...as long as you got a nice vintage Port and a good cigar in there with you....I could dig it! :)
