Default Re: Really stupid or completely amazing idea

okay, I just attemted this, just to be sure about everything. Using a scott sterling colorking, I loaded up a 7 mag and applied the rubber band with little tension as instructed. With no tension, the machine ran as normal. With a little tension, the machine did run faster, and slightly harder. As I increased the tension, the quicker and harder it ran. It pulls more amps, and over time will definitely create more wear on parts, namely the springs contacts and capacitor. It wasn't bad, and I can clearly see where you'd think this is creating a better running machine. It does show a noticeable difference.
However, this can and is being done with machines currently on the market. Springs will achieve the same results, provided they are bent and rolled properly given the geometry of the frame being used. An o-ring will do the same as well, but will require a couple more volts.
Try this out for me, if you will, take a grommet, cut it in half and using 2 sided tape, place it between your coils on the top of them. Make sure you leave room for your a bar to move, leave just enough grommet to sit just a couple hairs over your coil top. I mean SLIGHTLY.if you do this right, You will get the same results this way as well, but without the headaches of the rubberband and everything associated with that method. It'll last much longer as well.
Hope this helps, and once again, I can't stress that I'm not trying to break balls, just trying to show that these results are attainable from a multitude of approaches....
