Re: Evaluating the Haul
Hi Walter The translation speed, like others, is the absolute speed (along the path). In this case the path is nearly horizontal: Paul 170 FC paths.JPG The important point is the timing of events: translation peak speed at 0.792 s rotation peak speed at 0.834 s haul peak speed at 0.871 s line hand p...

Re: Evaluating the Haul
There is something like a factor 2 by comparison with the record. Could you please plot speeds (rotation, translation and line hand).
Many thanks in advance

Re: Evaluating the Haul
Correct Walter. That is about 900 deg/s in a very short time, typical of a competition cast.

Re: glass vs graphite
Carbon fibers are somehow brittle, it is the commercialisation of nanoparticles in resins which improved their resistance to shock.

Re: Evaluating the Haul
Hi Walter
FWIW here are the speed profiles for a 170 forward cast from Paul. Maybe you could take inspiration from these data to define your scenarios: Merlin

Re: glass vs graphite
I think we are reinventing the wheel, this topic has likely been discussed many times. Rod design is obviously depending on material characteristics (I disagree with Lasse on this point, if we are speaking of the same thing). Scott have been making (small) glass rods for years, I own two of them, bu...

Re: does balancing a rod have and effect on casting?
You may ask John Waters about balance, it is a complex issue, and certainly not a static test one.
