No,he's right;those wheel spinners use low friction bearings,and any
crud will stop them.

So, you won't do the math either.

Math without practical experience is useless.

Practical experience without math is amateur guesswork.

John, I think you've got yourself out on a limb, on the wrong side of
the saw ;-)

I think it's you who has to put some numbers to it.

...Jim Thompson

I already did. And Guy confirmed it.

John

Macon?? That's almost as good as having "...bored..." do it ;-)

I think you need a pendulum of _substantial weight_ so that it
_doesn't rotate, but acts as a "pinning" point for the piston(s). What
weight does it take for a 1/2" piston working against 30PSI, and what
are the respective arm lengths?
