| 694961 | 2008-08-04 19:57:00 | Hi Guys My partner and I have invented a couple of products, patents pending. We would like to be able to test them. We would like to build a simple machine to do this. All it needs is an arm, made of wood or metal about 15 cm high, that extends about 20 cm that can be released and swing in one direction. The "swing" needs to be able to be regulated as regards to speed and pressure. It needs to be able to knock something over. I can do it with my hand, but we need to be able to say that with this speed and this pressure it will or not knock something over. If one of you could draw me a design that will work and is easy for a non- technical guy like me to make, I will be prepared to make a cash offer. It does not need to look good. It needs to use simple components that I can buy and put together easily. Kind Regards Digby |

A spring pulls one way and a piston in a cylinder with an air adjustment valve regulates the rate? |

| 694963 | 2008-08-04 23:54:00 | Hi BM That sounds promising. I would need the force to be the same every time I released it. I suppose the air valve would do that. |

| 694965 | 2008-08-05 11:26:00 | Digby. What you want is something along the lines of a 'Trebuchet'. Make it any size you like. Guaranteed to move or smash anything in front of it. :D :D :D |
