Rolling Resistance Demo
Credit to Zackdonald. Shocks are set to full. Action is from left to right. I want to say first one there (will be at the bottom of the collector) has the least rolling resistance, but mass could keep late arrivals from accelerating as quickly. Suggestions?

- Dec 20, 2012 MonkeyFrog: Nice idea, but i'm jay3554s opinion. The heavier the ball, the more moving energy it transforms into rotational energy
- Jun 11, 2012 Jornum: ok I am having problems getting the silver beams straight (on an LTEvo w/ Defender otterbox) @Jay: I am trying to set up an incline and then adjust the springs to put them all at an even speed and then see witch one rolls back down the quickest. Also the springs will be anchored.
- Jun 11, 2012 jay3554: Your mixing up rolling resistance with weight.
- Jun 11, 2012 Erle: @Jornum: Good thinking -- go for it!
- Jun 11, 2012 Rubicon: Very well done. At times the blue ball is a distant first, other times the blue and the red are neck and neck but the red goes first, its inconsistent.
- Jun 11, 2012 Jornum: @Jornum: attaching not searching
- Jun 11, 2012 Jornum: Judging from the shock movement we can see the mass differences. From least to greatest it would seem blue, red, wood, rubber. I suggest making the springs stationary by searching them to the same beam and then placing a silver beam on the top and bottom blocking anchors off from the adjoining beam and forcing them up an incline, if you get what I'm saying
- Jun 11, 2012 Erle: @Zakdonald: So it would seem... Now, check out the Mass Demo. And my apologies for missing the spelling of your name...
- Jun 11, 2012 Zakdonald: Ah i was thinking something totaly different. This is cool. So the blue ball has the least rolling resistance.
