Great work! What happen if it is elevated without changing the shooting angle so the rope comes off the ground? Will it still be as high as it is or will it sag down?
if you tilt the whole machine up, would the bottom string come off the ground, or is the speed too slow and rope too heavy? think it would do a longer rope?
Tilting the machine up more makes the rope catch on the funnel at the intake, but with that speed it should theoretically be able to keep a rope tight up to around 70 feet straight in the air (plenty for the 80ft rope used). The motor is not powerful enough to do a longer rope (I started with 100 ft).
@@eugenekovalenko7090 flying links. In the book they are nano bots that form a structure kind of like these string shooters. If you had a string with enough mass, could you drop a glider onto one of these strings to push the glider up higher and faster than you could manually launch it from a device that packs up into the back of your car.
Project is great, but footage is crap. Barley can see what's going on and path of the string - which most interesting and stunning part - is shown for a couple of seconda in hole video
First fray the ends and over lap them. Then run a needle and thread repeadly through the intersection of the two ends while occasionally using the thread to wrap around the outside of the rope.

Nice job!
This is excellent - thanks!
Amazing

@@tachionics9925 I'm glad you mentioned funnel, because i was curious how you kept control of the string. great work!
are you familiar with the flynks in seven eves? I have been thinking about using something like this to launch a glider of some sort up.

how did you connect the 2 ends of the rope ?
