Need Ball Bouncers for Breech experiment

…and their toilet named hoot…

so do your balls float when youre shittin, that could get messy, especially if they sink… 😯

Ah, it’s an individual analysis not a comparative analysis.

I had a feeling your program would reverse engineer the properties if you had the data. 😉

Hoot you big thinker you, you’ve been holding out on us all these years… 😉

I was planning one doing all the balls in a short period of time.

I understand the balls will fall at the same rates but if your going to compare one against the other it seems that they would all have to be the same size on the bounce. I don’t know though, just a hunch…

The effect being researched is called “Dynamic Hardness”, defined also as “Rebound Hardness”.

This property measures the height of the “bounce” of a material dropped from a fixed height onto a material. This type of hardness is related to elasticity. The device used to take this measurement is known as a scleroscope. Two scales that measures rebound hardness are the Leeb rebound hardness test and Bennett hardness scale.

That being said, such information already exists in a number of forms, some of which may need interpretation.

Consider that “bounce” is actually a combination of “Flexural and Compressive strength at a given temperature F/C (recalling that molecular motion is primary in the determination of the above mentioned strengths. Example, at 50F, water won’t bounce, but at 32F, water will slow its molecular activity enough to form a solid, and bounce off a hard surface. This is true of all materials.

Flexural Modulus of Elasticity, of a specific material @ a given degree F/C, is the effect being researched here.

The properties of plastics are given at this web site: http://www.machinist-materials.com/comparison_table_for_plastics.htm and further charts are available for various materials, such as steel, alloys, organic molecular materials such as carbon nano-tubes, and the list is endless.

However, it is not measured in how high a given material will bounce, at a specific degree F/C, off a specific base material that has identical deformation under load properties.

In layman’s terms, multiple experimenters cannot obtain reliable results in this property test, given the differences in temperature, flexural, deformation, and surface tension variables of the bouncing surface, and specific properties of the material being bounced.

To be reliable, one person must determine exactly what materials he needs to obtain the data on, have a control surface that is identical for all materials “bounced”, conduct such tests in a static environment with no variables of humidity or temperature, , and base his/her results on multiple, averaged, data for each material “bounced”.

I hope this helps. I know it’s complicated, but this is not a simple test…IF you want consistent, repeatable, and reliable results. All variables must be eliminated, and identical results achieved by other experimenters, for the test to be scientifically valid.

It’s an interesting test to be watched, but cannot easily be farmed out. And, it’s already been done on all materials previously to determine their properties. The problem is…for most individuals, the data is measured in units that are not suitable for our use.

Kindest regards,

Uncle Hoot 😯

Don’t have to be the same size? What fancy program to you have now!? 😆

im resisting here…but maybe we could get some .251-.253 delrin balls as ammo for some hardcore ass welts…
