Cyclone 2.0

no, i know the cyclone cant feed past 18, well stock cyclone, i'm working on modifing the cyclone myself with some of your ideas and some of mine. Now i'm not sure its gonna work yet and i'm making a prototype of my idea now. I would explain what i'm doign but i wanna finish it and see that it works before i say anything, but if i'm right i think i can get it going 24 bps with no choping, but first let me finish making it and get a vid first.

Lets say i could get it up to 24-25 bps

Wait a minute, Lordjovian. Do you mean hopefully this whole"cyclone 2.0" will incraese the cyclone's max ROF up 1bps or just the porting would add an extra ball per second?

that doesnt sound like copyright infringemint cause your using a part its kind of like getting the ball bering copyrighted and get sued cause you sold metal balls i know thats kinda a lame commparison but its all i could think of. by the way where do you port the cyclone feed on the part closests to the feeder housing or you when your firing it?

God i hope so^

Sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately, I have yet to begin due to problems with the office I owrk at. We've been forced to re-locate and our network was hastily put together horribly. I've recently re-built it, and should have the time to focus on this awesome idea.

That idea for the blades is a good one- I was racking my mind trying to figure out how to get the blades stiff enough but also flexible enough. Thanks.

Solutions:

2. Molded rubber/ silicone blades. Similar to those paddle fan upgrades found in the Revvy, this can give the blades a little more forgiving flexure on the balls trying to drop between the blades. This can also help lighten the weight on the spindle, thus reducing friction, and allow the Cyclone spring to return to its original position quicker.

The other two solutions sound good but funny thing is I was thinking of the issue of number two on A5OG. I do not think an all flexible blade would throw the paint into the breach fast enough. One of the real limitations with the speed of the cycolne is not how fast it can through the paint in, but how the rotational speed of the blades actually prevents gravity from dropping paint into the 5 sprocket spaces. the spinning blades end up bouncing the balls up and away from them because of the stiff upper part of the sprocket.

I think the solution may be to keep the stiff lower (feeding) part of the sprocket, but either make the 2 armed upper part of the sprocket soft or add a set of soft arms above that to stir the balls and prevent them from being bounced back up away from the feed wholes. This problem is particularly evident when the hopper is less than half full (even somewhat an issue when less than 3/4).

How does that sound?

Lj have you got any further advances with this yet???? I realyl want to see how this works you could possibly patent and sell the patent to tippmann inc and make big bucks if this works out. sounds like an awsome idea
