Forces involved with Iron Woody bands.

rubadub · 2009-09-05 14:29:14

This pdf shows some figures measuring the forces involved in iron woody bands, I know some here have them so it might be of interest. I am using bike inner tubes myself and have calibrated them myself. http://www.if.uidaho.edu/~chris/docs/CalculatingElasticBandTensions.pdf Note they connect to the ground using shackles 12"…

Note they connect to the ground using shackles 12" apart, this would alter the stretched lengths. If yours was attached in 1 point you would have less force at the same stretch height.
