From memory, I'm going to guess that the
combined weight would be approx 15 lbs. The new cost should be approx $1000CAD,
but used I could probably find the pair used for a few hundred bucks or
less. Sorry this isn't more accurate, but
if from the pics you decide that you're still interested I will get precise info
when I finish school this year. FWIW, I
think this should work well, however they are no secret so I'd expect
that somebody must have tried it already and we haven't seen
any around yet soo....
Hi
Todd,
Thanks
for the info, and pics. I did some looking around, and found the following
web page that explains how this works:
Best I
can tell, the whole system is contained within the two pulleys, and is all
mechanical, and can be tuned with springs and weights. Very
interesting. You said some of these are used in 100+ HP machines
right?
If you
can find me a pair of used pulleys for a good price, I might just be
interested in having them to play with. Also, if you could name
some specific models that use these, I could try to look for some
myself.
BTW,
will you ever be done with school? Seems like you've been going for about
10 years now :-)
Thanks,
Rusty
