That story was a roller coaster the entire way through lmao. Honestly that was a really interesting read. My ropes are nylon so I'm not sure how much effect water would have being that the ropes won't absorb it like the ropes of old would have. It's still very much worth trying because hey, why...

Now I realize that in the video the frame looks to be somewhat wobbly, this is because I had to pull on the rope laterally to the frame, which naturally makes the frame wobble. Also that trailer is significantly heavier than the load that's actually being lifted. Since the video was posted I've...

This, thank you. that's really been bugging me trying to remember the name.

So the most I can wrap around the winch is 2 times with each rope, then it fills the length of the spool and requires me pushing the "up" button and pulling on one rope to keep it taught, while my gf pulls the other rope to keep it taught. It really works already as it is, I was just looking...

truck bed, about 400Lbs. The winch is not needed, I just happened to have one lying around and figured wth, it'll make the job that much more easy. That was pretty much a "well I've got it, might as well use it"

You couldn't be further from the truth my friend. I've already tested this. The object that needs to be lifted is the bed of my truck weighing in at around 400lbs. See that trailer in the back? That's somewhere on the order of 1000+Lbs, and even without the winch I'm able to lift that trailer...

I have a winch and want to use it to assist with pulling some ropes connected to pulleys to lift some stuff. I have it setup so that it's similar to a system which I've seen in boating but unsure of the name of. It's basically using the winch to assist with the pulling but not allowing the rope...

I came to a mechanical engineering forum because I was curious about he flow dynamics, because, as the title says I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to help with a flow simulation. I didn't come here to discuss fuel economy, and as I stated above that is not my interest in this...

let me make it completely clear, I'm not buying into any of the extreme mileage claims or anything of that nature, I'm just curious about the flow dynamics. I'd be very curious to see what the difference actually is visually, and really what it looks like in it's stock configuration. I'd be...

Hello all, I've come in search of some information, and hopefully if possible a little bit of help. On searching the web for various ways to improve my truck in general I came across this very interesting mod that I've never once heard of in my entire life, "The Gadgetman Groove", which is a...
