That is a thing of beauty! Absolutely awesome! I have made roller guns many years ago long before they were available in shops, but I have never seen one quite like this. I am still working out how the third rubber works! I will attempt to make one when I have figured it out. Thank you for a great design. Greetings from New Zealand. OK, got it figured now! Took a few times watching you load it though.
Dear Miranda, Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it a lot. For this inverted roller gun I used a preloaded rubber . It is preloaded before each utilisation. A maximum of stretch on the main rubber. It is easy to load with the demultiplication. Then on the second and third rubber there is less stretch otherwise impossible to load.. Regards, Jean-Philippe
@@jpemonides Thanks for that. I figured it out in the end that the main bands must be preloaded, otherwise you wouldn't get enough stretch with the pulley system. I saw that the shorter band goes to a hook on the underside and the third one over the reel? It will be a winter project, (summer now over here) for me to make myself a new speargun, I'm still deciding the final configuration. Greetings from Aotearoa/New Zealand Miranda.
@@mirandahotspring4019 Yes exactly, the second band goes on the hook and the third one over the reel... I can also put both bands on the hook if I want to reduce the power...
Great job. I'm really happy that my originally idea of inverted roller is working up to date. It's long time, about 15 years, that i ideated for the first time inverted roller. Now i see it along the world. Life is so strange. I remember a comment : "you are making a silent revolurion". I'm happy .... the time goes on .. the idea rest. Bye Stefano.
Wow! Must have! My second oldest son is giving me problems. I offer an honest trade, one for one swap. I have an upcoming trip to Costa Rica, need a new weapon to slay cubera and schoolie yellowfin.
Salut, félicitation pour ton travail ! Je suis actuellement en pleine recherche sur un projet de Rollergun, j'aurais aimé partagé le retour d’expérience. Est-ce qu'on peut échanger les contact ? Cdt Merci
