@@Ian.GostlingI was thinking in terms of a certain someone picking fault, it's clear enough and to be honest, this is something he could probably manage to replicate on his porch for himself👍😊.
I would like to see Tin foil on the ground to record the landing distance. Stephen Brough used Tin quite successfully in his videos and I thought that was quite ingenious.
@@Ian.Gostling I don't waste my time watching his videos. He has no credibility on any subject and his only talent is abusive behaviour. Just ask the nuns that attempted to educate the damned soul.
Nice idea Ian and something interesting and new to look at. My only question is, is there any reason for not having the pipe vertical, so that the balls could then leave the elbow horizontaly, without having to launch upwards a bit? I might be over thinking it as the results look near enough right at a glance, possibly a small shortfall for the lower drop, unless my eyes deceive me. I just wondered if that might be because in both cases the balls are forced to overcome the same "obstacle" - the same relatively quick change in direction caused by the elbow piece - But I dunno really whether or not that bias's it slightly in favour of the 2 x V case - Perhaps not, because, I suppose the same thing applies if dropping vertically. PERHAPS a nicely bent pipe with no elbow piece, so the gradual bend naturally transitions it's direction from vertical to horizontal, with minimal sudden change? But then I don't know whether the curve would have to be mathematically calculated, rather than what "looks" right. If I'm not careful, I'll be suggesting doing it in a vacuum lol and Goofy STILL wouldn't accept the evidence, so this is probably near enough. I would also imagine the solidity of construction could make a small difference too, if some energy might be lost to pipe movement, so next you'll be doing it in titanium pipe and he won;t accept that either.
Thanks Steve,two reasons, vertically the ball lost too much energy at the bottom hitting the sharp bend. Secondly this angle gave the nice 45 degree launch angle I wanted with the elbow 90 degree fitting.
