Free* weak link tensile testing.

He's also the fellow who next week six and a half months ago was going to answer all of Joe Faust's questions about why T** at K*** S****** was a dangerous nut case and major threat to the sport of hang gliding who needed to be silenced.

Tad Eareckson's latest tow release

Weren't you the fellow that was going to do some high tech testing of different weak links and releases?

I have a 10kN (2,200lbf) tensile tester at my disposal. Mail me your links, and I will test them.
The * after the "free" is a stipulation. Disclose all relevant information about the link, and let me publish the data for everyone to enjoy. That's it. All it costs you is a envelope. Want to try a different knot? What to try a new material? What happens when you use two links? What about old links? You will know. Tensile tests like this are much more telling than just a material's failure or ultimate point.
I'm a west coast foot launch guy, but I've got about 20 tows at enjoy field and whitewater combined. I've seen your guy's testing contraptions. I've also glossed over Tad's color ASCII text batshit insane manifesto. But I got turned off when it was clear he doesn't know the difference between acceleration, mass, and what forces are. Maybe my machine can paint a better picture for the tow world. Also in the background of that pic is a SEM, it will be interesting to see the failure up close.

In place of debunking the scientifically illiterate and religiously motivated Tad. I've started a free weak link testing endeavor. Send me your links and i will test them free of charge.

It's currently mouldering back at the top of Page 43 with zero replies and 162 hits.Whatever happened to that project?
