I just successfully dropped about 130 lbs of lead balls. One nice thing about it is that the disk stopper, that prevents the balls from falling out, doesn't really see the total weight of the balls that are in the hopper. Most of the weight get distributed to the spherical hopper wall, so there is not the stress on the turning screw. The turning screw is Acme stainless thread ( 3/4") , actually what turns is the screw and the short piece of thread is what is attached to the disk holding plate which falls out. It was a trip pouring all these balls into the hopper ! I need to have somebody inside releasing so I can observe next time! </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Cheers, </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
