The Lever/Fulcrum Formula
Bozo,
Thanks for adding to the discussion. I think there's a guy down Florida way that has also done some Amazing things with Very heavy chunks of coral and other stuff - all by himself. And this guy's story reminds me of it - where a truck had a delivery of a heavy concrete thing, they guy asked the driver to wait around the corner while he got it off the truck himself without any Crane - puzzling the truckie when he got back to his truck. Also. Have you seen the Stunt by Pen and Teller (I think it's them) when they drive a real truck over one of them. The key was... the side opposite the guy on the ground had Counterweights so that the side that ran over him had no weight on the ground, and even the heavy tires on that side had been replaced with foam replicas. Oh, and for those who are wondering, the Formula for the force required for a basic lever starts as: distance to fulcrum x mass. Meaning with a distance of ten yards on one side and a downward force of ten pounds (10x10 = 100) I can lift 100 pounds on the other side if it is one yard away (100x1=100). With the link you provided, I'd like to see a Current Update to his progress. So we could see how many Uprights he has stood and how many Top Stones he's managed to get into place. Because the photos are a few years old. Michael Ross |
