Hi guys!
My undergrad school is having a "yo yo" competition.
We build the yo yo which is thrown from the height of 30m, connected by a 10mm thick elastic rope. The factors of success depend on who can make the yo yo jump back as high as possible (meaning the less energy lost the better), and then we start counting how many times it jump above the line of 5m hight. The more important factor is the initial back jump.
Can I use your assistance in figuring out the best way to create the yo-yo?
First, how should I tie the rope to the yo-yo in order to preserve as much energy and less friction?
Should I use a ball bearing in the yo yo?
What geomatry is the best for the yo yo? Do i want as little momentum inertia as possible?
Any other suggestions and idea will be more the welcomed :)
