I apologize for the unit confusion, 175lbf = 778.44N, 200lbf = 889.64N. Also the diameter of the rollers is equal to .127meters with a length of .4064 meters. The gap between the rollers is equal to .019meters. Although the springs depicted are small, they will need to widen the gap from...

I created a plastic bottle and aluminum can crusher. I researched and found out that my crusher should apply at least 175 lbf - 200lbf in order to crush the beverage container. My design idea is very similar to that of a cold rolling manufacturing process. Although I have research the cold...

Awesome, thank you! I was able to figure out my calculations from all of your help :)

One more quick question...Once i find my Kinetic energy how do I determine my maximum height? Do I find the initial velocity first and then use gravity as a negative acceleration?

Thank you for the quick response! I am going to give this a shot and see what I can come up with. I realized that I will need much more height than that so I think I am going to try a spring with a different K value. Unfortunately the launcher has too be place within tight constraints so I...

I am trying to create a plinko launcher for my plinko board (as you would see in the price is right). I created a pinball type spring launcher and used a bell crank in order to change the horizontal force into a vertical force. I am using a 3.5in spring with a spring constant of 1.09lbs/in. I...
