Hi Is this question still open? I do not really understand your drawing but i think there is a problem with your calculations. Please explain how should work your device.

Hi i would do a measurement.

You may tray a stretching gear. The stretching force can be a hanging mass or regulated by a spring and a stressingscrew

Hi This (your last drawing) is exactly the system like your drawing in the FEM system. No overconstrains. First you calculate the forces in rod 1-2 and rod 1-3 (take joint 3 as pinned and remove rod 3-4 and 3-5.), so you get the forces in joint 3. Secound you can calulate forces in rod 3-4 and...

Hi If Joint 1 and 3 not rigid, then the structure is not overconstrained so you do not need to remove pins.

Yep, i agree. I think it is not essential to give all energy from the rod to the ball. Especially not if you want shot more balls continouosly:)

Hi I think this problem is more complicated. Next to the high Kinetic energy you need a high velocity to. There is a correlation betven the motors performance and the rods optimal inertia.

I think the exact pressure/temperature/cristallisationvelocity are industrial seecret. You need to experiment with it if you hawe the equipment. I hawe seen once a Pressure/Temperature diagram from Enydine. It is a factory for industrial diamonds. This diagram was very complex. If you want to...

You need a hidraulic pressuresystem and more than 3000K. To keep the permanent pressure on this temperature is not a backyardproject. sorry
