The discussion explores the concept of a spring that could theoretically store and release double the energy in its first half. Participants acknowledge that while such a spring likely does not exist, experimenting with different designs could yield interesting results. The feasibility of this idea raises questions about energy storage and mechanical efficiency. The conversation emphasizes the importance of innovation in engineering to explore unconventional solutions. Ultimately, the concept remains speculative but intriguing for further investigation.

Is there a type of spring that stores the energy of the whole spring and displaces the whole energy into on the first half of the spring? So basically doubling up the energy into the first half. There probably isn't but its worth a try to see if there is.

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
