I hope you can see the drop tower through the trees. Please be safe if you do stupid stuff at home! Z2 Drill Powered Pulley - hownot2.store/products/z2 LineScale3 - hownot2.store/products/linescale-3
The wealth and collective knowledge that you share with each and every video you put out just gets better and better thanks man I appreciate everything you do!❤🎉❤
I don't rock climb. I never have. Not a single day in my life. The most I've ever climbed was the tree that used to be in the front yard of my childhood home. It had boards nailed to it to assist in that endeavour. This was very interesting though. I'm not sure why RUclips recommended this to me but I'm glad it did. I've learned a little bit about your world and that's a really cool thing. Cheers.
I'd be interested in seeing some rope course/ challenge course stuff tested (eye bolts, LEAP anchors, lobster claws, aircraft cable, actual elements, etc). I know the ACCT has some pretty strict standards but I haven't been able to find anything on their testing process.
@@HowNOT2 Awesome! When you mentioned rope courses at the beginning that made me think of that, but I didn't expect you to already be working on a video of them.
This was awesome! There is so much work that happens between theory and reality in engineering that people never see. So you don't want to hear this, but there's another way to drop test things besides a tower or tree. A really deep well! Or a mine shaft. And as a bonus, it's potentially way more dangerous than towers. But if you have access to an old mine shaft, and don't mine the potential of losing some of your gear forever, it might be an option. :)
man, even though I have given up on many cool projects in the past, just because I hit a wall, or the results were not good enough, it is always hard to grasp how much work goes into a simple YT video, explaining physics. I've been there, I should known better but this video really illustrates how hard it is to go through the process. appreciate you sharing! Even if it made the whole process even longer, by having to script and record this extra bit
More complicated but you could set a negative speed line to hold the weights close to the tree. Love the set up. I will be visiting the store soon. My body thanks you folks. Send it!
Winches that work well for back and forward /up down operations , is does that wind up the rope wire rope or the drum without having a end going out, or Winches that pull the rope wire "straight through " The capstan type where the rope goes around the drum several times and "out the back" , dont work very well when letting rope /wire out due to the rope rolling out will get under the rope of the drum. There are "rope pullers" / wire pullers that will work with endless ropes , in out .. and motorized winches that do the same.
I would definitely consider that Z2 device for use in tree work. Sometimes it is nice to get an easy ride to the top with 50# of rigging line, a big block, and a 20# chainsaw.
very neat. there's also the harken lokhead winch for this kind of stuff. i used to do that crossed ziptie thing on my via ferrata carabiners. now i just use a scaffold knot instead. it's annoying when they can rotate
For lifting stuff I would go for the Harken Riggerswinch 200 or 500. (200kg or 500kg), which has been replaced recently by the Topcrank winch 500. It is two-speed and has a manual crank. You can buy an adapter for a (angeled) drill. It will haul easily (I've been testing it last month with over 250m of rope and a weight of 300+ kg). For personal ascent you can consider buying the new Skylotec ICX which allso complies to the machine guidelines (European laws when using powered machines).
I considered a Topcrank 500 but it looks like it has to be mounted and it costs $2000k. I've used them on sail boats and they are nice. Releasing a load can sometimes have the same issues as a capstan. I didn't see where to buy a Skylotec ICX but the acx is 18,000 and is basically a Ronin. Got to feed the end of the rope through the device instead of installing it anywhere. I really like being able to add and remove this device from the system at any point.
Wonderful work, thank you. On the topic of what weight to drop I sympathise with the need to keep things small enough for safe handling. Consider making the total weight from multiples of about 20kg. Build them with an eye top and bottom, then shackle together as many as you need in place at the bottom of the drop. This will allow you 20-40-50-80-100kg testing as you wish. The predictable downside is the metal on metal crash as these 20kg metal sausages do a train crash simulation on impact... good slow mo for a few times. I think they will survive, but this assertion will need to be tested of course. 😉
Question.. why not take the Drill Powered Pulley up into the tree with you and pull from above? That way should be able to make any adjustments directly...
Hmm, a linescale and a tree? Seems like a simple thing to test a couple different diameter branches say 6” out from the trunk and see what they break at. Not the best plan but I’ve seen once or twice guys trying to get a line up as high as possible without always tying in! May have even done it myself once. 😁👍🏼
I'd be interested. We have a Harken Rigger 500, and burnt out a Milwaukee SuperHawg several times trying to raise ~200 kg with some edge friction using a main and belay setup. We've moved to twin tension (load sharing two rope systems) now and I wonder how this would perform as a raising device, with one on each rope.
2:34 About the square tubing I think it's negligible. But the "self-pinching" effect of these 2 rocks is a thing. About the square tubing: The forces that are responsible for the failure are from the dropped weight and they are transferred through the rope which is already stretching way more than the square tubing. So if it had stayed in place it couldn't have added that much more stretch to the rope.
I love this video!! Great to see the BTS of the process. The amount of work that goes into a 5 second clip in a video is enormous man!. That Z2 is useless for rope access work in the EU I think. It is not certified for anything. What happens if you let go of the handle during descent? It is perfect for what you are doing though ;-)
@@HowNOT2 that sounds like a good deal. Not that expensive and does what it is supposed to do as long as there is no client who wants certs for everything. 👍🏼👍🏼
That Z2 device is interesting. Looks like they scaled up a Skylotech Milan and added a ratcheting gear. Is there someone else making a similar device? I wouldn't want to use it for rope access without a lot more research. Using it for ascent only seems cool, but using it as a descender is triggering my Spidey senses. Imported rigging gear is impossible to avoid at this point--you typically won't find domestically produced wire rope anywhere, and the industry has kinda just accepted that. But every other vendor we use for rope access or rigging gear must either be a US company or major offices in the US or other countries that cooperate with the US legal system, traceability marks, etc... I don't like the idea of using complex rigging gear with a broken chain of liability. Maybe for personal use it doesn't matter so much, but this device is too expensive for that lol!
Well, the Ronin winch is end-feed. You cannot pass a labeled piece of rope trough. The new Skylotec ICX is a much cheaper alternative for their proven ACX and costs about 1/2.
@@lw671According to the manufacturer, it's been tested and qualified for the standard : XF 494-2004, "Fall arrest equipment for fire fighting". It's a standard under China's Safety Industry Standards. But not an International one.
I'm only commenting here because it's your latest video, but I think it would be really cool if you set up the dynos on a real highline, climb, and/or rappel and see what forces are over time. I imagine it'll be what's expected but it's nice to verify and even better if there are any unexpected results.
Climbers! (Tsk tsk from a ropey) I can’t believe you decided to climb the tree when you have a battery ascender on hand. It’s not an everyday item so that’d be like a holiday to me.
Couldn't you use a second cord to make a 100' (or whatever) bight in the row, put the load cell on top, and then cut the second cord to allow the main rope to drop 100' freefall and bottom out? I don't know jack diddliy squat about climbing, but that little capstan or reel or whatever you want to call it is the best damn little come-along alternative i think I've seen. That would be real handy for, say, pulling a machine tool up into a tilt trailer or similar.
You know when you have to move the really heavy weight back to the tree? You could try attaching your green lifting rope to it and use the winch to drag it back to the tree for you. Just throwing the thought out there for you as sometimes it's hard to see simple ideas when you are so close to a project. Also, that winch looks amazing, I just wish I could justify spending that much money when I'd be using it once a week as part of a hobby 😂
When raising the weight, you said the quick release is all that's holding it. Why not back it up with something until right before you're ready to do the test? Edit: watched the rest of the video and at least with the setup done in this video, there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to put in some backup. I was wondering if you would remotely trigger the test from the ground, but you're releasing the weight from right by the LineScale so I would definitely recommend backing up that quick release!
Yes, sometimes we can do that with a long soft shackle that's loose and removable, but if we lift the sample up much higher than the LS3, it's not practical to access it to remove it.
@@HowNOT2 Yeah, that makes sense. Just to spit-ball a few other ideas: 1. Does the QR shackle have a safety pin of some sort? Perhaps that could be rigged up with its own release line so that you need 2 lines to be pulled in the correct sequence to release the weight. 2. There are remotely-releasable hitches that you could use to tie your release line so that the hitch must be undone before the release line will pull on the QR shackle. For example, the highwayman's hitch. That would require pulling longer and harder on the release line before the QR would release. You'd have to make sure that there isn't any slack in the line between the QR and the hitch, since you wouldn't want that portion of the line to be able to snag on anything. Hope that makes sense. Just trying to help add layers of safety!
7:51 The drop tower in Lodi? Lodi is a town I live in. Did I mishear you or is there actually another town with the same name (because I seriously doubt you live near me lol)?
My only suggestion as a climbing arborist would be, walk your rope down the hill and use your z2 to winch the 150lb "dummy" back up, instead of humping it up the hill.
@@HowNOT2 Seems like the Ronin et-al is kind of overkill - batteries, motors and controllers aren't that expensive these days, but maybe that's in favor of line speed. What kind of speed are you seeing out of the Z2 with your hand drill?

Fall factor is unitless, it's a ratio of distance of fall to length of rope in the system. 2 ft fall on 2 ft of rope is a factor 1 fall, just as a 2m fall on 2m of rope would be a factor 1.
Bro, you need to reach out to ballistic dummy labs and have then make you a full body replica out of ballistic gel. You could put it in clothes and harness it would be cool for these tests
Expert here: your test is invalid. You didn't crossloaded, the carabiners are too new, the slings are not used enough, the soft-shackles look too nice and I'm sure the micro-traction is adding to the force of the test. Did I missed anything 😬?
@HowNOT2 I get that you're trying to grow the channel and have it be a good source of income, but I find the new clickbait-style video titles really annoying...it's impossible to know what's in the video and makes it really annoying to go back search again for something specific when they all are titled something generic

The book I'm working on will organize all the content so it will be very easy and enjoyable to go through our entire library. I'm not trying to make this a good source of income.... I'm trying to make it sustainable. If a small fraction of people click on the video, the channel may end. The work I do and want to do isn't sustainable for channel with 10k subscribers.
@@HowNOT2 yeah, I assumed as much. Such is the system we live in. Appreciate everything you do!
Just buy the NASA vehicle assembly building. Tallest indoor drop tower *_EVER,_* stairs, walk ways, and several gantry cranes. Couple more good months in the store & you should have more than enough money! 😁
