Was thinking of using this for a ghost drop down a stopped line, however, 3 feet is just too short. Do you think it is possible to modify the length of the drop to around 10 feet?
In theory yes. If you put a pully block you can double the distance. I was considering doing it for this video but I didn't have the time to test it. The issue would be one of weight. The more pully's you put the lighter you would need to make the prop or assistance it would need and there is a point where it becomes too fine to control. Also, I don't think it drops 3 feet. I think it might drop a foot and a half. If you'd, like I can give it a try and get back to you with results. Just let me know what the weight of the ghost is.
@@UndeadLaboratoryI would be using a super light ghost prop, not sure of weight but I'd assume no more than 2 pounds. However, if you are only able to double the length of the 1.5 feet, that would still only be a 3 foot drop, which i think is still too short for what I'm trying to do
@@drewalbritton1625 It is possible to get to 10 feet, but it would require like 6 pullies. My concern is actually more of the amount of pullies and lines you would need to move would really slow down the system. I will experiment a little and see what I come up with.
@@UndeadLaboratory the only other automated method I found was this video from 2009. It makes sense, but I'm not able to make enough sense from the machinery itself. ruclips.net/video/MNBsZ0a2iDI/видео.htmlsi=OmqRis8MxYjMqtoF
@@drewalbritton1625 haha, I know exactly which video you are talking about. I did manage to figure it out and could potentially make a guide on how it works but I don't really have the time to make a build with it. It is honestly a better system if you want a longer drop or heavier prop.
That end shot is really cool with the boiling water under it. Really creative solutions, Spirit should take notes.
