Will the Petzl Neox perform any differently to other assisted braking devices when embedded in hauling systems?
A close look at what happens when multiple ropes share traditional edge rollers.
Last month I published the test report: Pulley + rope efficiency. As with most tests, I was left with even more questions. The key observation was that measured pulley efficiency varies significantly (up to 10%)
There more to measured pulley efficiency than just consideration of the physical bearings or bushings on the axle. This report considers the effect of losses within the rope.
The Transport Hitch can be used to tension and hold a load in a limited set of scenarios. It is an interesting study of physics and it helps us to understand the importance of friction. This knot
