Different Kinds
of power: As the first in a series of tech notes , official articles being
written for GNG, I figure this is the best place to post, since it allows
me to get the juices flowing as fars as writing, and allows me to get some
actual feedback from soaker people, alsoletting you know the experiments I
have been working through. This is the the GNG Tech Notes.
Different Kinds of Power.
One could assume that specific power is specific power, and essentially, it
remains constant, a form of energy that is described as always being uniform.
However, through different applications, the same power can be harnessed to
work in different ways, so essentially, it is not the power that changes,
but the way it is applied. The reason for the title is to allow for easier
understanding, but by this last paragraph, I may have lost everyone in it.
Onto the element.
Power can be harnessed in many ways. It can be harnessed to limit it, or to
totally let it do its own agenda, however, you will see the specific factors
effecting what I am explaining. Most recently, I have pulled out an old dormant
experiment of mine, the CPS-12000/1000, perhaps not unique in theory, but
unique in actually design and application. This experiment, 12000/1000, includes
a combined number of factors that allow for it to achieve what I am going
to describle, not just one change. Basically, the whole design of the project
was to design a modify a blaster to fire as hard or harder than the CPS-2000.
But what is hard? What does that describe? What does it mean to you?
To many, it means distance. Surely the most common misconception is that the
farther the distance, the more power applied. However, this is wrong, and
I will prove it(I hope I am right here!) Basically, the 12000/1000 has been
power-modded, not only to the main pressure structure, but the entire weapon
being tuned to allow for the stresses of higher performance. Then the CPS-2000.
The CPS-2000 in this experiment is the constant, firing 50-55 ft. with a 20X
stream. The 12000/1000 cannot be the constant because I have no documentation
yet of it's true caliber. The first test was a distance test. First, since
the CPS-2000 is the unnoficial victor, is fired first to allow the 12000/1000
to 'step up' to it. The weapon was fired at a 45 degree angle and the huge
stream rained down on concrete. Its distance was noted. Next, the 12000/1000
was tested in the exact same manner, same start, same angle, and fired. The
majority of the stream fell about 5-7 feet behind the 2000s. Next, a raw power
velocity test. This test is performed in a opened garage to shield it from
the side wind. I took the 2000, and held it level against the groud, and fired.
Its distance was noted. Then, taking the 12000/1000, under the same conditions,
same start, level ground, and fired. The stream moved past the resting place
of the 2000's and fell 7 feet ahead of it. It completely caught me off guard.
What does this tell me? I am not sure yet, other than many factors affected
the difference: 1. Power -next
