Welcome back Richard! I was wondering about you the other day. Richard goes WAAAAAY back to the MSA days and he (I helped a tiny bit) measured ewheel stiffness back in 2002 at the first MetalMeet. These measurements validated a spreadsheet that Richard developed to calculate stiffness in Ewheels. When I owned Imperial, I used that spreadsheet a lot and when someone would ask about what size machine they should build out of whatever material they had found, I used the spreadsheet to predict the feel of the machine for a given throat. It was a very big deal for me and indirectly at least, for the community.
What have you been up to?
