Modular Power:
A single RopeTie gives you a 3X theoretical power leverage.
Note: Our tests show that friction losses at the clam cleat
result in a 60% efficiency reducing the effective leverage factor
to 1.8
Additional impact on efficiency will depend on the friction
losses at the anchoring point - negligible if you use a low
friction pulley. |
Add a second RopeTie to
compound your leverage to effective 3.24X (... and add another
one to get 5.8X leverage!) and experience the dramatic reduction
of effort required to tighten a rope or pull a heavy
load.
