TORSION OF THE PULLING ROPE

TORSION OF PULLING ROPE

One of the interested experts, an expert in air cablecars and ropeways fom Vienna, expects, that the main pullingrope with its length of 3.5 km between the mainstations will drill around its own middle, so the clutch for the single rope to the boat will also turn around that way.

First inventor yet doesn’t know, wich kind of cable or chain will be used, chaines fo example won’t twist at all. He hopes for hints from cableproducers, which kind of cable (carbon, new materials of elevatorcables, mixed materials …) would be the best.

There exist a lot of further solutions: Connectors, which allow twisting of the rope; ropes with a coat, in which the inner part of the rope can rotate;
I expect, that an answere is as possible as it is for the aircablecars also, they have the same problem.

UPWARD FORCES OF THE BOAT PULLER

MANAGEMENT OF THE VERTICAL FORCES

One of the experts means, that the single rope between the main pulling rope and the boat will need horizontal and vertical forces for pulling the boat.

The result of the vertical forces will be, that the main pulling rope will swim up to the boat.

He honestly doubts, that the rope can be kept 10 m below watersurface.

There are a lot of possibilities for controlling the vertical  forces:

  1. The connection between boat and main pulling rope is descripted as a combination from a aluminium triangel combined with ropes, the peak of the triangel fixed at the boats nose and the rope at the lower end of the stick. Therewith vertical movement of the main pulling rope is definitely excluded.
  2. The 4  variables .weight of rope .tension of rope .weigth of the clutch and .number + distance of subwater rope keepers – like the supports of air cablecars, only under water –  the right combination of these 4 variables should be enough for keeping the rope, were it should stay.
