Strain ellipse mechanics adjacent to clamps

First things first goon. What’s up with the personality test question?

Aw, heck. I’m reaching out to you man! I like the way you think (I do NOT always agree with you, however) I thought I might be talking to an INTJ (look it up).

Twatteaser mentioned I take this test online and it basically summed my personality up so well that I am STILL geeking out about it!

I couldn’t help but smile at the applied physics, diagrams on engineering grid paper along with handwriting that shows a strong “lettering” influence. You and I likely have more in common than we know about.

Google the test, take it (quick and painless) and then PM me if you are as impressed as I was.

Any thoughts about the rest of my post?

goon, my catholic high school made me take the Minneapolis Aptitude test when I was 16. I took it honestly. The test results indicated that I was lying in my answers. I was devastatingly confused. I’ll spare you and the rest of the Forum from a description of what occurred as a result of that confusion, but suffice it to say, I don’t hold tests like these in high regard, and I certainly don’t take them anymore.

I was sloppifying my printing to disguise my perfect engineering scrawl (minus the 4 degree tilt to the right :) )

I don’t feel much like thinking mechanistically at the moment. I’ll reply to your thoughts later. You wont have to wait long, my mind works on things like this even when I don’t want it to.

No, I can’t say that I did.

Don’t forget that although fulcrum hanging and clamping may act on the tissues with the same basic mechanics, the results would be very different due to the forces applied to the tissues being very different.

Still, I think the theory is valid and certainly has merit.

I was thinking of maybe joinging together 3 or 4 clamps, seperated by at least a clamp width, and trying that out.

I wasn’t expecting that you did Andrew. There are significant dis-similarities between the mechanics of clamping and fulcrum hanging…heck you brought up fulcrum hanging in the context of this thread, I was just asking if you had based on your having brought it up here.

Let me clear something else up: there are no theories presented in this thread. There is a hypothesis, sparky’s, which is clamp-adjacent gains, and there’s an interpretation, mine, of the operant mechanics of his proposed hypothesis. No theories.

Oh goody, I’m so relieved! I’m yankin’ your chain here goon, I’m glad you like the idea.

Well until we can measure these forces, it stands to reason that we’ll have to speculate doesn’t it?

The inquisitive person would try it to sate their curiosity. This inquisitive person has and has presented what he has in this thread as based on the results of those trys.

Not in my experiments.

That’s what I do. I like it. It’s good. I suggest others do it too.

This is the general concept that, based on my experiments with it, I’ve suggested guys try. Several times now.

Please report your thoughts on it in this thread if you try it.

Any updates xenolith or sparky?

Haven’t seen this thread before. Not sure if it exactly happens like it is described here but I have experienced the same phenomena. From clamping I gained twice as much girth at the base as at the middle. I’ve also had great expansion from using a ribbed hanger for a while.

However what should not be overlooked is that this doesn’t only affect the tunica but also the skin and veins. If you tighten a clamp you squeeze the blood out the veins in the clamparea. Add another clamp and the pressure in the veins between the 2 clamps increase. The closer the clamps the higher the pressure.

Btw I think there’s still plenty of stretching going on right under a clamp. I don’t think it suddenly starts at the edges of a clamp.

This works fellas. Particularly with multiple adjacent constructively interfering interaction volumes…i.e. multiple cable clamps/hose clamps at ~0.75” apart along shaft.

For the inquisitive and cautious only. PE practitioner veteran card required.

Just wanted the inquisitive and cautious to know.

Maybe its time I jumped back onto the PE horse :)

I love physics and this was a great theory. Makes sense though, from my experience ~2 years ago clamping I actually gained girth (cemented as well) distinctly on the base of my shaft, but none whatsoever ~1”+ above the area I was clamping. I always thought multiple clamps were dangerous and just overkill, although I’ve seen a couple of pictures where some people had clamps side-by-side (aristocane) and one at bottom, one at top. This explanation/diagram however makes sense, and since I’m just now getting back into PE, I’ll try this at a later time. Nice info!

If you guys use more than one clamp just be careful I can’t tell you how many times my dick has been about to blow from over pressure but I was able to release my one clamp fast enough to prevent injury. When clamping 2 seconds could be the difference between getting hurt or not. I’m not saying it’s not a good theory I’m just telling you all to watch out and be careful.

Bump.

I bought the extra cable clamps.

Experiment time!

Awesome thread! Gonna read it thoroughly later!
