Beginning Roll Program
Start of Period 2.
Pre BPFSL 24cm
Post BPFSL 24.2cm
Strain 0.8%
As this was the first run with this new setup, I have some observations that I need to address and correct on order to improve the application:
1. I started with only 0.5kg. This was rather too low tension, as the clamp was almost too heavy for the whole setup. Tomorrow I will start with 1kg.
2. This clamp specifically is not efficient. It is too big and heavy, even though is made out of plastic. It has an excellent grip, but its weight makes it hang from the rope, altering the existing tension. Also, its big tip does not efficiently locks in place in the entrance of the pulley. A “needle nose” type would be better, and smaller in size. I will look for that.
3. Do to the extra gadgets attached, connector hooks, scale, rubber bands, once I twist my penis over my leg, it tends to try to roll back to its original position by twisting the whole setup. I will have to engineer a way to make this whole connection solid once hooked up together. This effects corrects itself as tension increase, but at the beginning it becomes unstable.
On a different note, the vacuum cup behaved perfectly due to the less weight. I did not pass 2.5kg. Perhaps that is too low for 24cm of length? That remains to be answered as the Period continues. This weight is definitely less than what I used during my first Period.
I will address each step at a time. Tomorrow I will start with 1kg of weight, and will add at the end one more increment of 200gr.
The temperature monitoring is excellent. The gorilla tape is excellent. It sticks to the skin like glue holding the thermocouples in place, and the 4 different points of measuring makes a huge difference when it comes to even distribution of heat.
