[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 347013, member: 7956"] No need to get worked up mate, I was pointing out there are simple devices that have great catch rates already. The one you have in mind with cams and pushrods with all the moving parts will undoubtedly be very complicated and heavy, you'll need a motor to run it as well, so there is a battery or a petrol motor as well to contend with. All those moving parts with material grinding away at them will cause excessive wear and tear very quickly and could possibly seize. Anyway you clearly don't want my thought so I'll stay out of the thread from now on, but like I said if you can make something like that work I'll tip my hat to you. [/QUOTE]
