56 Springs

[Mick F]

I stripped down a broken and damaged garden trampoline the other day, and disposed of it all at the local recycling centre.
I kept all the springs.

They are 6ins long and 1ins diameter, hooked at either end.
They are in an old shoe box ............... and the cat seems to like the box!

What should I do with these springs?

Maybe construct a swing and connect 28 of them either side to bounce and swing?

What would you do with 56 springs?

Spring is just around the corner.

Actually I thought you were now off to cycle to all the OS marked natural (water) springs in Cornwall!!

Make a hammock and relive your previous life on the ocean.

Make a gigantic sculpture to be erected by a cycleway and restart the argument: what is art?

An idea that many would recoil from?

If I connected all 56 in series, how much recoil would there be?
Could I construct a catapult to fire rocks over to England across the valley?

Spiral springs may seem simple but they are fascinating, have a read about the spring industry in Redditch
Got a delivery of springs at work once, very small ones on a pallet: one million tiny springs!

Closely allied to another industry/trade which was based in Redditch. For 5 bonus points what was that industry?

Something to do with cycling, half odds?

Computer says no

It may be connected to something close to my heart.

Stints ?

[Bonefishblues]

Ha, very good, but no, not stents.

Think hobbies and pastimes.

Fine wire windings...
