Results

The test was repeated 2 times.  The first test was done with a different scale to measure the force out.  A standard spring scale with a dial was first used.  However, the results shown to the right demonstrates that there was a significant amount of loss in the system. The results' discrepancies were attributed to two causes, accuracy of the spring scale, and the leftover epoxy on the surface of the device from manufacturing.

            In order to yield more accurate data, the two causes were to be minimized.  The scale was replaced with a digital scale, and both of the counters were tested for accuracy and precision. The device was also disassembled and each part was cleaned of excess epoxy and material to ensure proper function. 

            After the two causes of inaccurate results were mediated, the test was performed again and yielded data which was closer to calculated results.
