It'll collapse unless the springs have enough stiffness in the longitudinal direction. They'll still carry the same load that way. They just might also carry a much higher load laterally as well.


then you would want to use springs that have enough
stiffness.
they will carry the same load that the 100kg mass * its
speed places on it because it is what the force of the
load is being placed on.

the load begins at a 45 degree angle , and ends at 1 degree angle.

the brunt of the force that is applied is transmitted lateraly into the springs , not in the (-) direction.

this is a common way that engineers use structual design
to make car crashes less strenous on the driver.

springs are used throughout structual engineering and are
in use to reduce stresses.

there will be some force directed in the (-) direction
but most will be directed in the lateral or sideways directions.

like before when the turn was placing 8000N of the 12000N in the (-) direction because the directional forces applied to the turn were not being absorbed by springs and the forces were not being directed outwards.

using the springs directs most of the force outwards
the stress that the pipe feels is outwards.

There's no way you can arrange springs to make a component of the force dissapear. Imagine, if there was, you could lift a car with one hand. Just put this 'force redirecter' between you and the car, so its weight is sent sideways.


I can lift a car with 1 hand , all I need is a long lever
and fulcrum or a set of pulleys , the springs do not make any forces dissapear , I know you know that , they do not go away they are stored by the springs , and while the forces are being held by the springs inside the pipe those forces are all sideways.

Then the mass is stopped so the machine can no longer operate??


you stop the mass after the springs have tossed it
back into the accelerator.

this removes the free float side.

there are no more turns.

accelerate the mass with the accelerator.(-)40m/s
the springs accelerate the mass to ()0m/s
the springs accelerate the mass to (+)40m/s
the accelerator accelerates the mass to()0m/s

then the mass is setting where it began , it
is waiting to be accelerated again.

this way the mass never travels faster than
40m/s so the springs will always be stiff enough to
stop the mass.

so now its like this.

4000N (+) pipe , as the mass accelerates

low (-/+) force to pipe as springs reverse mass direction

4000N (+) pipe , as accelerator stops the mass.

repeat , each cycle adds acceleration to the pipe.

the magnatude of the (+) pipe velocity will prevent
the low (-) forces from stopping the pipe , the low
(-) forces will slow the pipe , however by directing
the brunt of the (-) forces outwards the (+) forces will
always win a battle between the forces.

may the force be with you.
live long and prosper.

fascinating!
