    Hi @mrmhead,

    Hi dear colleague,

    Welcome to our team! It would be a real pleasure for us to work together with you!

    Congratulations for your invention of the really excellent term “X-Factor function”! Sounds very good!

    Yes, you grasped perfectly and entirely the essence of the zigzag concept! My respect to your qualification and expertise in mechanics!

    Yes, you are absolutely right that the so called “X factor” depends on many parameters like initial velocity Va”’= V1, Ma, Mb, number of the zigzags, shape of the zigzags, force of friction Ffr inside the zigzag channels (where Ffr varies from, let’s say, 1 N to 0.00000001 N (and to even smaller values) for example), etc. (Did I miss something?)

    Do you have any idea for how to build this X-Factor function in a simpler and easier manner? And after that to vary with these parameters as you suggest?

    Looking forward to your answer.
