Design Blueprint: Well Windlass, Drum Sized for Rope Layers

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24115449): A well windlass whose drum diameter is chosen with the source paper's layer arithmetic, so the true effort of raising a full bucket stays within one operator's capacity as rope layers build up. Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.

Abstract

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24115449): A well windlass whose drum diameter is chosen with the source paper's layer arithmetic, so the true effort of raising a full bucket stays within one operator's capacity as rope layers build up. Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
