I came up with this idea after bought 1/2 an hour hehe. I'm not sure if it would work.
the red part spins and it actually a circle and spuins around the purple dot. it's hole lets 1 ball drop at a time and the timing would be worked out to work correctly and maybe get good Bps not sure
the blue is a sepperater and there is only room for 1 ball at a time letting the red part drop one at a time
The green parts are rods that are angled to speed the ball movement and then it will drop through the rods when it is open enough.
This would only work on a verticle feed though
Can't see image. Please change image to jpeg by making the tag

theres already a hopper like that, call the EVLution, but yours is a little diffrent.

The eVLution works almost exactly like that. There are two problems with the design:
1) a positive pressure feeder like that tends to break balls. You can see how BE is dealing with that in WarPig's eVLution II preview.
2) those metal rods will slow the ball down, not speed it up. Just a regular drop (or roll) would be faster than moving a ball with friction like that. There's a reason there aren't any hoppers incorporating that idea. :)

i agree with blackmage, i cant see what is going on:confused: :confused:
I'm having trouble understanding with that damn picture. So I'm making a guess.
Ok, so there is a circle, like a little bowl or wheel or something. 4 different chambers. Each can hold 1 paintball. It spins around, and pushes the paintball down a tube with metal bars to hopefuly speed up the process.
If that's so, then you're too late. Both eVLution and Halo are like that.

ok, you ever seen those hot wheel things that have a spinning belt on the track that spins and speeds the car up, well how about putting a mini one of those in a hopper. When you need to shoot like fast, detected by an laser eye this thing will switch on and speed the balls up until balls build up in the neck
just an idea what yea think?
