That makes sens, Thanks Kenny for this interesting view.

Not the mooring lines of the zeppelin, but the knot used to weave the net covering the earlier models to hold the pod under the gazeous body.

If the rope run just through the crotch, it makes something like 180°, more or less a good bit. It's only an half turn and has yet to choose the path right or left to actually make CL or CCL, in the case we would put a full wrap. How I understand the issue presented by Cory, I saw that before...

Nice record on the IR cam. Just a though, is the thermal rize generated more by the surface friction between the segments of rope, or more by the internal friction between the fibers inside the rope? (the temp reached should be greater on the rope's surface in the first case or in the core in...

So, if I understand well, the bowline with the tail inside the loop is similar to the left sheetbend and should hold better than the bowline with the tail outside the loop, this last one being related to the sheetbend on the right. Right ? For the Lapp Knot, just one loose end prevents the...

Thanks to decode this mechanic Kenny. It's always nice to connect the "why" and the "how to".

Very interesting read, thanks.

Thanks to explain this point. A saying (translated) from my scuba diving days, to tie a boat : a round turn and two half hitches never let go (more literally, a dead turn and two half keys never let go).

Just to say, the Ashley's stopper knot looked too complicated to me at first. Studying closely, I found that it's actually a bowline with the working loop downsized to zero. Now I can try it without headhache.
