Now, let's analyze the engineering here;
6 men x 180 lbs. = 1080 lbs. static force. Jumping up and down will create a 3 times dynamic effect = 3240 lbs./jump = 1.6 ton thumps. If the pile is
tapered to 2 in x 2 in, cross section at the tip = 4 in2. So, dynamic pressure/thump at pile tip = 3240/4 = 800 psi. "Add a man" feature will
increase to 950 psi, so buy the option! Increase the chant and dynamic force goes up to 5 times to bring max pressure/thump to 1600 psi for a 7 man
team.
This is pretty ingenious and will penetrate hard clay and sandy soil but not hard rock!
