It sounds like he's done a lot of scientific analysis of the forces involved, so it's going to take somebody with more expertise than I to say he's going in the wrong direction. I'm thinking that even if his design runs contrary to the one proven by the manufacturer as being tried and true, theoretically it's possible other designs may work also, but given what's at stake it should be thoroughly analyzed from a scientific and engineering standpoint before implementing. It sounds like Jonas is doing that. He's not necessarily right (but hopefully he is), but I'd be interested in hearing some science and formulas behind why his ideas won't work. Also I guess from a spectator point of view, it will be interesting to see his ideas put to the field test he's about to do.
