It seems that because of the improvements made, the PIE 4.7 (with its one wheel and two weights) is comparable to the PIE 2.1 which is twice its size. Proper testing will be done in the next week or so, then we will know for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7-1200x900.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.stclairtech.tech\/grassrootsmechanicmovement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-7.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Fastened to the Bench &amp; Back to Simple Chain Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A video is posted to both the YouTube and BitChute channels giving a quick tour of the PIE 4.7 and then a demo with it firmly attached to the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disassembled\/Reassembled PIE 4.7 - Dual Actuator First Bench Test\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VV2eRKOwS3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Disassembled\/Reassembled PIE 4.7 &#8211; Dual Actuator First Bench Test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A second weight has now been put together for the PIE 4.7.
