The scientific information we gathered using the thermal heat camera lead to more experiments: What happens if you heat a stretched band, one that already cooled down to room temperature?

It regains the power it lost during the cooldown phase. That is right, this video has the proof.

Now The Slingshot Channel has to use this critical information in order to build a slingshot crossbow that can heat the stretched rubber with the flick of a switch. The result looks bizarre and very uncenventional, but it does work very well.

Three heating films heat up the interior of an encapsulated band box. Using a strong 3300 mAh rechargeable battery, the bands can make the bands about 20 centigrade warmer than the environment, adding (or better, regaining) about 40% energy.

This weapon can be left cocked for a long time, and then – minutes before action is expected – be brought to top performance.

Two new slingshots are also presented as a bonus.
