I got 18300 on my Powerball
Fault: The counter can sometimes generate an inaccurate or corrupt score ranging from 15,000 to 18,000rpm
Solution: Reset the counter unit (unlikely to be a new World record, Sorry!)
Detailed Explanation: The Accura digital display
supplied with your Powerball is an extremely precise counter which will
register the rotor speed accurately throughout the spin range up to an
astonishing 19,999rpm.
As with all logic based devices however, it may, on a very rare
occasion, suffer a corruption in terms of the manner in which the data
received is interpreted or processed. Unless the counter is genuinely
faulty, such a corruption may only occur once in every 1000 spins (if
at all).
Should, however, you find yourself victim of such an instance, you
may be pleasantly surprised to note on your counter display, a score
reading of, for example, 18351rpm or 17623 or, in fact, any score
within a range of 15360 right up to 18998rpm.
I would particularly highlight the score of 15360rpm as it is indeed
the most popular one we have seen resulting from this form of data
corruption and has been the cause for many a potential vapor lock or
coronary failure around the globe as the excited recipient contemplated
the massive achievement displayed before them�(before being instantly
deflated by reading this FAQ! )
So, in the event that you see a score that is above 15,000rpm on
your Powerball, have a quick click here and take a listen to what a
Powerball should sound like at 15,000rpm+ and then contemplate your
next course of action;
- Take a snap if the score immediately. You will need to use a camera
that can provide us with an image that will be at least 600 x 600
pixels in size.
- If the score is going to eventually find itself in one of the Top
10 slots on the Top 100 scoreboard then we will need you to also
provide us with a video clip of you achieving a score at least 98% or
higher of the value of the one you are presenting to us for approval.
(For example�if the score in your image was 15000rpm�then we would need
you to capture a short video clip where the counter has been zeroed and
the ball spun up to a minimum 14700rpm and where the counter display is
clearly visible with that score.)
- On receipt of these two items, we will then begin analysis of the score submission and contact you in due course.
Good luck!
