I finally got around to viewing the drop test video, and noted the
roll axis twist the vehice took on at rebound. It appears that the
wire rope bundles deflect sideways a bit when they are compressed, and
arranged in a circle like that they induce a torque. Perhaps if you
turn them 90 degrees they would simply do a radial scrub, with no
torque... I doubt if you can get wire ropes with the opposite handed
twist and use two of each to cancel, though.
As for the preheat bang, I wonder if a small orifice solenoid could be
used for a tiny trickle flow... but that might exhibit bad channeling
and not preheat the entire bed well. I dunno.
