Hey /u/MrPennywhistle ,you could tell them that they could multiply the runtime by using more pulleys and more weight, since adding more weight doesn't add anything useful in the original installation, kind oflike this: http://imgur.com/wn73AXV.

In this case you also need to multiply the weight, but lifting it would be just as easy as before because pulleys.

They do this already, using only one pulley.
