Kloosh Block
This project led to me brokering a joint research project between Cirque Du Soleil and Harvard School of Engineering.
I designed these for my rig on the advice of Barry Griffin. These are the blocks we use for 1/8" Cortland Cable Plasma cordage. Tait Towers filled in the details and built them. They are practical, and work really well. Looks simple but the material, finish, and dimensions are very specific.
I use Plasma to reduce reciprocating mass on artist safety longes.

Made for flying performers!
XLT4 Stage black 1/4", in inventory! -- I worked hard with Richard Humiston and Bamdad Pourladian of Wireco World Group to bring to market a near-zero torque wire approved for high-speed single-point human lifts. More stable and stonger than any other wire rope available, it has no real competitors for acrobatic/FX applications.
This was one of the best pieces of legwork I ever did for an employer, an important safety advance for Cirque Du Soleil, and I am *really* proud of the work I did on this project.
