Need someone good at math

[Russ79]

Anyone ever made their own cones for 55 gallon barrel feeders? I figure someone that is better at math than I am could figure out how to lay this out on paper to make a template. I have a buddy who's wife is the head of the math department at Nacogdoches High with her masters and I figure she could help me but they are at Galveston for spring break.

I've calculated it long hand but ^^^^^is easier on my brain^^^^^

I cut a circle roughly 5 inches larger than the barrel split it to the center and formed the funnel then screwed it together it was fairly easy. I used a large piece of flat 26 gauge galvalume.

Unless you just have to DIY it, go blow 25 bucks or less on one.

I don't even mess with cones anymore. I buy one of the small down spouts from Buccee's for $5, screw it to the bottom, and stick an eliminator spinner/timer on there and call it good. The little bit of corn that does get behind isn't that big of a deal to me, and I usually keep corn in the feeders anyways. And without a cone, the feeder can hold another 30 lbs or so.

Here is a link to a type of downspout from All Seasons.

Dont have my contacts in and thought math said "meth". I was thinking this site went downhill overnight.

Large radius(LR) - small radius(SR)= Rise (A)
Hight = B
A2 +B2 = Run (C2)
Run ÷ Rise= Rate of Rise (RoR)
RoR × LR = Large Diameter arc( ???? )
RoR × SR = Small Diameter arc( ???? )
360 ÷ RoR = Number of Degs in Arc.

????? Might be Radius of Arc.

When I get home tonight I'll try to remember to snap a pic with dimensions of the one I have laying in the yard.
