A few things here Paul.
Observation leads to theory. Experiment test theory. So what are the observations and the theory that this experiment is meant to explore? Will these results be meaningful to re-enactors?
The key point I'm aiming at here is that re-enactors are volunteers, not paid test subjects. In order to have them make the effort to perform a test you must convince them of the value of doing so, or at least pique their interest in what the results mean. In a way, they are both the proposal review committee and test subjects rolled all into one package.
So, in this case, what's in it for me?
Have fun!
