Salve John!
I don't know if operating this machine at 'full' power is such a good thing, we will not be doing this other than for our tests. Yes, it's true that the Roman army did but they had artillery specialists at hand to repair any damage. Personally I see operating this machine at full power being an unnecessary risk to both the public and the operators.
We will be pushing our machine to it's limits in May (at our own risk) and we may well have a failure of one or more of it's elements, but we will be taking full precautions to ensure safety of the operators (no public will be present). Len will be on hand to repair any failures as a result of our cavalier use of the machine but the data collected should be worth the risk.
