Elastic suspension

Trying to make an elastic suspension for the EMdrive, so it can be displaced enough to be measured by the laser interferometer - in case a force occurs.
I filled three cylinders with silicone and inserted a screw into each of them. I hope this will be elastic enough. The caps on top are just for holding the screws in a vertical position until the silicone gets harder, they will be removed later.

They look adequate enoegh! Good job!

Thanx. Their damping seems ok, they are not too lose. I will estimate the displacement per gramm, in case they are too stiff.
