Lernaean Batting Practice Machine

"Strike 2,831!"

A batting machine designed to improve your physical endurance.

Every time you hit a ball it picks up the sound of bat on ball and decreases the time between balls by 5%, eventually ending when you miss 5 in a row or you manage to hit one back down its throat.
(This idea is part of the Home, Sweat Home project)

       Absolutely! Thank you for the laugh.   

       It's too hot and humid to sleep here. 1:42am and I have the fan on full blast beside me while I chug iced water to try to cool down. The rain has stopped, an area the size of England has become a flood disaster zone from here and points south and the rising temperature is causing humidity problems.   

       One small town about 80km (50miles) south of here got 43 inches of rain over the last 6 days.

       Why would you need to improve endurance whilst batting? Power and hand-eye coordination are more important.

       Perhaps, [UB], it would be more profitable to develop a bicycle-powered flood barrier, under the circumstances?

       Nah, the treadmill-powered gravity machine seems to have the water running away at a rate that is coping with the deluge.

       About ten years ago, playing tennis. Hurts like hell on cold mornings.

       I need one that throws the balls slower by 5% each time until I actually hit one.
