Don't let a little math stand in your way. ;-)

Except that the size of the lifters in question are already known. If
feet and yards are a problem feel free to convert to meters. ;-)

A "few feet" is literally "3 feet". I've seen video of lifters mounted
on horizontal rotors that were about 6 inches accross that looked to
be more than 3 feet from the wall. In fact one was about an inch in
diameter and 3 inches long. But of course exact distance is
impossible to tell from a video clip. I'll have to post your theory
on one of the lifter forums and see what the response it. Heck you
may be right, I don't know.
