Three-Axis Hockey Puck Accelerometer Data Logger by Ron Newton
The Hockey Puck Accelerometer is a compact digital g-force recorder. This low cost and highly accurate measuring instrument can be used in any number of ways. Here are just a few of the ways you can put this tiny recorder to work:
- Find out if your packages are being handled with care (or not!) by your shipping company.
- See if your crated animals are being well treated on airplane flights.
- Discover if the roadies are putting undue stresses on your musical instruments while on tour.
- See how many G's are being applied to the groceries in the trunk of your car.
- Tie it to the end of a string and see how many G's you can generate swinging it by hand.
The Hockey Puck Accelerometer is a fun and useful gadget for research, experimentation, and science projects. Order yours today!
