> With such noise generating things on your bike you'd be<br>> excluded from the TDF anyway :-)<br><br>Yeah, I heard you couldn't enter without a cocaine dependency <br>either - Jon, do you have a habit?<br><br>> Of course you can find acceleration from the rate of change<br>> of cadence plus gear ratio etc. And according to Newton,<br>> F = ma and we know m. But that assumes that it is the force<br>> on the pedals that causes the acceleration, which is not<br>> always the case. And the roar of a motor is very dependent<br>> on the work it has to do.<br><br>Chasing away from lights in the city is a pretty close thing. This<br>was a fun project proposal, now it needs pulse detectors, some<br>accelerometers, pressure guages, a small computer, gps, 2 separate<br>lead acid accumultators to take care of the Omron X5MF 24V (one in <br>each pannier assumably), a speaker set in a rucksack and a wind vane <br>on a 10 meter pole. <br>Man, I would start suggesting that a better method would be to strap <br>a 2-stroke to his back and mic it up - I am sure LAU could advise on <br>optimal positioning. <br><br>Now if he does go for strapping the motor on his back then<br>the Omron could also be placed in a small tank mounted on the<br>crossbar (that will keep them dry and could also house the mic<br>pre-amps), he could chrome up his front forks, get a full face visor<br>crashhelmet on and splash out on a set of leathers. Anybody on <br>the list know of a few tattoo artists to boot? Oh, and now he will<br>need those TDF steroids to even get the whole lot moving in the<br>first place - is Lance on the list?<br><br>Many thanks for the extra little bit of selfpublicity, that will <br>certainly help me sleep better.<br><br>Regards, nick.<br> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. <a href='https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body>
