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