iPhone PocketDyno Demo

I was overwhelmed by the functionality of the PocketDyno app. It uses the iPhone's accelerometer data for calculating current speed, acceleration, covered distance and much more while accelerating your car. There are two versions of PocketDyno available.

lol if u look at the first run it has 206 hp...the 2nd run is 328??? lol! nice..ahaha

[gerv8]

@cblt2007 yes :) that's because the power output is calculated by the weight of the car including passengers. I entered this value totally wrong before the first run. Second run was correct...

@gerv8 328whp and a 0-60 of 7.3... fail? I'll try the app out sometime this week

[gerv8]

@TheSaltySea yeah the video was recorded in december... was quite slippery

It is acctualy supprisingly accurate..

I did a short 120kph (indicated by the spedo) run and it registered 119.6

It makes the OCCATIONAL mistake, but in general its fantastic :)

I just tried mine and gave me a lot of crazy numbers... said I had 810 whp in my chevelle but 0-60 was over 9 secs and quarter mile was over 16 secs! of course i didnt go when it said green but i know this cars not pumping 810 whp anyway even if it has a 454 in it lol also said i was going 136.99 mph in 1/8 but 93 at 1/4

Ya, my brother got 296whp on his C1500 P/U. There is no wasy in hell that it got that

I use it at the drag strip all the time, it's usually accurate within tenths of a second. And it even has a picture of your time slip that looks identicle to a real slip.

As far as running across your living room, do some research on how an accelerometer works or if that's too hard for u read and follow the instuctions
