  • Would this work to measure the acceleration of a bus while on it?

  • hahaha I use HEAVY DUTY NUTS tOO! ;))

  • Do you think this would be effective for measureing the g-forces on a roller coaster.

  • It means the smallest number of gs the accelerometer can sense - eg 0.3g. Anything less than that and it wont react to the acceleration.

  • hi..

    I d like to know the meaning of the unit of sensitivity of an accelerometer.. (eg: ± 2.5g)

    pl help me out..!! thanks

  • OMFG FUCKING NERDS THESE DAYS

  • trojan000000000000, no one asked for your opinion. so you should keep your comments to yourself.

    and for your information, accelerometers are used to measure acceleration. like this particular one which is meant to be used to measure the acceleration of a roller coaster, someone running, or even driving around a curve.

    so shut up.

  • nosplen this is not an accelerometer... accelerometers are made to be used in applications such as aviation, vibration feed back sensors, tilt measurements, or even max acceleration achieaved in some applications. your design cant be used in any of these applications. plus u cant have reading if the acceleration is instantenous and not a continous insident plus the accuracy is almost below 2%. thank you nosplen. try harder. Good luck.

  • Would this be an accurate way to measure the g forces of a roller coaster for a science project?

  • use a plastic pipe or something similar if you are worried about the fragility due to the paper tube

    I think nospleen has done a great job - I am gonna do it my 7 year old kid.
