I had a question for the community-

One of my students is doing a science fair project in which he would like to mimic the helmet testing done by the Snell Foundation. The test which he'd like to demo is the internal accelerations tests, using an accelerometer inside the helmet during several levels of impact. The problem is, the threshold for Snell allows for up to 300g peak instantaneous accelerations. I do not have any info on time weighted averaging, only peak numbers.

Does anyone have an accelerometer that is capable of reading and logging data in that range, and would be willing to rent/loan it for educational purposes? We're trying to find out if there's even a possibility of persuing this, while there is still time for him to change course if necessary.

I do know that the newest iphone/ipod top out at 8g. I may have access to an older logging device, the Gcube (if my most wonderful friend will let me borrow it), but haven't been able to find any information on range of measurement for that device...

We are in SE PA (the student lives in Shillington, PA near Reading)...

Can anyone assist?

Thanks!!!

Can anyone help?
