Dan's Reply:
      I don't think so, with a little creativity this
can be done in a garage.  I'm feeling rather sporty so
I'll use the lab.  I'm taking the liberty of ordering
some accelerometers.  I'm having to order a few different
models of accelerometers because I have absolutely no
idea of what g range I'll be dealing with.  Do you
have any idea of what the g range is?  This sounds
like a job for the G-man.  I'll be happy to share my
results.

Do share your results!!!! By the way, how much does an accelerometer cost?
I suspect it's not an Ace Hardware item.
