| SensePod A Collision Avoidance System for Motorcyclists Posted: 07 Apr 2012 10:00 PM PDT |
Hey guys, Jon here again. Check out this nifty little gadget I found while browsing online. SensePod is a collision avoidance system intended for motorcycles, but it can also be used for bicycles and scooters (you can affix it to anything with a non-porous surface). Its purpose is to detect cars within collision range of a motorcycle so that the user is able to make prompt decisions about the next action he or she should take in a crisis situation. Check it out.
The ultrasonic sensors work by transmitting “pings” and receiving their echoes. The software calculates the distance to the object with a simple formula. Our proprietary software excludes bad data caused by wind interference leaving you with an ultrasonic sensor that works at speeds in excess of 75 mph!

Hey, what’s going on everyone? For those of you not in the know, Ghost Rider is the name of Patrik Furstenhoff . He stars in a number of motorcycle videos on YouTube comprising of journeys through uncontrolled and unstaged roads and highways at illegal speeds.
In a brief interview after the event Patrik said he would be stopping his antics as he had his son to think of but wanted to break the record one last time.
Ghost Rider has built up a myth that seems destined to endure. There are many in the motorcycle community that believe the real Ghost Rider died in an accident in 2005, while some of Stockholm’s youth claim with conviction that he really is a ghost and can ride through walls to evade police.
Despite Ghost Rider’s reputation of being unstoppable there have been multiple incidents while making the films; every film has been affected by at least one incident not shown on the DVDs, from crashing into a car crossing the street in the first movie to being busted by cops, (although claimed by the Ghost Rider people that this is not true, there are filmclips and witnesses to these incidents and the clip of the bust can easily be found on the internet, which have been claimed by fans as police propaganda).
Whatever the case may be, let’s just hope no one gets hurt.
