4 sensors would give you the coordinates to the sub-mm in any position. Then map that to the car so it could be displayed on the console with a nice graphic design, dodgy part & product part number to make life easier.

Ian, I work in the aviation industry (at least I did for 50 odd years)! A set of sensors permanently mounted & either reporting to a central control or plug in option would up the cost of the vehicle by who knows what (going on aviation prices)

There are enough idiots like myself trying to self destruct our car on outback corrugated roads! One destroyed tire, then bought TPMS in Broome. Snapped roof rack bolt which I replaced in Esperance WA, when I finally worked out what had actually broken as I could not detect the problem while stationary. Hanging out window while on the move & other half steering the car over corrugated roads! While the car was stationary I could not get any sound from the car no matter how hard I pushed on the roof rack. I do admit that there was up to 110 kg on the roof, 35 kg over capacity at times, but was always conscious of the issue as I do want to keep the car for the long term.

It would be quite handy to have up to this capacity for the outback!

Leaving the joking aside, I am curious... Why do you say that? |

Say what alex, it's a fact, with main rotor heads spinning at 400/500 rpm & tail rotors spinning at 2000/3000 rpm, we spend a lot of time getting the balance as low as possible to stop them self destructing. An out of balance rotor system can soon lead to component failure, which we certainly don't want. On most of the machines we try to get a balance figure of less than .2 IPS (inches per second). It's quite a complex process & can be very time consuming, even with modern digital equipment. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto.

If only it were that simple alex, every man & his dog would be able to do it.

In a previous life I supplied aluminium to a company who made centrifugal machines for medical testing.

In a past life I had to collect a senior naval officer's teenage daughter by helicopter to take her to an event. I sat her in the right hand seat with strict instructions not to touch the cyclic (central control column). We were a bit late in arriving on site and her father knowing full well the reputation of youg men (I was young at the time) in his service was a little apprehensive and asked his daughter if she had a good flight and she answered "We flew over all the trees and houses and I had this great big thing between my legs".
