Monorail!


No lab equipment = no move

This is a monorail drop system. It can be used to measure impact forces on all kinds of things. This type of system is used to test helmets, wall padding, wrestling mats, shin guards, and most recently, LED screens that display advertisements on the outfield wall during baseball games.

This is the piece of equipment I use most often here at Southern Impact, and if the guys at Dollamur want answers on how well our mats perform, I need one in Texas. As of Thursday, the budget for the lab still needed board approval, and once that is OK'd, we can talk to the Serge, the French Canadian about manufacturing one for us. Until then, I will reside in Knoxville.
