Measurement rudder for detecting and storing bio-mechanical parameters in sports boat - has sensors for simultaneous force and angular position measurement, integral microprocessor and display

摘要

The measurement rudder has simultaneous measurement (4, 5) of rudder force and angular position and simultaneous processing of their values by a microprocessor (6) integrated into the rudder. The derived rudder parameters are displayed. The rudder force is measured contactlessly by measuring the path difference between the free end of a flexurally stiff, unloaded cantilever arm attached at the other end inside the rudder arm and the rudder arm wall at the cantilever arm end position. ADVANTAGE - Technically improved compared to and simpler than conventional ones which cannot perform rudder efficiency measurements operationally or determine biomechanical parameters.
