I am currently looking for a piece of equipment to use in experiments I am conducting, and need to know where I can acquire, or how I can build, this piece of equipment. Here is what I need, and what the experiment will entail...
I need a device that can measure the force applied in a quick strike of one object against another. In specifics, I will be firing arrows at a target, and need to record the peak force of the impact. So it should be able to record values created in a short time span, such as the initial impact of an arrow. And it should run on an open timeframe, meaning it will not rely on me to press a button to record the weight, as it's almost impossible to time it correctly with the strike of the arrow. Arrows puncturing the measuring surface will not be a problem, as these are special arrows with blunt foam heads, designed not to pierce anything, I just need the force of impact recorded. I have seen in movies (and I realize that this could be a totaly made up item) pads used to measure the force of impact as from a punch or kick, this would probobly be ideal.
Do you know where or how I could acquire such an item? I am willing to spend up to 300 to 400 US Dollars on acquiring it, perhaps more. So please feel free to include items of this type that are in a high price range, as I do not feel too inhibited by cost. Though it is always nice to get a deal,
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to any and all information you can give me on this subject,
