I think it would be easier, cheaper, and safer to throw yourself from a plane with the phone in your pocket. You'll get over a minute of freefall from most turbine aircraft.
- arethuza 16y agoYou can apparently get up to 30 seconds freefall on a big BASE jump: e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6X5tV3bGMc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6X5tV3bGMc [I knew I needed an excuse to take up BASE jumping]
- tesseract 16y agoThat can't be free fall all the way. 30 seconds of free fall on Earth would be a 4410 meter drop, but the mountain in the video is only 2147m high.
- cromulent 16y ago4410 in 30 seconds is almost 9km in a minute, or about 540km/h at a constant speed. That's quite the terminal velocity - 200km/h would be normal for a human. How are you calculating this?
- tesseract 16y agoIf you've reached terminal velocity (which I agree, a human would) you aren't in free fall any more and your accelerometer will be reading 1g.
