Since they say it can be adjusted for any range of forces I wonder if it could be used as a gravity sensor. Or as a seismometer to detect earth movements, nearby vehicles, even people walking. With a few of them it would be possible to locate all the things causing vibration in a large area. The US Army fields arrays of sensors to do things like this:

They can even tell what is causing the vibration from the pattern of it. Very hard to hide any movement from a system like this. I wonder if these are being used in Ukraine.
- pizza 4y agoI was thinking of exactly the same thing. Using F = (G)(m1)(m2)(r^-2) m2 = 70 kg (a person, let's say) m1 = 0.016 kg (weight of a DVD) r = 10 cm You get 7.48 nano-Newtons..so a decent bit above the minimum resolution, supposedly.. hmmmm so it may not exactly be outside of the realm of imagination.. maybe with a couple of these things..? Wow!
