double check that math - olympic pool is 50x25x2 meters, or 2500m3. 1 m3 of water is roughly 1 metric ton (1 g/cc = 1 kg/L = 1 t/m3) depending on temperature and such. 57000000g / 5.9 g/cc = 9661017 cc = 9.661m3

I see, yes controlling at 2 Hz will not be easy no matter how you slice it. What's preventing you from doing more? At one point I experimented with mine. I think below 5 Hz things got choppy. Greater than 10 didn't do a whole lot.

Incredible work. Crazy that this could be done by a single person. Stick it on a rotating pedestal and you've got a planar radar detector. Add some tilt and then it's not much different than aircraft/weather radar I suppose.
