Well, like I said much earlier, I have a thesis to write. This is a side project of an idea that I had, and has also been verified by a 'bearing' PhD. So YOU can call BS all you'd like, because in my spare time this project will be finished and implemented on my car.

Of course theres no data or testing happening this second, other than playing with the sensors that I plan to use, which also hasn't happened yet....When you're getting paid to get a PhD, you do the PhD work as much as you can.

Maybe in a few months I will have a POC. Then interested people can buy the IP and supply all you haters with my solution. :troll:

Young man - no one is saying you are not bright or even brilliant and may come up with a great solution...but you could learn a lot from the presentation style of smart people like Feelyx and the generosity of folks like Jake. I work with a lot of bright young people and I find their only weakness is they don't realize how important real life experience is. I try to find their strengths and nurture them along. You sir have a large ego that may make you a lot of money some day but certainly it won't make for easy conversation.

You would have received full acceptance by everyone had you not gone on the attack. There is a big difference between saying something is crap science and saying you believe it may not have been done correctly. See the key word there is 'believe'.

I already feel bad because this is the harshest I have ever been toward anybody after 1000+ posts. Carry on. We look forward to your results.

Vibration Analysis (in-angle sensor) is the only other known resource for such project but already phased out mate. Not effective. Those frequencies (or velocity decibel) of a bad bearing for instance will only occur during its later stage e.g. just before failure. Rather useless in the industry - unless triggering a kill-switch like prototyped F1 motors.

Real-time oil chemistry and property analysis is winning by far - at least it provides historical data of any sort of failures. Problem is the price of the system for an everyday end user!

We are not haters buddy I reassure you (lol), we are skeptical that's all

Thats why academia is a great place to be when trying to devise a new system

I assume you're talking about vibration monitoring?

Whatever you call it, it remains useless. The wave spectrum of the vibrations in the cold Montreal Boxster will always be different from a hot Florida spirit driven Boxster. Useless, garbage technology.

Great in a 'static' environment however. Same engine, same oil, same parts, ambient temp.... saved many R&D staffers from 17,000RPM thin-walled block explosions... other than that. Dunno what it could be used for.

Heard the latest McLaren knock sensor had a 700+ page datasheet. Monitoring is the last phase of any implementations. The embedded algorithm those sensors have today is pretty intense - they can also do real-time analysis/perform smart ops. Problem is nobody can apply those in a dynamic environment without them costing millions of dosh anyway Useless.
