<VV> Fan Belt Physics

[jimster1]

If I interpret my instruction manual correctly.  The data rate stays the
same regardless of the frame rate.  As the frames per second rate goes up,
the resolution comes down.  They list the duration per gig as being the same
be it 300, 600 or 1200 FPS.  The resolution changes commensurately.

A couple thoughts - first, there is probably a slower frame rate that will
work ok.  Some test runs would make clear just how many frames you need.  To
get a good clip I don't think you actually need the belt to flip, you just
need it stressed, that would provide some useful information by itself.
Generally the belt comes off during a shift, so I'd say if you put the car
on a chassis dyno and did a couple redline full throttle 1 - 2 shifts, that
would be a good start.
