All the results are similar, but the usefulness is negligible, IMO.

However, I suggest you set up a paddling ergometer which can give you

the

data you require w/o the vagaries of water and weather conditions.

On 3/2, I posted describing the paddle as a large torque wrench. I have
a background in mechanics and have used torgure wrenches. Is this what
you are mentioning for strain gauges?

Yes, your idea of using a torque wrench is essentially the same thing
that a strain guage would give. Except the strain guage would be much
more precise, and more accurate.


You say the usefulness of of the measurements are negligible, can you
expound? TnT

I too wonder what Allan meant by this comment.
