    @REW why not try to add a new hand in the opposite position? If the rotating system is perfectly balanced, acceleration won't make any effect

    @REW I tried rotating your design 90 degrees, to maybe change how gravity effected it, but it didn't help much. At first it seemed to, but with further testing, it seemed to be about the same, but less accurate. Then again, a real life speedo does some weird things when your cars wheels leave the ground, so maybe this is kind of realistic?

    @REW try redusing weight to all mowing parts, like to 0.00000000001. Setting to 0 seems to do nothing

    @F104Deathtrap @Bill0411 @vonhubert This thing doesnt work when the car bumping.I have no idea how to solve it.

    @vonhubert Plus, this speedo would only work at a specified altitude. Back to the drawing board.

    @REW I used it and my car flipped (I am a horrible driver) and the thing went crazy like in the negatives and I also went up a hill and the speed stayed at zero...

    @MrSilverWolf judging how it works - it will surely work on a plane. Lets whait for REW to increase the numbers)

    @aircraftarsenal123 i thought, but decided it wont be accurate overall and will be really difficult to tune... well, never try - never know)

    @F104Deathtrap thats what i thought about. But we still need an altimeter...

    HOLY CRAP. With a speedo this accurate, we may be able to make a bombsight that actually works!

    Wow, this is actually really impressive! Never thought about using the downforce of wings for this

    How do you work this? Or is it a joke that it works?

    Cool! Only thing is that the speed and meter angle are not inversely proportional to each other
