Google Earth Flying Bicycle Doesn’t Include Basket, E.T.

Elliott - wannabe Mike Kay has cable his muckle bike to Google Earth ’s flight of steps simulator mode to travel all around the world while he exercises . He used a Sun Microsystem SunSPOT , a Java - programmable wireless sensor equipped with an accelerometer and a cant of pins to link up it to the other controls . The organisation is unsubdivided , and it works perfectly , as you could see in the video .

Mike place the SunSPOT on the base of the handlebar , then connected it to the other sensors . On the top , next to the handles , you may see two sticks connected to potentiometer , which are used to control the bike ’s aileron . If you sprain the handlebar leave behind or correct , you sham the rudder control . When you move it back and forth , it simulates how the duet puzzle out , pitching the bicycle down or — if men in fateful with guns seem — up and away . For accelerator pedal , there ’s a photosensor on the mountain bike ’s back wheel , which can feel the rotation speed .

All this information gets transmitted to the SunSPOT , which has a custom Java program that talks to Google Earth on your computing machine , allowing you to fly across the sky looking for UFO landing sites . [ Google Earth Blog ]
