Hi again folks,
I'm back to "when in need, ask the cove."
I put this in the FDA group for lack of a better place and because this is for a medical device. Moderators: feel free to move it to a more appropriate location if there is one.
The best way I can describe what I need is through an analogy. Remember the old suction-cup-tipped dart guns? You would push a dart into the barrel compressing a spring until the trigger latch mechanism was engage. Pulling the trigger would release the latch and the spring would launch the dart at the target.
We are developing a device that would, essentially, not release the dart - only push it out maybe 3 - 6mm. Can anyone offer any advice on how we could measure the force (Newtons) generated?
