THE ELECTRONIC HOME; HELP IN KEEPING TRACK OF SKI ACHIEVEMENTS
By WILLIAM GREER
CERTAIN skiers like to brag that they logged billions of miles on their weekend ski trips and hit warp speed at least once during each run. Why believe them? Demand proof. Ask to see what their Ski-Dometer said.
John F. Cameron, a thermoengineer who works in Silicon Valley, Calif., producing the machines that make computer chips, has patented a design for a device that acts as a speedometer and odometer for alpine and cross-country skiers. His Ski-Dometer, a palm-size plastic device, sits on the tail of a ski. An attached wheel, which is the size of a quarter, hangs off the tail and turns as it drags through the snow.
The Ski-Dometer uses an eight-bit microprocessor - the size used in laser-tag games and many office machines - to record the top speed, average speed, distance and elapsed time. It is powered by three hearing-aid batteries the size of aspirin tablets and has a liquid crystal display.
The device can be mounted on the ski with an adhesive or two screws. It operates in both miles per hour and kilometers per hour and can, at least theoretically, record speeds of up to 124 miles per hour.
''I must admit, I've never gone over 60 myself,'' Mr. Cameron said. ''And I try not to advocate skiing that fast.''
Mr. Cameron said he has compared the accuracy of the Ski-Dometer with that of a police radar gun and found it has a 2 percent error margin. If the speedometer says the skier traveled 60 miles per hour, the speed could vary between 58.8 m.p.h. and 61.2 m.p.h.
The Ski-Dometer can be purchased through several catalogues, including Hammacher Schlemmer, which sells it for $64.50. It sells for $39.99 at Eddie Bauer in Stamford, Conn. It can be ordered directly from Cameron Designs at 543 Howard Street in San Francisco, Calif. 94105. The maker's suggested retail price is $59.95.
