I wanted to know more about line tension distribution in paragliders so I designed and built a custom system of sensors that is portable and can be used in flight.
It's arduino based and it look me a long time to make as I had no previous experience in complex electronics, PCB design or programming.
It was a great experience and I already have more ideas for the future.

Engineering is everywhere and it touches everything and everybody's life, so, good to see a class A engineer do his thing. I hope it inspires lots of young people to go into that direction.
Because we don't need people that point out problems, we need people that find solutions!
Even if you don't find a technological solution, the explicit data you're collecting will, absolutely, push the sport forward. Fantastic work. If you find a way to pack a full wing's worth of sensors into this, I could see there being a market with the manufacturers so the engineers can see exactly what the test pilots feel.
Bravo!
Unless hey can simulate with with Software.
This is seriously one of the coolest builds I've ever seen
Who is as excited as me? The idea is awesome!
ME! This is SO awesome! Congrats Andre, brings so many great things together.
And meeee! It's really fascinating to see how we unconsciously get cued to upcoming turbulance and react before the turbulance hits. More data is going to be needed to prove it, but I think it's the first findings of what a potential pending collapse could look like!
The turbulance data is awesome!!! More data is going to be needed to prove it, but I think it's the first findings of what a potential pending collapse could look like! And it's so fascinating to see that with an experienced pilot, subtle cues indicate impending turbulance! It this kind of trend continues with collapses as well, then it should be easy to alert the pilot auditorily to a pending collapse situation so that they can fly themselves out of it, but more importantly, like your project is about, if no input is given, have a threshold or limit, to automatically prevent the collapse from occuring! So exciting to watch this project progress!
This is the coolest thing on the whole internet right now.
ahahah :D
@@AndreBandarra1 Makes me think, you could make a fully rigged VR paraglider simulator with actuators on the lines so you get all the feedback as if you were flying an actual wing.
When you said sensors I immediately thought "surely he has safety back ups". Exactly how I would have done it. This is amazing work.
Wow, what a project, well done with building all the hardware, software and getting it into something working displaying and recording. And thanks for sharing 👍. 👏
Hoping for more videos with this! Would be interesting to see line tensions while winching, spiral dive, entering a thermal, stalling and other maneuvers.
My thoughts exactly
I suddenly find myself questioning everything I have done with my spare time throughout my life. Bravo Andre. I look forward to seeing the progressive transformation of your data into useful information, knowledge, wisdom and ultimately action. DIKWA. Epitomized. Is this your first patent? Congratulations.
I know absolutely nothing about circuit boards or electronics but was totally mesmerised watching you building it all. The first data is already extraordinary, so do keep the rig flying. And I just thought you were just a pretty face! Congratulations
TENSEY MCTENSE FACE? im rolling. Seriously to see the circuit board and know i watched this guy start out with a simple sketch in video 1... Somebody said it before but this is the coolest thing on the internet.
Wow that´s really a great idea! Perhaps you can also use it as an additional input for the variometer?
Absolutely Brilliant! Thanks to push the sport forward!
Awesome work Andre! I loved watching the whole process. Also great job with the graphic illustrations. Everything from the scale design to the board layout and fabrication was so cool to see. The wing shaped, color coded 3d bar graph was ingenious 😁🤙
You sir are a legend!
It’s always a nice when people appreciate the little geeky details!
Awesome job, man!
One more interesting thing to build and test would be an automatic reserve parachute launching system (ballistic for instance). That would respond way quicker than thrown by a pilot and powerfully enough to some chosen direction.
I am sure you are already improving the future of paragliders!
8:34 GOOD MAN!!! Was waiting the whole time to see if you included a safety. Great work. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
What an incredible project, those data are impressive, I'm sure they are very useful to paraglider and flight simulator designers.
This is so amazing ! Thank you for documenting the project on youtube !
Wow you are very talented in what yo do! Im glad there's people like you to push this sport forward👍
man! I was trying to do exactly the same! but my roadblock where the sensors, glad you took the approach of doing them yourself! great video!!!
This is so freaking cool. Paragliding and science. You cant go wrong! 🤘stay safe stay elevated 🙏🌄
Wow....Amazing job !!!!!!
Well done .....happy to see this !!!!!!....Thanks André.....
Absolutely incredible work Andre!!!! I am super excited to see where this goes!
This is the best invention since Penicillin :D. Bravo! You are a genius Andre.
Also I can see how passionate you are about paragliding.
This is incredible work. Would be so interested to see if you can take this any further...
This is extremely cool! I think this could be useful for all manufacturers.
A good student pilot gadget would be a simple line tension unit that would speak up under certain unbalanced or low-tension conditions. This would be a very good groundhandling teacher, and an in-flight alarm for improperly executed manoevers.
Very interesting data and project. The summary in 16mins is very well done. It could have easily been a 120mins documentary for all the time and effort you put into Tensy. Very well done. Hopefully this can be used to improve safety. Thank you for your contribution towards this sport.
This is freaken awesome! And thanks for sharing the data! I'm super excited about this.
All this work/research deserves a published journal research paper. Write and submit one, Andre.
Brilliant, I am already able to guess how many different things can bring with this project. Many aspects from the wing design to training. The care of the project and quaility of the product itself also way too good for a proto. Good job!
Super cool dude, I love designing PCBs 😌
Nicely done. Clean data.
And here I thought I'd be one of only a few pilots who think this geeky stuff in paragliding is awesome.
This is amazing, great job!
Awesome Andre! It's great to see you're still working on this.
Great job, congratulations!
OUSTANDING. Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting. Nicely put together. Great job-thanks for your commitment
I'm blown away.... This is amazing.
Amazing project and results!
Absolutely brilliant! Well done for this ground breaking work in PG. :)
Incredible project!! Learning new stuff is fun, and the paragliding community is lucky to have you doing this work.
Love your work! Amazing use of tech and beautifully implemented. Congratulations.
So impressive! That’s well done.
Very inspiring - great idea and execution!
sooo good to see this happening and be a supporter of it :-)
I really love the project and wish you the best of luck with your ambitious goal! This kind of research really shows how an idea can form into something step by step and you are just the right one to do it.
Well done! That is very good research.
This is awesome. Incredible you did all that yourself
So delightful to watch such a great job and exquisite workmanship. Congratulations!
Wow... jaw dropping! Huge respect!
Thanks!
The was so satisfying to watch. Very cool project
Truly awesome. Great job!
Impressive work ! And very interesting results !
quite impressive work. I really enjoyed your video.
Great engineering! Congrats to the successful collaboration of the different people working on this. And thank you for sharing the making of and explaining all the complicated stuff so well!
Great job Mr andre
Great work man!
Amazing work Andre! This system looks very professional. Im sure this data will become invaluable in the future of the un-collapsable paraglider project.
This is one of the coolest thing's i have ever seen!
Awsome work man! I will definitely take a look to the complete document. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Appreciate the struggle and forced me to like the video and comment
Insane engineering--love it!
Brilliant idea and perfect video! I've instantly subscribed for future gems!
This is such a rad project! Can’t wait to see more data from more flights/conditions. I’d be really interested to see data from inside a thermal/various different maneuvers. Great work👍
This is remarkable!
Woooooow! Andre, I had not looked at your videos for a couple of months, and came back to a highly professional site. Congratz. But that is not the most impressive. Passion of Leonardo, insights Of Musk, and IQ of ... I really don't know, man. THIS will be I'm sure part of every benchmarking process for paragliding design. The fact that you give it to the world is highly commendable. Thanks for the geeks that keep us safe. And stellar Kudos to you, Mr. André Bandarra!!!
@Andre, Tracking the data at the malions is great, but what if you were to measure up at the wing?
I think you might find some finer detail with many more sensors, all close to the wing connections. If these were all connected to your system via Bluetooth, or similar, you could avoid having too much drag induced by long electrical connections. Eventually this type of technology "Could" be used to make self correcting Paragliders. (Useful for landing unconscious pilots, who have been overzealous with their G-Forces. ) :D There is a lot of potential for the projects you are exploring. You are a true visionary of our sport.
This is an amazing Andre, I hope manufacturers might want this kind of test data as well, as it can be amazing for their design specs, and of course, towards your uncollapsable goal. Amazing job with the end result and quality of the device(s).
Andre , i knew you were a man of many talents but this is def a WOW Video , Great workmanship and potentially a fantastic design tool in the making , well done and big up high five for great & interesting content yet again :-)
Wow - this is seriously impressive!
Great work.
brilliant!!! Measuring line tension throughout different states of flights. This is something I have been wondering but can not find the answer anywhere else. Keep up the good work!^^
I'm impressed!
Dude! Mad respect for your passion for this project!!!
I don't respect many, but you, you have my deepest!
I'm learning paragliding, more precise, PPG and TH-cam keeps popping your videos. Happy to see you are proficient with engineering, by the way, your welding technique is perfect, it shows years of practice. Alas, the first thing went through my mind when I saw your approach with the sensors is that there was an easier and safer way to do it. Instead of cutting the lines - which forces you to add a security strap, just route the lines through a simple V shaped guide formed by 3 pins on a plate. Tension in the line would deform the plate and you can measure that. With the costs saved by not cutting and reassembling the lines, maybe you could have installed sensors on all lines.
Amazing work!
Good one, thanks for all the work!
I hope you get sponsored and achieve your goal man! This ambitious project and your complex bouquet of talents are worth it! God bless!
saving lives dude ! good work
Well done! That's allot of work.
Interesting project! I hope this will be beneficial for us all one day. Keen on your next steps.
P.S. good do see someone else is still flying around with the same pg and same color
Can't wait to see what you do with this project next!
Bloody awesome!
It is quite impressive work...
Amazing project. Loving the Gulf Racing colours for the Tensy casing as well.
Really really interesting dude. Great work.
Wow, you are one clever guy. Well done Andre!
Great Project, Great data.
this is amazing!
Holy crap, this is awesome, well executed! Subbed for sure.
Wow. Lovely and game changing work Andre, you've excelled yourself(again). Thank you for this and all your output. I've always wondered how the DHV and EN tests as well as wing review statements might be normalised for the particular pilot inputs, and compared. Also how safety performance and performance vs controls envelopes could be characterised in more objectve ways . Stadradised, automated and fully Instrumented testing follows naturally from combining this and your 'pilotless' project . In an ideal world a collaborative global R&D initiative would follow. Respect!
Dude, just stumbled upon your channel. This is brilliant and you probably have a novel invention on your hands which you could patent and license. It's a fantastic idea and I encourage you to speak to a patent lawyer if you have any intention of commercialization. If not, keep on trucking! This is incredible. Subscribed.
That's awesome, thanks for the sub :)
Cant wait till this becomes a full on product... such a genius idea.
That is such a cool project! I dont fly myself, but as an electronics engineer i sat on the edge of my seat there! :)
Well done, cool documented and a hell of a nice project. Congrats!
Such an amazing project. I can’t wait to see how this keeps developing. At the very least helps us understand what happens when wings collapse!
I'm so lucky to be a beginner in the paragliding sport with inventors such as you! I dreamed of flying for decades since the very beginning Hang Gliding in the seventies. I just purchase all my gear and will start lessons soon. Keep on going on onwards and upwards!
Very good job.
