Create a circuit with bright red LEDs that would attached
to the front and back of a motorcycle helmet that would
flash for x period of time when the operator moved their
head left to right, like saying NO, NO to a car about
ready to pull out in front on you....
Thanks!
Why don't you hook up a high-powered PA system, put a microphone in your
helmet, and just yell out "NO, NO!"
You're welcome, in advance.

Sorry, have quite a bit of backing, read $$$, for this project and
was hoping to have some answers that would not be high
school quality, well I will keep looking for a electronics guy that
can do a project like this. |

Gimmicks like this have a nasty habit of becoming compulsory adding to the
riders costs.
The better solution has always been rider education - to look where they're
going because car drivers can't be arsed! |

why don't you just mount a button above or below the horn and wire it? It
would be a LOT simpler to implement. Actually you could make it activate
all the lights on the bike PLUS your helmet in a freaky light show. Maybe
the horn too. |

Well, you asked, "How would you..."
What I'd do is put a steady red LED on the back, and a steady
amber or yellow LED on the front, and just shake my head when
I wanted to draw attention - the movement will attract the eye
of the viewer.
But there's a caveat - if you're thinking of using it like a
turn signel, it will be backwards - i.e., when you're looking
to the right, the LED will be on the left, viewed from the back.
So maybe it's not that great an idea after all. Sigh. I've been
thinking about how to mount some LEDs on my bicycle, but I
wouldn't want them to blink or flash - that's too much like
"emergency". =:-O
Have Fun!

And they look real cool spinning around even when they run out of ammo!
But I've found that the recoil really slows me down.
You just need to put it on a truck:

But it would be interesting to know how many pounds of thrust it develops.
Anybody remember "Terminator II" or "Predator"? They had guys holding
those things in their hands. I find that exceedingly implausible, even
for Ah-nold. ;-)
Cheers!

It's fascinating what shows up in the "Other selections" part:

First, those are not hardware diagnostics. Those are Windows
diagnostics. It is an HP. That means the computer manufacturer was
more responsible - provided a comprehensive hardware diagnostics that
give numbers and detailed messages. If you don't post those numbers
and messages, then the few who can actually answer you question will
not post.
Only one disk drive computer controlled both drives. If either
drive is defective, then the one computer will report a failure. Is
the defect in drive two but you keep replacing drive one (because
drive one controls drive two)?
Second reason for failure are completely and always defective power
supply voltages. Completely defective power supply will boot a
computer. Then strange things happen once every month. Does that
sound like your computer? Sound means nothing. Again, you need
numbers. Voltage measurements are the only way to identify that
reason for a failure.
Heat is not a problem. Your computer must be in love when the room
is 100 degrees F. A computer that is failing in a 70 degree room does
not have a heat problem. It has a hardware problem. How to find a
completely defective machine? Operate it even in a 100 degree room.
If it fails, a hardware problem probably exists - another reason why
more responsible computer manufacturers provide comprehensive hardware
diagnostics.
Now, step back. Is your problem with hardware or software? Windows
does little to find hardware failures. Windows works around hardware
failures - does everything it can to ignore those problems. However
Windows also has system (event) logs so that months after a problem
occurs, then a hardware guy can identify the problem. What (exactly
letter by letter) does each failure message in those logs say? |

Those electric powered "gatling guns" do perfectly adequate damage to a car
without the blowback of shrapnel that a HE missile produces.
Both are kind of HEAVY for riding around. |

Agreed. And i have been riding daily for about 30 years. |

One of the Arab states that had a war with Israel had nifty little Russian
supplied anti-tank missile that was carried by infantry in a rucksack. |
