I agree that what I am looking at is more of a science...
One problem with the polarized light solution is that it would be nice to have data as a function of time. A little background on the experiment: this cylindrical plastic bag is being used to rapidly plug a breach in a levee. We are simulating a levee breach in a somewhat controlled...
Yes Demon, thanks. I need to look into it further, but it could be the answer. The big kicker is going to be convincing a customer that I can get legitimate numbers from this method. It had always been discussed that some kind of sensor would be put on the bags to give us data, so I am going...
Thanks btrueblood. I was thinking in my mind that they have to do something for airbags, but I didn't kow what it could be other than destrucitve testing. that is a real possibility, although I see it being the most expensive.

The bag is partially filled with water and air. The bag is in flowing water. I am trying to find out a way to measure the...
