To improve your reaction time ,try dropping a ruler and catching it
It doesn't measure the exact reaction time. Just the average.
just drop the ruler
it means you have to drive to the moon in order to get the goat, when the ruler is dropped then it doesn't have to go there. I have a nokia and i go to the sun when im bored, however the advatnages include the hat that he was wearing and i didnt even know why?

Have one person hold a ruler at one end dangling down. Have the test subject place their fingers around but not touching the very bottom of the ruler. Without warning the first person releases the ruler to fall. Visually the test subject sees the falling ruler and attempts to grab it as soon as they see it drop. Measure the distance of travel on the ruler. Some simple calculations (gravity, acceleration, etc.) will give you the reactio time. Multiple test attempts will increase accuracy.
Dropping the stick on the reaction is measuring how long that reaction can go.
Advantages: This test is suitable for all athletes and is quick and easy to test. Also it requires little equipment. Disadvantages: It does not measure the exact reaction time it just measures the average.
One type of drop testing is conducted in the electrical and industrial trades. It is used to determine the voltage drop across a resistor. It appears to work best on higher amperage circuits according to engine-light-help website.
An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs energy. Such reactions usually produce a temperature drop.
Hold the ruler at head level with your arm stretched out. Make sure the ruler is vertical.
