spubar44 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 this is some kind of weird video trick or something http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyisg9-Mwjw Quote
Eric Hunt Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 The shutter speed of the camera is strobing the blades. An older camera with slower shutter speeds would make it look normal. Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Did you ever watch a western movie, in which the stagecoach wheels stop, then turn backwards, then forward again? Same thing, it's just a matter of shutter speed vs rotation speed. The helicopter's rotor is much more constant than the stagecoach wheels, though. Quote
spubar44 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 eric, I can never seem to read your posts, since your avitar is always pulling my eyes in. Woo, i'm ready for a cigarette. Quote
Sparker Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) no, this is a russian helicopter that can hover using its exhaust gases; the same way a harrier does -CMA212 :lol: :lol: edit: wow, all of the comments on that video are priceless! Edited September 12, 2009 by Sparker Quote
Karl Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Looks like the camera was synchronized with the rotor on purpose. http://www.wimp.com/impossiblehelicopter/ Karl Quote
