I'm sure I've seen wheels on cars that appear to be moving backwards. Are my eyes defective? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...17/ai_18471030 I guess I'm not the only one. |

In a previous article, "Yes - I have a name" said:
I'm sure I've seen wheels on cars that appear to be moving backwards. Are my eyes defective? That's due to something else strobing the light, such as the reflection off other wheels or off the lugnuts. It's also reported that a steady vibration of your eyes can cause the effect, such as when humming (or probably while sitting in a noisy airplane). http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...17/ai_18471030 The discrete vision theory has been discredited.

It's highly relevant in aviation, where exposure to flickering lights is essentially unknown. A new appearance of Non Sequitur Kid. The original statement was that it -ONLY- happens in movies and video, and that absolute statement is false as are most of MX's absolute statements. The original assertion was that it was an artifact of human vision, which is never true. The Revisionist appears to pull MX's butt from the fire and fails. You do know this stuff is archived and it is trivial to show you are lying? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Yet he fails to state that at any given moment there are thousands of phonographs in use. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Do you frequently operate your airplane indoors? Propellers are usually observed in natural light, which does not flicker. At night, on the rare occasions where you actually see the props clearly, it is from the aircraft's own lighting, which is DC. I have nbever seen the props turning backwards on a real plane - see it frequently in movies though. . . Night, near one of those big off-amber ramp lights, run the RPM up and down, there's a range where it will look like it's going backwards. I thought it was kind of interesting. It's something similar to the poor-man's "is my RPM somewhat right" test, it'll appear stopped at (I forget what RPM now) RPM and if your tach is somewhat near, viola.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Been a long, long time but my rusty math skills says it would be about 3600 unless I am wrong (per wife that is my normal state). That is the 1/2 harmonic of the rpm/flicker rate. 60 X 120 = 7200. The phenomenon should appear at 1/2, 1/4, double rate etc intervals. Harry K- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - After thinking that over... It gets worse. There will be multiple rpm that will show the effect under strobe conditions. With a 2 blade prop it can be sychronizing every 1/2 rev. 3-blade prop every 1/3 or 2/3 rev, etc. in addition to synching on the harmonics. Harry K |
