This Machine Measures Milliseconds Mechanically - Smarter Every Day 283 - Smarter Every Day 283

Thank you for supporting Smarter Every Day on Patreon!  There is no sponsor for this video. You allowed me to make this video and I'm extremely grateful.  I never thought I'd see a machine that combines all 3 interesting optical phenomena:

Rolling Shutter

Aliasing

Persistence of Vision

And it was built in the 1930s!

That was awesome!!! I follow Camerastore for a year now. They have awesome thing. The problem is: It is hard to explain my wife why I need a 8th filmcamera… 🫣

Totally captivating. Who knew tat such tech was available in the 1930s?

This made my day. I am always excited by your videos Destin. My sons got me hooked. We talk about all kinds of things and bounce ideas off each other. Then along comes your videos and we see how close or far we are to what you prove. We love the family think tank time especially when Dad/Hubby dives in too.

Awesome video! I hope you tried to visit with Hydraulic Press Channel while you were there, thats their home town!

This was way more fascinating than I expected. What a great way to solve a complex problem with 1920s tech!

As the video progressed I just kept thinking... "bring out the phantom", "bring out the phantom".. and then BOOM 20k FPS... awesome stuff!!

Ex-Kodaker here. At our camera club —- the largest in the world then. Cost us $1 per year — I learned that I could check my camera speed by photographing a TV screen. See https://petapixel.com/2011/11/30/test-the-shutter-speed-of-your-camera-using-a-tv-or-monitor/
