Crazy Wind Turbine

[eejay30]

seriously. NOT A WIND TURBINE!! its a pinwheel

[croncong]

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always This was filmed with my phone camera that couldn't seem to keep up with speed of the blades

[fitnesus]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You The blades are actually straight and spinning reall fast. The result is some kind of optical illusion.

[lupabuatchannel]

I Really Like The Video From Your This was filmed with my phone camera that couldn't seem to keep up with speed of the blades.

[cenedywong]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing This was filmed with my phone camera that couldn't seem to keep up with speed of the blades

[DrifterToo]

It's not an illusion and it's not called stroboscopic. It's caused by Apple cheaping out on the camera on it's stupidly expensive iphone.

That camera is only good for taking still photos of still objects.

[TheRantingCabbie]

The term used for this illusion on the rotor blades is called stroboscopic. Search for some videos using that word. Aircraft propellers look weirder.

[mysibratus]

This "optical illusion" is a effect of rolling shutter in your camera. Its common see in fast moving object.

[222thepunisher]

im looking at a wind turbine "through a motha fuckin fish eye lense!"

[gymkhanadog]

That's called "rolling shutter". Most cheap camera sensors use it these days unfortunately.

[Mattman4698]

@gymkhanadog It's not just the cheap ones, though they do it worse. It happens on all CMOS imaging chips. Not on CCD chips though. It has to do with how the images are captured.

[bhelpurii]

you need an anti aliasing filter

[MegaJohnCom]

dude...i think you need to fix your windmill.....

[64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5]

it´s the rolling shutter effect...

[komaki119]

looks strange, VAWT are the way forward people

[BrianLuper]

Oh that's really bizzare! Those blades look like they are bending as they rotate due to the camera shutter speed. Yep, I would balance them suckers. Add mass to the BASE of the blades that are lightest (Near the hub - NOT THE TIPS!!). Good luck!!!

[adcomamps]

creapy blads

[harrier331]

why are there sycle's on that wind turbine:)

[jhurst111]

dude what did you do to your camera?

[derman077]

I wonder what blades that are actually that shape would look like. Also if they would function.

[DragonFlyback256]

@anorak2

It's CMOS, not CCD. CCD does store image information prior readout.

[AnotherGlenn]

The windmill has revealed limitations in the performance of CCD cameras.

[DragonFlyback256]

@AnotherGlenn

It's not even a CCD camera. It's called CMOS; it does not store image information like CCD does, hence the geometric distortion.

bezmozgi zawsze cos wymysla bez sensu,wszustko mozna zrobic w jednym celu i jeden pomysl od drugiego moze byc rozny tj jak kura od jaja!

[tylicka]

ale wykurwisty wiatrak. powiedz no jak go zrobiles chopie ? tylko na milosc boska po angielsku nie chce mi sie czytać to napisz po espaniol.

[folred]

someone stands under it lol *slice*

[anthony9thompson]

Although initially promising, the much touted "marshmallow turbine" faded into obscurity

[jonmarsh2009]

I have the same illusion, I think it is because of the frames per second of the video almost coincides with the spinning of the blades so it appears they are spinning slow but in actuallity they are going about 300+ rpm

[JamboyStu]

Odd design. It's good to see people trying different things.

Thx for the up.

[ratheads]

JEEZ, read the description, it is not odd at all !

[PukkPukk]

Balance? That thing would rip to shreds in a steady breeze.

[bonza85]

Wrong. Obviously we took it straight back down when we saw it doing that. THEN, we balanced it.

[zunkfunkt]

@bonza85 instead of wind turbine you should call it wind turbulence. LOL get it? wind turbulence, because of the turbines chaotic movement lol. You can tell that joke when you show this to friends i don't mind.

[den2003]

Whoa! Got to stop taking those 'shrooms, man!

[DukeLaCrosse20]

wobbles like mad. will wear itself out quickly.

[bonza85]

Fortunately that problem was mostly fixed thanks to some well placed balancing mass (obviously not featured at the time of this video).
