  • Youtube is full of uneducated idiots. People knew of this effect a century ago, yet modern day people are STILL this ignorant?

    It's all about FPS and RPM. If you match the two properly, this is what you get. Every time the shutter on the camera opens, the rotors have made 1 revolution, and are back in their starting position. They appear to be stationary, because YOU ONLY SEE WHAT THE CAMERA SEES.

    Open a book once in awhile!

  • Um, you do realize that wings don't produce thrust right? The osprey uses those two propellers as it's main propulsion source. This phenomena was created by the camera's shutter speed being the same as the osprey's propeller speed.

  • I know that the camera effect is causing the blades to look like they're not really spinning, but it looks kind of cool like that.

  • It's called temporal aliasing or the stroboscopic effect!

  • Wow - a mew type of aircraft that doesn't actually need the blades to turn to make it fly :)

  • The blades and camera are in synchrony like the spokes of the wagon wheels in the old wild west movie. The shutter speed used to be 16 frames and sometimes the spokes of the wagons were at a speed when 16 spokes passed a point in one second. The wheels actually looked like they weren't turning.

  • the camera frame rate makes it look as though the blades arent moving

  • I think is like a camara efect, becouse the blades move but very slowly (at less thats what we see) but acctually the blades are moving so fast that the camara doesent ''see'' it.

    I think that may be. A camara efect.

  • Wow, someone with a functioning brain on Youtube...

  • You need another 20 years of going to school.
