  • Helicopters don't have propellers...

  • This is because helicopters don't have propellers, they are called rotors.

  • They have rotors....

  • Rotor?

    

  • that IS crazy lol!

    check out my "rubber stair rail" illusion due to the same effect of using a cell phone camera :)

  • OMG!!!! i can hear the blades turning but they r standing still, this makes no sense ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! oh wait i got it, ur a dumb ass

  • shutter speed of the camera matches the rotation of the blades, ergo making the blades look like its stationary.

  • I love the comment sections in these videos. Even though there's a comment on EVERY page explaining this phenomena, you still get a bunch of utter fucknuggets making comments along the lines of "It's just a model" or "It has a jet engine underneath".

    Christ EmoSurfer88 explained it more or less perfectly, but still the fucknuggetry continues.

  • It's actually called the Stroboscopic Effect. It is caused by small instantaneous samples of optical phenomena. there are some pretty cool Stroboscopic effect videos on YouTube!

  • that is so obvious

  • @MustangsCanTurnToo i gues thats the point of the title :)
