I think it's good to think about what you see and to question it.[/QUOTE]
I think it's stupid to be needlessly cynical about [I]everything[/I].
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43867271]yeah but back during WWI, the only AAA that existed was someone pointing their Maxim or springfield in the air and air ships were always far out of the range of said Maxims. Their only real threat were fighter aircraft and those didn't really exist early in the war. Aircraft were strictly for recon use, and when they fought each other (or fought airships) they typically either rammed each other or threw bricks. Even when aircraft started mounting machine guns, they still didn't do a whole lot against the airships. Airships were pressurized to pretty much the same as the outside air, so a few holes wouldn't cause it to lose any altitude. They weren't easy to take out until incendiary ammunition came into play.
And I've heard that German airships made attacks on mainland England at one point, but only managed to kill a few hundred over the course of WWI. Sounds like a lot but it really isn't.[/QUOTE]
You know how crazy wrong that is right?huge Air battles took place as early as 1915, and just because they were biplanes didn't mean they couldn't carry bombs and machine guns. Ww1 air war was extremely advanced for its time
I'm pretty sure technology was not at a complete standstill during the four years of the war, so things might've changed.

It was spinning too fast for its sensor to capture frames properly
[QUOTE=Mbbird;43883432]what the HELL happened to its ability to record during that freefall?[/QUOTE]
It flipped over so many times that the flipping roughly matched the framerate and flipped too fast to be captured frame by frame, thus causing a semi-stable image. There's a word for it that I can't remember.

Aliasing is one word, not sure if it's the one you were looking for.
I'm rather more surprised that camera still functioned after the fall and didn't even lose crucial parts to function.

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;43881794]iirc bombers of the ww1 times threw bombs out of the cockpit.[/QUOTE]
Only at the start of the war.
By 1916-1917, proper bomb racks were pretty common.
In fact, Germany actually had the world's first all-metal fighter in early production near the war's end.

It's like you didn't even read my post. No where in there did I say biplanes were completely ineffective against airships, nor did I say WWI air combat was non existent. I said early WWI; I meant literally right at the beginning before biplanes started getting actual armaments, thus the whole "ramming and throwing bricks" thing. One of the first air-to-air casualties during WWI was from a crazy Russian pilot ramming a Austrian recon aircraft which killed everyone involved

Want to know what killed the Russian? His aircraft didn't have any seat belts so he fell out of it. [i]extremely advanced[/I].

Yeah what with the whole thing about not giving pilots parachutes because it might make them bail out early.

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;43881794]iirc bombers of the ww1 times threw bombs out of the cockpit.[/QUOTE]
Only early aircraft did. By the end of the war there were several bombers that had fixed hard points on the outside of the aircraft to carry bomb loads.

Hold up, the people disagreeing with you were still right. That video had nothing to do with aliasing. (I know you knew it wasn't aliasing)
What you actually want is called rolling shutter [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_shutter[/URL] an effect due to the image sensor data being read line by line rather than all at once.

I'll admit I didn't actually watch the video; I assumed the effect would be functionally equivalent to, for example, a video of a helicopter's rotor blades performing a full revolution at the same rate as the video's frame rate. Stroboscopic was the word I was looking for but I couldn't remember it, so I settled for aliasing which is another (admittedly less used and maybe less accurate) term that can describe it. Because the video is captured at a fixed framerate, the input signal (i.e the moving object) loses the appearance of motion due fewer samples being taken than are required to show the motion.

You are, of course, correct here. I can't tell if I'm getting my point across properly or not so I apologise if I'm coming off as defensive or whatever. :v:

Aliasing is not accurate at all when describing the effect in the video, same with whatever else you're describing (it makes no sense).
What's happening is that the camera ends up doing about 2 full rotations in the time it takes for 1 frame to be processed line by line and the camera is rotating in the same direction as the lines are being processed. This allows the same scene in front of the camera to come up twice because by the time the bottom lines are being processed, the camera has rotated enough so that the scene that the top of the sensor captured is now at the bottom of the image sensor.

Those soldiers are pretty damn cool, and the magazine-that-holds-magazines idea is amazing (although it probably wouldn't work well IRL). I've always hated the Vector-based rifles though and I don't know why :l
