      YES, i want to see and hear more about that. i've never heard of this before. I wonder what it would pick up from watching planes flying overhead, landing/taking off, cars on a highway, whether it would pick up interplay of pressure waves around cars as they pass each other on the highway, etc... I want to see tons of stuff with this. if it's precise enough i wonder what it would show for more mundane things like dogs barking or an aluminum pole hitting the ground. I want to see lots more stuff with this.

      over9000713 it's sounding like all it's doing is comparing differences in pixels between subsequent frames. so anything that is causing a difference in pixels from one frame to another "should" show up i would think. whether that is a physical object moving or simply changes in light refraction/reflection, should all show up. I just don't know how precise it is. no doubt there are many things that show up with this technique using slow motion that wouldn't in normal speed. I'm very curious to see what all it CAN pick up with slow motion.

    • @andrewlit2202
      @andrewlit2202 Před 5 lety +2

      It seems like a very simple technique. Most video editors have a “difference” blending mode, so I am guessing that if you take the footage, make a copy on the layer below and shift it by a frame or two, and set the top blending mode to difference you could do it. Not sure how sensitive it would be, certainly interesting to play with. And you could just do single frames or whatever in Photoshop too, certainly

  • @williamheyman5439
    @williamheyman5439 Před 4 lety +58

    So twenty-seven years in the field artillery, from private to colonel, and I did enjoy this. Maybe they should have chocked the wheels so that the cannon did not recoil as loose as it seemed, but they knew what they were doing so no harm. The technical quality of the pics was the best I have ever seen. The old black powder was very slow compared to a modern howitzer, and you would be amazed at the instantaneous report from a modern artillery piece. And the wife and I have also used Hello Fresh, for a year now (and I am not getting anything for this) and it is very good. I don;t think we would have ever even tried to cook the stuff that they send, but we have been able to follow the directions and got some really good meals. Better than we could do on our own.

    • @taggartlawfirm
      @taggartlawfirm Před 4 lety +4

      William Heyman in actual service the gun crews chocked the wheels on the other side, so when running the gun back to battery the wheels could return the same spot.

    • @theguy9234
      @theguy9234 Před 4 lety +17

      Chocking the wheels would create pressure on the wood frame that holds the barrel. The pressure from the recoil is released by rolling backwards.

      GhostyOcean Any glass shards will be propelled away from the direction of the cannon, and would be easy to zoom in on and hit even at a few hundred yards, plenty safe of a distance. You could even use a polished metal mirrored surface and totally avoid glass altogether.

      Rubmaster it’s called a friction igniter. If I remember correctly, it’s a little brass tube filled with gunpowder, and a little pin with the string connected to it. You stuff the tube in the touch hole, and then when you pull on the string, the friction(I’m not sure if it’s just heat or a spark) ignited the powder in the tube, which then lights the main charge.

    Hey Destin, I don't know how often some of the railroads do this, but every now and then, they pull out one of their steam engines. It would be nice to see you capture various aspects in slow motion, like the power stroke of the piston rods that drive the wheels. It is amazing how much engineering went into those engines in an age before slide rulers. (And it was this engineering that eventually lead to the first automobiles.)
    If you can, see if Union Pacific is going to be running any of the old 4-8-8-4 or 4-8-8-2 Cab Forwards (Yes, a steam locomotive with the cab mounted on the front of the boiler.) If not, there are tourist railways, like the Grand Canyon Railway, that do regularly run steam engines.

      What you seeing there is actually the ground-reflected wave he is referring to in the commentary. So it’s actually compression of the air molecules along a front causing a distortion in the background features. Pretty cool nonetheless!

    • @ianhamilton1997
      @ianhamilton1997 Před 5 lety

      The wave I'm talking about is the one that you can only see on the tree trunk. I don't think that's the ground-reflected wave he's talking about, because why would you only be able to see it where the tree is? There's a more subtle ground-reflected wave that you can see following the main wave as it propagates, and meeting up with it at ground level, as you would expect if it's reflecting off the ground.

    • @thatpaintballchannel179
      @thatpaintballchannel179 Před 5 lety +1

      Yeah, I'm talking about the tree trunk specifically. The bark is certainly soft enough to show rippling, and the wave is nowhere visible except (a) on the trunk, and (b) on the side of the trunk facing the blast. The other side of the tree is plainly visible, and does not exhibit the rippling, also consistent with it being the bark itself.

      Depends on the the caliber, type of cannon and type of projectile or projectiles but generally anywhere from 1000-1500 feet per second. The most common type of civil war cannon, the 12 pounder was right around 1400-1450 feet per second.

    Great video. Interesting to see the blowby blast BEFORE the round leaves the muzzle and the separate contained blast afterwards, even with the rifled shell. Suggest compare these firings to firings with later cannons to see how well the developing technology contained the blast behind the round and thereby improved speed, range, and accuracy. For example, it looked to me that the single Whitworth shot produced an earlier exit and less blowby blast. Thank you.

The development that went into the Civil War cannon was 500 years of engineering.... the world's BEST engineering at the time. Military academies were, basically, artillery schools. Because it was where the mathematicians, scientists, engineers.... best and the brightest went. And they designed these implements of war. Just after the CW... Iron carriages, hydraulic recoil, cordite, breech loading.... all came about. So these carriages are the penultimate development of wood-carriage artillery. Amazing video.
