      It moves faster than your eyes can actually properly see. Basically, think of like a screen that refreshes at 60hz.

      @doctor_owl Před 5 lety +2

      Another comment asked this question and someone provided the answer, so I'll paraphrase here. When the wheel speeds up, it gets closer and closer to the maximum speed your brain can process the information from your eyes, eventually surpassing it and creating the appearance of reversal. It's basically the same thing that happens if you exceed a screen's refresh rate. If a screen has a 60Hz refresh rate, that means it can process up to 60 frames per second, and anything above that will cause distortion such as screen tearing (which is what VSYNC is for, capping graphical FPS at 60Hz or whatever matches the same rate as your screen). Our eyes essentially have a maximum FPS and anything faster will have a slight delay, causing them to be processed in reverse. Imagine one of those old fashioned flipbook animations. Flipping front to back makes the animation move forward, but flipping the pages backwards makes it play in reverse. That's the effect caused when your brain lags behind. The accelerating wheel appears to slow down then momentarily freeze as the FPS matches the same speed as our brain, then begins "playing" in reverse. You can often see this same effect with old reel film animations. The film reel slows down and appears to play in reverse for a moment! ;)

    While studying rotational dynamics we were told that the point in contact / leaving the surface of the road of a rotating and translating wheel had no velocity at that instant. But this video helped me visualise it and gave me an intuitive understanding of this phenomenon.

      Rolling Shudder. Explained by SmarterEveryDay and why cameras see the way they do. As for your eyes, I'm not certain, but you can pretend that you see continuous motion in a certain frame rate. Eyes see constantly, but your brain can only process the data so fast. Anyway, wheels spinning forward and backward as they actually get faster is just a product of this phenomenon. If a sensor takes a full image at a time rather than scanning, then you get positional change rather than warping.

    This effect is most apparent with tracked vehicles, like military vehicles or construction equipment. A track is basically an elongated, flexible wheel, because just like a wheel, it rolls in order to carry the vehicle it’s attached to forward. And when you look at a vehicle like that in motion, you’ll notice that the upper tracks seem to fly by, while the bottom tracks are literally motionless whilst in contact with the ground
