      DIY Steam Turbine Run

      Here's a run of my DIY Steam Turbine Run, terribly windy here today and the wind has been picked up by the camera's mic.
      Hope you can still enjoy the video.

            For your next post … could you perhaps show us the turbine rotor ?

            Thanks

              Nice outlook from your workshop too! I do love the sound of a turbine spooling up in the morning. Very nice.

                Thanks Michael, thanks Hopper appreciated guys.

                The LEDs showed up as blinking in the video. Its caused by the camera's video frame rate. I've tried changing the frame rate through the cameras setup but all that did was change how the LEDs blinked. Not sure how to overcome the phenomena?

                  Not much chance, so far as I am aware

                  It’s the same underlying problem as when the wheels appear to be going backwards.

                  [ which is quite obvious on the fan in this video ]

                  With an exotic camera, you could shoot at high speed and then slow it down to normal

                  But I doubt it’s worth the effort and expense.

                  I, for one, am very happy to ‘see-through’ a common problem like that, and just enjoy what you are demonstrating to us.
