I got a job programming a software interface to the FLIR sensors... specifically the consumer versions... they more than have a lower frame rate. They infact have the same frame rate, but in the off frames they send garbage data, so you still need the same power CPU to read the lower frame rate. So your heat seeking missile will still have the same price to manufacture, but it will also have a dodgy sensor. 8.7 fps is about on par with the FLIR Lepton1, which has an unstoppable resolution of 80x60. That's why they have the visible camera attached to it, to help hide just how ridiculously bad the IR sensor is. The Lepton3 has a res of 160x120, which isn't much better, but does allow you to actually make things out. The FLIR sensors are not CCD cameras, they're microbolometers. That is, tiny Vanadium Oxide temperature sensitive resistors, in a vacuum, behind a Silicon lens. The clicking at startup (and every few minutes during runtime) is the sensor closing its shutter, and using the shutter as a uniform temperature surface to calibrate the sensor elements. The sensor itself has a small chip inside that does these calibrations. It is possible to get 10-bit greyscale images out of the sensor, but by default it will scale and adjust the image to give you an 8bit thermal resolution, false colour image. Whether or not your device allows this mode is another question. Now the reason they can't see your IR light source, is that these FLIR sensors detect LWIR (long wave infra red), which which we tend to think of as heat. As opposed to SWIR (short wave) and NIR (near IR), the latter being what your IR torch and most remote controls use. The "near" refers to "near to visible light". Just below LWIR, is where Microwaves start (or end?). Fun things to play with, hold a piece of printer paper up in front of the camera, and place your hand behind it in contact with the paper. Also Copper is LWIR reflective, so you can finally take that bathroom mirror IR selfie you've always dreamed of, assuming your bathroom mirror is a sheet of polished Copper.

You forgot superglue! I dropped a scalpel onto my thigh once while cropping cards and it embedded all the way in. After watching the circle of red grow on my jeans for a couple of seconds, I pulled out the scalpel, ripped off the jeans and tried to stop the bleeding. Superglue was on my desk, so I pinched the wound shut, wiped off the blood and put a drop of it on the slit and waited a few seconds for it to set. Worked brilliantly and healed quickly with hardly a scar. I think cyanoacrylate glues were partly developed for battle trauma, so I confirm that they do work!

It might also be worth mentioning for folks that aren't aware: atmospheric pressure (~14psi) is measured as absolute pressure from perfect vacuum (0 psi), and tire/air tool/train brake/air rifle pressure/etc. is measured at gauge pressure, which takes atmospheric pressure as 0 PSI.

Hi Tony, Your Infrared lamp sends out waves with a wavelength of about 720nm-740nm or 0,0283465 - 0,0291339 thou (near infrared) wich is in fact so near that the CCD chip in your phone is still a bit sensitive for it. The thermocamera is sensitive between 8000nm - 14000nm or 0,3149606 - 0,5511811 thou wich is way further into the infrared spectrum. Think of it as medium far away from our spectrum. Thats why you dont see anything on the FLIR when you use your IR torch. Sorry for my bad english and the metric numbers.

1000 HP MOTOR COUPLING The power of the O ring. Glad you pointed it out. I used to charge drive couplings on 1000 hp motors as part of my job. The pump (Tange) had a plane round plug on the end of the hydraulic pipe that pushed into the motor coupling (Voith). The only thing that held it in was two O rings. Normal working pressure was 550bar. The push in plug had the oil outlet on the end but was cross drilled with a secondary oil outlet between the two O ring which ment that the pressure between the O rings was always equal to that in the motor coupling. After charging the motor coupling to 550bar I tightened the shear plug which blocked the flow in that direction and then released the pressure on the pump. The filler plug would then fall out. Always amazed me that two little O rings could hold such pressure. Incidentally, I quite often used to make or I should say splice the O rings myself.

EvilPlagueDoctor most thermal cameras work on long-wavelength IR, while that flashlight is probably either near-infrared or short-wavelength infrared. Near-infrared is just outside our range of vision but can still be picked up by a digital camera, making it useful for filming in the dark, but the thermal imaging sensor wouldn't even register it.

[@nielsterweele2028]

@@alexdavis9794 Indeed, thermal cameras work in the range 9,000 - 14,000 nm, whereas most IR flashlights have wavelength 850 or 940 nm. Gotta love wikipedia:)

[@superdau]

Not all IR is created equal. The thermal camera isn't interested in the near IR of the IR flashlight. The wavelength is about a magnitude off, the flashlight being around 800-1000nm, while thermal radiation being at around 10µm (10000nm). An *idea for the poop shoot* : rip the IR block filter out of a cheap webcam (the purplish/cyan shimmering glass stuck to the lens) and your flashlight will easily be able to light a whole room for the modded camera. More expensive cameras often have that filter glued to the image sensor, so it's not as easy to remove. But I did it with a normal digital camera as well. To block daylight but let near IR through you can use a piece of exposed and developed black and white film. It's really weird when you look at it through the modded camera and it's completely transparent, while with your eyes you see something completely black in your hand.

[@curiositywasframed4755]

As far as I understand, and from my field experience: thermal cameras see emissivity. They don't actually pick up the heat. It will calculate the temperature based on emissivity but the results can be questionable. Especially depending on the material. That's why you can't see steam with a thermal camera. The steam (even super-heated steam at 500-600 dungerees frankenstein) doesn't emit the heat. It expands to release the energy instead of radiating it. It'll cut you in half or melt your skin, but it won't show up on a thermal camera. Infrared and heat are different things. People associate them because many materials emit infrared as they get hotter. You can find a steam leak in a pipe with a thermal camera by looking for a point that is hotter than the rest of the pipe. That's the steam dumping extra heat energy into that point as it's escaping through (wall thickness of the pipe is more surface area the steam is contacting). You can see other things, like a concrete wall or steel support structure, being warmed up by the steam blasting it, but you won't see the steam itself. It's scary.

I have a couple thermal cameras, both very useful. The E4 is a handheld, great for finding hot or cold cylinders on an engine, if you have a bad injector or spark plug, point the camera along the cylinder head and it's easy to spot the cold cylinder that is not firing. Also great for finding bad circuit breakers, leaks of cold or warm air and such. I hacked the firmware of the E4 and upgraded everything, the E4 and E8 are the same camera, just different firmware that change the resolution and a bunch of features get left off the cheaper unit. My other FLIR is an M364 marine dual payload stabilized unit for boat use. Spotting debris in the water in front of you, or crab floats before you run them over, or even looking around as you enter a dark marina or bay, is invaluable. I have both night vision, NVG, and FLIR and they are both useful, but the FLIR takes the award for night navigation. Of course the price of admission is pretty steep for the M364. Thanks Tony for another great video. BTW, the wavelength of both of your flashlights is outside of the FLIR receptors. If you tried the IR flashlight and an NVG, that would work.

21:21 Its more that any thermal camera in USA sold on the official market to individuals (generally that is) are not allowed to have a higher refresh rate then max 9 FPS otherwise they are deemed military equipment and that is to good for individuals to have, but that is the USA government that have set it that way. In Europe there is this company Pulsar that manufacture really god and surprisingly cheap 384x288 (and up) thermal cameras (not with temperature and such, its not that kind of cameras) with 50 FPS and I bought one here with no problems at all and its really good. So how come we in Europe can by high FPS hi res thermal cameras as individuals? Well these are made in Europe and not made by FLIR in USA where they are strictly controlled by USA government where they have said that FLIR are the only one company in the world that are allowed to manufacturer thermal cameras. Well that is how USA want it to be that is. So when USA noticed Pulsar they was on them right away and said they were not allowed to make thermal cameras! Pulsar just said that this is Europe so we do what we want so just sod off! USA got really pissed and threatened with lawsuits and what not but had nothing to say since this was Europe and they cant tel other countries what to make and not so it ended very quickly with USA walked away really pissed. So in EU we can buy hi res high fps thermal cameras with no problems.

[@dtiydr]

No its another type of camera, its a complete unit with screen and all built in (not like the C2) and is held by one hand so these are not attachable things or such and with specs like this USA would hardly not have allowed them on the market to the public anyway and they are also most likely import prohibited to USA as well. But if you live in Europe its all open to everyone to buy, if you got the cash since these cost starting from around 2 - 3 time the price but these have almost 5 time the resolution (FLIR one measly 80x60 in comparison to 384x288) and many times higher FPS of 50 compared to 9 FPS at FLIR One pro so they are extremely cheap based on what you get in contrary to the FLIR. There is also nothing in the FLIR product range what so ever where you can get a complete unit with these specs for the same money but these are for professional use in field and not really like those in the video except maybe the C2.

[@MaxTheSpycar]

My industrial thermal imager has a higher refresh rate than that. every 30 seconds to a minute it will re calibrate if you point it at something much hotter or much colder but if everything is reasonably the same temperature it has excelent framerate. Enough to capture great video

[@dtiydr]

50 FPS is more then enough to get a good fluid video, they are not exactly used to record action movies so any higher is just really unnecessary. But there are of course thermal cameras in other price classes with higher specs only companies can afford but I now talk more about those that individuals might afford. What resolution does it have? 640x480 or even higher?

[@HardstylePete]

@@dtiydr On their website, I couldnt find a product sold with a resolution above 640x480. I'd assume its still regulated in Europe to some extent.

[@dtiydr]

@@HardstylePete There might very well be a certain resolution limit in some countries no doubt even if I doubt it would be a total European ban since a thermal camera over 640x480 would be so dam expensive that it's hardly anyone who could buy one. Then its also not an absolutely necessary resolution either to have over this and thus more the reason that they would not sell or make any higher, then it would be any restriction that would stop them. They might be in the high level surveillance police or military market or such where fex 720p and 1080p sensorns would have been sought for but then there would have been a price tag that no normal consumer would even get close to afford and thus they don't show any on their page since it not also not meant for the ordinary consumer marker. But could you manufacture a 640x480 sensor so could you also make a 800x600 sensor and a 1280x720 and so on even if larger ones are exponentially harder to make as flawlessly as possible. Then there is also the necessity reason for an ordinary individual. These handheld devices are normally also zoomed in so you get a good detection and details even far away, but you don't really need to be able to count the single strands on the fur of an animal 1 mile away and thus they don't need to sell anything with higher resolution then 640x480, not really that any restrictions would forbid them to do so is my guess.

The power stored in the pipework running winches has even the most casual of engineers a bit nervous. On SKF couplings on tail shafts and engines the jacking pressure is around 4000bar.

[@coffeemaddan]

One of your best videos. Nicely done with the UK's 'bugger' and other colloquialisms :)

[@juliobbl]

infra red, ultra violet, same thing...

[@kingkasper4950]

;-)

[@Bl4ckw0lf1]

Only in that they are invisible. Otherwise, they are on opposite ends of the visible spectrum. One heats things up, the other supposedly kills germs. One is shorter while the other is longer. And there are a few types of infrared, btw. Thermal Infrared, near infrared and infrared.

[@andymouse]

hahahahah!

[@superamp2724]

As far as I can see, no arguements.

[@Toxicity1987]

@Pat Bubba Ultra Violet can also heat things up. At 2000°C you start to get ultra violet heat radiation, has its peak around 6000°C. You can have thermal radiation at the full electromagnetic spectrum. Just at our normal temperature most thermal radiation is in the infrared spectrum.

[@Justscary]

Tot, can you please do a video on converting a standard rotary table into an motorised indexing table like clickspring has. I think that would be very useful for those of us wanting to use accurate positioning of a mounted air rifle discreetly positioned under the back stairs to finally convince the neighbours barking dog to shut up , or for gear cutting, yes, gear cutting, that's plausible....... 😂😂😂

[@Skkonn]

Tony, I love your videos. I usually learn something, but I always laugh. I've been tempted to get a flir for a while and "thermal selfie" might be just enough to take it over the top.

[@WARRANTW3]

I must say I enjoy your videos, just the right amount of humor and science?

[@evaderknives]

I wonder if KZbin considers air guns "Inappropriate"... I know my knife making videos have been flagged, cause God forbid, I show other knife makers how to follow their passion or learn a new skill... I could understand if i was showing people how to kill zombies or hunt down, well anything(which is fine too, but a lot of people don't like it)Anyways, great video, I feel like a broken record, but i love seeing all your new editing techniques... Great video, take it easy...

[@Duraltia]

Yours is inappropriate because it focuses on the creation of a lethal tool while his is about using some neat tech to understand the physics of air using a bicycle pump and an air soft gun capable of withstanding the forces necessary to demonstrate that the 4000psi labeling on that pressure gauge is total bullshit when a fit person isn't even able to bottom it out anymore at 3000 because of the lack of weight and an overweight one would have been exhausted long before at 2000 xD

[@Ijusthopeitsquick]

Durahl Illogical (knives are necessary and ubiquitous tools), inaccurate (that's not an airsoft gun), irrelevant (he's not denouncing the concept of a manual pump) and silly.

[@Scofflaw_k10]

Ijusthopeitsquick Thank you.

[@evaderknives]

Durahl It doesn't matter to KZbin why or what it is for, if it contains anything that is considered a weapon, it is "inappropriate". Also, I own and have made many knives, I have never came close to having any of them be "lethal"... Though they are great for many useful everyday task, hence the name EDC.... Furthermore, a Hammer is a tool, but if you slam it into someone's head it is potentially lethal too...

[@kirkc9643]

Dave Erving Evader Knives stupidity is often lethal and yet stupidity is not censored by KZbin...in fact, it seems to be spreading via youtube like a contagious disease. Knives minus stupidity are perfectly safe.

Got one and it is pretty great since being compact it is easy to have along. Best camera is the one you have with you. Jim

After watching tons of those great vids, I realize that the acting with fingers is really amazing because it's absolutly not taken for granted. It might look natural (and it probably is or has become over time), but any regular guy would produce terrible results trying to mimic this.

As a Minnesotan I must correct people (it's in our laws) 1 its pop 2 its gray duck not goose

[@7cle]

I guess it's slow to boot, because you need some cooling magic to do it's work on the IR sensor before it can tell how much stuff is hotter than itself, I I guess it uses Peltier modules, or inverted thermocouples. Incidentally, the camera is hot because it's insides get cold. Previous generation IR Cameras had to be filled with LN2 Liquid nitrogen. Boot time was not better.

[@buckhorncortez]

Nope. No cooling. The sensor uses microbolometers. Cooled sensors use Stirling cycle coolers and a closed cooling system with a cold finger that touches the back of the sensor. - none of which would fit in that small FLIR module. IR cameras that required filling with liquid nitrogen to chill the sensor's dewar haven't been used since about 1998.

[@Bl4ckw0lf1]

True. I'd like to see someone have a video of them drawing an ultra photo realistic drawing of any type of gun.

[@dowdayjing8442]

If everyone could handle a gun safely and use common sense around them I think we’d live in a safer world. Some people can’t (the inexperienced, uninformed, youth who don’t know any better or have the benefit of proper instruction) and so I’m willing to sit through a PSA just in case it helps at least one person be more safe.

[@SharkyMoto]

god damn it. now that i've built my 1:1 replica of an f35 fighter jet, you come here and tell me i cant build my own heat seeking missile? maybe i should just stick to the nuclear warheads grandma gave me last christmas.

[@robjohnson1138]

I dunno - I think 9Hz is enough to get you “in the neighborhood” - depending on the speed of your target, and your weapon. It would have to have relatively slow turning capabilities so as not to start an ever widening oscillation because of correction and overcorrection of trajectory. Or some junk.

[@SharkyMoto]

@@robjohnson1138 flight stabilization needs to be done with a gyroscope and accelerometer. 9 hz could be okay for stationary targets... the resolution would be the bigger problem i think

[@UnitSe7en]

You'll also have to put a hold on that ICBM. Civilian GPS won't allow that, either.

[@a24396]

If you've got 9Hz of update in one FLIR, but you can "de-synchronize" that one FLIR with another mounted in tandem so one is "between" updates when the other is updating ... That might get you out of that oscillation problem because each FLIR would be correcting based on the other FLIR's correction and the intervals between corrections would actually be maybe half as long as 9Hz would otherwise suggest... Not sure how the hand-off would work, but that could get you there... Maybe... Don't know for sure - I suspect the problem would be the hand-off and keeping everything synced...

[@micjr21]

God your videos make me laugh lol. And some how you always manage showing something I could never really find an answer to. 👍

[@ag-workshop]

Nice pcp, I have the air arms s510 that runs at 200 bar, I've never used a hand pump before sod that , great video as always Tony thanks for sharing

[@thorbiornbiorrith497]

About pressure in trains. The main line for the brakes, commonly used in freight trains, is at 5 bars reference pressure. Between lokomotives or for highspeed trains there's a feeder line aswell, directly connected to the pressure tanks at 10 bar.

[@listerdave1240]

The IR torch is near infra red, that is about 1 micron or somewhere there. The thermal camera, being a thermal camera, sees thermal infra-red, which is between about 4 microns to 16 microns. The 1 micron radiation from the torch is well outside its range but almost within range of our eyes seeing it, and can actually be seen if bright enough.

[@1981chrisjones]

The answer about the UV torch is that InfraRed (what the camera detects) is at the opposite end of the visible spectrum. Its sort of like blowing a dog whistle, we can't hear it as we as humans (well most of us) can only hear up to a certain range, of which the dog whistle is higher so can be heard by dogs with a higher upper-frequency range,

[@ironbomb6753]

Thanks for the gratitudious shot of the lathe with the thermal camera, made my night 😎👍

This channel is the only thing keeping me sane after "james mays reassembler" was cancelled

[@iainwilliams6510]

Speaking as a rail engineer, you're more or less correct. It varies with application but broadly you'll see 4 to about 7.5 Bar. Though bear in mind that most modern locomotives (and fixed formation multiple units) are really only using air brakes for the last few mph of braking. At higher speeds braking is done through some combination of regenerative and reactive braking; use the traction motors as generators and dumping the energy into a load. Oh, and we use FLIR cameras for fault finding all the time!

[@CotyBatemon]

Locomotive engineer for a freight railroad here. The pressure in our main reservoir (the air compressor tank) is usually set at 130-140 psi and the pressure of the brake pipe running through all the cars is set to 90. Passenger trains tend to keep their brake pipe at 110.

[@andrewevett8392]

i have always wanted to see that video of a video of a video sequence thank you

[@rallymax2]

Perhaps the most interesting random topic you've ever covered. Bravo.

[@maxheadflow]

One thing I thing you forget to mention is that 15 psi ambient is absolute pressure. All the other pressures in the list are referenced to ambient which means in absolute terms they need 15 psi added.. As always, enjoy your stuff.

[@andrewsuderman]

As a home owner, and mechanic shop owners, the Flir One is an invaluable tool. Love the thing.

[@keithjurena9319]

Marauder reservoir tube is steel. With mine, I use the Benjamin pump with a supercharged modification. I feed it 15-30 psi dry air which effectively doubles to triples the mass flow. This also reduces compressive heating and because the air is dried over 3A molecular sieves, it is bone dry. Dew point of -40 which is both F and C.
