- Sorta reminds me of what goes on at my 3 a.m. visit to the bathroom.

- Wow. Pretty cool.Isn't that the same sort of thing as when you see a wheel on a moving car and it looks like it's going backwards?

- This is just aliasing. A neat example of it, but not something I would call amazing.

- Neat, but as the story hints, it's really a "camera illusion" moreso than an optical illusion. The difference being that if you were standing there in person you would just see water flowing into a bucket. (Although you could probably make it into a true optical illusion with the aid of darkness and a strobe light...)

- Do you guys even spell check?
It's "camera's frame rate", not "cameras frame rate". We're supposed to learn this by fourth grade. Please spell check; mistakes like this are embarrassing. - Reply to this comment
- Do you think perhaps this principal is being used to cloak some of our latest military flight machines? I do know the principal is in use for military weapons where they can blast back a crowd if they become "unruly". This type of sound weapon will pop eardrums and stop hearts from beating too. Believe it. If you play sub-woofers around heart patients, you can stop their hearts... or at least send them into defib.

- Very cool effect. I doubt I'd have figured out the process (apart from reading the article) except that the video gave away the frequencies which were suspiciously similar to typical frame rates used video.
Very inventive.
I'm curious whether this effect would be possible with an old style tube video camera (rather than the newer CMOS/CCD cameras). My guess is that one wouldn't get the same effect (i.e. scanning lines for each frame would ruin it?).
The wonder of science man! You have to love it. - Reply to this comment
- You always know when an article has the word "amazing" in the title that it would be amazing... to a 10 year old child.
