    Whoever suggested color filter - kudos to you!

    Sorry for being away for such a long time!! I've been shooting a documentary and that's involved a lot of travel - to Boston, Paris, Glasgow, Baltimore, DC, Houston, and now I'm home for a few days before heading off to Australia. I really appreciate your patience and support.

    Hi Derek. This might get lost in a sea of youtube comments, but nevertheless I have a suggestion for a sound-based Schlieren imaging experiment. I was wondering if it is possible to observe a 3D standing waves in air (or some other transparent medium). Standing wave will create a pressure differences, so theoretically we should be able to see with this technique the pressure gradients between nodes and antinodes. With proper set up we might see similar patterns as Chaldni patterns produced on a 2D plane. The technical realization will probably be a bit more difficult, but this was just a quick idea that crossed my mind.

    watching a video about Schlieren in Schlieren, Switzerland.
  • @ishbanyadav
    The amount of hardwork you put in for creating is really inspiring.
  • @BananeDollar
    Make a collab with the Slow mo Guys. this would be cool :D
  • @iwillfreezeyou
    Hey!! If you placed an ice cube next to a candle could we be able to see the heat transfer between the candle and the ice cube? I'd like to see it if possible thank you ^^!

    Today on How It's Made: Schlierens! First, you take a plumbus..
  • @vooyas.mp4
    That is some sick vaporwave art with those filters!
  • @nathanb611
    "I may need to call in some support..." This sounds like a job for @theslowmoguys !!!
  • @Necron3145
    "Using this razor blade to cut the light" Why does that sound so dam cool to me 😂
  • The two-colored piece is awesome, the color contrast helps to see the flow movement much better.
  • @PictureFit
    Shhhhhhhhhhlieren. That's a tough one. Getting hypno vids at 5:20 o.o

    Razorblade on a stick: Great science tool in the right hands, evil weapon in the wrong ones.
  • @3dgar7eandro
    You have manage to explain "concave lens" light behavior in the most compelling way I have seeing in the all my Collage student years hahaha.
  • @ArunaKhudan
    This was really cool, wow, the images are stunning! I loved the colored ones, so pretty
  • When you blew up that bubble SO close to the mirror my heart jumped because i remmemberd how mauch work it takes to clean my telescope 😭😭😭
  • @Pyriphlegeton
    Please just upload 30m of uninterrupted colored Schlieren Footage. This looks mesmerizing.
  • @nitaiflick3050
    This is by far the most clear and concise demonstration I've seen of Schlieren photography. It would be great to see the currents of an ionocraft!
