The Schlieren Effect - Amazing Demonstration!

This unreal experiment allows you to see air movement around any object.

Song #1: Over Rain

This is a demonstration of the Schlieren effect. This setup allows you to see changes in air density. The point light source is aimed at the concave mirror. The concave mirror reflects to a focal point. There you use a sharp edged object to partially block the light which helps create a shadow effect that allows you to see air movement.

I think this re-defines insane! In the best possible way.

Last time Brusspup posted Ryan Lochte wasn't a liar and Harambe was alive

One of the coolest things I have ever watched.
Great job. ☺

No way, is this what I think it is? Brusspup? IN MY SUB FEED? I must be drunk

[ohEphixia]

"How does a fart look like" was my immediate question

[Rulerofwax]

I've seen this in a few contexts, including an explanation of how it works, and it is always incredibly entertaining to see the effects. Awesome upload, yet again!

If my mind is going to be blown every time you release a video, then I can stand the wait in-between.

Woah this channel got big and it still is satisfying to watch.

[illdie]

I've always wanted to see what air looked like as a fluid. This is so cool!

[armymansam]

I wonder what it would look like if you farted in front of the mirror...

Anyone else completely mind blown? I NEED TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON.

She's very gifted. Even compose her own music for her channel :D

[sanchezhernandezluisdavid]

Estos vídeos son geniales, siempre nos muestran que algo más sucede, algo más allá de nuestra vista, algo que ignoramos por preocuparnos tanto en nuestras pequeñas vidas, lo más importante es no olvidar que hay cosas que aunque no creamos en ellas, suceden, me encanta este canal, felicidades

[mrfuzzyibrows]

what exactly does the razor blade do to make the process possible?

[WhatComesAroundTM]

This would be so useful in aerodynamic development

[TheSentientCloud]

So you're just going to show us some cool science without explaining to us how it works?

[jennhoff]

WHAT?!?!?!?! How did this not go viral?! I've never seen anything like it before. It's so so beautiful.

[tacosKebab]

I love music in the background everytime ! I want a 10 hours of that 😍😍😍

Now I see how the term "Smoke and Mirrors" came to be.
