...Rolling Shutter?

You're watching video shot on a video camera (whether a "propper" camera or cell phone camera) running at 24 fps.   The hose is being shaken by the speaker at 24Hz...

It's the old "wheels on the cart turning backwards" when viewed on film effect.



Looks pretty.

I was asking if you thought it might be a rolling shutter phenomenom.

Sort of like this, but different:

How come all of you (who should have already seen this when I posted in a couple of weeks ago here) think this is a trick?

I got stuck on step one: "secure hose to speaker". I'm reluctant to tape a hose to a paper-cone speaker, so I'm thinking I should use my ADAMs, whose woofers are a man-made composite and therefore more likely to be waterproof. Yeh, that's the ticket. Oh, wait -- they don't go down to 24Hz...I'll have to throw some water on the subwoofer and see if the cone dissolves.

When I was teaching electronics in another life, we used to do a demonstration wherein we'd modulate a Bunsen burner with audio (you need a tube amp for a high-voltage signal). Sound would come out of the flame! Very cool, even if not exactly hi-fi.

Can we scale that up and use it as a pyro technique for stage shows?
