Ultra-fast industrial motion pictures shown at A I C E meeting
Dr. Gustavus J. Esselen demonstrated ultra-fast photography in Baltimore to study industrial processes and product failure. The method uses light switched 3,000 times per second, slowing speeds from six miles per minute to three miles an hour and aiding designs from electric fans to kitchen devices. It assists engineers in examining bottle breakage and gas liquid interactions. Langley Field laboratories use similar imaging to analyze oil combustion in compression engines for aircraft.
