Yellow Schlieren effect video: 12.12.10



This video captured is the most significant result we have had so far in our investigation into the Schlieren effect. The video shows the light projection from the parabolic mirror onto the ceiling above with a shadow of a hand holding the heat source. In the reflection you can see the Schlieren effect, which displays heat particles rising from the lighter and above. The image revels a lot more than what the naked eye can see by looking directly at the lighter. Looking at the projection on the ceiling revels the invisible with the use of a parabolic mirror giving a bubbling effect of what looks like heat emitting from the lighter.
