Honey bees in ultra slow motion

  • Honey bees flap their wings up to 250 times a second. The Phantom v2511 camera can shoot more than 1 million frames per second (creating slow motion upon playback). Here we're using one to capture footage for a documentary about bees.

      The Bee's Body is much bigger and heavier than its small wings: How does it fly and support itself in the air? The Bee flies because its wings flap thousands of times per second, CREATING SWIRLS OF AIR, which support them in their flights. GOD EXISTS, that could already be evolution.

      They don't fly or use aerodynamics they levitate. Those eing movement aren't flight like a bird there create a vibrating that causes levitation. Called acoustic levitation. Humming birds also do it that way. You here a buzz from bees and insects because the vibration is a sound wave humming birds hum from the vibration they create. We can do it and levitate with sound waves or anything. It's believed thsts how the big stones were moved like Stonehenge or the pyramids and all those acient constructs. Acoustic levitation

    • @michiganshooter
      @michiganshooter  4 года назад +1

      It doesn't really extend a pre-existing clip when you overcrank (high fps) - there is no time base - that's only created when you put it on an editing timeline (24fps, 30fps, 60fps, etc) which can create a variety of outcomes. Generally speaking, yeah, you end up with massive amounts of time when you play it back. If you put 1 sec. of 150,000 fps on a 24fps timeline you get something like 100 minutes I think(?)... 60fps might give you something like 41 minutes... you end up sitting looking at it for a long time, or scrubbing through it to the good parts. Need lots of hard drive space.
