    I'm a gate and fence manufacturer..
    we got sheets of circular perforated sheets in a hexagonal pattern to clad some fences shortly after seeing this vid..
    the offcuts were just thrown on the bench randomly (as you do), and I noticed the larger hexagonal pattern just walking by one day, so started playing with it (and of course showing my work-mates / boss).
    my fav effect was a whole heap on top of each other (could see the effect more clearly), and with the top 4 sheets, you make it so the top one makes really big circles with the 2nd sheet, and the 3rd sheet makes somewhat smaller circles with the 4th sheet..
    you can only see the small circles that the 3rd makes with the 4th through the big circles that the 1st makes with the 2nd. Outside of the bigger circles (from the 1st and 2nd), you can't see the smaller circles

    @RoboBoddicker 8 лет назад +36

    Awesome. You need to deal with this effect a lot in commercial printing. Since 4-color CMYK images are printed using grids of dots, if you just overlay all 4 grids at the same angle then the slightest offset will create Moire patterns. So you have to make the angle between the grids for each color maximally separated (at around 30 degrees), which makes very tiny "rosette" patterns that you can see if you look closely at a printed package.

    • @Maxflay3r
      @Maxflay3r 8 лет назад +50

      +j0nthegreat I mean, it sort of makes sense. If you have a plane with an object on it, and rotate the plane relative to a point somewhere on the plane, then the object moves along the border of the circle of a radius equal to the lenght of the distance between the center of rotation and the object in question. So the longer the distance, the longer the border, and thus the trajectory of the object becomes straighter. Thus if the center is at infinity, the distance between the center and the object is infinite, and thus the radius of the circle is infinite, which means that the trajectory is a straight line.
      Simply put, as the distance between the object and the center of rotation approaches infinity, its movement trajectory during the rotation approaches a straight line.

    • @black_platypus
      @black_platypus 8 лет назад +2

      +ComputersAreRealCool It wasn't so bad at my end... But yes, since you're imposing a regular grid (cells in the sensor and pixels in the video) onto this grid yet again, the effect will suffer. Same if you scan or even re-print an image printed with offset-print, for example.
      You can see the Moiré effect happening between printed dots and cells/pixels at 3:45 quite well :) That time, the undesired effect can be used to illustrate the contents of the video :D
      And with compression, there are different techniques, but many divide the picture up into fields of 8x8 pixels, for example.

    Wow. Even as I child I was always curious about these types of patterns that emerge when you look through things like a meshed square trash bin. FINALLY someone showed me how this actually happens. Thank you!

    This guy is awesome! I'd love to see more of his demonstrations! Those demonstrations sort of reminded me of isomeric compounds rotating polarized light clockwise (dextrorotatory) and (levorotatory) anticlockwise! That's so cool!

    One can think of the transparency as a sampling pattern and the paper some signals. Plotting the patterns in the Frouier domain may explain the phenomenon more clearly.

    I think this is a great maths video, because it is not overly directed. Many maths videos are strongly directed, meaning that they pose a single, very specific goal, and then work solely towards that goal. That's okay, but it is important to also have these videos which are not so directed at a specific goal; they tend to be more broadly approachable and more involving. Sugoi!

    The patterns made from the "random" distribution at the start of this video are a set of moire patterns called Glass patterns after Leon Glass who described them some decades ago, they are of particular interest to neuro-physiologists because they provide some insight into the way the brain works and to visual artists, like me, because they look cool. I have some other examples in my videos, it is relatively easy to program them in Processing.

    Such an easy lab/demo that you can give to kids in class. I hope there's teachers out there watching this so one lucky classroom can have their minds blown as much as we did!

    I am really, really, liking this professor. The paper tricks were great, and now? He's doing this sitting on the floor! This is the kind of a person that grabs the imagination of kids, which means they just may learn something.

    I found that while I was playing with perfboard PCB, these are boards with array of drills. Once I placed hole above hole in both noting appeared but once I rotated one the same pattern emerged, array of circles that grow or get smaller :)
