When I was younger, I remember seeing something on TV about humming birds and how it was impossible to film the wings flapping with a camera because they couldn't film fast enough, now we have the technology to do it :D
Did you see that we now have a camera capable of 'filming' the passing by of a beam of light? Seems kind of impossible, but here it was on this channel.ruclips.net/video/7Ys_yKGNFRQ/видео.htmlsi=dVfjskxfPJsQ-6Te ruclips.net/video/7Ys_yKGNFRQ/видео.htmlsi=dVfjskxfPJsQ-6Te
That bird video is perhaps the most gorgeous video I’ve watched on this channel. The augur hawk flying to the perch made me think, “this is what people depict angel wings after.”
I take your point, however I could see it as being akin to looking through thin fabric or one-way mirrors, in that while it may look opague from the outside it is substantially easier to see through from the side without the light source.
Most things are easier to measure than a hummingbird's wings. For things not easy to measure, usually it involved a lot of complicated maths. An ancient Egyptian philosopher calculated a pretty good estimate of the circumference of the planet by comparing the length of the shadows of two obelisks that were the same height but on opposite sides of Egypt.
They didn't measure things that fast. The best they could do was guess, and we were wrong about all sorts of fast things until high speed photography revealed the truth.
Dip the tips of their wings in paint, place a vertically-scrolling-paper-machine with constant set speed next to a source of nectar. The bird will paint a wave on the paper and all you have to do is count the ups and downs per distance and convert it into flaps/second. Given the high speed of the flap all you need is a fraction of a second where their wings touch the paper. Give it a couple tries and you should have a good estimate of the flaps/second. Done!
One of the classic things we got wrong before photography is horses (and other animals) galloping. This can be seen in pre-photography horse racing paintings.
GAGAGGAGAGAGA I just saw something very UNPRETTY! I looked in the mirror! GAGAGAG!!! But I am the supreme RUclipsr of this generation so it is all wonderful! Thanks for listening, dear facterinoi
The eagle blinking was so cool, it got me intrigue. Have Gav and Dan ever filmed a dog drinking water? I've always been curious how they get water, and how much, with their tongues. I've tried and I don't get a lot, but my dog's tongue kinda looks like a thick spoon, so...?
We get hummers here every year and I am always super excited when they show up, raise their young and then depart in September for warmer climates. They are the most amazing animal to me just watching them hover and fly around is truly a gift. And the sword fighting they do is very common once others show up at the feeder. I have coined the term "Hummer Wars" when they get into fighting mode LOL
I can't help but compare it to swimming. The eagle looks like it's doing a weird butterfly stroke but the hummingbird is definitely sculling, which is why it can basically "tread air" if you like.
I like to see how the production value goes up between the youtube shows you guys do and your normal videos. There's a lot more sound effects and music and your guys' sentences are shortened to say the most information in the least amount of words. Good job team!
This is one of my favorite "informational" episodes so far, as I feel we got some actual facts from the expert. This is not a slam on the previous experts--I just don't feel like some of them were given enough of a chance to contribute to the conversation. This episode feels like an improvement.
That's some good idea, instead of staring contest we have a blinking contest Its the ultimate quest for seeking out the fastest because eyelid muscles are the fastest on your body
Humming birds have special tendons or muscles (I'm not sure which..possibly both)..that vibrate to create a resonance lift in the form of "flapping" the wings would disintegrate without these special adaptations in/on the wings that allow them to manouver like a u.f.o..true fact. Awesome videos guys...be safe. ✌✌✌

I'm really really enjoying this new format! I get 2 slo mo vids on one subject, and I learn about the subject after seeing amazing footage!
Click
The numbers I've always read about the speed of their flaps always have seemed outlandish to me but now I can see it with my own eyes. Amazing.
"the fastest stroke of any animal" I beg to differ 😂😂
Lmao!
Then beg
Maybe vertebrae but a mosquito is waaay faster

Gavin finally films something with a bigger beak than him
Disco Crisis Are you kidding me? His beak is bigger than the entire hummingbird.
You have to give it to Gav tho, even relative to body size it's not too far off.
Shots fired.
just wait until he films Zlatan Ibrahimovic.. now THATS a beak
Doesn't stop him from dating models though
This is one of the only youtube channels that didnt change with fame.... proud of you two
flapping around at the speed sound got places to go gotta protect my flower
Won't fly around, only one is enough
Stay out of my way or I will divebomb you
I apperciate this so much.
I'm loving this Planet Slow Mo! Cool footage and then you learn something new!

Gav: Oh it's just majestic isn't it?
Dan: I mean yeah the way my eyebrows are just so bushy and nice.
Gav: 7:12 - 7:14 :|

That bird video is perhaps the most gorgeous video I’ve watched on this channel. The augur hawk flying to the perch made me think, “this is what people depict angel wings after.”
Did they find the perch?
You'd expect the eagle not to be in such a rush about blinking given the see-through eyelids
Tom Chaney I can’t imagine those are as clear to see through as they’re claiming.
I take your point, however I could see it as being akin to looking through thin fabric or one-way mirrors, in that while it may look opague from the outside it is substantially easier to see through from the side without the light source.
I don't think they are completely clear, but they can still see through a bit
Its about keeping the eyes wet so they can continue to see.
Hummingbirds are the only vertebrate that can fly backwards. I'm enjoying this series very much.

Loving this new series, guys. Educational, remarkable, and hilarious! Keep it up!!
Compared to The Super Slow Show, this more low-key approach to a higher budget Originals series is exceptional. The guys are really in their element.
This actually gave me a lot of information on hummingbirds that i needed for my report lol
You guys are the best thanks for amazing slow videos
They’re just like little tiny fighter jets! :D
Nah, they are what fighter jets aspire to be when they grow up. ;-)
Now I kinda want to see a bunch of birds flying through the air with 'Danger Zone' playing in the background.
F-15 Eagle, not F-15 hummingbird lol, but they are a pretty cool bird..
Jets can't go backwards and up and down vertically on a complete effortless whim
I personally think humming birds are the cutest birds ever
Thanks to RUclips originals , slow mo guys are uploading more frequently...
This video was 🤩😯
I like how Gav shook hands with people this time... 😂
Makes you wonder how they measured things before high speed cameras.

love the humour and everything else.
Dan definitely lost that blinking contest, but the eagle was only about twice as fast, interesting that it was pretty similar timing.
You guys are doing insane things... no one ever thought about it...Thanks for your study

Unfapably fast

Im just really impressed by that Litepanels Sola 12, absolutely flicker free! And still quiet enough to have talent stand right beside it!
If hummingbirds were as big as ravens, it would be dangerous to walk in the woods.
Oh my God just the sound, let alone the literal spear.

How fast can a humming bird flap
Me: how fast can a humming bird fap
can we have a moment to appreciate how beautiful that golden eagle is ?
Not as fast as Karen when she took the kids
Ffs 😂
To be fair she did that before he could blink

This is one of the few channels I watch at normal playback speed.
05:00 For those who hate video milking for a small subject.
except that everything before that was also interesting/entertaining :)
I really love this new format you are doing. Keep it up.
Aren't birds amazing? 😄
I don’t know why but Gavin is like my favorite person in existence
Dang! The Hummingbird does 40-60 FPS (flaps)! Amazing! 😅
I know 😏 amazing right 😊
I did learn something awesome besides how awesome slow motions are on this episode! :)
*_6:41_**_ Are you sure about that?_*
I thought this channel was all bout slow motion... and here I got a fast forward scene as a starter of the explanations.
3:06 Looks like the Hawk is low enough to take advantage of ground effect here. Erakno-hawk!
I never thought the slowmo guys would have to speed something up
2:32
But you said that "everything looks good in slow Mo"
The expert actually helped out the video this time instead of just saying obvious things 👍
I hope that when planet slow mo is over, that you guys dont go back to posting only 1 video a year! We want as much slowmo guys as possible

He shook the guys hand 2 times so idk what ur on about
@@branimirgacina4 I should rephrase that, why doesn't he shake women's hands, check all previous videos, never shakes a womans hand once
He seems to shake the professional's hands, but rarely shakes the people running the whole thing's hands.
