    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

    • @tomchaney6085
      @tomchaney6085 5 лет назад +5

      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.

    Makes you wonder how they measured things before high speed cameras.

    • @valdamjong
      @valdamjong 5 лет назад +77

      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.

    • @IanAtkinson555
      @IanAtkinson555 5 лет назад +27

      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.

    • @chrissa1896
      @chrissa1896 5 лет назад +26

      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!

    • @IanAtkinson555
      @IanAtkinson555 5 лет назад +17

      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.

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.
