d Motion Analysis Camera capable of taking up to 40,500 digital frames per second. The Kodak 4540 records the images to DRAM memory allowing immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing, recording to videotape or to PC for analysis. The Copper Vapor laser acts as a short duration flash emitting pulses of only 30 nanoseconds in duration in full synchronization with the frame rate of the camera The flashes have the effect of reducing the exposure time of the camera, thus removing image blur due to the high speed of the subject under view, whilst maintaining image contrast due to the high intensity of the laser light. Another feature of the system is the ability to focus down the light. This has two benefits. The first is the ability to make laser light sheets for the 2 dimensional illumination of 3 dimensional subjects. This technique has great benefit when used to map the air flow into the combustion chamber of a running model engine. Not only can the air-flow be mapped but the progress of the flame front growth during the combustion cycle. The second is the ability to shine the laser light down a fiber optic cable. This aids in the illumination of areas of the running engine very difficult to access by normal optics. This has been particularly useful in the study of air motion in a variety of combustion system concepts.
The group plans to use the Copper Vapor laser to improve the ability of the technique to see these vibrations and therefore allow a better understanding of the cause of them. The technique could also applied to look at the airbag enclosure as it tears and composite materials under dynamic crush testing.

When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued.
On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.
England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon.
We still have it today, and perhaps it is worth a lot of money.

You stare at waterfall for a minute or two, and then shift your gaze to its surroundings. What you now see appears to drift upward.
These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpreting what must be happening—that your brain must have moved, not the other; that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion.
The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles away.
Color vision in each eye comes from six to seve
