Corti Creare
Quick test of a tiny QEV cannon firing air at 12atm, viewed through a Schlieren setup (no razor blade). Edited from to 1/4th normal speed. I didn't quite understood the need for a razor blade but without one I still see the flow of air. For me, the razor blade just makes the dot of light smaller(?) If anyone can clarify me what the razor blade really does and where it should be placed (in the source of light or in the camera) I'd really appreciate. Also important to note that this is AWESOME to look with the naked eye but almost the dimmest light can blind you. I covered a tiny LED torch with aluminum foil and punctured a hole with a sewing needle, on the side! so that the LED doesn't bright directly through the hole. Take care with the eyes!!
After being left to rot in Dublin Bay Jabberwocky was in a very sorry state. Once out of the water we could see how bad things where with half the the gelcoat on the bottom of the yacht disappearing as the power hose removed the build up of marine life from the bottom of the boat. After a quick delivery trip up the east coast of Ireland Jabberwocky sat in idle for a couple of year before the team at Bottom Up Boats acquired with a plan to bring her back to her former glory. After stripping her back to bare fibreglass the team meticulously repaired and restored every inch of this Mumm 36. If you enjoyed this short video of the transformation why not relive the complete rebuild by watch all the rebuild videos linked below. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoCfFBA9IMV4aoN5OQImmPGJp6KWqzz8
