It looks fun

That's pretty cool. I wonder what Gryffindor optics are like?

MRW my schlieren optics professor looks just like Zooey Deschanel:

Parallel light waves are emitted through the air onto a plane that shows the shadows being distorted by density variations (light refracts)

Because u didnt watch the slow mo version of it ur mind will appreciate this more on slow mo. :)
RawDogginChixSince2000Six
Where. . Where's the slow mo....

It shows disturbances in the air. Useful for things like aerodynamics research
Kazzack245
Can it show disturbances in the force?
Lucidalabbra
Just air or heated/hot air?
Gegenschein
Any kind of pressure differences that refract light. Sound waves, heat convection, supersonic shock waves
autopia
I understand some things now.
SirSparblington
which things
diggetydug
Its pretty though, huh?

What happens if you fart on the candle?

Light source near camera travels past object, bounces off parabolic mirror into camera. Changes in air density cause refraction, showing 1/
SomeWeirdGuyOnTheInternet
The air flows as darkened spots on the mirror. Nothing too complex.

Wasn't meaning to sound egotistic. I was always told when explaining something someone might find daunting you should that it isn't as 1/

Scary or complex as it sounds. This was a shit attempt at that, though, I see. 2

Did a good enough try. Just sourced it well

I think you should try. It could be entertaining.

You make an imperfect focal point of light by blocking it with a knife edge. The resulting cast of light reveals denisty variations 1/2

Similar to those you might see in the strange light distortion on pavement in a hot day.
