Flatulence on an infra red camera

I am stunned.

It's a guy holding a can of computer duster upside-down and pointing it behind him. Either that or he has freezing farts and somewhat different anatomy to the rest of us.

I thought that black meant cold as well, fooled again.

I think some IR cameras can be reversed. White = hot, Black = cold to white = cold, black = hot. I've seen some military videos of Apaches and A-10's switching camera modes to try to pick up targets.

As for the video, it kind of stunk.

yep, fake. If that "gas" was the same temp as his body, it wouldve been the same color as his arms.

Also, thats a pretty good spray pattern for being filtered through his pants and whatever underwear he had going on there...funny, but fake.

The colors can be flipped, white hot is better is some environments, black hot better in others. However, it is always consistent in the same picture. Here the person (hot) is white and the fart (should be same temp) is black, so yeah, probably duster or something.

The "false-color" image is up to the thermographer and the software used. Choosing the palette, setting the span and level, inverting the scale - all ways to make the items of interest stand out.

Here's a time lapse of my Slant Six, in color!.

I go with big SBDs, not trajectory.

YMMV.

I suspected foul play with the volume and velocity of the gas... The volume may be physically possible, I suppose. We do exist in a world with Chipotle.

There are people out there RIGHT NOW trying to cure cancer, and we've congregated to argue the validity of an "Infrared Fart video".

no way

YES WAY, TED!

not available for mobile. dern. :)

Obviously faked. As shadowsix pointed out, his skin is warm, so white is hot in this case. Farts were black. Nobody makes cold farts.

Cancer is tragic and affects far too many people. However, flatulence affects us all. If no medical researchers will take up the call, it then falls to us to address these questions!
