I want one of these!

A camera that can capture 4000 frames per second! I'd totally tape myself punching someone in the face just to see how cool it looked with all the ripples and stuff. :twisted:

If I ever get rich, I'm going to get one of those, and film people walking by with it, and attach a massive hard drive to it, and record every moment of every day, and have it like a webcam. And have a slow-motion microphone, too. And It would be called "Slow motion" And it would win art awards since people are stupid like that.

You want to set up a live slow-motion camera?

Yes. It'd be pretty cool (almost as cool as run on sentences).

I think there may be a slight problem with your plan :)

By the time he saves up enough money, time machines will be invented... so no worries.

What's the point of using it as a web cam if you aren't going to use it in slow motion?

Live... Hm. Yeah, that is a problem. How would that work, anyway? Could it... Hm. Yeah, oh well.

That looks pretty great, and I have a solution. It could jump to the current time every 10 minutes or so but still record everything so you could rewind if you wanted but still be relatively current.

It could just have a delay on it, I guess.

Just play it back at 4000fps and let people control the speed on their compys when they want.

You'd need like.... 5000 GB of RAM to be able run it, though.
