Apex up for grabs..........anyone want?

Apex vs. video

610 BPM is 10 Bounces per second. Video runs at 30fps and some internet video can go even 15fps. <br
But when you get video compression, streaming and even de-interlacing involved, that could mess up the whole thing <br
I have video in DV format of Robert's Multimatic and on my TV I can see it pulsate just like I was standing there.

<i>If the tub bounces at 610 BPM, do you think you will have the same trouble making a movie of the Apex operating as you do the Pulsamatic, i.e., the tub bouncing too quickly to be adequately captured on video?</i <br
I'm not sure Peter, but I will to play with the video controls to get some accurate videos. I might have to have larger files for the DSL/Cable crowd.

 

[jasonl]

Go at least 256k WMV, 768k preferred. I have access to high speed so bring it on. Can you post a whole cycle on Youtube or Google Video?

 

[jasonl]

Google video

Record the whole cycl <br
Convert to 768k WM <br
Upload to Google video <br
Post the link <br
O <br
Upload it as an mpeg2 or DivX file so we can download directly and burn it to a DVD.

Google Help

I Don't Think So

YouTube has a 10 minute limit on all videos Jason <br
Uploading an 30 minute MPEG2 would blow our bandwidth usage out of the water and probably get us temporarily shut down

Google

You can upload it to Google. Let them host it.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Jason, try a full cycle and let us know what happens.

Robert, that is such awesome news. I'm excited that you finally found your dream machine after 10 years, and an early model as well! 2006 has sure been a great year for new finds. Good luck!

 

[jasonl]

Robert. I will. I think you can upload large files to video.google.co <br
Austin, 2006 is a good year, now where are all the late 60s Belt drive Kenmores hiding

Update on the Apex Wash-a-Matic

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the Apex. I spoke to John tonight and he is doing well after his surgery and he is now recuperating at home. He and some friends are coming to Minneapolis over Labor Day weekend and will be driving the Apex out then. I'm looking forward to meeting John and seeing my dream machine come true after all these years. Pictures to come as soon as the machine arrives here.
