Now I understand why they ask people
not to use their cell phone in the plane.

Hi,
It was a quiet day here in Rochester, NY, USA and I was a bit bored so
I decided to simulate what goes on between the scanning action of the
sensor of the digital camera installed in the phone and the rotating
image of the airplane's propeller. Not having either a camera-phone
or an aircraft I resorted to my flat-bed scanner and a makeshift prop
made of the clear plastic protective disc that comes with a stack of
CDs or DVDs with masking tape "blades" stuck to the disc.
This is a "no words" status report ... maybe YOU can put words to it?

And this is the conclusion that I draw from the above improvised
experimental set-up.

... but I am open to alternative explanations! I may have it backwards
and reversed left to right or top to bottom, etc. ... ;)
cheerio,
andy
