A groundbreaking technology called 'virtual time freezing' developed by researchers at Jinan University in China allows scientists to see inside spinning engines and tools with clarity even at high speeds.
Traditional methods like high-speed cameras are expensive and may result in blurry images when imaging fast-spinning objects.
The new imaging system uses a single-pixel detector and structured illumination to project synchronized light patterns onto spinning objects, capturing clear real-time images.
This technology has the potential to revolutionize industries by enabling real-time monitoring of machinery such as turbine blades, cutting tools, and jet engine fan blades without the need to stop the machines.
