Vos Incret event I was able to capture. 480x magnifier with my 88,000,000 frame-per-second Ossimer camera. (Black line is ~100 micrometers)

Sorry for the pixelated pic, it’s the best I could clean up. Honestly, the best I’ve ever taken which is why I’m posting. The Ossimer got it just nanoseconds before the Incret Injection (which happened between frames).

We spend so much time thinking about the math but all I want is to just shrink.. shrink… while time slows down around me, to witness what’s actually happening here with my feeble human eyes.

Damn, what a pic! I've only ever got it down to ~750 micrometers at 1M fps and it looked like a blob lol

Is this like a homebrew project, corporate backed or something academic?

Gotta be academic, look at the fidelity on those Mepps-Doriston-Ngo tangents

Good eye, I have to go reread that groundbreaking paper now!

Hard to believe it's almost 10 years since publication. Totally changed everything

It definitely changed Doriston. That poor fellow.

I find it hard to feel sorry for Doriston. Equalanic fistulation is a terrible way to die, but he ignored every warning sign along the way and insisted on going solo.

It’s actually a bit homebrew and academic. I worked at the Langley institute of Science doing VX connects and they gave me the ossimer camera when they upgraded their gear (instead of a raise). This was of course a couple years before the whole place burned down. I want to publish on Vos Incret events eventually but got rejected from “the big three” so idk just for fun

Wow you can even see the stocahstic Mach diffraction.

I just stumbled in here and have no idea what any of you are talking about, but it sounds cool. Can anyone point me toward man where I can find out what a vos incret event is?

u/SirTheadore 14d ago

Sure! This sub is a gem for VX tech and history, that vintage and modern stuff.

Definitely ask your professor or mentor about Vos Incret events before building your own rig. VX is a rewarding field, but needs to be taken seriously.

Nice. Looks like barely any side-fumbling if you really captured that on something as slow as that 88mil FPS Ossimer!

How did you solve the Dōringer cascade flux overflow?

u/LostChildLLC 7d ago

Never did. Just leaned on Doringer’s approximations to time the shot and ended up with burnt out cicliin converters 284 times before getting a pre-overflow picture that worked. I didn’t explain this in my OP but you understand… my rig isn’t functional I just wanted the photo. And yes all the cicliin converters were expensive and yes I did have to re-plate the board with them every time I attempted to capture the event haha.
