Vomitrocious Climber Video

Written by Tom Nugent on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

As we mentioned before, helicopter testing for the power beaming competition went very well last weekend. We had a sacrificial dummy climber (dubbed the “Red Shirt array”) that we clamped onto the cable. There were two cheap cameras mounted on it, one pointing up and the other pointing down, to record the flight.

I’ve combined and synced the two videos. “Vomitrocious” is how some people described them individually. See what you think when they’re combined (but be warned, the spinning might make you a bit dizzy)!
