Video tachometer vs Ellebogen

When the frame rate of a video matches the speed of a particular part, the effect is the same as using a strobe light. In the video, that part freezes. Since the frame rate of a video can be adjusted, this effect can be used to determine the rotational speed of a part. The smartphone must support slow-motion video recording (filming at a high frame rate). This is the case for all smartphones starting with iPhone 5S. The range is as follows: • 0.5—240 Hz (30—14400 RPM), for all phones from iPhone 6 onward • 0.5—120 Hz (30—7200 RPM), for iPhone 5S THE HERTZ (Hz) VALUE IS MORE ACCURATE THAN THE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) VALUE, SINCE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE ARE CALCULATED FROM HERTZ AND ROUNDING IS DONE. To get a clear image, good lighting is important. The clarity of the image is controlled by the exposure of the video (exposure time and light sensitivity (ISO)). If the exposure time is reduced, the image will increase in clarity, but brightness will lower. To increase the brightness, you need to raise the camera's light sensitivity (ISO), but then the amount of noise increases. You also need to manually adjust the focus of the camera. The app can record video. The video format depends on the selected format in the app settings. If your iPhone supports 4K video format (3840x2160), then you can record 4K video at the frame rate supported by your iPhone. Text with important information is added to the frames of the recorded video: the selected frame rate, exposure duration, ISO, time stamp, time difference between the current and previous frames (Tcurr. − Tprev.), the sequence number of the frame in the recorded video. If you want any other information to be added, then let me know. You can choose to add only part of this information, and you can choose a different text color. You also have the option of not adding any information. You can change the information that is added and the color of the text while recording a video. At high frame rates, frames that do not have time to be processed may be discarded. This does not affect subsequent frames and can be controlled using the time difference between the current frame and the previous frame (Tcurr. − Tprev.). Dropping frames affects the video frame rate displayed in the "Photos" app. But the time interval between frames that were taken one after another and were not discarded will correspond to the selected frame rate. Frames may be dropped even when shooting slow motion video using the "Camera" app. You can check this by looking at the frame rate for slow motion video in the "Photos" app. Video containing the app's interface can be captured using the iOS "Screen Recording" function. The app can take a photo with the measurement result, date, and time written on the photo. The exposure time and ISO settings will be saved in the photo's metadata. To take a photo that shows the app interface, tap the "Pause" button and take a screenshot. It is possible to choose a video format that has the best quality, but has a significantly lower maximum frame rate. The difference between the formats is clearly visible only when using the digital zoom. Also, when using a format with better quality, the Rolling Shutter effect is stronger. Therefore, the best quality format can be used at speeds less than about 2000 rpm. You can turn on hints for easier observation of changes in rotation speed. Hints show how to change the frame rate (decrease or increase) depending on the direction of rotation of the mark. The hints are selected manually, but then you do not need to remember this information. The hints are relevant for frequencies close to the rotation frequency. If the direction of rotation of the impeller is known, hints can be selected in advance. The arrow showing the direction of rotation of the impeller must correspond to the "+" button. The video tachometer measures the rotational speed in exactly the same way a stroboscopic tachometer would.

ELLEBOGEN app is a good tool that helps Sailboat and leisure boat owners to solve vibration problems on their marine engines. This tool can help on the following areas. 1.- Finding the exact idle speed of your engine. Tachometer panels are often unprecise. This app lets you measure the vibration of your engine using the internal accelerometer of your mobile phone. Below a presentation of the vibration measurement results. Each peak indicates the vibration orders of the engine. The higher peak is the firing order. This peak will allow us to know the rpm’s of the engine. The firing order of the engine is obtained by dividing number of cylinders by 2. For example a 4 cyl engine the firing order is the number 2, If the engine has 3 cylinders, the firing order is the 1.5. Lets imagine that you have a 3 cyl engine, once you have done a vibration measurement using the Ellebogen App, you find that the highest peak is at 20.06Hz. If we divide this result by the firing order (1.5) we will get 13.37Hz (802rpm) , This is to say: 20.06/1,5=13,37 Hz 13.37x60= 802rpm. 2.- Select the engine mount. Based on the measurement, weight of the engine and % of isolation that we want to achieve at idle, the app can select the correct marine engine mount for the application. 3.- Measure the performance of the marine engine mounts. Using the Ellebogen external accelerometer, the app allows you to measure the performance of isolation of your current engine mounts. ELLEBOGEN™ application engineers are the developers of this APP. If you need further assistance, our team of vibration isolation application engineers are at your service. IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THIS APP: SIMPLE: This app is easy to use.
