In summary, the conversation discusses the Wagon-wheel effect and its explanation through frame frequency and shutter speed. The discussion also touches upon conspiracy theories and the potential danger of helicopter blades.

How are we be being conned? Or did they finally invented anti gravity?

That was quick. It's just a matter of exactly the right frame frequency and a very short shutter speed. Of course it helps that helicopter blades move at a constant angular velocity.

I love this video, it brings out every half-wit to post conspiracy theories on the comments of youtube.

Looks like a good idea - having those blades spinning around must be dangerous!

Never realized the speed was that precisely controlled though.

Obviously this is a plot by the Russians to destroy America. Mother bear Russia is getting exactly what it wants by you looking at this video!
 

FAQ: Helicopter Trick: Conned or Anti Gravity Invention?

Is the helicopter trick real or just a con?

The helicopter trick is a con. It is not a real anti-gravity invention.

How does the helicopter trick work?

The helicopter trick works through a combination of cleverly placed magnets and hidden wires. The performer uses slight of hand to make it appear as though they are controlling the movement of the helicopter with their hands, when in reality, it is being controlled remotely.

Can anyone perform the helicopter trick?

Yes, anyone can perform the helicopter trick with the right materials and practice. However, it is important to note that it is a deceptive trick and not a real scientific invention.

Are there any safety concerns with the helicopter trick?

As with any performance involving flying objects, there is potential for injury if not performed carefully. It is important to follow safety guidelines and use caution when performing the helicopter trick.

Are there any real anti-gravity inventions currently in development?

As of now, there are no known anti-gravity inventions that have been scientifically proven to work. However, there is ongoing research and experimentation in this field, so it is possible that a legitimate anti-gravity invention could be developed in the future.
