content: It had to happen, with all the (good)noise over in Test Equipment about the Flir E4, I thought I'd start a thread on good/bad/interesting/wacky thermal images... preferably your own images if possible!I'm waiting impatiently for my FlirE4E8 to arrive, so I have nothing to offer - yet.Any one else?

content: Actually I am expecting videos related to soldering, like how different tips and different contact points could make a significant differences, like does it over heat the component body ? Or effective trick where can flow the solder effectively while minimizing overheats, or showing wrong method that can ruin surrounding components when applying the tip too long and etc.

content: Was wondering whether this inexpensive electric blanket was working or not. The controller gets warmer than the blanket, except for one spot:

content: Well, here's some interesting things I've found...You can see the thermal reflection of the sun off the moon.You can also see aircraft quite clearly by their heat signature, as well as bats and flying bugs at night.The FLIR seems to be able to see the heat trail of meteorites entering the atmosphere... at least that's what it looks like pointing to the sky. Still trying to catch an image.We have two dogs, thermal imaging is an effective way of avoiding fresh doggy dumps on the lawn at night.Neat way of finding pine studs in the plasterboard walls.Still playing..

content: Quote from: nova1200 on November 26, 2013, 09:49:29 pmAccording to my know-everything friend, this is intentional. A point of higher temperature that contains a fusible link. If something goes wrong, it will fail first.

content: I like this kind of solution:with a cheap sensor, and some servos to create a resolution of 640x480 pixels.therefore, no 30fps, only 0.0083 fps :-)but interesting results:I always wanted to create something like that, mechanically attach a ir-thermo-gun to a tablet with the display just before the camera, read the temperature, and allocate that value on a 2D image using the accel/gyro sensors.
