It would be great if I could point something at a noisy machine and find out precisely which panel is loose and vibrating!


Really? Would it be "great" enough that you'd pay for such a device? If so how much? (would love to continue over email)


Looks like it's found use in automotive applications for tracking down NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) issues.

I’d definitely pay for it. Though I’d use it outdoors in the woods to see where birds and other critters are hiding. Though I reckon the noise will pose a challenge.


Yes. Email sent ;)


There was a thread on here a while back where people would set up cameras and be able to make a motion image showing what parts moved with a regular frequency. Was being used at factories to determine points of failure via vibration. Can't find the thread now though.


Aha, it was a video by Steve Mould: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEoc0YoALt0
