ChrisD Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It turns out the photo stitching software really struggles with this application but here are some more images taken with my thermal imaging camera you may enjoy. If you have any question about any of the images, camera, car etc then please feel free to ask :) First Image: Engine Bay, you get the jist but the stitching got a bit confused as it is actually many many images Second Image: Exhaust, note the center exhaust pipe may look hotter due to the difference surfaces, i.e. becuase the center pipe is more rusty it has a higher emissivity meaning it has a better ability of emitting its temperature as infrared energy meaning it looks hotter in comparison to an object of the same temperature with a low emissivity (such as shiny and polished metals) Also not the reflections apparent in some sections. Third image, outside view, the sun has been on my car all day, you can see the shadow on the car and also note some reflections. Fourth image, as third. I think they look beautiful ! 3
savage bulldogs Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Nice pics bud I've always wondered if the coolant pipes that run over the air box warmed the intake air . by the look of the first pic they do ,As they're seems to be a area of red near the maf
ChrisD Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 That may be able down to Sun on that side, but yea same with the duct sat on the radiator that's hot :)

ChrisD Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 If you have the tools why not use them! and the main reason is I have been asked to do more images for a large online car news "thing" so keep your eyes peeled if you see my images else where !
ChrisD Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Why didn't you order it from me!! I could have gotten you a better deal :)
Tidgy Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 cool pics. Just out of interest typicly how much are the cameras?
Gambit Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I think he said the one he has was about 17k from memory or you can pay upto that [emoji15]
ChrisD Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 That's for the camera I used, they start around 800 pounds and go up, the more you pay the better the quality :)
quit Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Why didn't you order it from me!! I could have gotten you a better deal :) I'm not the boss , ended up spending 12k bosses money on a marketing gimmick lol
ChrisD Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 They have a model under 300 that clips onto an iphone but you can't measure temperature and the quality is terrible
ChrisD Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Well When you are easy for the next one, you can put my name forward :) we also offer very competitive calibration checks for the cameras
