Hey there! Thanks for sticking with me as a Patron! I want to make it worth your time, so please enjoy this ABSOLUTELY GIGANTIC download of SlowMo Pecan shaking footage. Believe it or not, it took over 2 weeks to process this footage. I'd love to know what you see in the footage! I can't say I've been through every single second of it yet myself! 4 hours is a ton of stuff!

On one close-up shot (I can't remember which one) I saw a bug fly out of a limb when it shook. This stuff is so fun to think about!

Here's the link to the whole folder:

Files Descriptions:

F1: Wide View of an entire pecan tree during a shake. It's an incredibly complicated and chaotic mechanical system. Notice how the limbs lift after pecans drop.

F2: A tight view of the limbs in the top of an "unshaken" tree. Tree vibrator was positioned at 0 degrees.

F3: A tight view of the limbs in the top of the same tree after the first shake. Tree vibrator was positioned at 90 degrees.

F4: Wide view of trunk deflection

F5: Tight view of trunk deflection with tape measure

F6: Tight view of a tri-cluster which didn't turn loose of the pecans.

F7: Tight view of a single pecan which broke free.

F8: Top-Down wide view watching pecans falling away.

F9: Beauty shot of the entire system. It's possible to measure delay trunk to pecan

F10: Up-looking shot of raining pecans.
