What we have here is a failure to communicate. "Failure to Communicate" Cool Hand Luke The digital camera displays that lack of communication between what is observed and what is recorded. Unlike incandescent bulbs that hold heat from past history on the filament, florescent and noble gas tubes shown actually pulsate in time rapidly 120/sec in their light transmissions. This means that when a digital camera goes "off synch" from the actual illuminating discharge happening in time in its recording/ it then begins to take pictures near the zero voltage AC crossing point of it's perceived pulsation. The point here is that a stationary magnetic field in the form of a ceramic magnet recording the voltage in time from a seriesed bulb in that load from the source from MOVING air borne free magnetic fields induced by air core magnetism will show this discrepancy in time by observation from camera recording. Here in this recording chopped to show relevant parts the longer helium bulb has about a 16 second on/off cycle of discharge observed from camera compared to a shorter 12 2/3 sec cycle time made by a 4 inch neon load connected in parallel. Here we can also ask the observer to watch the "wagon wheel effect" shown in the John Wayne episode of Stagecoach. I was amazed to see the camera recording opposite rotation of wheels towards each other because of the stroboscopic effect of camera recording. But then I saw the back wheel was larger then the front one, explaining why two separately connected pictures in time could show opposite rotations relevant to each other! Then apparently the same thing happens here a longer higher ignition bulb shows a different cycle time of recorded discharges then the shorter one. Thus as the president says; I have now replicated the wagon wheel effect from the old days in the modern days with a digital camera.
