Just wondering, can you doppler a turbine?
Wondering how fast this pass was on my Kingcat at the Princeton rally this weekend. I know the jet has been on radar at 235mph but I think this pass was faster, not sure. Can turbines be doppler'd? The pass is at 5:44 on the video.

You can dopler a turbine, but the music in this video is blaring making any dopler impossible it showed up as a bunch of noise on the spectrometer.
thanks anyway guys

Can someone explain where/how you doppler off a video?
Thanks.

Mike,
Thanks but now I feel even dumber.
Exactly how does this work? I have no idea and middle school science class isn't booting up in my hard drive all that well.
If you could educate a dummy I'd be appreciative!

Open up your compatible video file in Sony SoundForge,
Resample the whole file to 44kHz
get the part you want to doppler, copy and paste it into a new file with 44kHz sampling,
resample the new part to 11kHz for the doppler software (the less samples, the easier to identify the doppler shift)
save it as .wav format, open it up in doppler software
and voila.. very accurate readings..

The Windows sound recorder is under accessories, entertainment.
Place the microphone by your speaker.
While the video is playing you can record a short wav file starting it just before the aircraft reaches the camera during a close in level pass.
The recording should include the flight just before reaching the camera through just after passing the camera. Usually 2-4 seconds.
you can get the Doppler software at http://www.sprut.de/electronic/soft/scope.htm . (Goggle can translate to English)
There are several threads in this forum with info on this software.
