The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday this week in the United States is a great time to "Think Thermally" and have fun with your thermal imager. I’m sure many of you enjoy hanging out in the kitchen before the big meal, trying to steal a quick bite. This year, for those of you who have access to a thermal imager, consider bringing it along and taking a few photos. You might be amazed by what can be seen.
In our Level I Thermographic Applications training classes, we conduct a number of demonstrations using everyday items, many of which you might find in your kitchen. This approach to science is designed to take complex heat transfer principles and boil them down into easily understood concepts. That is, we focus on what the thermographer (not a professor or an engineer) should understand to be successful with the technology. This approach to learning, what we call "Kitchen Physics,” goes a long way in making that happen and the holiday kitchen can provide a target rich environment for discovery.
Here are a few images to help you Think Thermally this Thanksgiving. If you have any Thanksgiving related photos, post your best image here on IRTalk and we will select a winner who will receive a Snell prize.
From all of us at The Snell Group, have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
