FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

It looks like a scene out of the Matrix as this picture captures the moment a speeding bullet flies through a water drop.
But it is the work of a retired police officer from the Catskill Mountains, north of New York, who built his own device to take bullet-time photographs… all so he could win a $50 bet.
After months of trying to out-do other enthusiasts, Denns Havel decided to try to capture the perfect shot of the speeding bullet.
Precision: Retired police officer Dennis Havel created his own device that allows him to capture the exact moment a bullet flies through a falling water droplet
The divorcee spent two hours
perfecting his device, which allows the drop to fall, bullet to fire and
camera to flash all at the press of a single button.
The
63-year-old said: ‘For a couple of years it’s been a challenge to
capture a water drop splashing, it’s very difficult to do because it
falls so quickly.
‘I’ve been
a member of the Nikon Cafe forum and amongst several of us we developed
a friendly challenge to see who could do a better water drop photo.
‘I blindly made a statement saying I am going to shoot a water drop with a bullet.’
Moment of impact: This shot captures the initial hit as the speeding bullet hits the water at 850ft a second
Bet: Mr Havel calculated the timings he would need to capture the bullet down to 20,000ths of a second
Blink and you’ve missed it: The water droplet explodes as the bullet passes through it
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
A) 12vDC valve releases the water droplet , it passes through an infared sensor which starts the clock on the intervolometer
B) The intervolometer (silver box) is activated by the droplet passing through the infared sensor, which then triggered the gun and the flash
C) The gun is mounted in a machine vice with adjustable x-y axes which allows for precise targeting adjustments
D) The cameras shutter is kept open in a dark room during the process so the flash entirely lit the collision.
E) Precise calculations are used to measure exactly when the drop and pellet arrive at the same point. The whole process takes 28 milliseconds
The grandfather-of-two used mathematics and physics to calculate the timings down to 20,000ths of a second.
Using infra red detectors, when the drop is released it breaks a beam which starts a sequence in a timer module for the shot.
Mr
Havel said: ‘Once the falling water breaks that beam, it starts the
timer and I’ve pre-calculated how long it will take to drop 13 inches.
‘I
have the timer set so it fires the flash a couple of thousands of
seconds after the drop is released so it fires when the drop is in the
middle of the frame.’
But it is getting the handgun to fire at the right time that is the difficult part.
‘The gun fires at 850ft per second and the problem is when do you pull the trigger to get the buller to fire into the middle of the drop,’ he added.
Since taking up the hobby, Mr Havel has spent thousands of dollars on high-end equipment and his latest project has been viewed thousands of times.
