Rich friend of mine bought one of those cameras for the fun of it the other day .... Pretty cool u can see ur footprints where u walk its nuts .... Their buyn up a bunch of houses around st aug and said it was for inspecting houses ... I thought he was just blowin money but it does show u leaks and stuff u wouldn't normally see ... He said he drove to Tampa and bought it from a dealer 1500 bucks or something like that .

Why is the engine that isnt running yellow/orange too?

[dumbnfun2]

Probly was running ... The camera still shows heat for a good while of ur foot prints and where u sat on couch ......

One thing that it does show is that thru prop exhaust is going to shorten gear oil life. She got pretty warm down there only at idle! Gary

I did a job with the DEA where they had FLIR in a helicopter and told us they found a hydroponic grow in an attic of a home they were watching. Got a search warrant, hit the house found the cloths dryer was vented into the attic. No Grow. Owners not happy:D

Nice waste of taxpayer money :nonod::nonod::nonod:

Hope the owners sued the $hit out of whatever departments involved

[vnemous]

They did. More taxpayer money spent.

At that point, it's more of "hopefully" a lesson learned in abuse of power and invasion of privacy

The thread going on the board where I found it is interesting. He has shown some other images on motors were he found problems and it really does appear to be a useful tool. Coolant leaks, hot cylinders, blocked water passages, etc.
