Abstract
A handheld infrared camera was used to visualize heating and cooling of
magnetic brakes in drop towers and roller coasters. The images also
display the cooling effect of trees and the warming effect of clouds.
This paper discusses what can be discerned from the photos with
connections to data from data sheets, as well as from accelerometer and
barometer sensors. The heating and cooling processes were also studied
using the hot point feature of the FLIR One Pro LT camera attached to a
smartphone.
