Instructional drawing needed (pilot chute in burble)

[peek 21]

I am in need of a line drawing of a skydiver with a pilot chute in the burble. (Ideally a student with a spring loaded "hot dog" style pilot chute, and with the pilot chute upside down or sideways.)

Second choice would be a skydiver with the wind flow and burble drawn as lines.

Third choice would be a good picture.

I have been using an example of "the burble" by telling people it's like the picture in their science book showing the wind flow around an object, but I am finding fewer people that have seen such a picture.

Why not grab a science book and scan the picture

How's yours doing?

??? Because I don't have a science book with a picture like that.

If you can do that then the whole skydiving instructional community can benefit, so please post anything you feel like creating.

If you are talking about a video or picture of a model of a skydiver in a tunnel complete with smoke showing the burble, then, ..... wow.

Visualizing turbulence under canopy would be more difficult, but anything you do that can help people understand that would be great too.

I think the attached image should fit the bill.

Go to skydivingmovies.com and search for Blue Peter. The clip you want is:

You have a choice of quality.

At 14:58 on the video his spring loaded pilot chute on his student rig gets caught in his burble then quickly clears.

Not the best overall video to show a student, but if you want video of a pilot chute caught in a burble, there it is, you could edit that clip to show without all the drama.

Hey, all of those look pretty good. I'll be able to use those, thanks!

I don't know how you are delivering your lesson but this very short clip I cut out of one of my AFF jumps may prove useful if you were possibly using a powerpoint presentation...

The proper .mpg file is only 1.3MB so if you do want it let me know and I'll email it.

Here is a low resolution picture of a PC getting caught in the burble in the real world.

If ya need a hi res printable version email me ad I will send ya one!
