This is a longer video than I would normally consider posting, but it's well worth it. Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy, the Slow-Mo Guys, have always wanted to record electricity in slow motion, but thought it might be a bit dangerous. They are no strangers to danger, at least Dan isn't. He usually get to do the dangerous stuff. But this time, they are teaming up with Mehdi Sadaghdar from ElectroBOOM, who we know isn't afraid of being shocked. So they set up a way to photograph electrical arcs at 1,750,000 frames per second so we can really see what's happening. And as you can guess, we'll have plenty of hijinks along the way as Medhi and Dan get their share of jolts and Gav stays safely out of the way. Their pain is our gain. (via Digg)
Electroboom is most excellent. He's got a video of the meeting on his channel too.
ReplyDeleteThat was so cool.
ReplyDeleteCool, I learned what causes the mmvvmm - mmvvmm or arc path rising.
