When I was in electronics class in high school, our teacher made some capacitors explode and it was one of the most amazing things I’d ever seen as an excitable 14-year-old with a great interest in electronics. What really amazed me about it was just how loud some of them were given their pretty tiny size. What didn’t impress me so much was the visual aspect, given that everything was offer in an instant.
But when you film that instant at 187,500 frames per second on the Phantom TMX7510, as The Slow Mo Guys, Gav and Dan, have done in this video, it shows a hidden beauty and power that happens far too quickly for the human eye to see. It’s fascinating to watch these things explode at a teeny tiny fraction of their normal timescale, and we see things that many of us would have never even imagined.
