Shooting Eggs at 1 Million Frames Per Second

🥚Shooting eggs at high frame rates provides stunning slow-motion footage of the impact and behavior of the bullets.

💥At higher frame rates, the slow-motion footage reveals the wobbling and tumbling motion of the eggs after impact.

🔫The bullets create shockwaves and turbulent airflow, resulting in visible shadows and mist on impact.

🌪️The slow-motion footage captures the shape of the bullet, the rifling, and the turbulent airflow behind it.

🌟The video demonstrates the capabilities of the Phantom TMX 7510 camera, which can capture up to 1 million frames per second.

What frame rates were used in the video?

—The video starts at 10,000 frames per second and gradually increases to 1 million frames per second.

What camera was used to capture the footage?

—The Slo-Mo Guys used the Phantom TMX 7510, the fastest camera in the world at the time, capable of capturing up to 1 million frames per second.

What details can be seen in the slow-motion footage?

—The slow-motion footage reveals the wobbling and tumbling motion of the eggs after impact, the shape of the bullet, the rifling, and the turbulent airflow behind it.

What interesting effects are visible on impact?

—The impact creates shockwaves, shadows, mist, and an upward splash. The bullet's shockwave can be seen casting a shadow and bending light as it travels.

What is the resolution and exposure time of the footage?

—The footage was captured at a resolution of 640x64 pixels using pixel binning. The exposure time was 500 nanoseconds.

00:00The video begins with the hosts, Dan and Gab, introducing the experiment of shooting eggs at high frame rates.

00:38They start by shooting the eggs at 10,000 frames per second and gradually increase the frame rate to 1 million frames per second.

01:42The slow-motion footage reveals the wobbling and tumbling motion of the eggs after impact, providing interesting visual effects.

05:30The hosts discuss the appearance of shockwaves, turbulence, and mist on impact, as well as the shape of the bullet and the rifling.

08:40They adjust the camera settings to achieve a resolution of 640x64 pixels, allowing them to shoot at 1 million frames per second.
