Slow-mo Video clips.
Remember those videos of milk drops splashing into crown-like effects? Here's a library of clips just like that...

From an artistic standpoint: I find the water drop vidoes to be very pleasing to the eye; interesting visual patterns and textures are often created in high speed collisions (especially with fluids).Mrs Kendall wrote:Wha? These videos are silly. What's the point?
From a more scientific standpoint: High speed imaging is very useful for understanding deformation mechanics, collision mechanics, fluid mechanics, wave mechanics, biolocomotion, etc that take place at time intervals too short to be seen with the eye or conventional video. Being able to visualize these fast events and correlate observations with known theory is somewhat useful.
Maybe most of these examples are for demonstration purposes?
Thanks for posting them!Warspite wrote:Remember those videos of milk drops splashing into crown-like effects? Here's a library of clips just like that...

I think the coolest high speed video clips ever has to be the x-ray sequence of nuclear fireballs at the moment of detonation. It expands as a perfect sphere until instabilities take hold, then it deforms into the most surreal shapes as it consumes everything in its path.
