Cool, I've made and broken those in a glassblowing class and didn't know they had a name.

1650 m/s is a high fraction of the combustion speed of det cord.

Even at 130Kfps, that moved pretty quick.

I've seen something about this not to long ago, but not with all the science, and not with high speed photography.

That was trés cool!

I think ITLX det cord is about 8k meters/sec

I remember back in the old timey days when 1000 frames/sec at 1kx1k resolution was a HUGE deal. I bet he as some sort of deal going on with Phantom. Those cameras are expensive, and even to rent one can be thousands a day easy for the good ones.

Very cool. This knowledge will not likely bring me any material benefit, but it was fun learning.

[mrlynn]

Interesting. But the host is very annoying.
