Water Balloon Collision 2


Download Clip (302 Kb)

Like the previous clip, this shows just how much a water balloon-like object can deform when it collides with the ground. In this clip, the water toy hits the ground with it's smaller side. This causes the whole tube to compress into a very short cylinder, and then spring back up. Like the other one, this video was shot with a framerate of 2000 frames/sec and a shutter speed of 5X, or 1/10000th of a second.
