Get Dan back in another massive water balloon, but this time at the Colorado School of Mines or whatever it's called.

With this camera they could make a 10-day long video out of it.

Also, put some mouse traps in the balloon. And have Steve-O kick soccer balls at his head while the balloon travels down a skate ramp on a skateboard and everything sits atop a small nuke.

Fun fact, the thumbnail is the first 300,000 frames taken with the camera. ;)

Is this like that one that was able to film photons in slow by just filming a very short laser pulse at a slightly different time each frame? That was a cool concept, I’ll have to look more at this one

After skimming through the article and at the abstract and introduction of the article in Nature, it seems that unlike those technique you mentioned, this is really a single-shot real time imaging.

I’m not sure what you’re describing…. Is that like stop motion animation, but instead of moving the subject between captures, you just change the delay between firing the laser pulse and the shutter?

Yeah basically. It doesn’t try to record a single laser pulse interacting with the scene in one shot, but rather slightly adjusts its shutter offset to record another identical pulse in a slightly later position. Since the pulses are basically the same each time, the light will interact the same way with the stationary scene and you can reconstruct the movie from there. You can watch videos by searching 1 trillion FPS camera since that was how it was labeled by pop-science at the time.

If you play that many frames in real-time, it would make your eyes bleed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Good thing the human eye can only see 3 frames per second.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

You need to upgrade man, mine run at 420fps on balanced mode.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

30 I believe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I demand my monitor be as fast!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

And I can't find any video from it anywhere on the internet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thats like megatastic slowmo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That's geological scale slow motion.
