Post by freiman the minstrel »

this is a 4000 frames per second breaking video. I thought that a lot of us would be interested.

That is really cool. I would have never thought it would move about like that.

You can actually watch the impact shockwave travel up the arm.

That was pretty cool.

All that moving probably has quite a bit to do with why he doesn't break his hand on the strike. I thought the shockwave up the forearm was pretty bizarre. Makes sense, but being able to see it like that... wild.

Now we need footage like that with weapon strikes :twisted:

I think it's amazing that you can see the shockwave travel across the brick.

I think we're seeing dust disturbing across the brick surface - shockwave is causing the disturbance, but it's not like the brick itself is waving.

I think....


Photography like that is amazing, period.
