Slow motion video of Flash powder rxn

metalresearcher - 27-5-2019 at 11:08

I made a slow motion (960 fps = 32x slower) video with my new Sony RX100M6 camera of a reaction of 3g KNO3 + 1.8g Mg powder.
This is interesting ! Very nice for such experiments. I was inspired by Backyard Scientist who even makes use of much higher speed (and much more expensive !) cameras.

Are there others who make such slo-mo videos of experiments ?

Hello,

Nice video, but next time try adding some powerfull light source to get the better quality.

Slow motion is great thing for scientists but unfortunatelly it is still too expensive for many people. I would love to have an edgetronic camera but its around 10-15k USD.
I mean, i could get many important things for the price of the camera.

Anyway, waiting to see more from you.

Best regards,
MJ.
