Happy Halloween from the Lab

We decided to play around with our phantom V12 highspeed camera while testing subfreezing ballistic carving methodologies.

Would you like to replay the video or share the link to it with your friends?

This poor pumpkin was dropped from a 20′ person lift, after being soaked in liquid NO2 for half an hour.. one very chilly pumpkin.   As the video shows, not just the skin of the pumpkin was frozen.  The entire core of the pumpkin was frozen solid:  around 77 degrees Kelvin (-321 degrees F).

    Very cool!!! Still amazes me every time I see something shot in high-speed… What about freezing a set of billiards balls and leaving the cue ball normal and breaking the rack???? just throwing it out there, i bet the physics of it all would be nothing short of spectacular…
