Happy Halloween from the Lab

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

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).
