Det Cord Shockwaves in 4K

[@rmdcade1717]

And the potential of the Super Slow Show series was fully realized. Visuals were fantastic, but to me the best part was seeing Dan drop the act and look sharp and capable in an area of expertise.

[@DankaDoctor185]

RMD Cade I agree, I feel like he could make a full series about the stuff he specialises in.

[@saint-cetacean]

Check out the way he talks through the way an HE fragmentation grenade works in their "HUGE BUILDING EXPLOSION AT 2500 FPS" (or whatever it was actually called) video from 4 years ago, more of the same professional level explanation.

[@santa1563]

make no mistake, Dan certainly has his...um...moments lol. check out some of the Dan stories over on rooster teeth. priceless. but yeah he’s still a pretty sharp guy. loved watching Gavin actually get dirty a few eps ago. just doesn’t happen enough imo.

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Manuel Rego ik couldn't agree more

[@ElliWoelfin]

These were filmed while ago all at once.

[@kolhed]

You guys are amazing! When Dan talks about stuff with military connection, he sounds like a expert. When Gav talks about high speed cameras, he sounds like a master engineer. When any of you talk about anything else, you sound like slightly daft toddlers I love you so much :P

[@kolhed]

That's what I get for commenting before seeing the part where Gav said: "Or! The camera blinked"

[@clockworkfirebird]

Dan changes tone when he's talking about explosives, it's super cool. :O

[@michelleross9782]

Dan, I am not British, but I just want to thank you for serving your country in the military. I now understand how you can withstand all the torture Gavin puts you through...

[@quetch2]

+MICHELLE ROSS Could already tell you're not british by the fact that you said 'thank you for your service'. As far as I know only americans say that.

[@Nathan-jz3tw]

British and my dad was in the RAF. I always thank his friends and anyone who's served in the forces, as it's such a selfless act, that I could never do myself.

[@michelleross9782]

I was born with several deformities that prevented me from serving like my families' prior 3 generations so I have always felt especially appreciative.

[@sir.bantalot5854]

+Sahaal_17 Why would it only be Americans that thank soldiers for their service? Also, I feel that I must point out that they never said "thank you for your service", they said "thank you for serving your country"

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Sir.Bantalot It's just sort of a very American thing to say.

[@pawl1092]

"It's like water" - This is exactly the reason game and film developers (like myself) use fluid dynamic tools to create "realistic" fire systems. In any given system where an element takes the path of least resistance against a competing dynamic, you'll notice a sort of style to its behavior among the chaos, regardless of the elements used. Which is what we're seeing here in the video. The mass of the elements you use may change, but the rules that govern remain the same. It's quite literally like using math as a universal language, since it's all rooted in the formulas of real world physics 👍

[@24pazman]

Best show on KZbin right now, hands down

[@chrisbrown113096]

24pazman it really is , been watching them for years and it's so awesome to see them get a mini series on KZbin!

[@chumban]

Who else thinks FPS vs FPS is the best episode of the super slow show

[@onedaxster]

I think so too because they're finally using a much better Phantom which is capable of achieving much slower slow-mo framerates than the 1000 in literally every other episode.

[@NoOne-sp6zi]

Yeah!

[@CelestinaakaClonaClox9999]

[@Beruen1]

Actually standing 50 or so feet away when it goes off is a crazy cool experience. Im in the Airforce version of Dans military career and we had a test day where they set some off near us

[@xXHydroDragonXx]

What? A shockwave compresses air. The compressed air refracts light differently than still air. That's the bubble expanding around explosions.

[@xXHydroDragonXx]

Seriously, age of the internet and people still can't be bothered to open a new tab.

[@modelllichtsysteme]

6:38 the best footage :)

[@TeaGamingPanda]

No doubt!

Play it back from that point at 0.25 speed. You can see the explosion slowly travelling under the water. Looks like a round spot light moving across the pond.

[@ashthetrash6457]

Shane Tapp I don’t know, but it looks cool

[@maheshjayakumar1767]

Yea it is I think

[@SwainixFPV]

It isn't a lens flare, it's the air making lightwaves behave differently because of the big pressure, transmitting light differently

[@frankmcgorman962]

The pink light just above and to the right of the main triangle is lens flare / internal lens reflection. If you watch frame by frame, you can see that it is a reflection of the main image. Flippin' cool.

[@Dorgpoop]

It might be the high pressure from the explosion changing the optical density of the air
