Epic to see the shockwave bounce off the ground

[@adamiaizzi7817]

I believe that’s one of the reasons they typically use an air burst: the combined effect of the shockwave and the shockwave’s reflection maximizes the overpressure.

[@Beyondthepress]

The shockwaves turned out really nice, we managed to guess height of the pole pretty well 😄 You should also check out this weeks press video, there is good mystery frame from high speed camera to solve kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKvmWpujK57Z5Y

Where the reflection crosses the main pressure wave, that is called the "Mach Stem". Beautiful footage.

[@highflyerl23]

Exactly! So cool!

[@Sharklops]

In the second blast it's awesome to see the dust come off the tree in slow motion. Really does look like some nuke footage I've seen before

[@sperzieb00n]

and in a real nuclear explosion that wouldn't be dust, but smoke from things burning and being vaporized by the initial burst of radiation

[@chri-k]

@@sperzieb00n Nuclear weapons generally try to release as little short-wavelength radiation as possible in the initial blast because it is a waste of energy that could have gone into a bigger blast radius. They do however produce a lot of heat, which does instantly incinerate everything.

[@ScoutSniper3124]

I've been in the blast radius of several IED's. My worst injuries came from a 122mm rocket warhead that was detonated approximately 10 Meters from me. It turned out to be a White Phosphorous shell. The blast hit my left side, and it felt like someone decked me with a roundhouse kick. I remember going gray for a few seconds and coming to with the trees and bushes around me on fire, and acrid smoke making it hard to see. My immediate concern was for follow on fire, which the Insurgents in Iraq had a habit on doing on occasion after a blast. My Squad Leader and I both laid prone, guns out, with one arm patting down my body checking for blood or heaven forbid something missing. I was burned across the left side of my face, and my left forearm where my sleeve was rolled up. After a minute or so, we got back up and with the help of fellow Platoon members got back to our HMMWV. The Medic gave me a quick check and an icepack to help with the burns. One of the Soldiers got hit worse than us, and he went to render aid to him. I lost quite a bit of hearing permanently on my left ear. I consider myself lucky that the shell wasn't an HE (High Explosive) because at that range it would have shredded all 3 of us. So all things considered it was a "Good Day". ___________________ Another blast I remember distinctly was on Route Irish (the main highway between the Baghdad Airport and the Green Zone). I was in the turret position when an VBIED (Car Bomb) went off a couple hundred meters in front of us. The blast force was enough to knock me into the back of the turret. We were the first unit to arrive on scene, really in a matter of seconds. There were a couple armored Mercedes ripped apart that belonged to a British contractor (we learned later on), and several civilian vehicles riddled with shrapnel and burning that were collateral damage. One of the civilian vehicles was a white station wagon. It was torn to hell and burning. The driver was dead still sitting behind the wheel. Off to the side another body was smoldering. As some of our Platoon came up to her, she was able to speak long enough to identify herself as an American. Her name was Marla Ruzicka, an Aid Worker who was in Iraq helping people hurt by the war. She was so badly burned that when they lifted her to the stretcher, much of her blonde hair stayed melted to the asphalt. She was the first to be Medevaced out but died during the short helicopter ride to the hospital. ___________________ Explosives are fun to watch, and if you're careful fun to use.

[@dudoklasovity2093]

awesome! at 4:57 you can even see the formation of Raleigh’s wave (when the original and the bounced shockwave make positive interference). Same way it works for A and H bombs (that’s why they were detonated above the ground- maximize overpressure minimize radioactive fallout). With nuclear devices the pressure impulse is bigger than regular HE)

[@vaatvattamus6633]

[@jackieking1522]

That was really interesting.... reminds me to be at least 4km from the next nuke blast.

[@Beyondthepress]

This is missing the heat so you might want to up that to 10km :D

[@travisk5589]

You want to be in the "Strong but pleasant " range away from the blast

[@Henning_S.]

Even in 10 km distance you probably want to be behind some sort of cover which provides some sort of protection from the radiation.

[@ddrr5988]

@@Beyondthepress Perhaps a thermal camera next time? Awesome work.

[@ninjafruitchilled]

@@ddrr5988 I believe the heat vs pressure scale differently. So while this is an accurately scaled simulation for the pressure of a nuclear weapon, the heat emitted is proportionally much less. I.e. at 4km from a 300kt nuke you will get your skin melted off, and clearly that kind of heat isn't generated in this simulation. So I don't think a thermal camera will show a lot. EDIT: see e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHPWgKBqrdSEqZo for heat effects. Things get torched instantly by the thermal radiation travelling at the speed of light, then the blast wave comes through later.

[@xandergross8474]

Perfect visualization of the Mach Y stem effect formation after the incident shock reflects from the ground to form the secondary shock.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

That Mach Y Stem effect was fascinating to see on a TNT test! One of the reasons airbust is used, the reflected shockwave off the ground meets with the main unobstructed shockwave and they reinforce each other thru constructive interference. Neat stuff.

It's cool to see the unintuitive things in the highspeed too, like the Volvo's windows actually blowing TOWARDS the explosion instead of the to same direction as the shockwave is travelling, I don't know anything about anything but I'd say it's because of the exsplosions "sucking" all the air around the area. Also I htought I saw another blast wave but turns out it was the shadow of the only blast wave on the hill behind.

The tree and car slow mo shot was reminiscent of the famous nuclear test video with the trees flipping forward then back, great work!

[@Deltarious]

The one thing that is nearly impossible to reproduce is the ball of plasma that a nuke creates within which, and even close to which most things are vaporised, even fairly large amounts of steel are boiled away in an instant (but it is not magic and perhaps more than a lot of people think survives in terms of pure material, (there was a great test with steel spheres spaced from a blast to show this), even being somewhat close to it can be enough to cause 3rd degree burns. So very close to the epicentre you get a totally different blast effect than any other type of weapon which is one of the things that makes them so hard to simulate
