#PrimeVideoCreator Shaped charges are capable of smashing through a target at a speed of 10 Kilometres per second. Gav and Dan whip out the serious kit for this one. AD- Watch The Terminal List now on Prime Video: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HZ4BV5X
5 million frames per second played back at 25fps is the equivalent of slowing down 1 second of real time to over 2 days of playback.
Big thanks to the Colorado School of Mines for letting us back and for the use of their explosives and Shimadzu camera.

Why I should feel jealousy of such incompetence? it is basic knowledge within the industry and the military (demolition experts) about how the detonation train of a detonator works, it is very important to know this to safely set up charges and avoid misfires, here is not a big deal but in other circumstances could mean something serious like a demolition not going according to plan because an incorrectly placed blasting cap.

Hey, it's insane to realize that the speed of light is 3×10^8 m/s, or 30 cm/ns, meaning that with the 5 million FPS footing you could start to see the effects of the speed of light limit. You could actually build something to observe this effect. For example an array of mirrors at different positions, all reflecting the image of a unique explosive charge toward the camera. The image of the explosion would then appear at different times in the different mirrors due to the limit of the speed of light.

Interesting note: The SPACE between impact layers has been proven to be extremely effective in stopping stupidly fast impacts, as the space allows the shrapnel and debris to spread, effectively absorbing the kinetic energy of the projectile with each additional layer. This is, in fact, so effective in impact protection that a variant of this idea is used to stop micrometeorites from penetrating spaceships, something known as a Whipple Shield.

@seicbro9459 Жыл бұрын

Yeah so the first impact breaks larger projectile up into smaller pieces with more air resistance per mass. I mean that still wouldn’t make two 1 inch plates with 3in space between more effective that 5 inches of solid material, but 2 1-inch plates with space are much better than a 2 inch plate, and clearly cheaper, especially considering it’s expensive to send stuff to space.

@rubiconnn Жыл бұрын

Armored vehicles use this as well sometimes as AT rockets/missiles use this same principle to pierce armor. The "cage" armor you see is designed to either detonate the warhead farther away from the armor or if the fuse misses the slats it will break apart a portion of the cone shaped charge and it won't be a proper cone shape when it detonates. Another cool method is using ERA, or explosive reactive armor, where explosives are sandwiched between steel plates and when the shaped charge detonates, it detonates the explosive filler between the plates and effectively pushes back against the copper jet and hopefully dampen it or redirect it.

Indeed, a very shared opinion here. After actually finding a parking spot within a reasonable walking distance which is a supreme victory all in itself, I was overcome with the honor of actually being inside the school of mines bookstore.

Today they offer many more states than they did then to be sure and the prices are higher of course, but the honor of standing there in person was ever present. I've also stood inside Uncle Milty's Tackle Box store back when it was thing and bought some repair gear for my 170 abu garcia which I could not believe actually existed and they actually had it right there. OMG, the drag starwheel, I must have it - how much is that part? eBay serves that function today and uncle milty is long gone.

If anyone's curious about the 25 million Gs of acceleration explained at 6:50, this is how you calculate it. Dan explains that the copper jet accelerates to 10 km/s in about 40 microseconds - 40 millionths of a second - so the acceleration over this time is (velocity_delta/time_delta)/g where g is the gravity of Earth, or ~9.80665 m/(s²). In SI units 10 km/s is 10,000 m/s so the value is ((10,000 - 0) / (40 * 1e-6 - 0)) / 9.80655. This is approximately 25,492,905 or ~25.5 million Gs of acceleration.

@seanehle8323 Жыл бұрын

Which is worth noting, that is the average acceleration over that 40 microseconds. Any deviation means there must be lower and higher values of the acceleration within that delta-t. So that average is also a minimum. It experienced at least that much acceleration.

If the initial lateral G force is 0 because the charge is stationary, then in order to get an average of 25mil G's, there would have to be a value higher than 25mil at some point. Therefore we can say that the highest g force on the accelerating copper was AT LEAST 25mil G's. The minimum being referenced is the minimum highest G force within that 40 microseconds.

The point of a shaped charge is it is a directed charge. It makes a hole in whatever it was pointed at, and does minimal damage elsewhere. You just want a regular explosive. I saw a shaped charge used on the ground back in the 1970s. It made a hole about 12 feet deep, but only 2-3 feet wide. The other interesting thing about the hole was the complete lack of dirt anywhere. If you dig a hole that size, you wind up up a big pile of dirt next to it. This made a plume maybe 50' high, maybe even higher. The dirt all dissipated before it came back down.

The part that fascinated me most happened with the "plate plates". With each of the first few plates there clearly is a reduction of the pace at which the copper is progressing through the ceramic. But, as each plate is penetrated, pressure captured in the shock wave progressing from the previous penetration re-accelerates the material. That was completely unintuitive. It was as though a kind of shock tunnel had been set up, contained only by the air around the column of plasma and copper.

It bottle necks in each plate making the thickness of the plate act as a mini gun barrel kinda

Ever since that original video I have been so fascinated by shaped charges, I had heard of HEAT weapons and stuff but I had no idea the kind of physics that is used in the warhead to penetrate armour, then when Dan gave his explanation of what a shaped charge is, talking about the inverse jet etc I found it really interesting. Like I say, since then I've been thinking of what if the slow mo guys made a video about shaped charges, being able to see the jet form and penetrate things, so to see this video was insane. Seriously that 5 million FPS shot was mind blowing, that has to be never seen before footage of a shaped charge. I've seen computer simulations of them in ansys and things like that, but to see actual footage is crazy. What a treat! I love that this video shows how effective spaced armour is on tanks, how it can set off the charge with too much standoff or disperse the jet through layers of armour. When you consider it, makes sense why javelin warheads have a two stage shaped charge system to make absolutely sure that the main big one can do its job. Thank you Gav & Dan!

Thank you for doing more explosions!

When Gav said “thats the cream”. In my opinion what they have there is the holy grail of slow motion so far that shot was breathtaking

loved seeing Gav's brain break when Dan was talking about the speed of the detonators at 6:53 right after he was casually dropping 1mill plus fps numbers

I love this channel and really enjoy seeing a video that was shot in my backyard. Always loved hearing the teasting from my house in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Super cool to see you guys have been here!

That footage of the "smoke monster" going through the water may be my favourite footage you've ever captured.

I really enjoy how much "messing around" you did, like at 11:12 where you were just digging out pieces from a table to find out what they were, almost unedited. I love that stuff from longer videos like this.

This was absolutely fascinating! The 5M frames was incredible looking. To see how the charge goes off inside the cone was awesome!

@dragonpc8258 Жыл бұрын

that water shot was epic, the end of it looked like the water compressed to the point of a singularity at the bottom of the tube as the charge kept pushing pressure into the tube. amazing shot.

That was absolutely amazing and that last shot was incredible. Watching the shock wave go through the plastic and a mushroom shape of cavitation bubbles at the bottom was insane.
