At SciTech:05 at the Altrincham College of Arts we recorded a series of high speed videos during the Time day. A few of these videos are now online. The video camera that we were using took 1000 pictures every second - that's forty times more than a normal video camera! This gives us a completely new way of looking at some otherwise quite normal things - seeing life in slow-motion!

Exploding Bottle

A 2 litre pop bottle, half filled with solid carbon dioxide and half filled with water, exploding. As the water heats up the carbon dioxide it sublimes to form a gas, which takes up a much larger volume that the solid. The pressure soon gets too much for the bottle to hold in! Recorded during SciTech:05 in Manchester, UK
