Water Balloon Meets NeverWet
Well I got my Edgertronic high speed camera Friday. the team that put it together was amazing, they did the whole build and delivered right on schedule. I got the camera up and running Friday night and was ready to try some experiments today.
So here is a water balloon falling onto a needle and hitting an antenna dish sprayed with NeverWet, the superhydrophobic coating. It's fun to play with this material, but I can think of no real world applications. It's just too sensitive to damage.
The frame rate was 1000/sec and the shutter speed was 1 milisecond. ASA 200 F/4 864X704.
I may try a few other things today, but the Santa Anna winds are blowing and it's just not very nice to be outside today.
Cheers.
