Explosion
Just for comparison I filmed a small piece of the explosive that I am using to generate shock waves. Deflagration is defined as a combustion that progresses slower than the speed of sound. An explosion happens at a speed greater than sound.
As yo can see from this video the explosion is over at a much faster rate than the previous videos. With a shutter speed of 1/2000 I had no chance of catching the shock wave that I normally capture. To catch the shock wave I have to use my special flash which is 500 times faster.
Cheers.
