Remember that time you accidentally dropped your phone in the toilet? Yeah, this isn't that. The Slow Mo Guys, those internet heroes of high-speed cinematography, are back and they're not messing around. This time, they're taking on the explosive world of, well, explosions – all captured in glorious slow motion with the help of some seriously impressive Phantom cameras.
Did someone say exploding toilets? You read that right. In their latest video, the Slow Mo Guys head to the Colorado School of Mines (because where else would you blow stuff up?) to unleash a chain reaction of destruction that would make Michael Bay proud.
Their arsenal? Everything from det cord and shock tubes to shaped charges and enough high explosives to make you wonder if they're secretly building a rocket. And the best part? They're not just blowing stuff up for the sake of it (although, let's be honest, that's pretty entertaining on its own). They're doing it in the name of science... and slow motion.
Ever wondered what a shockwave traveling at 2,000 meters per second looks like? Or how about a shaped charge turning a solid steel safe into swiss cheese? The Slow Mo Guys have got you covered. They break down the science behind each explosion, explaining things like detonation velocity, sympathetic detonation (sounds intense, right?), and the sheer destructive power of a well-placed copper jet.
But it's not all serious science talk. This is the Slow Mo Guys we're talking about, after all. They inject their signature humor into every experiment, whether it's Gavin's questionable fashion choices (no lab coats this time!) or Dan's uncanny ability to find the funny side of blowing up mannequins.
Speaking of mannequins, Doris and Frank, the Slow Mo Guys' trusty crash test dummies, make a triumphant return, only to meet a rather explosive end. Let's just say their retirement party was one for the books.
The highlight of the video? A massive explosion that sends a shockwave ripping through the air, engulfing everything in its path. It's a scene straight out of an action movie, only this time, you get to see every single frame of the chaos unfold in mesmerizing detail.
The Slow Mo Guys have outdone themselves with this one. It's a wild ride from start to finish, packed with mind-blowing visuals, fascinating science, and enough explosions to satisfy even the most pyromaniacal viewer. So, if you're looking for a video that's equal parts educational and entertaining, look no further. Just be warned: you might want to watch it with a fire extinguisher handy.

And if you're looking for more explosive content, be sure to check out their other videos. They've got everything from exploding watermelons to the world's slowest fire tornado. You won't be disappointed. Just maybe keep a safe distance from the screen. You know, for safety's sake.
