Modern Binary Explosives

If you thought you were afraid to fly before well get a load of this clip. Just one drop of binary explosive hidden in a pen is enough to vaporize a watermelon.

Mercedes Benz CLR 1999 Le Mans flip

This is one of the special menouvres that were performed by the Mercedes CLR's a number of times at Le Mans in '99
It was an experiment by the Mercedes race team HWA, which involved overtaking by going over competitiors instead of risking a collision by going around them
This manouvre was intended to be undertaken only at the end of the Mulsanne straight
Although a pre-race attempt by Australian driver Mark Webber failed, the team considered the manouvre risky but worth an in race attempt
The HWA Mercedes teams aero-dynamisists had determined that the turbulance created by any car in front would create a stabilising flow of air over the CLR's preventing them from over-lifting
Unfortunately the Toyota GT1 TS020 that was in front was believed to be so aerodynamiclly efficient it didn't provide sufficient disturbance of the surrounding air to stabilise the CLR
This lack of stabilising air over the upper surface of the CLR caused over-rotation at the top of the cars lift height and meant the vehicle would never land at the required angle, which would have trapped a cushioning body of air under the car for a safe landing

The other in-race incident was caused by a stray cricket that wandered onto the circuit and was struck but the CLR's front airdam causing it to flip uncontrollably in a display the Blue Angels would be proud of

Slow motion video sequence of a knife bursting a water balloon

The most gorgeous high speed video sequence i have ever seen - often imitated, but never surpassed. Recorded by NASA JPL photograghers using the Photron APX high-speed video camera.
Camera: ultima APX 120 KC recording at 4,000 frames per second (fps) with a 250 microsecond global shutter and a resolution of 1,024 (H) by 512 (V) 30-bit resolution.
