Don’t throw water balloons, in slow motion.
Wow Hopper… I’m shocked… A video from YouTube… How novel.
AND you managed to post two videos in a row. You are a hard worker blogmaster.
Geez, if sarcasm could kill… I’d be deader than a doornail.
Oh I’ll rake you over the coals for your weird obsession with the endless parade of low res video… But I’ll never allow real harm to come to you… My pretty…
Thanks hhopper for showing me this mesmerizing video I would never have stumbled across myself. (not sarcasm) There’s so much going on in there. I’ve watched it over and over. Learning something new almost every time.
Well I’m glad SOME people enjoyed it. It’s not easy wading through all the garbage but someone has to do it… or not.
(Oh man, someone just shot Toto.)
You too can perform this mesmerizing feat by filling a balloon with water way below its maximum capacity and dropping it (not sarcastic). This is awesome for those who study fluid dynamics or want to animate a blobby thing hitting the ground.
Nice clip. I agree with glenn (#5)… it’s interesting to see how the fluid is reacting to the impact.
Did anyone else notice that it formed a twig and two berries on the first impact??
A. Looks like something an animator needs to study to get that scene “just right”.
B. There are definite Rorschack (sic?) symbols floating in and out; some look like the cellulite on a leg. Note that I did not say “on a fat old broad’s leg”, as that would not be politically correct.
C. And I was going to comment on the paucity of political comments; until I wrote the above.
WELL JESUS H. CHRIST !!!
I saw him. His image. Christ’s image formed when the balloon first hits. Hallelujah !!!
Have you seen this one?

You notice the rubber receding very fast while the water stays in the same shape.
I found it fascinating. Miguel’s link, too. Lessons in elasticity, deformability and inertia, all wrapped up in two short videos.
