Mentos and Diet Coke explosion at 1200fps watch!

gizmodo.com — Giz reader Robert Woodhead combined two things that I just can't seem to get sick of seeing: Stuffing Mentos into Diet Coke bottles and the super-slow-mo action of Casio's EX-F1 camera to create this stunningly beautiful video.

  • wavesmachine, on 05/05/2008, -53/+14$10 says this footage ends up in the next Naked Gun movie.
  • RSS14, on 05/05/2008, -55/+12I came.
  • leetdood, on 05/05/2008, -47/+15Those drops are goddamn sweet to see at 1200fps.
    • BryanJK, on 05/05/2008, -12/+4I want that camera, for $1,000 it's not to bad since I have already been looking at SLRs.
    • specialK16, on 05/05/2008, -10/+2I wonder, if you record from another camera the Casio EX-F1 screen while it is recording at 1200fps will you get to see the screen recording at 1200fps?
      • s0ny, on 05/05/2008, -6/+1it records in realtime
      • SenatorPenguin, on 05/05/2008, -6/+3Yes, it actually slows down time so that 1 second takes 40 seconds just so another camera can record it.
      • richardiscool, on 05/05/2008, -1/+1FAIL!
      • Bleue, on 05/05/2008, -1/+1It would film 24 frames per second of the 1200, so it would catch every 50th frame (or partial refreshes thereof) and would just revert the video back to normal time, of course you could then use another casio to film the output of that camera, then you would get a horribly stop motioned film, making this official the most expensive and stupid way to acheive a stop motion effect.
        • specialK16, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1I feel enlighten by your common sense! Thanks, believe it or not this is something I've wondered since I was 6 years old. Kinda of obvious, but hehe, you know.

  • Grimace421, on 05/05/2008, -37/+15Pretty shocking to see how many tubgirl references came up...
  • Balath, on 05/05/2008, -34/+8That looks like something that would spew out of various and multiple bodily orifices in the Japanese porno industry.
  • rrbest, on 05/05/2008, -33/+13pause at 42 or 41 seconds (remaining) and look at the 2nd image from the left

      • xeemo, on 05/05/2008, -2/+2I've seen balloons popping, along with all sorts of things. Never have I seen a slow motion video of raindrops. Perhaps someone can post one?
  • ConNERD, on 05/05/2008, -33/+9These comments suck.

  • JFallon126, on 05/05/2008, -26/+13Chemical reaction + Super Slo Mo= Front page

    Not complaining. It's just true.
    • G4M3R, on 05/05/2008, -12/+8That's because

      Chemical Reaction + Super Slo Mo = Awesome.
      • DontEatTheFish, on 05/05/2008, -13/+3therefore Awesome = front page

  • s4g4n, on 05/05/2008, -27/+10I was about to avoid this video since I've seen hundreds of mentos videos, and the truth is none of them really impress me anymore. But I was wrong, this one is ***** awesome!
  • LDawg, on 05/05/2008, -25/+4Am I the only one who doesn't think this looks like 1200fps? Looks like MAYBE 120fps in slow-motion.
    • championchap, on 05/05/2008, -1/+2I did thihnk it seemed a tad fast still, but then again.. the diet coke mentos vomit is fas as fack.

    • playuhh, on 05/05/2008, -6/+29can someone explain what happened here ? =/ i've been on digg for a while and still don't get it...
      • unearth, on 05/05/2008, -1/+47A series of bad comments can often trigger a rage that is unleashed indiscriminately upon every comment in the thread. Once people start to see that trend, they follow suit and bury everyone as well. Not much to explain except to say that it happens.
        • etnuts, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1blasphemy its the phantom of digg that has done this
    • tama00, on 05/05/2008, -12/+2this is whats so ***** about the digg commenting system. FIX IT NOW!
