Yeah but I'm pretty sure he was wrong about the speed of lightning. At 1:40, he says the leader goes 1/10th the speed of light. But that's NOT right. EVERY source I've read claims that the lightning "leader" goes MUCH SLOWER; closer to like a 1/1000th the speed of light. That's 1,000 times slower than what Prof Liew said. The return strike can be between 10% to 50% the speed of light so he was right about that part.

@@CosmicG777 I was thinking that that statement didn't seem close to accurate. If that were the case, then you could go back to the previous video about lightning, watch the leaders come down, and just think of something going 10x the speed to get light speed. Because each leader stayed in view for much more than 10 frames, that would have meant that they could have captured things moving at the speed of light just using the phantom, which is obviously not possible.
I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if this is part of a colab that we don't know about yet, or if Destin was at this same location doing something earlier in the day.
Another thing to point out; in your freeze frame with the charge cascade returning up the bolt, you also have an inverted internal reflection (to the right) which is more-or-less correctly exposed and shows in much greater detail the brightness distribution of the ionised air
Yep, saw that in part 1 as well. Actually was able to take a picture of the sun during the last solar eclipse on my cellphone and got the same effect. (No, I didn't look up. However, my hand got pretty warm holding my cell out in the sun)
You should film in the folds of a blanket loaded with electricity and unfold it. Between the two during the unfolding there are hundreds of visible electric arc! It must be crazy with a high speed camera. :D
My physics professor had one of these, and they are so much fun. We did an exercise where about seven people standing on plastic chairs and grounded at the end of the line, with one person also on a chair touching the generator building a charge. That one person and the first in line gradually brought their elbows together and it resulted in a massive static shock at about a foot apart and an unbelievably bright flash. I'd be interested to see if you two could recreate that. Love the content, keep it up!
Funnily enough, humans can survive extremely high heights by pushing all the contact force into a single point. People have fallen from airplanes and sprained their ankles.
One thing I genuinely love about this show, that I feel really captures the spirit of SMG, are the small moments when you can see the camera laugh when something funny happens, or as here when you can hear the crew clearly having a laugh. Love it!
@@UKDrivingTest There's no way that's 1 million rounds. The gun would melt and everything in it's path would disappear immediately with nothing left as to get 1million rounds every single mm and smaller would need to be covered by 100+ bullets
Seriously these guys are awesome. They show the most interesting parts, they don't just aim the camera at the floor the moment something happens, they don't beg for likes or subscribers... these guys are proper youtubers.
@@matthillfromcollege4109 In most videos that people record, when something cool happens, they point the camera at the floor instead of the thing you want to see, so you miss the thing you wanted to see.
Every time I sit and watch a couple of Slo Mo Guys videos, I come away with an ache in my jaw from smiling and laughing so much. Even at the older videos, the humor is always perfect.
I hate to be that person but I’m gonna do it anyway. It’s heard not herd and there should always be a space after a comma. I’m sorry, I usually don’t correct people but for some reason your comment really bugged me.
@@Blueberryyymuffin sir im glad youv decided to think to assert you're dominant tendencies by correcting my Grammer,but where im from repeated words separated by a comma are typically not separated by a space, and I used the slang word "herd" as a reference to the dialect I speak and felt it more accurately portrayed my method of speech.
Mefous Thank you for telling me but I wasn’t trying to be rude or act superior. I honestly never correct anyone. I don’t really care if people say your instead of you’re etc. But something about your comment really bothered me. I didn’t want to be too nick picky so I did delete my comment about you missing the period cause it really wasn’t that big of a deal when I really thought about it and it wasn’t really bothering me. It was just the comma and the herd thing. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or anything, I know some people get offended when some commenters correct them. I didn’t mean any disrespect.
@Bond 0707: Yeah, I thought is was funny too. Don't know why Gav ran so fast, since the taser is only a couple of kilovolts (40,000 I think) while the Van der Graaff generator has something like 400,000. On the other hand, the taser does not provide a short spark but keeps hooked in your skin / muscles.
I love that every time they greet someone for an explanation Dan is holding his hand out for a shake from five feet away. Just walking with his hand sticking out for so long
5:34 Gavins realising that what he saw was the lightning partially on its way up is such a good catch. That's insane! 1/10 the speed of light, just shy of 100 000 meters per second. This pair was so good! Looking forward to the next video as always.
Skin has really high resistance, but it drops off quickly when voltage is introduced. That's why you could get so close the first time, but then it hit you from several inches away.
There I was perusing the tube looking for top quality prog rock and I ended up here. Nearly as entertaining as THE Van der Graaf Generator so I watched it anyway. Rock on chaps...
The weirder thing is that there are single celled organisims with flexible shapes that also can do the same trick. Maybe they are using tiny electrical charges to identify the shortest possible path?
God I love Dans quick comments Prof: “... the whole duration lasts from microseconds to milliseconds maximum one second..” Dan: “Oh so you’d know about it then 🧐”
A note: Do not stand or sit next to or against a lone tree in an open field during a thunderstorm. Lighting can hit the tree and jump to you. If you are stuck in a very open and flat field during heavy lightning, and absolutely cannot make it to shelter, last I heard, best thing is to crouch low to the ground, with your feet as close together as you can manage, curl up into a ball, and cover the back of your head with your hands. You don't want to lay down, because if lightning hits near you it will travel outward through the ground and might travel through you. Similar for keeping your feet together; less chance lightning discharging through the ground will travel through you. The leaders coming up from the ground tend to form off of sharp points, that's why you curl into a ball. And any slight depression in the ground is advantageous to place yourself in as well. Disclaimer; I'm not an expert. I am a weather enthusiast, though, and did take a meteorology course in college.
In the half-blown-out frame of the lightning traveling up you can see a lens reflection of the lightning on the right side of the frame which is much easier to see (because it's not blown out as much).
No I think you're wrong.. and I've been scrolling for a comment suggesting what that is before I post lol.. but pause that frame and look carefully, they don't follow an identical path. I think he caught something far more insane! Look for my comment I'm about to post

Dan & Gav, I was struck by lightning Sept. 1979 while going to college at USF Tampa. I was riding my bike, rain storm approached us, lightning came down, struck only myself (not girl riding bike beside me). It bifurcated in front of my face & struck both my hands on the handlebars, popped my bicycle into the air & I crash landed. Both my hands/fingertips were smoking! Raced to hospital, lucky to be alive. They said the rubber in my bike tires saved my life (rubber grounded my lightning strike). Ultimately, all my fingernails fell off & grew back weeks later.
My arms were outstretched in front of me. It was the 1970's waaaay before bike helmets & the handlebars on my Schwinn World Sport model bike, positioned my arms way out in front of my head. It was crazy scary experience. 40 yrs ago, but I can remember it like it happened 5 minutes ago!
As someone with a really low electrical resistance, I feel Dan's pain. I get zapped a lot, especially by car doors. I startled my physics lecturer once when playing around with a multimeter. I had set it to measuring current and held the ends of the leads. I got a pretty high reading. My lab partner tried the same thing and got about a tenth of what I had.
@@little_valkyrie I thought I was the only one. It's just a split second but it hurts. Apparently dry air causes more static shocks so that could be why.
I think you were measuring your resistance. If you read ten times your partner's resistance for yourself, your body actually resisted current flow ten times more than him & dissipated 1/10th of the power.
The cool thing is that all the series is for free with out ads and stuff. For real I really love what you guys doing

Those are stun guns. A taser works by having DC over a gap, (2 nails) charging and then releasing a severe amount of energy.

Wouldnt it must likely take the easiest path which is usually the closest path which would be your head or what?
Wouldnt rubber stop the lightenibg from going to ground cause its not a conductor?
My arms were outstretched in front of me. It was the 1970's waaaay before bike helmets & the handlebars on my Schwinn World Sport model bike, positioned my arms way out in front of my head. It was crazy scary experience. 40 yrs ago, but I can remember it like it happened 5 minutes ago!
My school has one and every year we get the whole class shocked. Teacher: "My most favourite day of the year"
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the art on the bored behind Dan at 8:10 ?? xD
I mean
if you survive being struck by lightning with no long-term damage to you, I think you already _have_ super powers
I really appreciate how much I learn from these videos.
Look how clean Dan's coat is
Am i the only one who love Gav when he saying "Thanks Us !" ? #lol
Gav what is that beard growing up and out of your shirt??
Theqwerty That’s the welcome mat.
Next video: Filming a nuclear explosion in slow motion
There's already videos about slowmo nukes that on UA-cam
Already been done.
lol
The small banter they have under their breath and on the side between actual dialogue is absolutely hilarious.
Something thats amazing in slow mo is Gav's laugh such as 9:18 lol
As someone with a really low electrical resistance, I feel Dan's pain. I get zapped a lot, especially by car doors.
I startled my physics lecturer once when playing around with a multimeter. I had set it to measuring current and held the ends of the leads. I got a pretty high reading. My lab partner tried the same thing and got about a tenth of what I had.
Jimmi K Not particularly. And this test was done in an air conditioned lab in autumn, so not a sweaty environment
@@little_valkyrie I thought I was the only one. It's just a split second but it hurts. Apparently dry air causes more static shocks so that could be why.
I think you were measuring your resistance. If you read ten times your partner's resistance for yourself, your body actually resisted current flow ten times more than him & dissipated 1/10th of the power.
