Jawbreaker, Meet Blender – Visual of the Week

We spent some time filming a Waring Xtreme blender in action with our high speed video camera to learn more about how blending works. In the coming weeks we will be sharing footage illustrating the science of blending.

Fire Charmer – Visual of the Week

Typically, a person doesn’t smile with glee when their hands are glowing on fire, but then  Rusty Oliver isn’t typical.  Filmed at 5300 frames per second with a Phantom Flex, our friend Rusty shows us how fun propane-filled bubbles can be in the hands of an experienced professional.

Warning: Don’t try this at home
