Ultra High Speed Camera
Japan's NHK has developed a high-speed camera that can record video at the staggering rate of one million frames per second. On the exhibit floor, the camera was trained on a hanging water balloon. When an NHK engineer punctured the balloon the camera captured every cascading droplet in ultra slow motion.
NHK's high-speed camera captured video of this water balloon popping at one million frames per second.
NHK reps say the camera can be used for everything from sports coverage (think of seeing the secrets of Tiger Woods' backswing shot in ultra high speed) or science and nature programs.
