Hello, The Internet. I'm Gav
I'm Dan
We're The Slo Mo Guys
and we're here at Purdue University in Indiana
and I'm terrified of where we're stood right now.
It's quite intimidating, isn't it?
You know when you're looking down, well, barrel of a gun,
this is slightly different.
We're in front of a giant combustion tube.
Yeah. What it's for is actually testing flame acceleration and
deflagration to detonation transition.
But, what we're interested in, as The Slow Mo Guys, is
blowing stuff up, so
Not really just blowing up, like obliterating stuff.
Annihilating stuff.
What's the word you like?
Oh, what's the word?
Eviscerate?
Eviscerate, that's the one.
So we're going to eviscerate this Mac.
Circa 2004? I dunno.
Something like that.
When did that iMac come out?
I don't know. Oh god.
We've got some retro equipment
and we're basically going to put this
over here
very fast, and film it in slow motion.
We're going to send it back to the '90s in 28,000 fps.
How fast does it go?
This?
No, how fast does this...
The flame comes out about 1,800 m/s
God!
Yeah!
I'm going to get the hell out of the way.
Yeah, I've had enough standing in front of that thing.
Here we have our Mac, speakers and old school equipment
on a nice desk.
All from, sort of, late '90s to early 2000s.
Here is the combustion tube.
Look at the state of all these tubes.
Do you reckon I should twist one?
Don't touch it. Don't you dare.
I don't know what to do with this thing.
It almost looks like some sort of, like, film weapon.
Where they're like:
'Oh, I've developed this new...'
It's a James Bond bad guy weapon, for sure.
It absolutely is.
like Man with the Golden Gun
Bing bing bing tssss fshhh
and the Mac's gone.
It's an Apple remover.
Okay, so, we're going to film this at a 1000 fps in 4K
on this bad boy.
And when that inevitably isn't slow enough,
we'll cut to this footage
which is going at 28,500 fps
the v2511, cheers Destin, and we've got a light
that's lighting it, because it's a pretty grizzly day.
Oh!
It's blue! What!? It's blue at the beginning!
That was like- I didn't see anything in real-time.
No. I saw none of that.
It just looked like it went 'bang'
and then the computer was suddenly over there.
I did not think it would be blue!
My table!
My table's ruined! I can't believe my table's ruined!
Shall we see how we have to use the computer now?
Because previously you had a keyboard
and we could use the computer, right?
Now,
let me just
log on
Nah, it's not working.
Well that's 'cause it's not an Apple mouse.
Oh, yeah, obviously.
Where's the rest of the plastic bits?
Oh, there's some of it.
Oh, no the plastic was just annihilated everywhere.
Look, it's on the floor there, there's some behind the tube
So we just de-shelled the Mac
and then blasted the screen face first into this wall.
Do you want a CD drive? I've got one here.
That's the motherboard.
Now, that's pretty much the only way to get into a Mac.
You want to upgrade your RAM?
We turned it into an "iM".
I'm-
Oh this is alright then.
Oh, no.
It had the illusion of being alright.
So the keyboard is in... one piece?
It didn't blow any of the keys out.
Yeah it did. Space bar.
You always lose the space bar.
Space bar's gone to space.
And there's the electronics of the keyboard.
It's all the press-ys. The press-y tech.
Got the metal in there.
Got the... this.
Nothing else up there.
Oh and also got this.
Oh the squidgies!
Ah, yes. The satisfying part.
Oh these feel great.
Bit wet though, aren't they? Bit moist.
Oh, they feel good though.
Although, hang on. Speaking of moist.
I think my favourite part of that is how
just so quickly there was blue flame engulfing it
then there was orange flame, and the Mac hadn't even moved at this point.
The explosion was pretty much done,
and the Mac was maybe an inch from where it started.
But with the momentum to carry it all the to the wall.
Just like a catapult. Amazing.
It was quality.
I'm even more scared of standing here next to this thing now.
I think we should get one of these.
[Gav]: Can you imagine what we could do? [Dan]: It would be nice.
Imagine what we could do to the neighbour's shed.
Impress the girls...
[Gav]: With that? [Dan]: Yeah!
Look at my... cannon?
Huge thanks to Purdue University in Indiana
for helping us make this video
and flying us out here to film with this beast.
Hopefully one day we can come back and blow up some more stuff with it.
Oh, I could think of plenty of things.
Me too, I've got a list. I'm making a list right now.
Yeah, yeah.
Feel free to follow us on Twitter,
subscribe to the SlowMoGuys,
we've got a second channel.
I always do that when I say second channel,
I just assume I'll put the thing there, right there on you.
You typing up some- you typing up notes?
This would be a good idea for a futuristic keyboard.
D'you not think?
I think that's a step backwards.
Oh, come on. It's satisfying with the buttons.
Back to physical buttons?
Yeah, but they're just so much better.
No. No.
Hopefully you enjoyed that, we'll see you in the next one.
