  1. Inexpensive Very High Speed Photography For Mechanics Funded by the Early Undergraduate Research Program By: Melissa Chudyk, Steven Dutter, and Steven Wilser Advisor: Daniel L. MacIsaac

  2. Setup

  3. The Time Machine This is The Time Machine, a device created by Brian Mumford. The purpose of The Time Machine is high speed, and time lapsed photography. The Time Machine consists of a 16 character LCD screen, five push buttons, and a sensitivity control. There are also four jacks at the top end of the machine. They are the flash output, sensor input, shutter output, and AC adaptor. The Time machine has ten modes of operation that you can use. All of the modes can be used for different photographing situations.

  4. Balloon Popping, 1st Attempt using microphone to trigger flash

  5. Balloon Popping, with flour using microphone to trigger flash

  6. Flash Modification Before After

  7. Resistor trials 1k Ohm resistor, Too Dark 10k Ohm resistor, Too Light

  8. Resistor Trial Cont. 4.7k Ohm resistor, Not too dark or light

  9. Popping water balloons -Used 4.7k Ohm resistor in flash -Microphone sensor was setup near balloon to trigger flash

  10. Multiple Exposure of Ping Pong Ball -1k Ohm resistor -Left shutter open, set flash to fire 10 times -Rolled ping pong ball off ramp in order to get this motion -microphone sensor set off flash when ball first hit ground

  11. Dropping Water Balloons using a Delay -Using 4.7k Ohm resistor in flash -When balloon hit ground the microphone sensor triggered the flash -All Balloons were dropped from same height -.01 second delay used

  12. Balloon Droppings Cont. .02 Second Delay .03 Second Delay

  13. Balloon Dropping Cont. .04 Second delay .05 Second delay

  14. Capturing Pellet Mid-Flight -Used ballistics sensor to trigger flash -used 680 Ohm resistor -positioned flash as close as possible

  15. Capturing Pellet Trials 270 Ohm Resistor, Too Dark and Blurry 820 Ohm Resistor, Too Blurry

  16. Money Shot -Captured pellet inside of water balloon -4.7k Ohm resistor -Ballistic sensor triggered flash

  17. Simple Kinematics • Length of gun barrel = 0.397 m • Length of barrel and sensor = 0.58 m • Velocity of pellet determined by sensor = 198 m/s • Mass of pellet = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg • Distance from barrel to backstop = 6.12 m • Speed of sound = 340.29 m/s • Acceleration of pellet in barrel: • Force exerted on pellet:

  18. Simple Kinematics Cont. • The time sound takes to get to the backstop: • Time between sound hitting backstop and pellet hitting backstop, determined from LabView data = 0.028 s = 28 ms • Time for pellet to hit backstop = the time of sound to hit + the time between = 0.018 s + 0.028 s= 0.046 s = 46 ms • Average velocity of pellet: • Time pellet is in barrel using acceleration in barrel: • Time pellet is in barrel using length of barrel:
