Dr. Luke Donev set off 500 mousetraps armed with over 1,000 ping pong balls at the Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY. Museum visitors watched in awe as a single ball triggered the cascade, and then discovered the physics behind it.
This 3-minute "highlights" video shows a time lapse montage of over 1,000 ping pong balls and 500 mousetraps being set up for a cascade explosion. It shows the explosion from several angles and at different speeds. Visit http://www.sciencenter.org/programs/m... for more information. Date Added: October 3rd, 2009
