[FRIAM] Photos of popped balloon

[Edward Angel]

For two summers while I was an undergrad I worked on a crack propagation project that was using high speed photography to image crack propagation on thin seamless  18” copper cylinders. During the first summer, I made the cylinders by first making solid wax molds that I lathed to the right shape. I then electroplated copper on them before melting the wax away. The second summer I worked on the photography side which was right out of Muybridge.  The film was in a 6 foot in diameter ring. In the middle was a spinning prism at the end of a turbine which sent the light around the ring of film. The whole thing was triggered by the crack breaking a small wire. We all had to hide behind a barrier during each run as the whole assembly 
was pretty delicately balanced.
