[千奇百怪] 高速摄影实拍西瓜被橡皮筋勒爆瞬间

國外有兩位老兄受到網上用橡皮筋勒爆西瓜的視頻啟發，決定效仿一下，於是用高速攝影機對准西瓜，開始一根一根地給西瓜套上橡皮筋。20分鐘過後，西瓜不堪重負，終於爆開。。。

Reality always look better in slow motion.  Even the most humdrum events can seem like the most dramatic moment of an action film.

This certainly seems to the opinion of the  'Slow Mo Guys', who decided to wrap hundreds and hundreds of elastic bands  around a watermelon, bracing themselves for the moment the combined pressure  leads a dramatic explosion and red faces all around.

The pair - famed for their love of  slow-motion destruction - spent 20 minutes wrapping the bands around the fruit,  and then recorded the action with a camera that can take 1,600 images per  second.

Hello! These are our two hosts, Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy, and they are about to get very red-faced

Elastic banding:  As each band goes on the watermelon, the pressure grows until the fruit gets ready to pop

Hollywood director Michael Bay - known and  lampooned for his high-octane super-slow-motion scenes in action films such as  Transformers - may well end up jealous of the pair's camera.

They used a Phantom Flex camera to record the action, which provided them with high-definition  footage to keep for posterity.

The video is part of a series of slow-motion  videos, 61 in total, posted by the pair on their YouTube video.

Previously they have tackled a computer with  a sledgehammer, played golf with an apple, and exploded 'bottle-bombs',  capturing each moment at a fraction of the pace of real life.

The pair do not go to lengths to explain their motivations or what the audience is witnessing. Instead  they seem to  enjoy nothing more than watching everyday objects explode  in super slow  motion.

But that is part of the beauty of science -  sometimes there doesn't need to be a reason, other than watching life from a new  perspective.
