Watch an Old iMac Get Destroyed by a Combustion Tube

Posted on by

Do you like to watch things get destroyed, or maybe just have a grudge against iMacs? Then this video is for you. In this clip, we see the Slow Mo Guys destroying an old iMac with a blast traveling at over 4,000 miles per hour from a combustion tube. Yeah, this is going to be good.

Nah, I didn’t know what a combustion tube was either. Still have no idea. And it doesn’t matter. They destroy old computers, therefore they are awesome. Also, I want one. I love that it not only destroys the iMac, but also shoots its corpse forward like a bullet as it falls apart.

If you want to cut right to the chase, the action starts right after the first 2 minutes.

Watch a LEGO Plane Crash in Slow Motion

Posted on by

Watching things explode or break in slow motion is fun. That’s why Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy of The Slow Mo Guys built a LEGO airplane and a LEGO city, then recorded their destruction with their high speed cameras.

The slow motion was filmed at up to 2,500 fps using Phantom Flex and Phantom Flex4K cameras. It is really amazing how you can see all of the detail. Some parts do crazy spins as other bricks just fly outward just like in a Hollywood explosion.

This is some fine fine LEGO carnage. Luckily no minifigs were seriously hurt during this experiment, though it must have taken a ton of time to clean up.
