See how your food explodes Bashny.Net

Food bombyChtoby see real explosions, sent to landfill is not necessary. Just look at the products that we use daily. Literally under our noses is the mass of exciting explosions: exploding popcorn, chewing gum, and more.





Viro Emmanuel and Alexander Ponomarenko initially conducted research on extreme weather events, but suddenly realized that their equipment can answer another, equally interesting question: why popcorn pops? The result of their work was a series of beautiful slow rollers, in which the corn is heated up until not explode.

As explained in the BBC News, in the course of experiments it was found that 180 ° C - this seems to be the critical temperature for corn. The mechanics of the process was rather mysterious, but if you look carefully at the following video you can see that at the beginning of the explosion of the core out tiny "legs" that are repelled from the surface, throwing up corn.

In fact, the accumulation and subsequent release of energy in the form of "feet" are repelled from the surface, remarkably similar to the flip gymnasts claim Viro and Ponomarenko.

Sound arises because of exposure of the water vapor in the resonating cavity inside the nucleus. For the same reason the volcanoes are beginning to roar and pops a bottle of champagne when you uncork it.



This is just one of many examples showing how bright the explosions may be domestic, if we consider them in slow motion. Look at this video, in which the chewing gum burst in the face of the girl:



It's not like how a normal burst balloon. Below you can see something like "ghost skeleton", which occurs when air is rushing out, creating gaps in the gum:



And even such a mundane thing as spaghetti, can be a real spectacle with pieces on hundreds of debris:



The world around us is constantly "blows", all you need to do is to observe it - slow down.
