Altamont School Field Trip

Vear and Vista hosted the Altamont School's 6th grade science class. We froze racket balls in liquid nitrogen, looked at bugs with the scanning electron microscope, talked about tin whiskers, and finished off with a deployment of an airbag. We place the bag face up, and put a stuffed Elmo doll on the bag. Elmo went about 50 feet in the air and landed in a tree! We had to get him down with one of our flagpoles used for taking overhead pictures of cars.


Fast forward to 2:08. This was shot at 600 frames per second (I think).
