Bubbles in Slow Motion

Shot with a Canon T2i by Baris Parildar and Aybuke Kurtuldu, this video of bubbles floating majestically will have you longing for summer.

Ed note: In 1946, some thought you could travel the country in an atomic-powered bubble.

This is what fire breathing looks like in slow motion.

Filmmaker Chris Bolton slowed down a video of himself fire breathing to 2000 frames per second, and it’s pretty cool to watch. Definitely not easy to do, though. How Stuff Works explains why:

It sounds simple, but controlling the fuel’s direction and the consistency of the spray is a technique that takes a lot of time to refine. Fire breathers usually practice extensively with water before ever taking a mouthful of fuel or lighting a torch. They focus on controlling the spray’s direction and consistency.

Ed note: The world record for simultaneous fire breathing was set in 2009. More from Smithsonian.com.
