Physics Girl
Exploding soda cans with electromagnets in SLOW MOTION ft Joe Hanson
Season 1
Episode 27
Watch a soda can rip itself apart in a fiery explosion at 11,000fps with a Phantom high speed camera. Running a current through a coil, produces an electromagnet. Turn up the voltage in this experiment, and make that current strong enough, and your electromagnet can rip a soda can in half. Or rather, make the can rip itself in half!
