After lots of technical heartache, I finally got the high-speed camera back up and running. Candy Smith and Gerry Tryhane were talking to some students, and I was able to convince one of them – the students, not Candy or Gerry – to jump for the camera. This video is about ~1100 frames per second. Kim Harrell (Kinesiology) is going to have her students jump, and use the footage to analyze forces on the body, or something like that. Stay tuned.
Oh the possibilities! Thank you to the volunteer who pioneered this effort! Can’t wait to see what the body looks like striking a wavemaster, Zack! Let’s talk!
