- Abstract
- A brief review of the techniques used in photographing underwater explosions at the Underwater Explosives Research Laboratory and the Naval Ordnance Laboratory for the past several years will be given. The Fastax (35-Mm), Eastman Hi-Speed and a rotating-mirror frame camera have obtained pictures ranging in speed from 2000 to 30,000 frames/sec. Explosions of charges weighing up to one pound have been photographed at depths down to two miles. In the very deep water photography the equipment which synchronized the explosion with the flashbulbs, timers, etc., was self-started by means of a pressure switch. Typical results will be shown.
