Gav and Dan put their hand-eye coordination skills to the test. Due to the fact that both of them were terrible, we had to resort to a montage. Oh and for the record, Jackie Chan definitely did more than 3.
Dan lost the coin challenge and his "penalty" (haha get it?) was to have a football flung into the side of his head by Gav. As a result of this, Dan lost an IQ point, but we found it on the studio floor afterwards, so no harm done.
Gav and Dan, with the help of Jack and Jed, take a slow motion look at rocket fireworks. Due to the fact that filming fireworks in the sky is absolutely no fun at all, we blew them all up at ground level. Don't try it yourselves though... you could lose an eyeball or a ball. Huge thanks goes to Dan's Rover metro for being such a great target. All high-speed shot at 1000fps.

Gav also tries his trick which is called "Jump completely upside down and then do nothing." Gav still has sand in his pockets.
Gav has been busy with his actual job and hasn't had time to film and edit a decent video this week. This means you get the "back up" video which involves Dan exploding a condom on his head at 1000fps. Warning, this video features a spray of nasal mucus.
In the first of a series of videos entitled "Air Pistol vs..." Gav and Dan show you what happens when a pellet hits a very shaken up can of Coke. If you are offended by the spillage of refreshing beverages, please do not watch this video. Shot at 2500fps (100 times slower than eyeball)

Digital switchover, bitches! Gav and Dan finish up Sledgehammer Week by caving in the top of an old tv. Nothing like ending on an implosion. Thanks for watching us this week. Regular content resumes next week. Shot at 2500fps with a Phantom Flex high-speed camera

Gav and Dan find an interesting way to destroy their bev bottles while showing off some cool science.
Gav and Dan are in the GE lab using nanotechnology to show you cool liquid physics at 2500fps. The first experiment shows a superhydrophobic surface that GE has been working on. Surfaces like this can be useful in aviation and wind power to reduce ice build-up or for self-cleaning applications. The surface traps a layer of air using its nanoscopic structure, which prevents water from sticking. The second experiment also demonstrates how the nanoscale differs from the macroscale, this time with iron filings. Iron filings at the macroscale can be easily distinguished from the liquid they are in. When reduced to the nanoscale, magnetic nanoparticles can behave like a liquid magnet. Gav and Dan demonstrate this by showing magnetic liquid flowing upwards against gravity towards a magnet. Filmed on a Phantom Flex at 2500fps
If the military made melon grenades, they would probably look like this. Filmed with a Phantom Flex at 2500fps

Warning: Gross and Dangerous! A lot of people have requested that we recreate this famous challenge. Gav and Dan thought about it for a while and were eventually able to cobble it together. It left Dan's voice a little husky, but shucks... the footage looks amaizeing.
Most fireballs are orange and will melt your face off. These ones aren't orange... but they will still happily melt your face off.

Gav and Dan are back in the old garden. Using two cameras they've never used before, they revisit paint on a speaker. Both cameras were borrowed, but it ain't an ad or anything. This is the first video presented at 50fps playback. Because of the new high recording frame rate, we can afford to play a lot of the slow mo back at double speed. Why 50 instead of 60? All our videos were originally shot in PAL because we are british and that.
Gav and Dan take 1 piece of vinyl and spin it so fast it becomes about 50,000 pieces of vinyl. The results are obviously captured by a very high speed camera.
Managed to squeak this upload into the final hours of June to make for a Giant Balloon June video! We've never filmed a giant balloon so slow. We've also never filmed from the roof of the house before. These two things don’t mean this was a good idea. Don't try this at home. You could get an owwie.
This video contains 4 absolutely massive explosions using a variety of explosive equipment such as shock tube, det cord, shaped charges and avalanchers. It was performed safely under the supervision of explosives experts. Additionally, Dan has training as an EOD in the British Army.

Gav and Dan get some mesmerizing T-1000-like shots of Gallium splashing around. Enjoy the infinite reflections as they destroy Youtube's compression algorithm even in 4K. I'd be better off burning this one to a disk and mailing it to you guys!

As Gav and Dan have learned over the past 9 years of being slow people, fire can move in many ways and looks epic as heck. Don't try this at home.
Gav and new Slow Mo Guy Will run a gauntlet of destruction. Melons, mannequins and a car are about to get it. On this channel we don't usually film an entire video in less than 40 minutes in the car park of the YouTube Space with about 50 people watching, but this one was a bit special. Massive thanks to the LEGEND that is Will Smith for popping on Dan's labcoat and becoming a Slow Mo Guy for a day. Make sure you go and see Gemini Man!

Gav and Dan (and Smee) make a video that is incredibly difficult to watch by using glitter to absolutely annihilate modern video compression. In order to give you a fighting chance, this video is uploaded in 8K (4320p50) to increase the available bitrate. Don't watch if you are prone to seizures from flashing!
Gav films Smee the cat sprint, jump and dive around in slow motion with some overly jolly royalty-free music playing in the background. What have we learned today? Cats don't always land on their feet. Warning, this video features time travel. Stay safe, wear a mask, stay indoors n' that.
Gav goes for a swim and shows off the interesting method in which you can get out of the water and immediately hear your sound alerts on the Apple Watch.

Gav and Dan use some slightly unconventional means to pull off an epic collaboration with @colinfurze during a global pandemic, where Dan may or may not lose some eyelashes.
Somethings were never meant to be seen at 1000fps in 4K. I'd include this subject as one of them. Gav coughs, sneezes and talks in ultra backlit slow motion to illustrate the importance of wearing masks to prevent aerosolized particles from blasting out of your face holes. Who better to ask about the subject than Dr Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases!
Gav whips out the Phantom and proves that some strange things happening on a pinball machine when viewed in Slow Mo!
Compressed air can be used to levitate rounded objects. Sometimes said rounded objects start spinning so fast that they give up on being round objects. Gav films all the action over 1000x times slower than real time.
After about 10 hours of setting mouse traps like an absolute Billy no mates, Gav sets off a nice fat colourful chain reaction that we can all sit down and watch together like a nice big slow mo family.
When it really comes down to it, in this video Gav is filming a vibrating stick in slow mo. However, not all sticks vibrate. Especially not as fast as this one.

A portion of this video was sponsored by Google Search. Let’s be better consumers of information @google. Do not watch this video if you have glass eardrums that resonate at 505hz. Filmed with the Phantom TMX 7510 at 187,500fps

How do you use a fire extinguisher when it doesn't have a handle? Blow it up? Gav and Dan film the explosive fire suppression at 150,000fps.
Bullets can skip off the surface of water in one millisecond. Gav and Dan have always been of the opinion that a millisecond is slightly too short so they whip out the slow mo camera and make it last 5 seconds.

Gav and Dan demonstrate some pretty shoddy tattoo skills into some ballistic gel allowing us to get a rather disturbing glimpse at what occurs below the surface of the skin in macro ultra-slow motion. If you're a bit iffy on needles, give this one a miss!
WARNING - LOUD! Gav plops down the high speed camera next to a rocket engine with 45,000lbs of thrust and the results are epic. Big thanks to Firefly for allowing us to film at their facility and BBC Click for letting us use their behind the scenes footage from the day.

This channel will feature more laid back "out of labcoats" content that doesn't fit on the main channel including behind the scenes stuff that we have racked up over the years but have never shown, as well as more technical videos such as "how to work the Phantom camera."
Behind two rickety old grey doors lies a world of mystery... and like condoms and stuff.
It's been a decade. A lot has changed.
We put the A in Q&A. Every time we upload a video, we get comments telling us to upload more often. We'd love to, but this is why we don't.
