- Lightning is fast. One of the fastest things that occurs on planet earth. Gav and Dan are up for a challenge and fly all the way to Singapore in monsoon season to see what they can get at 100,000+FPS.

The lightning illuminating the bay just enough to see the silhouettes of the ships is a super ominous image.

@@alanpimentel1407 facts I was getting those vibes
alan pimentel oppp best me too it 🤦♂️
If you play it back in 0.25x speed you can see it actually gets as light as day but lasts so short it appears to only show the silhouettes. In 0.25 speed paused at the right moments it looks like daytime with some weird ominous cloud at the top.
@@alanpimentel1407 eewww...
So, basically, lightning branches out from the cloud in search for the fastest route to the ground and whichever branch reaches the ground first lights up?
Yes, although it doesn’t really “light up” per say. All the energy from the other tendrils go back up and to the main branch that touched the ground. All that energy going in one direction down the same path creates an intense amount of light.

animetor Zion be careful what you say to nerds. They may be your boss one day
Yes true
Pretty much, in technical terms, it's such a high voltage that air is able to conduct and it takes the path of least resistance.
4:05 “Why are you guys in my room?”
“IT’S SCIENCE, NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!”
I was *so* hoping they'd planted a shill in the other hotel room for that joke; smart of them to rent the room for the support guys on the opposite of the building...
The guy: Don't mind me... I'm just here, I guess. Not expecting to be CZcams celebraties or something!
They actually broke into that guy’s room against his will! 😂 They had Dan beat the snot out of him so he wouldn’t go and tell on them. 😂 They ended his life after they went home too so there were no witnesses. 😅

One of my favorite videos you guys have done. So amazing to see the feelers reaching out for the lucky path!
Love your channel Bro
U give the best explanation and experiments which helps a lot!!! Keep it up!!!
Omg , i subscribed ur channel 8 mnths ago ... And did not expect you here !!
Huge FAN of your channel all three of you are doing a fantastic job. HAIL the ACTION LAB and the SLO-MO guys 5:03

Maybe you could do a video about this, if you haven't already ofcourse. Would love to see this.

Well, they end up lugging the thing to the other end so at least they worked a little?
XD
I remember when this tech didn't exist and capturing slow mo footage of a lightning bolt was a big accomplishment because the dude basically had to sit there pointing at random spots in the sky, pressing the trigger at random intervals and hoping he caught something.
This is so much easier lmao
@@fabianlaibin6956 That is true. They did have to hustle there, and I'm sure that camera isn't light!

Do you ev3n know how to set it up
I love how they traveled all the way to Singapore just to see some lightning lmao that's some dedication right there.
They could've went anywhere in Florida
or the midwest
@@Myron90 Florida is a shithole though.
"some lightning"
they went to Singapore to get some sucky sucky time. Don't be fooled.
This looks like a war movie. The lightning revealing the enemy fleet😂
In my opinion, lightning is one of the coolest natural phenomenons that exist
@@theesupremeeli8482 fair enough. Event then
Lightning has always been the coolest thing of all time for me even as a wee baby
I agree
nothing can be better than massive surges of electricity coming from the sky.

Phenomenon
a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question
Emphasis on the “whose cause or explanation is in question”
CZcams: How fast is lightning?
Nature: Yes.
CZcams: nice stuff.
Lightning goes with 360.000 km/h but the light it produces goes 300.000 km/s or 1.080.000.000 km/h. No problem
TimDaOne or you can just say speed of light :)
@@dr.chopper3804 true but that's not what they were really talking about
TimDaOne I know dat
The amazing resemblance in lightning patterns, leaf patterns, vein patterns, etc is just insane.
It has resemblance in that it's a branching path, but it's far more chaotic and assymetrical. More like a river or some kind of bacterial growth
Look up Slime Molds. It's very common in nature
I’m sure someone has said this before after three years but, at 6:30/6:31 right when the flash happens they actually managed to capture what looks like the tail of a red sprite on the right side of the strike. Which is really cool
Playing at .25 speed I saw the red trail during the blast! WOW. Then all the tendrils 🤖 "our mission is complete. Run away, run away!"
its the reflection in the lense
i can see it in the video but what actually is a red sprite?
I came to the comments exactly for the same reason! Also, if you watch closely the frames where the other lightning happens you can see them in almost every frame (e.g. look at the frame they stopped at 7:17, you can clearly see that on the right) but as someone said in comments, that doesn’t look like a reflection to me… so curious of what this phenomenon is
@@DjAndrewWhite Its called "the-common-reflection-in-the-lense-phenomenon"
The red line is an internal lens reflection. Cause everyone keeps asking, "did you see...". Please like so that peeps can see this.
I came down here looking for this comment! :-) Thanks!
There's also a lot of chromatic aberration on the lightning strikes themselves.
I comment so they see
Thank you!
Good thing I read the comments before I watched what happened. I don't want to be one of those people.

"Let's go inside"

😂 bruh
They actually said outside but the captions said inside instead
@@TOCTAAM no they said inside
Bruhh
Shows how the negative charge accumulated in the clouds sends out "feelers" searching for ground. When the first feeler makes conductive contact, the remaining charge imbalance follows its path until the charge imbalance is nuetralized.
what happens to the other feelers that don't make contact?
@@zanly5039 they retract and send their charge down the path of least resistance, the main bolt of lightning
@@theTylerMorale partially correct, the force is not entirely strong enough to fully retract the feelers, they dry up so fast. I'm assuming some charge get lost in the air.
@@zanly5039 they dry up. Not everything is going to get sucked back up the feelers, that would require to much energy since they are already so close to the target, they get lost in the air.
Scrolling through this frame by frame, at 9:09, I think you guys caught some pretty good Ball Lightning. This happens after the main strike. You can see little balls of lightning floating off to the right. There are a couple that stay for some time and vary their intensity! Maybe the first ever Ball Lightning caught on film!!
Oh! So they are leftovers from the feelers...! Good catch!
4:06 "who are you and what are you doing in my room?!"

Yeah, I was thinking at that time, "Did they just barge into someone else's room? And they didn't even greet him!"

@@Dramalover2299 As they were running down the hall they mentioned they had a room in the ocean side as well in case the storm was on that side, so he likely called them over

Lightning is fascinating, beautiful, scary, and insane all at the same time. 2.7 megawatt-hours, 10 billion watts, all in the span of 5 milliseconds. Reaching miles from the clouds to the sky at 33% the speed of light, while superheating the air around it and causing massive shockwaves in the form of thunder. It’s absolutely mad
imo it's amazing!!
You are a poet, my friend!
And creates Nitrogen.
Just a little correction, the lightning travelling from the clouds to the ground has a speed of about 400,000 km/h. When the path is successfully made, then the lightning going from down to up by draining the side bolts move up(the return bolt) at 33% the speed of light

Raju bhai ne bola tha dekhne ko 😂😂😂
That lightning sequence at 28,000 frames/ sec was AMAZING
The craziest part is that in the highest fps one, you can actually see all the split paths visually dissipate after the main bolt makes contact.
That's them super fast step leaders for you.
@@erikflynn3376 Nah the stepped leader is the slow part where they're going towards the ground, the return stroke is the *fast* part
@@erikflynn3376 thats way faster than a Bugatti Chriron!
Running with that camera through the hallway got me stressed
Same and it messed with me when they ran into the other room. For a sec I thought they ran into a someone else’s room
Yeah, Gav was running with the camera like it cost only a few pennies.
What's the price?
@@RedWine_noob I wanna know too.
How much a 2k FPS recording camera cost?
@@ButiNgaSau I don't know if they upgraded and that's not a Phantom or its a new version, but over 100,000 dollars
Awesome. At slo-mo you can see those lightning like reversed river systems. A couple of main rivers are feeded by an increasing number of tributary streams, sucking positive charges into the cloud, until one of them hits the path of less resistance from the ground and all charges collapse quickly through that single channel.

Hi I'm here due to rajwant sir
you guys should contact a youtuber called Pecos Hank, he is a professional storm chaser and i bet a tornadoes vortices look phenomenal in slow mo (hint hint)
I love precos hank he’s so calm and he is a life saver definitely a great or the best person in youtube
Oh yeahh
well, idk. tornadoes can be beautiful but i dont think slowing them down would do much in terms of making it easier to appreciate. in fact, speeding it up usually makes it better because all of it's changes take some time to occur.
Well they should start somewhere that a tornado has already formed, its sometimes mesmerizing to see those circulations in slow mo
Agree, Pecos Hank is the Best and Most popular Tornographer !
I’ve noticed that lightning branches out like a tree, and that the first “branch” to make contact with something is the one that sticks. While every other branch gets completely erased and adds it’s power to the main one. And if two manage to make contact at the exact same time, is splits the energy between the two.
path of least resistance
Nice
So basically the first branch to make contact is the path of least resistance and all the electrons are redirected and flow through that path which forms the larger, brighter main bolt
That's called path of least resistance
The negative charge in the cloud is looking for a place to ground, that's why all the branches are reaching down. There are positively charged arms that reach up from the ground and the first of those that it makes contact with completes the circuit and the cloud dumps its charge into ground in a series of bright pulses down that main path.
It's like a metaphore for life itself, the many different routes and possible outcomes but only one is the true one and the one you end up living and manifesting. Always so awesome to see nature in slow mo action

Yeah, and once the most efficient path reaches the point of impact first, the other paths instantly disappear. Fascinating!
And the weirdest is that they don't disappear. The charges in these paths are sucked to the main path so fast that they break the sound barrier and turn the main path even more brighter

I've seen Lightning hit once when I was young. I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I looked out a window at my nieghbours house during a storm & saw a bolt hit their roof. It looked like about a metre wide at least & lasted for over a second. It blew the roof off their house & sparks covered the whole street. It looked Awesome. Then I ran over to help the people in the house. They were all ok. Massive hole in the roof though.
This was incredible. I would love to see more nature themed videos
It is said that the step leader of a lightning bolt travels at a speed of 224,000 MPH (the bolts that travel down from the cloud), while the return stroke (stroke that travels up) travels 1000 times that (220,000,000 MPH, or a 1/3 the speed of light). Insanely fast.
Yeh look at that when it goes up 🍻.
Beautiful from far but terrifying up close
If only we could harness that power, it is a gigantuan outburst, I dare not speculate the wattage put out...
Pause the video at one of the lightning strikes and then use period and comma keys to scroll through the frames. You'll see that the leader gets close to the ground but doesn't quite reach it, and then all of a sudden there's the insanely bright flash. That's the moment where the positively charged upwards lightning (which you can't see) connects with the negatively charged downwards lightning and this, and only this, is the actual lightning strike. Everything you see after the flash is just the glow of the superheated air but the actual electrical discharge is already finished.
BTW, is it weird to watch a slow mo guys video in slow motion?
@@JC130676 wow! thanks for the "period and comma keys" lifehack! I didn't know that before.

My guess is that is lens flare much the same as when you see a cars headlights in a movie somewhere on the other side of the frame is an image of the headlights, caused by internal reflection in the lens elements.
Or it could be speedForce😳
It's the flash barry Allen is real
This is awesome. The "slow" branch-like feelers before the big bolt is amazing to amazing to watch.
I love every single one of your videos, but this is the only one that gives me goosebumps. Lightning is absolutely ridiculous.
I half thought dan was going to strap a metal rod to himself and run around in a storm😂
I wouldn't put it past them to do that
I spent the begining of the video thinking to myself "No, surly not. They wouldn't do that, would they?" I half expected Dan to pull out a Fariday suit the whole video.
Up next, Atomic bomb explosion in slow motion. XD
I don't see anything wrong with that, all you have to do is find a big fridge and put everyone inside 😀
That would be awesome
There's quite a lot of footage already available, atomic testing was one of the primary drivers of early slow-motion camera technology.
Look up Operation Hardtack you'll find a bunch of different shots of that detonation.

I’ve been fortunate enough to go to Singapore and see a lightning storm while I was there. Being from somewhere that doesn’t see that much lightning, it was absolutely insane and actually one of my favorite memories of Singapore, which is really saying something.
Who ever decided to start playing 'Night on Bald Mountain' at 4:55 is a genius. always sends a shiver through me.
Thank you for sharing the name the piece!
My marching band is playing it as the opener this year
Thanks for saving me from looking that up! I knew it was the first half of the piece in Fantasia but couldn't remember the name.
The part while "Night On Bald Mountain" is playing gave me chills.
To be honest I was having some flashbacks to the Chernobog fight in Kingdom Hearts 1.
@Hyle Heatlerr I don't think you know what a weeb is
The lightning branches feel like a quantum particle exploring various possibilities and then collapse into a state.
Yes, very interesting, that may be what's going on. Also notice the branches are fractal, exactly the same as tree branches, blood vessels, natural water drainage pathways, etc. But why?
@@trevorjameson3213 im probably completely wrong on this one, but could it have something to do with taking the path of least resistance?
That's negative leader "stepping".
Negative leaders don't propagate continuously.. What essentially happens is that a tiny "space leader" develops in front of the leader tip and then attaches to the main leader itself. This process repeats continuously as the leader propagates.
With moderate framerate cameras (like what I use) this is seen as the leader tips being brighter than the rest of the channel. This is actually how you can tell negative vs. positive leaders. With very high framerates (50,000+ fps) we can see that the negative leader stepping forward and causing a luminosity pulse back along the channel as it does so.
This is absolutely mesmerizing. I'd love more lightning and thunder footage at some point.
Looking for time stamp... 4:55 didn't find one so here you go

It’s interesting how when large things in this universe are slowed down or sped up, the patterns look the same as small things. These huge, super fast lightning bolts look like neurons firing in one of our little brains. Parts of Space looks like explosions that aren’t finished yet.
I mean they basically are
Nebulas are just the remnants of stars that went supernova
My favourite occasion. Just two guys in a hotel room with their suitcases of camera equipment.
Amazing to see at this scale how the 'tendrils' seek the path of least resistance, and once the best one starts to reach its connection, robs the others of their energy
It's less a path of least resistance, and more just random searching. A though experiment I've heard of is comparing the tendril to a 60 metre diameter sphere. The tendril moves in radii in random directions, and essentially whichever branch or feeler makes contact first is the one where all the energy is transferred. It's like having a group of ants trying to get from one side of ravine to another (and the ants are blind). smaller groups split off from the main group into ever smaller branches, and whichever group finds the other side first somehow sends a signal and the other groups follow the scent trail exactly to get to the other side of the ravine, regardless of whether or not it's the shortest route.
Can you imagine if lightning was actually this slow...?
Mr. Tattoo ASMR..... I’m Scared Now xD...
Just imagine the lightning coming down at you at that speed I would burst out laughing
I would then proudly say that I am lightning fast.
My dad could be alive today
You could actually dodge it, that would be so cool. I bet it would be an extreme sport where people go out in faraday cage suits in storms and try to dodge.
That was awesome! I love lightning, and seeing it in slo-mo is really fascinating.

hopefully one day someone will capture the return bolt in slowmo
I'm pretty sure there are cameras that can take light speed in slow motion but the thing is that it'll be much better if it was the size of a phantom for example.
@@awiseseal7559 no, there aren't. What you're talking about is the MIT project that using information from various sensors, a pulsing light source, a still scene, and a camera were able to generate footage at a trillion frames per second. Note that the generation process takes all the hundreds of frames taken and stitches them using the data taken by the sensors.
The camera itself is unable to do this, and I honestly really doubt it'll ever be possible to do it in real time and in any random scene. That's because the data will have to inevitably come out the photosensor (a single pixel) somehow, travel some distance which is limited by, unironically, light speed, and then be processed and stored by electronics that are also limited by light speed.
That means that every single centimeter that you add to the recording pipeline is a centimeter that the light will travel per frame. So if your entire pipeline was one centimeter long, you'd be able to see light travel though a standard 30 cm ruler in a second at 30 fps.
@@davidflores909 Ah well
@@davidflores909 What are you talking about? The camera which would be able to do this could have just multiple sensors. Your info about length of a pipeline also does not make much sense. The fact, that the data are traveling through something (lets say a wire/optical cable.. just for some clear discussion) does not mean, you cant send another data right after it. So you could just capture the light travel in your examle at 200 FPS - if your sensor is able to do so - and then wait till the data are processed. Was majority of modern cameras are not limited by speed of a sensor - but limited by speed and capacity of ram - for this very reason - they cant process the data fast enough to save them - so they just save the raw image data in the ram, till its full and process it afterwards.
@@davidflores909 , surely they could use the mirror method ( /watch?v=vluzeaVvpU0 ) , but have the mirror track the light using computer software, should be good enough for lightning at a medium distance.
