B5 Photo Gallery of a Water Balloon Impact / b5-dbcnce-26 Daniel Beyer, Christian Estes, and Chelsea Nielsen 9/22/2005
This photo was the first one we took
with our long-delay sensor. The sensor was designed to capture the instant as the
balloon bounced back up after hitting the sensor. On this drop, we did not drop
the balloon straight down, therefore the balloon bounced off to one side of the sensor,
keeping us from getting an
ideal picture.
