Concept and Hypothesis

Concept
The concept for my filming documentary on the effects of explosions and porosity, is factoring in moving objects that travel at different velocities colliding in order to generate a forceful impact to trigger an explosion.

Hypothesis
If a moving object such as a car or train were to collide into explosive objects, the effect of the explosion would vary depending on which speed the moving object was traveling at. In general, the faster moving object, the more force is generated within the explosion.



A set of 40 stacked barrels, set out along 5 barrels across 4 rows high and 2 barrels deep. Each set out to be hit by a moving car entity travelling at different speeds. The exact same set of barrels will be collided with the 2 differentiating objects.


A set of stacked cubes, set up around the vicinity of the explosive barrels in order the measure the force of the explosion. By judging the distance of when the cubes are sent hurling outward by the explosion, we are able to tell the amount of force and exposure that each explosion produces in the experiment.
