U.S. Navy: Record Breaking Rail Gun Shot
December 13th, 2010When I was at Brooks Institute in the 1990s, I used to be fascinated by the work done by the people who specialized in high speed photography (although, the food photography freaks were the weirdest kids on campus). I learned a bit about how speed stuff works, but that was a long time ago. Speeds […]
