Mousetrap reactor (side view slow motion)
a physics experiment where it simulates nuclear fission. 100 mousetraps with 100 balls are set off in an enclosed area by one ball.

UM Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Department faculty held a forum for students on the Japanese nuclear situation on March 18. This forum was moderated by Professor Ron Gilgenbach and included a panel of experts on nuclear fission reactors, nuclear reactor safety, radiation dosimetry and human effects of radiation: Professor John Lee, Professor Thomas Downar, Professor William Martin, Professor Kimberly Kearfott and Professor (designate) Annalisa Manera. The following video records this forum. It should be kept in mind that the understanding of this situation has evolved as events unfold in Japan.

THE WAR BEGINS!!
use eggs for the next time
COOL
i was hoping to see slow motion. This is framefuckmotion!
That’s not slow motion. You’ve just choked the framerate. Fucking idiot
@futokshock lol classic
I like the dropping video’s here. . .
holy sh*t that is fast even in slow mo
@futokshock lol
thats what she said :D
haha the person almost missed dropping the ball in the hole
i read about this in “125 Physics experiments for the Evil Genius” but didn’t have 100 mousetraps
ROFL i would feel sorry if a rat wandered into that trap xD XD
Yes. It all makes sence now. Science be praised!
ok if i say do the same but wit a mouse…does tht make me sound like a maniac???
lol… not much… we know that was going to happen… but i give you respect for setting up all of it/
To show how a Nuke works…
Everyone likes Nukes!
SCIENCE!!!!!
makes me want popcorn
I am so doing something to this effect for my next video!!
lolsssssssssssssssss
xD lol is ja lustig.. xD
It demonstrates a chain reaction of Nuclear Fission. When nuclear things go BOOM!!
wtf is that?:o
its science!
@srkh28 Thanks!……… This is the first intelligent comment i have seen in any of this videos, no wonder we are in this mess!!…
There are new materials that promise to be much safer than what we have. We must invest in the search for a safe fuel, before it’s too late.
@korvelo Agreed. maybe a better summary is, reactors should be able to achieve safe self containment when unexpectedly destroyed. But I expect thats too expensive at the moment. It would mean a few more dead patches of the planet before the cost can be justified by large corps. – even then, that may force them to become a sunset technology.
@srkh28 You’re putting words in my mouth!. they are never 100% safe, but could be much safer.
First – all reactors are built in the wrong place and don’t have the proper safety mechanisms.
Second – if they wanted to build reactors, they should be built underground or inside of a mountain and in a way that they would self-bury in a worst case scenario.
Third – we should not build any reactor that involves dangerous materials.
@korvelo I hope you understand that there is no such thing as a 100% safe reactor. If you do believe this, you are the cause problem of why we have this problem in the first place.
Clueless Japanese engineers ( all others are just as clueless), not only they can’t design a safe reactor, with the proper back-ups, they can’t fix what is a SIMPLE ENGINEERING PROBLEM!….Japanese engineers can always find jobs at BP! The standards are just as low over there.
a bunch of scientists afraid of taking any responsibility in what they say so they end up pretty much saying I don’t know. All this can be learned from 5 minutes of the news. 100,000msv =only 0.5% increase in the chance of getting cancer is crap! If that is the case we should just let it all leak.This is an hour and a half saying “we don’t really know.”
