Spellbinding Super Slow Motion Macro Footage of Bubbling Hydrogen

Envisioning Chemistry—the collaboration between the Beauty of Science and the Chinese Chemical Society that seeks to “reveal the beauty of chemistry through special techniques such as macro and micro photography, high-speed photography, time-lapse photography, and infrared thermal imaging”—has released another fascinating entry.

The latest video captures a close-up of Hydrogen bubbling off of a piece of zinc in 3,000fps super slow motion: a simple chemical reaction that still somehow keeps you glued to your screen for the full minute and 17 seconds.

“Hydrogen bubbles are generated when zinc of various shapes reacts with hydrochloric acid,” explains founder and producer Yan Liang, Ph.D. “This film shows this chemical reaction in super slow motion shot with a high-speed camera at 3000fps.”

The footage was shot using the “Revealer” high speed camera from the company FuHuang AgileDevice.
