Science in the Community: Vacuum Chambers, Blast Shields, and Shockwave Schlierens

New Mexico Tech Mecanical Engineering Department is bringing you three sub-presentations: Shockwave Schlierens with Dr. Hargather, Vacuum Chamber Fun, and Blast Shield Basics.

Shockwave Schlierens covers optical analysis of shockwaves from explosions.

Vacuum chamber fun demonstrates what happens when you put random items in a vacuum.

Blast shield basics explains what blast shields are, how they are tested (with video examples from EMRTC), and an example build.
