I really hope they owned and were not renting that house. I loved the water bed.

I had no idea flour was fammable, And I cant beleive they fit 4000 gallons into a waterbed bladder

Nice find. I wonder if that fire experiment was strickly flour or mixed with non-dairy creamer. If you've never tried it, get a packet of NDC and blow it across a flame. Probably best to do it outdoors.

:D

That's how grain elevator explosions occur. Just about any powder that is that fine will burn under those conditions. And I think the waterbed was filled with 4000 liters, so a bit under 1000 gallons.

A buddy of mine here at SwRI (http://www.boulder.swri.edu/), Dan Durda, does research on asteroid collisions and spends a bunch of time at places like the NASA Ames Research Center using their high velocity gun. These things can launch projectiles at speeds of several miles per second. I think this one was done on our campus down at San Antonio:

and here are some stills:

They've got various setups down there to study things like impacts on aircraft (e.g. we did the empirical analysis of what caused shuttle Columbia to fail on re-rentry). They've got cameras that will do 100 million frames per second. :)

The things I would do for a Phantom or Red camera.
