It could be a shutter effect where the top of the frame is older than the bottom. Im not sure if i got the name of the effect right but its something like that

[alnonymous]

Rolling shutter. Smarter every day. Destin explains this in extreme detail.
Basically your slo mo camera is not nearly fast enough.

[aprilialover]

It's due to your cameras rolling shutter. It basically scans gyros the bottom up in your case

[Ds-emxz]

Been awhile since photography school. I believe this relates to the progressive scan of your camera sensor (top to bottom in line). It could be your camera shutter, but you’d have an uncommon actuation orientation. It usually distorts diagonally.

[OPCombat]

It is the camera shutter. Basically your camera records video in likes and not in frames and the bottom of the picture is recorded first then each line upwards is recorded in order from bottom to top. When something happens this quickly your camera will record it in separate frames. A faster camera would not detect light before the explosion.

[nicorellius]

Ooh, this would be a great slow mo guys video. I want to get a closer look at that!

[NoName-OG]

Frame scanning. Unlike the old days of film - portions of a digital image are interpolated - part of an image with part of an image based on what the computer thinks is “moving” is what portion of what image changes. The stud that doesn’t seem to change gets left behind until the next scan.

You just caught a portion during editing that has remnants of old image with parts of new image - and what your software thought changed.

[jamest.]

It's the way the camera records the frames, a faster camera will probably look different, a camera that will record fast enough to play that out over 5-10 hours will probably look different, 500k frames per second, it's probably closer to same time the camera scanning probably makes it look so amazingly odd.. the slo-mo guys nay work with you on this!!

"This is tripping me out man" - it tripped the breaker out too.

[Drsteezymcgee]

What I think is super cool about this is that the light is the same color as nuclear reactors. Radiance is a beautiful rabbit hole

[coxbyof]

And this is why electricity scares the beejeebus out of me!

[quantumfoam]

Rolling shutter. Next time contact your wires near a vertical wall and you'll see the explosion at the same time as the light.

[Jackass]

All about your shutter speed bud. Gotta love the speed of light 😂. Thanks for all the awesome videos lately Dustin!!

[ITRMUGENITR]

Destin at smarter every day combined with electro boom, that would be awesome

[johnburgess]

I'm thinking either a) ionizing the air (arc) just before the wires touch, or b) as the wires touch (lightly at first), and that the instantaneous voltage at that exact time isn't the full peak voltage of the sine wave, so less current then. But stand back, that next half-cycle will bring it all on!

(Is "rolling shutter" still a thing with digital photography? I got some strange-looking pictures of airplane propellers with my SLR (focal plane shutter) in the '70's), and "rolling shutter" is 100% the reason then.)

[GimmilFactory]

Rolling shutter. Or. Light outside of our visual spectrum is being translated through the metal material into the visible light spectrum.

[jasonhand]

perhaps it is interacting with the electromagnetic field around the wires first

[markchidester]

This is cool!
Lucky capture for sure even with high speed camera.
You just proved the answer to a question i have always had.
Is electricity as fast as the speed of light?
Nope and you just proved it

[dunckeroo]

You'ld need a lot more current than that to distort the local space-time. Most likely an artifact of the camera scan progression.

[minime]

Yeah, rolling shutter bud. The frame is taken from bottom to top, because it happens so fast you end up with the effect. VSauce have a great vid on it.
