The power of an explosion is not from the blast itself but from the shockwave it creates - despite it being invisible to the naked eye.

Richard Hammond (BBC) has used the latest camera technology to capture an explosion in super slow-motion to see the destructive power of the shockwave in action.

Thousands of pounds worth of gunpowder were used to create the controlled blast in New Mexico.

Ultra slow motion footage of several thousand pounds of black powder exploding, showing very clearly the otherwise invisible shock wave. Music: Paul Haslinger - 'Haitian Cab Ride (Crank OST)'.
