Combustion and Explosion Research

Understanding combustion and explosive phenomena is critical in automotive, aerospace, energy, and defense applications. Processes such as flame propagation, ignition timing, and detonation fronts occur in microseconds, making them impossible to study accurately with conventional cameras. High-speed imaging enables precise visualisation of these rapid events, helping engineers optimise performance, efficiency, and safety.

How Apex Slow Motion Helps

Using Phantom high-speed cameras, Apex Slow Motion provides extreme slow-motion footage of combustion and explosive events, allowing you to:

  • Analyse flame propagation within engines, burners, and combustion chambers.

  • Measure ignition timing for precise fuel control.

  • Observe detonation fronts in controlled testing environments.

  • Evaluate fuel efficiency and combustion chamber dynamics for design optimisation.

These insights allow engineers and researchers to improve efficiency, prevent failures, and enhance safety in critical systems.
