Week01 - Gmod Experiment 02 - The Effect of Explosion on Human Body

The following three clips mirror the found explosion machinima called Combat: Episode 2 (See also Machinima – EXPLOSION 02). They were investigated on the effect of explosion on human body in different environments including water, air, and ground.

BODY EXPLOSION ON WATER

Test l – Human was a main component in this experiment. The experiment was focused on how people were affected by explosion on water surface. The power of dynamites forced human bodies to bounce or drop down from the boats. Its effect also caused the boats to be wrecked. This suggests the idea of porosity as the explosion effects surrounding objects.
Test ll – Test ll shows body explosion underwater. By shooting, it generated bubbles underwater. From the investigation, the bodies did not sink, but they floated slowly to the water surface.

BODY EXPLOSION IN THE AIR

Test l – This test shows the reaction between human and explosion in the air. The dynamite does not explode the human body in GMod, but the bodies are affected by that explosion. It caused human to bounce. The result was similar as testing the light wood boxes in previous experiment.
Test ll - The effect of explosion in the air did not only cause the death of human in the air, but also on the ground nearby.

BODY EXPLOSION ON THE GROUND

Test I – The test demonstrates two types of people group: non-responding people and responding people. After exploding the grenades, non-responding people were scattered in radial direction, whereas responding people ran away from the point of explosion.
Test ll - In comparison with body explosion underwater, it can be seen that on the ground, the power of gun has greater influential to human body. It forced the bodies far backwards. This may due to the density of water is greater than air.
