ball valve hard

description
This flipbook shows a 3/4" ball valve being opened at 1000 frames per second. For this shot I was trying to open the valve as quickly as a could. The exact position of the ball valve handle is hard to see so I may need to redo this one some point. From what can be seen it appears to open in about the same time as the normal one, maybe even slower. The lesson here is that just because something feels faster it doesn't mean it actually is faster.
reference objects
I'll try to remember to get some measurements.
