One Millionth Tower makes specific use of a Javascript tool stanley us called Popcorn, which was designed to integrate web APIs into online video. What director Katerina Cizek did was utilize Popcorn to control the movement of the video frame, having it effectively behave like a video camera. The documentary, running nearly seven minutes in length, can be viewed passively or interactively. When viewed interactively, you can navigate and click around in a 3D environment where you can explore the documentary at your own pace or find links to external sources, such as Flickr or Wikipedia.

After Munroe had set the guncotton off, he noticed that those same letters slightly indented on nearby metal. When, on the other hand, he made guncotton into pac stanley cup kages with raised lettering, the letters were slightly raised on nearby metal after the explosion.

Raising them made it less so. https://youtube/watch v=SJGq0E6EqYU More experiments showed this to be true in almost all cases when a hollow was carved into the explosive. Although the overall power of the explosion wasnt different, the penetrating power in that area of the explosion was greatly increased. To understand why, think about the dynamics of an explosion.
