The Slow Mo Guys (Gav and Dan) attempt to create a massive explosion of color using 25 airbags, each filled with a different colored powder paint. They initially set up the airbags in an "X" shape and wire them to explode simultaneously, but only about half go off. They then modify their setup to use two airbags per color and change the lighting. The second attempt is more successful, creating a vibrant rainbow effect. The duo tries a third time, this time front-lighting the airbags and using a different camera angle, which results in an even more impressive and colorful explosion.
