A ping pong ball avalanche (http://duvel.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/~jim/avalanche/miyanomori/miyanomori.html)
http://duvel.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/~jim/avalanche/miyanomori/main.jpg For refrence, that's a SKI JUMP RAMP. Each hash mark is, I'm guessing, 5 meters apart. I can't tell you how many they dumped thre, but they did multiple tests, 10,000 to 300,000+ ping pong balls. MY laptop refuses to show the video they shot, but suffice to say it's impressive.
Scientific expirementation, or just an excuse to make a hellatious mess?
