Uploaded and shared in Youtube by: UniversityofAlberta — High speed camera movie of a simulated cough over a fluid with properties similar to the human lung mucus treated with a new drug being developed at the University of Alberta. It shows how the carefully manipulated fluid properties causes the lung mucus to recoil and practically prevents the break up into small droplets that could carry infectious agents in airborne disease transmission. Actual time is approximately 200 miliseconds. The movie was taken by Kyle Argue, a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Prof. Carlos Lange (Mechanical Eng.) and Prof. Malcolm King (Pulmonary Medicine).
