We Shattered Silly Putty and Hit a Gong with a Supersonic Baseball (Patreon)

Thank you for supporting Smarter Every Day.  By doing so you are directly supporting DATA TIME! I thought the silly putty was very interesting because it kind of shattered, almost like glass.... but it still stretched in some places.  Quite bizarre.  The gong of course was  super interesting as well.  

How on earth do you make a title and thumbnail for a video like this?  I was most excited about the results of the mirror shot, but that gong shot was pretty amazing as well!

Obviously none of this would happen without your continued support!  I REALLY want to tell you about the interesting experiment I have planned for the baseball cannon, but alas, it must remain on the down low until I can actually make it work.  I've already tried once, but failed.  Thanks again! 

Warm Regards,

Destin

Hopefully what I'm sharing isn't the top-secret idea, but I pictured the idea of you using a baseball glove (catcher, I suppose) to use as the target vs the cannon. And, to 'catch' with a baseball glove from an approximate distance when factoring distance, velocity, drag, etc.

It'd be interesting to shoot it through a series of metal grids so that maybe the ball can end up sliced at the end once it breaks through the first, oh, 20 grids! Keep killing it with excellent content!

This is such a cool project! I'm not a huge fan of graphing on plywood, but thanks for doing it anyway! I'm looking forward to the finished graph! The target idea I came up with while watching this is a big piece of memory foam. I don't know if you're still taking suggestions, but I thought I'd throw it out there!

Richard Henderson

Target idea: Large diameter clear acrylic tube. Example here: https://www.mcmaster.com/8486K835/. Fill with water and seal with thin acrylic sheet on both ends. Seal with acrylic solvent/glue/silicone or equivalent. Fire the baseball through the tube axially. May be able to witness cavitation as the pipe fails simultaneously.

I just read an article about a chicken cannon on CNN and it reminded me to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/aviation-chicken-cannons-guns-cmd/index.html

Hello, I just became a new patreon supporter. I had an idea for your baseball cannon. A 1 cubic ft. (Or larger) SOLID BLOCK of lego bricks.

My son wants to see a baseball shot through a car. Into the driver's door and out the passenger's door.

You may not be taking suggestions for the baseball cannon anymore...but if you are...Stretch armstrong...

I'd love to see what this would do to a few panes of bulletproof glass, like How Ridiculous does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iJE8Lyvvls

There’s a chicken cannon at SWRI also, in San Antonio TX. If you’re super bored, SWRI puts on a fantastic Penetration Mechanics course (3 days if I remember correctly) to cover the technical side of impacts (they skip the interior ballistics, it’s more about calculating penetration depths, including the simulation tools incl. hydrocodes).

I was unable to suggest this earlier but I have a suggestion for any future baseball canons, Since I'm Canadian I MUST throw down the gauntlet and challenge a baseball to a hockey puck Or even better, an array of hockey pucks in a dartboard shape loosely held together for target practice. Maximum mayhem, accuracy is key. Chaos ensues!

I have just now seen that video and the results were truly awesome! I've had the impression, that the gong just moved a tiny bit from the impact, but was then blown away from the shockwave of the canon. It would be really interesting, to set up a second metal plate in front of the gong with a hole in it, so just the baseball would hit the gong, not the shockwave. This might actually be a really interesting setup for a lot of impact-related data.
