- We turned world's fastest press Smashinator 5 000 000 to soda bottle tossing catapult! We also launch mannequin with this world craziest teeter-totter. We also film the launch with Chronos 1.4 high speed camera so you can see how it works. Will the catapult be able to take full anger from Smashinator or will it break?
Don't try this at home!

Ryan Rombalski nearly all great science projects are created at home first because we all know that the ideas hit us in the middle of the night and we hafto try it right then Lol.
@@stacyreid5077 An nobody funds your crazy Ideas until you have proven something.
Fabian Kehrer you're so right
As soon as they started recording their results it stopped being stupid and started being scientific
Flying a kite in a lightning storms not too smart either !!🤪🤦🏻♀️
6:35 "Almost success" is a great way of describing a failure! :)
Its like a near miss.
Every failure is a success that just needs a bit of tweaking
You thinned the board the wrong way, you went top to bottom, next time thin side to side. Cool idea!!!
Exactly
It’s not that the grain was the wrong way, it’s as Badgermatt75 2016 said, it needs to be thinner on the sides (the width of the beam) and the height should remain the same. The same way an I beam would be installed.
and watch how the grain runs too, should have been rotated 90 degrees.
A bit of steel bracing along the top edge should do it... Wood is better in compression than tension.
Maybe even drill a hole through the whole length and then a plate and bolt on each end so the entire piece of log is under compression.
Came here to say this.
at least thin the underside because there is compression on top is stress so there should be uncut fibers to the end.
Newest innovation from the Finnish space program:
Finland does make radar-imaging satellites, so this is very rudimentary compared to that.
@@viadia3186 and Outokumpu steel for the SpaceX starship!
Via Dia wooooosh
The slowmotion whistle of the air escaping is so satisfying
It took me a minute to realize is wasn't them adding the "object falling down" whistle in post like an old-timey cartoon lol
“Don’t try this at home, this is stupid”... the catchphrase of literally everything I want to try at home
I would love to see a Nellie compilation vid- I love friendly cats like her.
I second that
The spring steel upgrade sounds like a very, very good idea!
Yes, do the spring steel version. Spring will store energy and hopefull give all that energy to the launch object.
I've been watching y'all's videos since month 1 and I'm still blown away by how beautiful the area you live is.
It's also the log-tosser five million!
The Finnish pneumatic/mechanical version of the Scottish "Caber Toss." 👍😀
It WAS a rather impressive toss too. 🤓
How many logs could a log-tosser toss, if a log-tosser could toss logs?
id make a steel "attachment" that puts a lever point that pivots on a bearing to the frame. i could see some cool stuff being laucnhed into the stratosphere
Hey that's a great idea!
Beyond the press if you made that a video I would cream.
A fulcrum with direct pivot point (triangular) or a semi-circular fuclrum would be good to try and bolt both the Smashinator and fulcrum to a steel plate. I'd be inclined to research or try both fulcrum styles.
@@Beyondthepress I was going to suggest the same thing. Have the catapult attach to the frame so that it's all one piece.
It would need a serious ground anchorage, otherwise everything woul jump up together.
Run Nelli. Run away!🐈😂
The soda bottle went pretty high, but I really liked how the see-saw lever flips up and over the Smashinator.👍
Finland's version of Tossing The Caber. 😂👌
I was really worried that it will hit and break the valve but it seems to fly over every time
@@Beyondthepress it's the little unexpected things like that which add so much entertaining flair to the videos. 👍👍👍👍👍
Try a longer fulcrum and use a chain the tie down the one end so it don't fly too high
New name for heavy metal band:
"Flying Fulcrums"
Cat-a-pult 5million
I live in South Texas and your channel is basically the only thing that reminds me that other places get real winters.
Please give Nelli a spacesuit before you launch her into orbit.
I gave this a thumbs up just from the title alone. With these two it just has to be a good laugh. Do try watching them at home.😊😉🤣🤣
10:29
Can we take a moment enjoying this nature beauty 😍
I agree Lauri,a spring steel teeter/totter system(pinned at middle)would work like gangbusters.
I couldn't help but notice Nellie was giving Annie alot of"kisses".HAHA!!.
The drone view of the lake was very beautiful,it reminds me of how it looks here in the states.Excellent video as always.😎👍
Best science channel on CZcams.
Take two Finns with some curiosity, a good sense of humor and a little science knowledge, add a camera and some tools and see what they come up with to entertain themselves and us. Perfection!
Hey Lauri.....steel catapult beam, fixed pivot point(hinge), anchor Smashinator to the ground = new altitude record!!!
Part of the problem on the second run is that the lever never got a chance to accelerate properly; it was hit by a piston that had already reached a high-energy state. Having the pivot and the Smashinator welded to the a large plate would fix it.
The spring steel one sounds like a great idea. If the ratio between the arms is big enough you might get things supersonic which would be incredible although I don't know what kind of setup would that take or if the crazy forces involved would be out of the possible even with steel. A movable pivot that is bolted to thick steel welded to the smashinator frame might be a good idea as you could play with that ratio instead of just with the pressure and it might be easier to hit higher speeds that way.

Needs to be a t-shirt
*sadly puts away my Smashinator*
This video really launched my week! Thanks Anni and Lauri!
Normal Finnish sport in the Snow 🤗.
Great photography guys, thanks for sharing.
Beyond the press.... resupplying ISS SpaceStation, one bottle at a time. 🤣👍
Sayin "ISS Space Station" is dumber than saying "ATM machine" . You're welcome.
Awwwwww, is that the only thing you could think off commenting.? Wow. Sad.
Forget resupply. Crew transfer. 😂
B Web How did they get back to earth just jump?
@@peeree2983 that could be the slight problem with the plan...
When the video started and I saw you standing there with the cat I had a wave of panic for a second... Lol.
That is some beautiful scenery at the end.
Rename the channel to "Crazy Man With Tools, also a Wife and Cat"
'Sane Cat tolerates resident staff . . . until approximately 12 seconds after dinner' ?
This is revolutionary for post to sweden and the baltic. Put a package on and it will be there in minutes.
Any video with Nelli is internet gold
This is the brand new finnish military equipment.
I think that the Finnish army already has all the firepower they need. czcams.com/video/nQYkI8FicAU/video.html
A leaf spring from an old car would make the perfect lever.
Relly nice! I think spring steel will be awesome! Because that will bend, when hit by the piston - then spring back. That will probably increase the catapult effect even more, than if you just have a rigid bar that doesn't break
When you stepped over that beam I thought my god what a nut shot
You know, I'm not sure anyone has said this but it's really awesome that you two both seem to really enjoy these kinds of things. It's like work and date night all in one. 🤣
lol,,,lol,,,lol
this was fun!
nice views of the lake too!
👍
Great stuff, can't wait for steel "log" version.
We are all grateful you did not make it a *literal* cat-a-pult five million.
Looks like the piston is traveling a long way until it hits the beam. Then the beam accelerates for some centimeters and that's it because the piston has lost most of its kinetic energy.
I think it would be much better if the piston was in contact with the beam from the beginning somehow. Maybe with a smaller beam that stands on the larger one and protrudes into the cylinder.
Of course it would add to the over all mass what would also be a downside...
But the bottle would accelerate over a much longer way and the beam would not break as easy due to inertia because there wouldn't be as high energy peak. Would be worth a try I guess.
Of course the whole smashinator should be fixed to the ground then too.
When I saw the cat and the smashinator I thought:"That's going to far now!" :-)
1:30" Oh wait, I get it! Cat-a-pult. LOL
I don't know what I enjoy more the content or your reactions...probably both equal
At least the finish space program retsart with brend new idea and well known technology. Keep on the work for the best :D
Finland does make radar-imaging satellites, so this is very rudimentary compared to that.
"That was three, so I think we're going to try five"
🤣
Beautiful winter shot of the lake, glad I stuck around!
This is such a great idea. I can see more catapults in your future!
More shining moments for Science!!
Yes... Use spring steel in the next one! 🤘
It looks as if Nellie has grown lovely thick fur for the winter. My cat solves the same problem by staying indoors and on a bed.
I like the bravery and determination of the stunt person.
9:34
The way it goes up in the air is like:
*"Why Me? No matter, it must be done!"*
What a disapointment! I thought the cat was going up too. Well, congrats kitty, you managed to save yourself a life this time as well!
The stuntman could be drax from infinity war: "its ok quill i can take it!"
Great video as always. That final drone shot at the end was beautiful
I love the way your brains work *evil grin*
We love this channel … most useless fun stuff in the world! Hahaha ...
Metal base with triangulated bracing that can bolt to the smashinator. Bearings mounted to that spring steel lever you were talking about. Tons more energy delivered.
Seems like you're not far from launching people into space. This will be a commercial success!
Bonus points for the well-fed cat!
Nelli Cat!, she always looks so fluffy when its cold out.
Comical when you launched the little dead body thing. In the slo-mo, it looked like it was crapping something out as it went airborne!
That is a well fed cat!
Love you guys... great content...
My goodness that boards a really heavy duty like 8x8 or something like that n it's thrown like a toothpick. I only just recently found you guys and i can't get enough i love watching. Keep up the stupid dangerous stuff lol.
You guys sure know how to have a good time
this is still my fav machine you have. love seeing new crazy stuff like this
Try using something round as a pivot point!!! Another good video as always though, keep it up guys!
To stop the beam from breaking, put 4 metal sheets on each side along the fullcrum. Then span either metal or textile bands around them before and after the fullcrum to create tension to keep the bands in place but distribute some of the load along a longer section of the beam.
I love the whistle sound it makes when the air releases.
Sort of reminds me of the physics experiment where you break a wood ruler with only one piece of paper...
No No no No.... *NOT PEPSI!!!* .... oh wait.... it's just A Pepsi..... Not little kitty Pepsi.. *phew!* lol
The spring steel idea is good, only thing I would change is to run a tie down across the fulcrum so the beam wouldn't launch as well
That cat is delicious.
I would like to see a more compact Smashinator for indoor or desk experiments and set up and loading would be quicker. Smashinators little brother/sister
Thair escaping in slow motion sounds like a Stuka.
Cool vid, use a leaf spring from a truck to launch stuff
The snow looks beautiful. Finally. ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄👍
Atlas said" Give me a lever long enough and I can lift the earth". I say "Change the fulcrum and I can accelerate the earth to light speed"!
Turn the smashinator downside up and make a launcher that way🧐 the piston would push the projectile.
it won't go that fast. The teetertotter multiplies the speed when done right
The air escaping the cylinder sounds like a falling bomb on the slow-mo footage.
I think it would be more effective if you could hanker the smashinator to a concrete slab, that way you’ll preserve most of the momentum from the cylinder without the frame moving upward. Awesome channel by the way, love your vids 👍
A TIP! Below the lever, put rounded wood or object instead of square, so pressure goes even when lever is moving.
That thing makes the coolest noises in slow motion. lol. 8:22pm long whine followed by the crazy growl.
That would be a cat-apult!!!
This comment needs more likes!!! :D

Really hope to see the steel one :D
Some people wait for christmas or new year. I wait for frozen lake videos!!! it's the most wonderful time of the year
I like this it was new and different great job hope for more of this
That once again shows why so many metal workers hate the wood. It brakes for no reason all the time and then it rotts away outdoors like no mans business. So metal is better!
You guys are so awesome!! And you guys are so funny !! I'd love to see springed steel! That would also so cool !!!
You almost became the first person to shoot down a drone with a Pepsi can. ;-) Seriously, I’d like to see you try this again with a spring steel bar.
You've cut the wood across the grain where it should work under tension. Just cut from the bottom or also from the sides. You can also add pretensioned steel sheet on top.
What might help you:
Install a small wooden plank sideways (the wide side facing upwards) onto the thick plank you have there. I used this to make a 2m wide shelf that easily supports 80+kg without flexing and only 18mm thick planks (with ~40x20mm planks as support).
A new way to cut firewood. Cool.
Wood grain fracture make things unpredictable. Just use a leaf spring with a cup on one end and a Smashinator target on the other end.
You will definitely take the Finnish space program forward. ;) Keep it up.
Finland does make radar-imaging satellites, so this is very rudimentary compared to that.
There is snow everywhere and he’s like winter has been really warm 🤣
That lake should definitely be frozen by now though. I find even here in Canada it's been so warm. In general though I find our winters are warmer and we don't get as much snow as we used to.
Red Squirrel I agree, but living in Southern California, that looks pretty cold for me 🥶
The snow came just last week.
Hillarious idea 😀
Stabilize the frame of the Smashimator with forklift forks.
Keep a downward force so it doesn't jump.
The Finnish space program is off to a good start
In lever mechanism support beam contact point should be pointed or rounded. Contact time of impact is very small because or two contact point in your system. Sudden change in support beam lever point
