  • How much weight can an exercise ball take before popping? We bring a ball to the Westpak testing facility and put it under their hydraulic press to push it to its breaking point. It's a lot more weight than we thought!

    How much is 2000 pounds? I mean, the rest of the world would like to know.

      Pipe down puppy.. At the end of the video ,Norman said that we will learn more about those machines in the future. So they have it all planned out and there will be a lesson to be learned at the end of it.

    I was taking online classes from 9 - 5 so I was having to sit for long periods at a time. czcams.com/users/postUgkxEhgucmXpcAGYh8fatGFEnOK2V97VIwhG After the first day in a regular table chair, I thought about an exercise ball and ordered one that night. It came the next day! My hips, legs, back and butt couldn't have been happier! I'm almost 5'11" and I ordered the largest size and it was perfect for me. I also have RLS (restless legs) and this helped so much.Pumping it up was a little challenging and definitely gives you a good arm workout, (I'm a 62 yo woman) but it's very doable. Getting the tape centered with the hole to inflate it and then getting the pin back in was also a little tricky. But I love my new "chair" and I love the torquiose color. Hopefully it will also get used for exercise. 😁

    • @Na0uta
      @Na0uta Před 8 lety +1

      Snootches Bootches Nah, I was just laying on the couch this morning with my mind wondering off to the paperwork I didn't do yesterday when I saw this video. And for some reason the way Norm talked just gave me the feeling like I might wanna punch him in the face. I'm a rather civilized person. Prefer to get my aggression out with video games or a constructive use of the energy by cleaning stuff. I also express myself by drawing or molding clay than destroying whatever you would call crappy art that people won't consider abstract. You know good wholesome things that won't ever hurt anyone, but makes ya feel good afterwards.
      But today I just felt like I would ask if anyone else felt like giving him a good old wallop? Maybe just on the side of the face, above the chin so it won't make him dizzy.

    I found it appropriate that they put the ball under compression strain, since that's exactly what happened to the video *of* the ball.

  • @ReallyWemja
    @ReallyWemja Před 8 lety +1

    I thought that the plug would just pop out at that pressure.
    I have seen someone fall trough a yoga ball once, the most likely explanation was that the ball got damaged and the material slowly ripped until it popped.

    I feel like this should have been done at least three times. Once with the ribbing on the ball parallel to the ground, once at a 45 degree angle, and once with it perpendicular. How the design of the yoga ball affects its structural integrity is far more interesting than just showing how tough they are.

  • @rubbers3
    @rubbers3 Před 8 lety +1

    There is one problem with that. This is only static weight, so it doesn't mean that you need to weigh 1.2 tonnes to burst a ball by jumping on it. To do so, you need much less, but how much exactly depends, as far as I know, on the speed and surface area.
    Imagine a bed of nails - one nail will run straight through your body, but you can lay on multiple of them. It you were to be dropped on the same bed you laid on before, they could still manage to hurt you.

  • @huaili3606
    @huaili3606 Před 8 lety +1

    While that's interesting, I'm more interested in how much force (F=ma) is needed to burst it. I don't weight a ton, but if I jumped on one of those balls, would it burst? I'm not going to, and this is kinda cool, but not as useful as you'd think.

    • @CloudHater
      @CloudHater Před 8 lety

      It should be pretty easy to calculate force by weight. 1 kg of weight equals 10N of force.

    • @huaili3606
      @huaili3606 Před 8 lety

      RadioLogicalHazard
      I'm no physicist, but isn't static force different from (?)dynamic (don't know if that's the right term). Like, if you put a bunch of weights on something, that's different than dropping a weight, isn't it? Honestly, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm always willing to learn.

    • @CloudHater
      @CloudHater Před 8 lety

      well I'm not a physicist either but force IS mass and acceleration so dropping a small weight on something quickly is kinda the same force as putting a heavier weight on it slowly. I think.

    • @huaili3606
      @huaili3606 Před 8 lety

      I'm still no expert, so correct my erroneous thinking: I can put a lot of weight on a brick and it won't break. I can drop a brick from chest height and it will break. The brick is fine when it comes to static force/weight, but very weak against dynamic force. I'm open to correction, but that's my take. Just as I can drop a brick and break it with very little force compared to the weight it can take, is the same true for this ball?

    • @CloudHater
      @CloudHater Před 8 lety

      Huai Li well when it's getting stopped by the brick after going fast that's more acceleration so you need less weight for the same acceleration. However maybe there could be a difference in duration of the force so I really don't know. I think it's about the same for the ball, though

  • @melsiwe333
    @melsiwe333 Před 8 lety +1

    Hi, I don't really like this test. It seems strange, as the force used to burst the ball will surely be higher when using a large flat surface like that compared to a person sitting or bouncing on it. Therefore the initial hypothesis you were talking about is not represented in the test. Just my five cents, no offence.

    After watching tested for quite some time, this video kinda caught me off guard, I enjoy looking to tested for original material an interesting look inside the maker space, movie industry, prop design, coverage of events, etc. This kinda seems almost too simple and lacking the general creativity tested inspires. If we putting aside the fact that there are other "let's press it" channels there still remains an opportunity to add a bit of a "myth busters flare" to it better explaining the science and reactions combined with perhaps a more climactic or more intriguing test material. If pressing is to become a regular staple in the channel then press that which shalt not be pressed and above all have fun with it.
    That being said keep up the good work and I look forward to your future vids and hopefully some more in depth coverage of the battle bots competiton. :)

    All of a sudden every CZcams channel has a hydraulic press.. Leave it to the pros, because if not trained properly, the items may attack at anytime

    You guys need to hire Cody's Lab to do sciencey stuff, squashing a ball is a bit, well, boring, filling one with hydrogen and oxygen and popping it would be fun, or putting excessive dry ice chunks inside it to see if it pops would also be fun, but, squashing it under a press, nah, needs more excitement...
