Please consider supporting these projects through my patreon: / stuffmadehere Although very fun, these videos are very time consuming and expensive.
The previous explosive bat was cool, but it wasn't setting any records. I set out to design a bat that could beat Babe Ruth's home run record of 575 feet. The engineering was intense but the results are spectacular. Aside from attempts on the record, you can also look forward to some awesome high speed footage of the bat in action and a special guest.
This video could not have been made without the help of Destin from Smarter Every Day. Not only did he provide the high speed camera, he also shared all his footage from testing the bat. He made a more in depth video on what happens when this this bat goes boom. Check it out!

"How to deal with failure and pick yourself back up" lmao
Thank you for letting me visit and letting me TIG weld a bit. Some thoughts moving forward...
I think the performance of the explosive bat design might be HELPED by the mad batter, but HURT by the supersonic cannon. The Mad Batter relies on squish and rebound, so my theory is that a higher pitching velocity would help normal bats.... but I think higher pitching velocities might actually perform worse with the explosive bat design. I'm thinking this because of the way we saw the bat initially slow down at impact.
"Just starting out"
Has 1.1 million subs
not to mention the ball would most likely not survive the impact as the KE of the baseball would either just snap the bat or the ball would rip itself apart
I just come here from your video.
hey you two should make a ping pong robotic arm. it would be more useful since we can play ping pong with this

also destin, in huntsville whenever covid is full over there is a middle school and high school racing series called Greenpower USA. many teams across the country and it is getting alot of kids into the STEM field. would love to see you out there. be aware however as some teams are more genuine than others in the amount of work the students do. The format is a single seat formula style electric endurance race.

"This is the first time this has failed, (need to make it stronger).... in order to put more steel in here I have to completely redesign this, I hate doing things the right way..."

A Man must do what a man do
Makes you realize how insane it is that a human being hit 575 with a piece of wood
Steroids
Not to be a buzzkill, but it's pretty unlikely anyone actually hit the ball 575 feet.. Now that we have actual laser measurements and camera systems designed to track the ball electronically, and aren't relying on eyeball accountsany more, no one in Major League history has hit a ball further than 504 feet. Still a mammoth shot but not quite 575.
@@michaelwarner278There are two things here. Firstly, he is hitting a steady ball, which means he is not adding any extra force, just the one generated by his arms + explosion. Secondly, when you are hitting a ball in a normal match, you need to consider the force that the pitcher is applying to the ball, which is added to the one generated by the player and the bat. Considering that they are pros and practice every single day, they apply much more force to the ball. If you do the math, you will see how that affects the final result.
How many rifle rounds did the guy that hit the original MLB record have in his arms?
yo i did a thing
probably 1.5.

This feels like a legendary zombie killing weapon, which should highlight how dangerous it is.
it gives me big vibes to the pulverizer from killing floor 2, which is literally a shotgun hammer.

About turning the bat into a golf club: There is a commercially available golf club that uses the exact same principle you use here with the bat. You load in a certain number of blank shells and the ball will fly different distances depending on how many are loaded. It's primarily used by those with disabilities in moving their arms and allows them to still play golf. It's remarkably consistent in terms of accuracy and distance from what I've seen.
Yo
i did not expect you here
Pog
i literally went from watching hermitcraft, to Destins video to here lol
How do you know this?
Would you like to see an even stronger version of this bat hit by a supersonic pitch from @smartereveryday's baseball cannon while spinning on the mad batter? I sure would...
NOT FIRST
yeah i would love to see one
At this point you could just do a collab with CERN and help them with researching the Big Bang
I was waiting fot this vid
It feels great to see you work with smartereveryday, honestly.

Also, it's "just" a 25 minute video edited down from days, weeks, months of work. He could've made a whole series of videos from this project alone, but tbh this format is perfect for me. Just enough background info to understand how much work goes into it.

How to crush the record: Make two of your bats and put them on Dustin's contraption that spins around.
Haven't watched the vid about that contraption... but I question how quickly it spins up... because if the bat spinner spins up fast enough, the inertia of the piston and contact plate might be enough to fire the shells. And that piston being launched in a random direction... well... unsafe is probably the mildest term to use.
There's also an upper limit to how much abuse a baseball can take. If you splatter the ball on contact, it's not going anywhere.
People will think it's artillery fire.

SPLOOSH!
I think that's what they are planning to do, while pitching with the cannon
Absolutely fantastic.

Hey man, I recently found your channel, and I wanted to say that I'm already in awe of the things you’re able to do, especially the ability to solve all of the inevitable errors. I'm an amature programmer, but watching what you do is really motivating. And by the way, none of this stuff is a waste of time; aside from the entertainment value, you create incredible things, which are always worth the time. Looking forward to watching more! Take care!

this is way over my head but fascinating none the less. The forces involved must be crazy...I wonder if there is a way to make the exhaust gases come back and push the bat forward too....kinda make use of all that sound energy too

@@since1876 I love that there's so many "maker" channels out there now. I'd throw Colin Furze in there too, but at some point I guess you might have too many cooks in a collab.
Your videos are so cool. Can't belive I didn't know about you. Someone told me about your channel in a fb comment section on a short with this bat! So sick, I'm a mechanic not an engineer but have alot of respect for ya. Very interesting stuff 👌 might just need to expand my knowledge.
The best solution for this is to apply a choke exhaust port and to apply baffles like what a gun suppressor does. The expanding gas is no where to go thus it create a lot of impact stress to the metal. if you channeled a exhaust port with baffles it will significantly reduce the expanding on gas giving a chance for the piston rod to decelerate (you can use hydraulic as replacement to a spring so it is not impact metal to metal).

What scares me more than a metal bat swinging at me with enough force to crack my head open like 5 times over, is the fact that babe Ruth had the exact same amount of force in his arms like damm
Imagine how far he could hit a 90mph pitch with this bat.
Plus the balls today are so much better quality wise
Babe also had loaded bats! Not taking away from the athletic talent he had without a loaded bat was still crazy but enhancers like a loaded bat could make a regular person look pretty good!
@Justin Neri love that you’re coming in here with the facts :)

“Load THE 105mm”
i like how he explains physics like we all know what it means but also says "four...thats one more than three"
I never knew that tho :O
Not all of us are mathematicians you know
I may be good at physics but not everyone has the time to learn math
He's stupid af and it's sad that you people find this impressive. Let's just start it off by his welding aluminum. No. The plates aluminum. No. Nothing about the design of the lever bat would logically work. Wtf? His aluminum plates busted time and time again. He keeps using it. His chambers aluminum that he's putting primers in. The dude's stupid. He calls it a .50 cal. It's not. He's using .27 cal blank PRIMERS. He's tripping over forces that are next to nothing compared to the force you feel while holding any larger caliber fire arm. Smh... He's pretty damn dumb, with some cool tools, and a wimp. Lol maybe if he'd gone to school for his field.. He'd at least know what materials to use. Also not weld the damn aluminum. Anyone that went to trade school for mechanics or welding knows that welded aluminum's an absolute NO GO for structural integrity. Hell they don't even weld it in air planes for integrity. They fasten it! Bolts. Rivets. He needs to go to school for mechanical engineering.
name_ less well, if we’re being honest. he’s actually just an average guy. Like I’m just in high school on a robotics team, and he makes things just like I do. And anyone can so.
An idea for the final bit of stroke.. your stop rods could probably benefit from a reduced pressure at the final few mm of travel. If you could somehow vent the gas right as the stop rods hit the springs it could reduce the force enough to keep everything intact. Just need to figure out the timing of when you want to open your gas vent. Idk how it would look but it could help. Really enjoyed the video, hope to see more!
Nothing is ever a waste of time bud, it's always leads to a gain in knowledge,
By the way, I'm sure deep inside you are well aware of this,
Thank you for all the hard work you put in your videos, love them,

Well he had a ball flying towards him. This one is trying to hit it from a stationary position.
In the slomo, the blanks were relesing gases even after the ball bumper was all the out. So to keep the stopers from breaking off all the time i had two ideas, one is adding a vent hole thay is only exposed when the pistons reach max length, or two would be ading an acumulator piston to act as an absorber for the gases.
