Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid?
Also, thank you to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon. I really appreciate it. www.patreon.com/smartereveryday
SmarterEveryDay It’s New Year’s I’m staying up all night because I’m a crazy person but also it’s not really healthy so yeah well anyway happy New Year’s to you and everyone else that’s reading this comment.
Happy New Year! This video was one of the most exciting - especially for a baseball fan!
Also baseball is one of my favorite sports besides football
Why would you upload it two minutes before the ball drop?
13:11 that perfect knock! And Babe Ruth because of Sandlot, lol! 😄⚾️💖
Also, Happy New Year to you and the family, Destin! Thank you for helping to make me smarter everyday! 🥳🧠💖
Stands behind wood on day 1, stands behind steel on day 2.
Well that lives up to the name. SmarterEveryDay
Lmao 😂
Brilliant humor 😂

@@mewantsnax8885 that'd be pretty amazing considering it has bats instead of rotor blades.
@@mewantsnax8885 well it was jumping when the bat broke.
Great weapon for an apocalypse. Stand on top and let the zeds walk into it, babe Ruth can hit balls, you can hit skulls for the fences
@@redrolo149 Don't land it anywhere near a base ball field, you know what could happen.
When he slowly ducks down like ten seconds after the bat has passed him is one of the funniest moments in CZcams. 7:41
no it's not.
Since he didn't get injured thankfully..it is kind of funny in retrospect. It shows something coming that fast, there is chance in ducking!
@@thisoldnew4544 everyone is different.
@@jigokunohi6538 mmmhm
10:48 you know its fast when reality activates slow mo effect

even I was taking cover and i'm in my house.
13:10 what my teammate swears he would’ve done if he didn’t get under it
I'm always like "stop being so careful, man! Have some guts and go crazy" on his experiments.
But this one is the first time I was like "slow down man, you can really mess up this time!"
Awesome
13:10 I like to imagine the machine didn’t break it just celebrated and tossed its bat after seeing it just hit a homer
Then it realizes it has to touch all the bases and actually breaks down (crying).
FACTS
Owen McGinnis lol
B o n k
Owen McGinnis plz sup to me
You know it’s fast when it starts going backwards.
you know it’s at least 24 rpm depending on frame rate
Constantinople, 1054 nah nah nah 24 rps
Or when it breaks the sound barrier and sounds like a helicopter
@@marshallbraun4605 I was going to say, when it sounds like it's about to take off!
Definitely.
I'm not gonna lie... those bats spinning had me ducking at home watching on the PC! hahaha
11:09 "if you play center field, listen to how hard this thing is hit"
As someone who played center field, I actually jumped at that sound. That is absolutely terrifying.
dude turn the sound up! I think that hit at 11:09 was a one hopper from the infield dirt the outfield fence in a half second!! so psycho!!
This is legit one of the scariest things I’ve seen Destin do. I’m glad he upgraded the pitcher’s protection!
He really coulda just tossed the ball into the spin from right behind it
@Robert Hillen Be glad the bat didnt hit him.
Balls would 50/50 kill him, bats would explode him. That's basically a cannonball.
It sounded like a helicopter, also they need to put some concrete blocks in the housing of the motor to reduce the vibrations. It was shaky.
My heart rate rose as the bats kept spinning faster and faster in the intro. That didn't sound like that thin piece of wood could protect against failure.
Bats: * helicopter sounds *
USAF: _Somethings on Radar..._
*Fortunate Son comes on
*Small object traveling at 400mph coming from that field
That's not how radar works, but ok.
@@HayderAbdulridha Wow, bro. it was a joke....
@@LCOfficerUNIT097 ik, and I said, "ok".
In '61 or '62, Frank Howard was reputed to have hit a 602 ft home run in County Stadium, Milwaukee. Vin Scully recounted his call of the "Shot heard round the world" a few times...I was lucky enough to have heard it...a mesmerizing story. The homer was later revised down to around 560'. Howard never swung hard at a pitch, but this knuckleball so badly fooled him, he literally swung with his left arm only, having let go of the bat with his right arm. Bless the memory of Frank Howard, my boyhood Dodgers hero.
Dustin and Jeremy are the exact definition of mad scientists
10:16 when you haven't seen your friend called homer in a while and you finally see him.
😂
haha loooooooooool
🤣🤣
Was this destins audition as the OA?
Best comment of the year!
"Go seventy-five percent!"
"Seventy-five?"
"Nah, just do it, man! Go all the way!"
That is the correct response.
Followed by, "Did we break it?"
Full send always
Could also double as famous last words.
IT'S OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!!
FULL SEND
9:55 Thank you for providing slow motion footage that actually lets you watch frame by frame at 1080p60. Most slow motion on youtube can only be played at 30 fps or less.
This had it all... engineering, high speed video, sports, and the potential for serious injury or death..perfect...
“Ahh What a beautiful day”
*Gets hit by a random helicopter bat*
😂
Haha🤣
Jesus, I’ve been laughing for the past 5 minutes 🤣🤣🤣
As I realize the true meaning of this post, I verbalize a sound inside my internal body that sounds like the word, Ha.
Decapitation or obliteration?
I was there and I still couldn't wait to watch the results and hear that amazing sound again. This was just so awesome!
Great job, man. Loved this... Experiment!
Great work Jeremy and who helped
Dude, you all are crazy! That was amazing! Well done!
What a start for 2020
Glad you guys were protected. There's no way plywood would protect anyone from that.
I wasnt there, and i was terrified and flinching a bit whenever the machine spun up
The Aussies on “How Ridiculous” hit a base ball with a “Bat-Copter” 826ft!
I'm way to late commenting on this video but just going through some older video's I haven't watched. Great content and your excitement for what you do is great. Also, Skunk Works is an AMAZING book, highly recommend for anyone.

With the engineering and power behind this rig to go about 700 ft, it really validates how incredibly skillful pro baseball players that go yard at much lower velocities are
Hey Destin! You should do a video on rotary subwoofers. The science behind them is cool and the effects of it in an enclosed room is crazy
"I'm Destin, and we're getting deadlier every day"
Lol
I'd subscribe to that channel. I would also subscribe to "Better Fitness and Nutrition Everyday".

@@HolahkuTaigiTWFormosanDiplomat ;
Jeremy is awesome! I've watched his channel for quite some time and he's taught me a lot.
You know it’s hit hard when it starts to look like a missile launch rather than a projectile curve
*sceance*
THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO!!! I loved the video and played baseball as a kid in the 70's. I also served 28 years in the US Air Force and had SAP access to the SR-71 program in the 80's before it was decommissioned in the early 90's.
Literally felt uneasy the entire time that thing was spinning lol
Understatement of the year:
Well that was dangerous!
And that’s saying something when the year’s just begun.

Some Redditor upload this for me cos I don’t have reddit
Jake Brazendale No thanks
Hi, I appreciate the bats are not shaped anything like a helicopter blade but the visual and audio of the bats spinning… in my gut I expected the machine to lift off 😁🤓.
As soon as the ball ramped up midair, I started wheeze laughing. The sound of the bat is incredible. The terrifying motion of the machine. I love the outrageous, yet immensely entertaining videos.
You know it’s fast when it’s starts sounding like a helicopter.
well yes since the bats are hitting/touching the air molecules therefore making those sounds (Im not so sure, thats my depiction)
Then it starts to fly off
Lol
and then it looks like its spinning the other way
You mean when it sounds like a ps4
“ READY “
* Baseball bat death machine noises intensify *
That thing is terrifying
Should just be titled "The furthest hit baseball ever recorded." A home run requires an actual batter by definition.
This had me howling in laughter at the memories of high school when we did something similar for a project.
Thank you so much for sharing this! xD

This goes further than tas, this is more like raising numbers in top speed files.

The bat flip immediately after the home run 😂😂

Well...he was smarter after the first incident
korpilombolo1 honestly
Appoxo Although the took the risk once and it could of proven fatal. Please don’t play around with your life Destin.
That was the first thing I thought when I heard 250 mph bat speed, and saw that guard they made. I have seen those long drive guys put 200 mph golf balls through that with ease. A baseball at over 250 mph would would go through that like buck shot through drywall. I would only get behind thick lexan or sand bags. Not even sure about concrete blocks.
Me: Well, that’s a cool rig.
*Rig starts making Helicopter noises*
Me: 😳
Was so hoping the unit would lift off the ground.
@@chrish5224 unfortunately that is not how aerodynamics works :(
@@sorrenzz3610 Trust me, a bit of photoshop and after effects can fix that.
@@TheWildChildJr yep
@@TheWildChildJr Dang I totally forgot that photoshop and affects can actually fool some people.
Jeez! First time I've ever seen a baseball rise like a golfball! haha
I watch this video every so often and with a big dumb grin on my face every time. Thank you for that. Also this makes me want to see even more videos making baseballs go crazy distances whether hit my the mad batter machine, the air cannon, or a stuffmadehere creation. Thank you so much Destin and team for all of your videos these past years.
This video and the rocket golf club should be on a channel called “Hold My Beer Engineering”
'Hold my Beerginerring'
Yes!! Someone should make that happen!

you can add that "rocketpowerd circlesaw tied to a zipline" to that statement :P

that ball exposed the matrix
That is probably the old map, the new one got a new patch for higher skybox

Cue the Terminator soundtrack.
Oof. Shoulda said lifting off.
13:11 Wish they added the Team Rocket ding as it flew off in to the distance.
13:09 Beautiful bat flip after homerun
13:10 The machine had to add the batflip to that homerun lol

Nice lol
HAHAHA LOL

Glad he upgraded safety precautions.
Funny comment, Darth! lol
@@Photosynthesisbeing ... "could of"?!
You know it’s fast when the bat starts bending
Its like a helicopter getting ready for lift off.
This is the most wholesome thing ever, watching two dads on a play date
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the bat machine started flying up like a chopper

Get to the chopper
I'm not even that big of a baseball fan, but that was absolutely fantastic.
11:54 love how the bat gets dented and bent when it hits the ball.
5:30 the moment the birds heard 100% and "all the way", they knew to hightail it out of there.
It’s terrifying to hear your name called, he sounds like a teacher.
Ya it is

My name is Jeremy and I kinda freaked out for a second when he said my name.
Yeah the way he looked into the camera I thought my name would have been called, I don’t even have audible.
Yup
Gotta love how after the catastrophe the bats look to be spinning slowly and when the ball hits it just kind of freezes 😂
That tiny wood barrier isn’t gonna save you at those speeds 😭😭😭
Was anyone else disappointed that there wasn’t a slow mo for the record? 😭
you can slow mo videos manually
Yea, wtf
@@TheZombieeeeeee Playing back a video at half speed is not the same as slow mo footage, especially in this situation.
@@TheDeafCreeper ya, slow mo isn't playing a 60fps video at 10 fps, it's 1,000-1,000,000 fps recorded played back at 60fps
Thanks for ruining the disappointment for me
I love how this channel has evolved into Destin living out childhood dreams using adult engineering knowledge and the Alabama boy "just go for it" attitude. As a fellow Alabama boy this channel really makes me happy.

Man, 700 steps sure is tiring
No Cows were harmed in the filming of this video. The velocity of the baseballs and the kinetic forces that were created killed the animals instantly. Especially those experiencing headshots that vaporized everything from the neck up upon impact.
It was great to find your channel.
To see Jeremy was the gravy. Keep having fun. My grandfather always said, learn something new everyday. Thanks for your help

@@franzusgutlus54 *Deadlier Every Day
well. it's good but it's not SMART 😅
The fact that you needed a machine that was basically a helicopter to hit a home run further than Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle is a testament to those two men. And the third one, the AAA home run, props to your amazing 582 too.
Amazing considering how low tech the game was back then . Just pure sportsmanship.
exactly
The power the possed.
Both were no question way ahead of their counterparts but no chance either could hit further than say Barry Bonds or even a random modern slugger like Bryce Harper. Sports have always exaggerated their numbers for hype.

Most accurate statement ever.
"Laughs in MAD INVENTOR" XD XD
To think the guy who hit the longest recorded home run just works hospital security in Maui now.
I loved the slow motion of the bat distort the shape the ball while being hit.
10:46 you can see the bat's after images "lag" from the reduction of speed caused by the ball
Stereoscopic effect in action :D
Rolling shutter effect
Thats crazy
During a split second the bats almost matched the camera shutter speed

sounded like a helicopter with non-aerodynamic blades that wasn't supposed to take off but nonetheless almost taking off
