Adam, I see a lot of bullwhips that have developed sags at the handle/thong transition. Seems to me that, when cast, whips with transition sags lose energy at this point. Joe Strain mentions adding support to this area. I had an 8' roo bullwhip from a nationally known whipmaker that developed a sag and I cross-wound it with nylon cracker string for about 8 inches and it made a big improvement. I graduated the winds, too. What's your thinking on adding support to the transition?
I am used to stock whips, so a more flexible transition doesn’t bother me at all. I get a lot of emails from people that want to generally improve whips, but it always seems their experience with a variety of whips and a variety of tricks is limited. If there are one or two specific tricks that you do that require a stiff transition, that’s your preference and that’s great.
Adam your a wizard with the whip I own a South African sjambok it can be used as a martial arts tool too only other guy I know who's good is Anthony de longis taught Michelle pheffer in batman movie and Harrison Ford and Anthony Hopkins in zoro keep up great content greetings from uk 👍🇬🇧🐾🦊
John, whats your sjambok made from? I tried to find an original from rhino when I was there in 2013 but all I could find were plastic. Still very formidable, though.

Yeah, but what does all that have to do with anything? Just kidding. Ha! I asked ChatGPT to, "Create a good mathematical model for a whip crack." Here is the answer I got: Creating a mathematical model for a whip crack is a complex task due to the intricacies of whip dynamics and the nonlinear behavior involved. However, I can provide you with a simplified mathematical model that captures some of the key elements of a whip crack. Please note that this model is an approximation and does not capture all the nuances of the physical phenomenon. Let's consider a whip as a flexible rod with a mass attached to one end and a handle held by the whip cracker at the other end. The basic parameters we will use in the model are: L: Length of the whip m: Mass of the attached end T: Tension in the whip ρ: Linear density of the whip material c: Speed of sound in the whip material v: Velocity of the whip crack Based on these parameters, we can define the following equations: 1. Wave Speed Equation: The speed at which the crack travels along the whip can be approximated using the wave speed equation: v = c * sqrt(T / ρ) 2. Wave Propagation Equation: The whip crack can be represented as a wave propagating along the whip. We can use the wave equation to describe this motion: ∂²y/∂t² = (c² / L²) * ∂²y/∂x² Here, y represents the displacement of the whip at a given point (x) and time (t). 3. Energy Equation: The energy of the whip crack can be related to the tension in the whip and the velocity of the crack. The energy can be approximated using the following equation: E = 0.5 * m * v² These equations provide a basic framework to model the dynamics of a whip crack. However, please keep in mind that a more comprehensive model would require additional considerations, such as the effects of air resistance, the tapering shape of the whip, and the intricate interplay between tension, wave propagation, and the crack itself. End quote. I passed college mathematics with a high A but cannot make heads or tails out of any of that to know if it's good or not. I have been watching your videos for years and have even made a few different kinds of whips of my own, but I never knew you were such a lover of math. Now, ChatGPT is not all that reliable when it comes to math. Most often it helps to instruct it to use Excel for its calculations. I just thought you would find it interesting to see what an AI has to say about it. Thanks, Daniel
I graduated with a degree in math, but I can’t say I was in love with math. It kinda looks like ChatGPT did the same thing I did: find some related formulas to a whip crack. I’ll look it over some more, and also look up the formulas it cites. Thanks for this comment!
My favorite whip video. Nicely done, Adam. Big thanks, keep those videos coming.
I’m glad you like it 😊

CRACK CRACK!! Stg the sound never gets old

you know these videos cracks me up ngl
Breaking some sound barriers today? Yay!
The ex gf joke actually caught me off gaurd
Outstanding analysis, this is going to get many, many likes.
Awesome video
Glade for the info.
Outstanding!
Is there a way to use these physics for a punch to maximize power?
Hey Adam how you doing and I love the video🎥
Adam, can you send me a website where I can buy the best quality circus 6 ft black bullwhip?

Question......the longer the whip the more powerful the crack?
Not necessarily
@@Adam-Winrich Can you elaborate, please?
