  • We made the world's heaviest baseball then destroyed a bat with it. Also, we made another video obliterating objects with this same sphere, you can watch it here: • Tungsten Sphere Destro...
    In this video we also tested our solid aluminum bat vs the tungsten baseball to see what would happen. It was rather destructive.

    Are there any more iterations of this concept or particular experiments you'd like to see us try next? Or do you think we should end the series with this video? We made carbon fiber bats in the past, but we were never completely happy with the finished results, maybe we should revisit that? Would love to hear some of your thoughts. Also, if you missed our previous video where we absolutely obliterated many objects with this same sphere, you can watch it here: czcams.com/video/ne-outEGdhM/video.html

      Absolutely!
      Polymer resin shell reenforce threaded or wire dipped layer and a core.
      Meant to be reactive but absorb the blow. That tungsten may be too hard for many materials…
      Problem with teaing off is the same as a pitched ball though.
      If it’s not half of or equal to the mass at the point of impact… your basically hitting a tungsten brick wall… if a traditional golf club doesn’t shatter on impact… it’s will rip your arm off… seriously hurt your hand and do nerve damage as well…
      Titanium alloy clubs with adjustable weights you can put a tungsten insert in there. Some have a composite head with a modular face plate.
      On top of the 200mph+ contact speed you could fashion a powered bat design too.
      Straight up smacking a raw tungsten ball would not be a great idea… the forces required would more likely shatter everything involved… and at horrendous velocity.

    For those wondering, there are 6 elements denser than tungsten.
    Plutonium which is made in nuclear reactors
    Neptunium which decays away very fast, half of its gone in 2 days
    Rhenium which is 5 times rarer than gold
    Platinum which is about as rare as gold
    Iridium is 5 times rarer than gold
    And osmium which is also 5 times rarer than gold
    So yeah I don't think anyone's beating this

      The longer the half life, the less dangerous it is, but the longer it sticks around.
      You could probably wear a depleted uranium wrist band for your entire life, and feel no ill effects from the radiation.
      However, it's extremely toxic and is pyrophoric, meaning it can burn when enough it's just exposed to air.
      But it's unlikely radiation would be a problem. It is radioactive, with a 1/2 life of 4.468 million years.

    Funfact, if you wanted to put the same amount of weight in a metal sphere that was just 15% smaller, it would require the heaviest metal in the world, Osmium. If we were to recreate this smaller sphere at 9.75 lbs for the sake of comparison of this ball, at a going rate of $908,907/lbs, it would cost $8,861,849 to achieve. I would ballpark it at $10M to make 'the heaviest baseball' and it would weigh roughly 11.25 lbs.

    What's wild is that regular baseball made out of whatever material MLB decides to use that particular season (they aren't standardized, somehow) can ALSO split bats clean down the middle like that when a professional pitcher throws to a professional hitter. So if you're ever wondering about the power these guys have: they can get similar results to hitting a 9.7 lb ball, by hitting a ~5.2 oz (1/155th the weight) ball made out of a softer material

      I work in a factory and we saw many metal prices jump significantly during covid. But it's like gold; prices go up and down all the time.
      It also makes a difference the form the metal is in, and how much. Like i bet twice the amount of tungsten is more than double the price.
      We see it when comparing cast stainless to forged stainless. We can make a particular item from either type, but cast is cheaper and lower quality. Also, when we compare both types but in different sizes, cast pieces increase in a much more gradual way (to a point), whereas making a piece from a larger bar starts jumping drastically in price as larger bars are required.
