  • @STAG162
    @STAG162 Před 2 lety +257

    I propose that instead of smashing stuff (as gratuitously fun to watch as it is), can I suggest using the impact of the hammer to act as the catalyst to a mechanism... like what you have done before at the 45m tower to launch stuff into the air. at this place you have fewer constraints, a LOT of force and plenty of room for something to fly in the air. so (think: mousetrap); using the hammer to hit against a pivot or a fulcrum (thick steel plate?) resting on a heavy solid steel cylinder and something to flip into the air when the hammer drops. the sky is the limit - literally.

  • @tdyblacksmithkeithcoleman3365

    If you heat the copper to glowing and quench it.... it will soften enough to flatten. Copper work hardens (hit it, it gets harder), the opposite of ferrous metals. Love your channel! Oh yeah almost forgot, ball bearings are usually made from 52100 and hardened. WAY harder than average building material.

    I know that no one will likely read this, but to answer the question Gaunson asked at 8:50 about spheres and their strength, spheres have no where on them for stress to be concentrated. A cube, for example, has flat sides and sharp corners, which serve as ideal stress risers. A sphere has no flat sides nor sharp corners. Therefore, no stress risers.

    The fact that the ball bearing left an indent resulting in the rest of the drops having an appearance remniscient of that of a nipple is just perfect

  • @rogerscurlock2927
    @rogerscurlock2927 Před 2 lety +363

    The best thing you could hit would be a nail scaled up to match the hammers size increase. It would serve 2 purposes, first it would look awesome, secondly, you would then essentially have a steel support pile to set the plate on reducing force lost to soil compression,and the slight blind spot created when the plate sinks into the ground.

    I like the looks of the Copper Ball (with the divots from the steel bearing that was left in the hammer and the bottom plate)...
    I like watching Demolition Ranch and the things that Matt does on it and his other channel, but I think that you guys Won the Challenge (only because I don't think that Matt has a Tank in his personal arsenal)...
    Good luck guys, Say Safe and Healthy !!!

    • @scottballard327
      @scottballard327 Před 2 lety +3

      They put the dirt under to lower the G force of the hammer head deaccelerating thus protecting the hammer head from wearing out too quick and stopping the shockwaves that travel down the handle to the joints.

    A more sturdy base is in order, the objects transfer a ton of the energy when the base moves. Better base = more smashy!
