how do u reply 2 days before the vid is realesed.
ps: i cant spell
hello i love your guys content and I now know when and how you got your hand broken
Base ball pitch
You an only say „we build a gun shooting base balls!“
@@boblabob9008 they are channel members they get it earlier than us
To be fair, as awful as it is that it happened. The fact that anyone rarely gets injured at Hacksmith industries is a testament in of itself :)
Somehow Jame‘s job doesn‘t seem to like his hand
@@roran0432 Well tbh (and this comes from a guy who fabricates steel items) when working with your hands in a craft as often as James does, and with all of the human error that can go wrong. His hand is still very lucky :)
I have beaten my body and hands up so much in my trade, its still amazing to me how little injuries they seem to sustain.
And on top of that it wasn't even during the fabrication, this injury was just one of those freak accidents.
And, to be fair, it wasn't even AT Hacksmith industries.
They have so many weapons and a baseball breaks James's hand? Not a thor hammer, not a burnig chain/helmet, not even the worlds first lightsaber.
A baseball
A frickin baseball
It's insane that after all these crazy projects the thing that injures James is a human thrown baseball. I hope you enjoy your much deserved vacation.
Ironic
its almost as bad a losing an eye to a space cat (wink wink)
How did you comment that 2 days ago if this video was made 38 minutes ago?
@@Dwoods451 Membership early view
@@destroyer1675 i was wondering the same, thanks
“As long as I don’t cross this line, I should be fine, right?” Famous last words.
Unfortunately for James, he didn't stay behind the line. HIs swinging mechanics was putting his hands right in the strike zone. I feel bad for him because that must have hurt like hell! :(
There must've been rotator cuff injuries after making this video. LOL. Tyler is one hell of a pitcher! If you get hit by that ball, expect broken ribs. Great video guys.
Awww geez man
"Shouldn't have said that, I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT" electronicsNmore probably
I don't feel like playing sports for a long time now
Now think deeper and replace the Baseballs with Live Grenades
@@TheDullNull lol I don’t think it’s very common to find a 90 mph pitcher but I still don’t plan on playing baseball
James: let’s test this Real Life Protosaber without anything to protect myself and not get injured
Also James : gets injured by a baseball
Me: Are lightsabers safer than baseballs?
Well yes but actually no
@Johan Matthew well if you made it hot enough to melt steel definitely not
Yes because they have the only existing lightsaber...
Statistically, there have been more injurys by baseballs then real light sabers so...yes
Yes’nt
I would like to see this versus Stuff Made Here's explosive bat.
Thats a good Idea. But they are both realy cute compared to smarter every day's Supersonic Baseball-Canon...
Smarter every day made a batting machine that broke the distance record for furthest hit baseball. This could be a great crossover.
@@0-______0- @Johannes Böhm Yeah absolutely, i just forgot that. It'd be even better actually.
@@0-______0- didnt that break in the end?
@Smarter Every Day, @Stuff Made Here, @Hacksmith Industries engineers baseball league. May the winner be the one with the craziest build!
Hacksmith: has handle some of the most dangerous equipment ever made and is fine
Baseball: I'm bouta end this mans whole career
Ian's discussion feels so much more genuine and passionate than the acting in other recent videos. It brings me back to what the Hacksmith channel used to be like years ago. Awesome video!
Ian is a perfect best friend. "Wow, you really got hurt and we got it in 4K! Wanna see it?"
"As long as i don't cross this line I'll be fine right"
famous last words
soo unexpected hitlol
Exactly what got me:-D the only one cautious was the only one hurt.

@Notorion so was the lightbulb
Literally
@Pheonixlgnd maybe 3 or four sets of wheels in a row?
Yep. Tesla got ripped off.
*double
I was watching this and I thought "isn't James' hand broken?" And not ten seconds later is the very moment he broke it
I was like expecting to see "thank god James recovered " in the comments and then things happened
not going to lie, not exactly how i thought james broke his hand lol
Sus
I thought he would’ve been swinging at the machines ball
"As long as outside this line, it wont hurt me right?"
"Hopefully"
Luck had enough of James, so it struck back in the form of a 91mph fastball
Eeeee
Hacksmith: I made a baseball cannon.
Smarter Every Day: That’s adorable.
But this one can rapid fire, so it's balanced, right?
@@superslimanoniem4712 yep
@David Lazarus They still have to put those two against each other to see what happens.
I thought the exact same thing!!!
@@kleinisfijn how do we combine all of these? Massive Rapid fire baseball cannon with gun bats attached to the mad-batter.
Forget baseball, that thing's a high-class weapon.
Keep that thing off my fields
(I'm an umpire)
Same the bowling ball return machine.
Definitely something you would find in Fallout
@@bradycharles9571
I am surprised you said that. I almost forget that name game.
Your talking about the pitcher that broke james hand right
Lovely bit of engineering, good job Ian! Pity you didn't quite reach your goal, but to be fair, accelerating a baseball to 140mph by friction over a contact distance of only ~5-10cm is a pretty crazy ask. Maybe a sequence of flywheels for v2? Or just take the easy way out and go pneumatic... or even solid propellant ;)
Or rubber wheels ....
baseball players: look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power
James swung like the kid who doesn't want to be there
As 'the kid who doesn't want to be there', that was exactly what I was thinking.
Please make yondu's arrow , guys please make this visible to them
@@___Helloworld___ keep dreaming, we haven't reached that era yet
to be fair i wouldnt want to bat that ball either, its a missile
@@___Helloworld___ search it some one did it already not exactly the movie one but it worked
The nerf modding community has been dealing with similar problems for YEARS, I'm sure there's already a solution to get those balls launching harder, Concave wheels are just ONE, also using softer balls would probably help too, but you might have to consider having 2 stages of flywheels, the first stages gets the ball going, then the second stage really kicks the speed up a notch.
I used to make modded and DIY nerf blasters years ago for fun. Without using less safe, denser, custom darts, it's difficult to get more speed and range. I'd hit a wall where darts just got shredded leaving the muzzle, or were too slow that wind blew them way off course.
A solenoid to knock the ball into the wheels would probably help as well
Please make yondu's arrow , guys please make this visible to them
s**t, you beat me to it.
@@Discitus things have come a long way in the last couple of years, flywheels have reached new heights. While denser foam may be used, the harder tips have fallen out of favor quite a bit
I’ve actually built something like this in the past. One of the rotating wheels has to be sprung loaded agains the ball - so the passage of the ball pushes past the rollers. The spinning of the wheels is enough to feed the ball through. I hope that makes sense? I actually used gravity acting on a swing arm that held the motor and the wheel but a spring could be used instead.
Good sport on James for not blaming the Pitcher.
Seeing that finger break sent shivers down my spine
@BBC OUTLET Don't care
@@phavianp2850 just Report...

I wise man once said "if you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable"
lol that's what I was thinking as he went through dozens of frames for those wheels
a very wise man indeed.
Did he invent the wrench??
I would love to see this combined with Stuff Made Here’s explosive baseball bat
Yes
Omg
Imagine the distance
The Hacksmith: We build a baseballgun
SmarterEveryDay: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
So this is how he broke his hand
Yep and it’s kind of crazy that only a human with a 95 mph throwing speed broke Jame’s hand
@@MBJ829 only
I was thinking the same thing
Yeah I guess so
I wondered how
I have come to the conclusion that no one from hacksmith has ever played baseball.
Only USA and Japan play it so that would be a fair assessment
@@acidflare8345 how is that
@@acidflare8345 We play baseball in Canada. Hence the training facility in Kitchener
There's playing baseball, and there's playing baseball professionally, or at least on a collegiate level.
@@acidflare8345 and Canada, and Mexico, and most of the Caribbean, and most of Central America, and Venezuela, and Korea, and Australia, and Taiwan...
James broke his hand taking a 90 mph baseball to the hand. Kinda impressed tbh
James: Gets burnt, ran over, jet engined, plasma sabered, etc.
Also james: broken finger due baseball ball.
...are you trying to emulate Rasputin?
NBL Pitchers : “Look at what they do to mimic a fraction of our power!”

Nice invincible reference, I see you👌
@@OJC72 ???
Dad: "Don't be scared of the ball, sonny, keep your head up"
The ball: 3:59
Same my dad said not to be scared
it was an awful swing he threw his hands at the ball
@@evekins7259 yeah but still yk I'd probably end up doing something like that
@@thatcherridings8388 first time i have caught a comment within a minute of posting, but yeah
@@sirmammengaming7405 I got really lucky haha
4:48 Not only a title, a whole extra video xD
That throw went exactly how I thought it would. 0 athletic bones in his body lol
I love how it looks like none of them have ever thrown a ball
In addition to that, James really doesn't look like he knows the batter "ready" position.
@@mountiangoat888 Doesn't know? That's an understatement. His back foot was so badly placed that the moment he stepped up to the plate I figured he'd somehow get hurt. How are you supposed to step into a swing if your initial stance is already that angled and far apart?
I thought that was kinda funny, haha
All of them except maybe on guy had terrible baseball mechanics.
Having his hand so close to the output of the device freaks me out.
fr
I was thinking that. For something so over-engineered, you'd think he'd've designed the front grip better.
Especially once he starts adding spin. Idk maybe it's just camera angles but it's so close
Ian: It's very heavy.
Me: Yeah, like the rest of your projects. That's an approval.
I'd love to see you revisit this and get the ball to 140, maybe some type of sabot. That might solve the irregular shape and surface deformation problem. You'd need some type of system to stop the sabot flying down range.
So its been a while since I spent a summer working in the Sportsworld batting cages, but if I remember correctly the wheels on the pitching machines were air filled. Just a thought really, you guys probably already considered this.
"I'm an engineer....imma enable cheat mode" I love it
Haha

I feel bad for him still laughing 😂😂😂

Make something so powerful that you're afraid to turn it up all the way
I’d like to personally give an award to the people who commented “first” to commemorate their stupendous achievement
Dude, ur Loki and Bad Batch Breakdowns are really well done, keep it up 👍🏻
First
You just jealous
What an achievement...
In actuality, they aren't even first at all
I’ve worked in my own shop self-employed for years solving all kinds of weird problems like this… And I love my job and wouldn’t want to do anything else. But you guys have it made because you get to spend time with lifelong friends and share the experience! You’re truly living the dream!
Baseball in future be like: holding baseball cannons and running everywhere with it.
This felt like an episode of Mythbusters, the production was so good. If the wheels are spring loaded would that help reduce the grinding of the skin ?
I wonder?
why is it James always gets injured when ever he leaves the workshop for a project?
Plot armor
Soooo, do we just ignore that this was supposed to be an "IMPOSSIBLE To Hit Baseball Pitch!" They did the math for the target speed they needed to hit, then made something that does half the speed and called it a day? Got that gamepass monies tho!
Man chill
Why dont you build it yourself then?
for indexing the balls out of the hopper one at a time you could probably make a simpler setup that uses the same mechanism as pinball machines - Wintergatan did a video not too long ago on his newer marble feed gates that used the same design. They look like super-wide-mouthed pacmans.
Also you might have less of an issue with the balls getting shredded if you gradually accelerated them. A baseball normally gets accelerated from zero to a hundred over the whole arc of a thrower's arm motion - you might want to maybe have several wheel sizes, geared together so they spin at the same rotational speed but increasing surface travel speeds. One set would pitch to the next set basically. If you can get ~70mph increase per set of wheels without it stripping the covers off, that's only 3 sets of wheels to get over 200mph.
Glad to see you're doing ok James! Thank goodness Canada's healthcare is free. Here in the states a break like that would cost thousands!
Canada's healthcare is free?? Woah. That's a reason to move there
I mean it hurts like bich don't it. Hmmmm i wonder how steroids can affect the speed of the throw. Well I have a theory of how steroids can affect your body but that too long for me to explain. Plz test my theory.
@@tjtague7460 Depends where you go and how busy it is, wait times are only 3-4 hours for broken bones over here. Better to wait a few hours more than pay thousands of dollars.
Love how when firing the Canon, Ian laughs like Drax during battle!
Your are the closest thing to mythbusters thank you for make me relive those crazy experiment. Damn I miss that show. But your doing a incredible jobs keep it up
James: "As long as I don't cross this line I will be fine, right?"
Everyone in comments: Foreshadowing
the handle being in front of the barrel made it one of the most stressful things to watch every time it fired
I absolutely loved the no-frills style of video! Ian knows his stuff and explains it simply. Very interesting to watch!
Also, the pain in his eyes after disassembling/reassembling 15+ times is so relatable. You just want the stupid thing to work at that point
I may be a bit late, however, there is a wheel in competitive robotics called a compliant wheel, which is a wheel that can comply to the shape of the object it is rolling on. Using a medium to lower durometer compliant wheel would help with the traction problem you are having without the need to rebuild the entire setup.
I appreciate that you show the iteration process and looks amazing. Get well Hacksmith
LoL be like:
"Not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying" (6:16)
That is from a recent movie right?

& 6:17
Every school needs such a sign on their front door.
@@gentlesnot1864 Idk about a movie but it's a meme from a while ago. There was a picture of an electrical box with that warning with something like "Only trained and authorized personnel should open and operate this machinery"
James not afraid of all the dangerous machines but is afraid of a baseball makes sense
He did broke his wrist because of it so that did not happen with tha machines
@@kazboven9744 technically machines almost made him lose his eyes *twice* and has dislocated/broke his arm.
@@infinitytimer6245 but not his wist
Very cool! So many things one could try out to improve the design. I think the slipping is caused by the ball dropping too slowly onto the wheels and then the fast spinning wheels only have a millisecond or so to accelerate the ball. So you could try out to have the balls drop faster onto the wheels already (airpressure?) or increase the time it takes to accelerate the ball. So perhaps 3 sets of wheels each with increasing speed would accelerate the ball more gently and also be able to put more energy in it.
This should be the origin of Hacksmith himself -
Guy gets injured playing sports then becomes an engineer so he can be a Super Hero
You do realize they have these at places called “batting cages”
its a portable version.
@@SoulDFroggit
There are versions that are portable and don’t need to be worn on your shoulder, they also don’t destroy the baseball lol
These videos really feel like you're over the shoulder of the team as you guys build!

@Ian this looks really cool. I'm digging the engineer vibe from this vid. Hope James feels better soon.
Aroldis Chapman is laughing at this
That x ray transition is hilarious. So THATS how you broke your hand
James has a very, uhhh, unique stance
Unique…. Yeah… That’s one way to put it. The ballerina twirl after the swing is what got me rolling.
19:10 Let's see....batter in video uses a motorcycle helmet for protection against 77 MPH maximum-speed pitch from machine. Human pitchers can throw 100 MPH and the batters have a lot less protection. Respect to those MLB guys!
I love James enjoying the process by spawning random time like an NPC.
This looks so cool
3:57 this just brought back bad memories since i used to play baseball a few years back and had a batter accidentally hit the ball i was pitching right into my face bursting my lip and giving me a nasty scar that left the right side of my bottom lip looking eternally busted
That "Fffp" the balls make when going out is so satisfying
I have been watching the channel for a long time, LOVE THE PROJECTS
Ooooh, so this is the video that broke James' hand and exposed hacksmiths time travel, I hope you feel better soon James so we can all see what amazing and crazy creations you've got for us next 👍
Everyone get shirts or signed balls to pay for Jame’s medical bills
They live in Canada, free healthcare

i was looking for this comment
Am I the only one concerned that he just afk'd his MLB 2021 match to announce the sponsor?
Awesome process!
I'd also love to dumpster dive at an engineering shop like this 😂
The model of the cannon really reminds me the model for the RYNO V from Ratchet and Clank. It would be super cool to take some iconic weapons from that game and to make it real! Love the content your doing!
the moment that you've realized that Ian had more badass thoughts than what James did
Out of all the ways to get injured from all the projects done, it happened relatively normally from playing baseball😂
So true 😂
Lol! The look of horror on James face was priceless.
Hey Ian, what about swapping out the wheels with some sort of tripple belt driven system? Could reduce rotational weight and also allow more prolonged contact with the ball to actually get it to speed and reduce slippage.
Wonder if he looked up the kind of wheels that they use for automatic pitching machines?
"If all else fails, I can just strike out the batter with rapid-fire." Hmm. Let's not make multiple trips to St. Mary's, please.
