Summary: We made a rocket powered golf club that can swing at 150mph. Instead of just showing the final build I wanted to walk through the engineering design process. We failed in 6 different ways before eventually getting it just right. My friend Destin came and helped out and shot some amazing high speed shots on his nice Phantom camera.

Mark, Thank you and your team for making science cool and fun. I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense but do individual and small group tutoring for science and math subjects from grade school through undergrad (in my retirement). I spent my life working in intensive care and emergency medicine teaching doctors and nurses but doing something besides medicine is really fun! I love using your projects to teach concepts and also to encourage females to go into math and science professions.

Kevin Peterson Hehehehehe
You over did it a little bro
Amazing video. I thoroughly enjoyed it....I do wish you could have recorded more statistics on ball speed, trajectory, distance etc. Would have really took the video to the next level
With the high speed footage you should be able to determine the exit speed and angle? With some assumptions on the aerodynamic drag on the golf ball one should be able to make an estimate on the distance travelled? Would be cool to get your numbers.
@@brydenmiller7484 the shutter speed is hight
unfortunately, it's not that simple. The usual parabolic trajectory model (drag adjusted) doesn't apply in this case. Minute 11:10 shows a path where the takeoff angle seems to increase as the golf ball travels further away. This is due to the "magnus effect" where a spinning object will decrease the air drag by allowing the air to quickly travel along the surface of the ball and in the direction of the spin. This effect can generate a Lift force (in this case it was upwards), which gave the ball that weird trajectory. Additionally, a golf ball (unlike other smooth round objects) has a variable drag coefficient that's determined by the rate of revolutions; that's a part of it's dimpled design. So in order to create a trajectory model, you'd need to determine the initial take-off angle, the initial kinetic force, a graph of revolutions along it's path, a model that relates revolutions vs drag coefficient for a golf ball, a model for revolutions vs lift coefficient, and an air density vs height graph. You get all those models into a single multi-variable formula and then proceed to generate an estimated trajectory path.
This is so convoluting, that I'd rather use a gps golf ball.

that's the most important part. whats the point of a rocket club if you dont know how much range you get.
They dont know where the ball flies
Seriously though I thought the same thing literally the reason I watched this is to see how far the ball went...
Should have used Trackman
From SmarterEveryday, the point was to find the plastic point of a golf ball. The experiment wasn't concerned about how far the rocket driver can send a golf ball.

The golf ball would probably evaporate when re entering the atmosphere. Seriously, most meteorites just evaporate in the atmosphere before even getting a chance to hit earth. But the golf ball probably would've never reached space. It probably just landed on a random place in the middle of nowhere.

Suprised you didn't put a GPS tracker on the ball.
It would break
Maybe inside of the ball 😂
I was really hoping he would've, I'm so curious as to how far that thing went.
And, it might not necessarily break if it was on the opposite side of impact. But Idk.
I have the same idea but then if the golf club hits it it could shatter the GPS tracker

@@knowone8683 yep
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
The fact is that a human with much less power than this device (+ its accumulated momentum) has a club speed in the same order of magnitude.
The speed of the club when played by a human is caused by the torsion of the shaft that acts like a spring, releasing energy at the impact. Here the stiffening of the shaft makes that impossible.
Searching for the optimal control to input in order to maximize the speed of the club at the moment of the impact would be more interesting imo

According to world population studies, approximately 108 billion people have lived on this planet. Assuming that the average lifespan of all these people was 25, there has been around 2.7 trillion years of life, if we multiply this by the number of days in a year ( 365 ), there is a total of 985,500,000,000,000 days of life (985.5 trillion days ). Not once in any of those days did anybody ask.

I had the same thought. Maybe it would shatter on impact
@@imbackinthegame3611 good point.
They need to use Trackman. The pros and outside driving ranges and instructors will use trackman because it uses Doppler radar to track the physical ball in flight. Thats what they use for the world long drivers as well. It gets club head speed, launch angle, apex height, ball speed, and distance.
Couldn’t they calculate how far it goes. Just from the speed at which it was hit and the trajectory it flew to get how far it went. And GPS o would think they could somehow put it inside the ball with like a rubber seal around it so it doesn’t smash on impact but i’m not sure if that would work
Definitely over a mile that thing was going hella fast
