Okay
Ok father
Crazy
no. no, I don't think I will.
Hello mate!
I love that someone at clash of clans thought, "this insane maniac would probably make our lethal trap if we pay him to do it"
Always remember that while *most* of the workforces of big evil corporations are soulless robots that do not understand how the rest of humanity works, there are some people working there who are actual real humans and who enjoy the same things we do (such as watching an australian man without shoes build the most dangerous thing he's ever built yet again).
They probably wouldn't have to pay him tbh. Just suggest it😅
my thoughts through the entire video😂 the liability😬
Prolly someone in a suit, which make it 100x better
Supercell
After making "not a gun", he now managed to make "not a landmine"...
Put it on the doorstep, coppers do you really want to make this an issue? Leave it be, save your legs.
💀
Hope he makes "not a bomb" or "not meth" next
@@kayagorzanadhd meds are closest to "not meth" probably. Nilered collab?
😂
It's like a bow, if you fire it without an arrow, all the energy goes into vibrating the bow itself and it can damage itself. So you gotta put something heavy enough on your trap such that it soaks up all the energy from the spring and your trap doesn't destroy itself
In Addition to this, and to continue with the Bow analogy it’s like letting go of the bow and the arrow at the same time, so the string and the rigid part meet in the middle.
The bottom part of this spring trap is getting pushed down with the same force as the top, but because it’s not bolted down it’s transferring energy into bouncing the entire mechanism and not just the top part.
@@cmk9089I'm not an engineer or qualified enough to talk about it, but I joined an archery club and I think that analogue described it well. I also agree with your idea of bolting it down in the middle. In addition, I'd also think there should be enough space for the device to allow the excess kinetic energy from second (bellow) and first (upper) spring when meet in the middle to allow it swing freely, therefore avoiding more damage to the device in the middle.
I did a thing is generally a hack.
He is not that skilled with either building or understanding physics.
@@lennartweber1502he’s never claimed to be either though lol. he says in pretty much every video he has know idea what he’s doing and is just winging shit with mostly bad math or having his friend do the math for him.
no one here is watching him because he’s an expert engineer and craftsman. He’s a dude building stupid shit because it’s funny, so not sure what your point is or if you’ve even watched him much. A hack is someone that acts as if they’re far more skilled than they actually are in reality.
@@lennartweber1502A hack!? Do you have him mixed up with a specific physics professor or
putting springs in series essentially halves the potential energy stored in them per meter that you compress the resulting spring by compared to a single spring alone. Although this does match the depiction of the trap in clash of clans, putting them in parallel instead would double the potential energy stored in the resulting system per meter compressed and might be more stable, plus you could use two winches instead
Yeah i was thinking of that but really wanted it to have comical long spring
Yeah but in series you can just compress it twice as far instead, and you have more chance to launch stuff further since the acceleration distance is longer and the forces not as high. If you put them in parallel and compressed half the distance you'd just destroy things even more than this version did due to the doubled force.
@@ninjafruitchilledthe impulse is longer meaning it’s accelerating slower tho, which is less fun
@@theviolater9231 lol maybe? It depends if you actually want to throw something I guess, vs just smash it to pieces.
@@ninjafruitchilled smash all the way pal
Technically, you’ve got the CoC lore on point. After the spring trap is used, you have to pay the builder to go wack it with a mallet to repair it.
It's good to see there are still people who remember traps used to cost you Gold to reset.

I don't know what's more terrifying, the trap or the thought of leeches in a grassy field.
bring in the trap fuck off with the leeches
I know, the answer is leeches crawling up your leg in a grassy field
Where I live they stay in the mucky water, can't imagine them being just IN THE GRASS
Worse thought, The trap springing leeches into the air and onto everyone in the vicinity.
Leeches honestly arent that bad. More just inconvinent. Ticks are the worst
In the old days of COC, the spring trap did have to be repaired every time it went off so the constant struggle to repair it after every firing is actually accurate
0:01 (Springtrap bashes through the door) "I ALWAYS COME BACK!"
Yes
As an automotive coil spring engineer this is both terrifying and amazing
With your experience, can you explain why it ended up being so slow? I would have though that with as much energy as those springs stored, the release would have been way more energetic and launched things way higher.
@@AgentWest it’s hard to tell since he isn’t using the most structurally sound setup lol. But I will say that I have seen much smaller coil springs unwind from compressors and go through thin garage doors, so there is plenty of potential energy stored in those springs. Especially considering they look like some off road suv/truck spring.
@@colerichards7368I think if he’d constructed a solid metal cage and then bolted the whole structure into concrete he would’ve gotten more elevation

Thanks for providing the terrifying information that leeches can live in a grassy field, not just in swamp waters.
Honestly, I'd never experienced this but maybe it's because I'm in Canada? At least, the grassy areas surrounding the swampy areas I frequented never subjected me to leeches anyways.
@@johntheredeemeryeah you're only a little ways away from Australia

@@rivetRnC While true, they are highly locational. Stories tells them living in a muddy shores with lots of weeds to offer cover but the lake i live next to doesn't have any leeches. i've waded and walked in a knee-high mud more hours then i could even guess without a single leech. Come to think of it, i haven't had one leech stuck on me ever and i've spent my fair share on lakes and swimming. Am i just that lucky...?

@@OFFICERJIMMYUTTP good for you buddy
Australia is truly the worst place on earth. You can't even walk on grass there.
I knew about them in South America. I didn’t know about them in Australia. Though, considering it’s Australia, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
You almost had it in full operation. The issue within this design is that you are not applying your force in one direction alone. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you were to fasten your build to a solid enough base, it would force the energy to be exerted into the specific areas that you were aiming for.
Yeah i realised that once it jumped out of the hole hence why i stacked weights on top of it. Also probably why it did so well on the conrete floor in the warehouse

5:58 _"Maybe we could just leave it on Hamiltons farm until it goes off naturaly."_
Imagine the Wombat coming back to his hole, getting instead launched into the air by a spring trap. I mean... that would count as going off _naturaly_ , does it?
And the wombat would probably walk it off. Bloody tanks those things.
Hit one in an old '60's Mini doing about 80kph donkeys years ago (I was passenger). Spun the mini around about 5 times, left front wheel was displaced backwards enough to shorten my leg room and broke the radiator. We watched the wombat waddle off into the roadside drain. Thought "no way that could live" so tracked it down, it had keeled over in the ditch after about 30 meters.... stone dead with only a bit of fur missing off it's rump. Poor bastard, felt bad about it for ages.
Driver was mad though... kicked it really hard and screamed, I think he broke his toe.
You could say it would be naturally selected

Now make a Springlock suit.
What this tells me is that making a spring trap is actually an incredibly difficult feat of engineering.
And, the reason we don't use them irl is that making landmine is easier
@@komiks42he said it was impressive not practical
@@londonhall1690Actually, he said difficult
As he said at the end, the problem was 100% on the foundation of the trap. Unless the foundation was able to perform at stable conditions with more than the theoretical tension of the spring (500 KG) the energy would dissipate towards the ground. The spring released a lot of energy but the cage was a lightweight compared to it so 95% of this energy when to all sides.
Not really. This youtuber is just not that gifted..
I like how IDAT is progressively adding to his defensive/offensive arsenal. Can't wait for the Bloons TD 6 sponsorship, featuring a real Spike Factory (omnidirectional nail gun).
thats a tack shooter
But where will he get all the monkeys?
@@Tata-Joomajust has to call his fans
thats more like a tackshooter right, well when doing something like that why not make the ring of fire upgrade
Imagine he builds a Super Mines
I would suggest making the top platform have square tubing to slide down into the tubing on the base so that it keeps itself level. Also perhaps some sort of shock absorber would help to both reduce sudden impact force without reducing overall strength, potentially reducing stress on the trap itself, as well as reducing the likelyhood of leg breakage.
Watching this Less than an hour and a half after violently tearing my acl goes crazy
The scariest thing is trusting IDAT's welds to hold the spring under tension
Well this video is a pretty good reference for my welds ahaha

I'm not sure if this is more dangerous than the hammer gun you created or the pool stick, but this is definitely up there and I'm all for it!
Nah, springs are crazy dangerous. Even the smaller ones in garage doors have enough power to easily kill someone. Sends pieces of metal at the speed of a bullet. His past projects are all incredibly dangerous to him, but this one is dangerous to everyone even remotely close to him. A crazy amount of tension and energy is released all at once by a huge piece of metal.
It definitely is all the "guns" he's made have been using basically the smallest cartridges possible and he just calls them 50 cal despite being 22s like you could hurt yourself with them if you tried but even an explosive failure wouldn't be that bad with such a weak cartridge
What about the sawblade beyblade it was insane in the fist video on it then it became insanely psychopathic.
@@noodlelynoodle. I mean, you're correct on that, but rather than the cal, my reasoning for it being quite dangerous is the fact that the hammer threw nails at Mach Jesus to the point it went straight through a pan and also went flying through his roof several times while the pools stick was even worst since it threw pool balls so fast that they broke or went flying (again, at Mach Jesus) which could probably cause a concussion at the very least or a broken skull. Not only that, but irc, the stick broke several times and once it basically blew up, and when thing blow up, shrapnel is created, which is no fun to be close to.
So yeah, your point is really valid, but I still think they're crazy dangerous (still fun tho)
@@sleepless_fox3995"Mach Jesus" lmao
Maybe an outer tube around the spring to make sure the spring doesent bend would help stabilize the impact donwards and make it not shake as much sideways, you could also make a frame for the top plate with gudies that slide into the exisisting framework.
The thought of leeches in a field is something I choose to not comprehend.

My dude! Never fail to make me smile! Quality Aussie Engineering and Comedy.
you need limit straps to keep it from over extending on launch. Connect them from the bottom of the box to the launch platform. Make them just long enough to stop the platform at max spring height so it doesn't over extend. Limit straps and are used in off road vehicles with a lot of suspension travel.
You may try this again but with the trap fully grounded so ground around it can absorb more shock than the spring itself
Right. I feel like this was such a half assed attempt.
Could put another piece of metal tubing around the spring to stop debris from getting stuck in there and set it using a post shovel
@@Viralsmells My bet is that he wasn't personally as interested in the idea of making a spring trap but since he got paid to do it by the sponsor, he half-assed it. And for half-assing it it was pretty okay attempt, I've seen worse half-assed sponsor ideas from other youtubers.
@@Fortzon The video was fun imo but since he did this due to a sponsorship, he wasnt really free with the idea. I bet he gets ideas like this all the time but he scraps them out bc they may end up like this where issues caused by the machine stops him from pushing everything to its extreme.

Nicee! I think that mechanism would launch stuff much higher if it was tied down to the floor, since it seems to be wasting a good portion of the spring’s stored energy in lifting the entire mechanism.

You need a much heavier load for more energy transfer. The issues with the trap destroying itself is that all the stored energy has to go somewhere and if the load is too light because of the poor coupling between the spring and the load most of the energy doesn't go into the thing you're trying to launch but the spring trap itself. It's like trying to kick a football by driving a car into it I mean sure it'll work but the car could launch way heavier stuff too.
Oh, so it's like when you dry fire a bow? That makes sense, thank you
Firing a bow without any projectile can damage it because it doesn't have anything to transfer the energy but itself.
@@robertoszeka larger load acts as a damper
@@robertoszek exactly, that's another a good example. In fact the only test where the trap didn't damage itself and worked best was with the 40kg on top of it.
Do you think it would even work well with a heavy load? Projectiles tend to get faster the longer they are accelerated. This has such a brief time that the G force is huge but not enough time to transfer all the energy. Part of me feels like a longer spring that has slightly less compressive force but can be compressed more would work better.
@@Pepesilvia267 with a longer spring it would get even more wonky then it already is without some kind of guide rail. And the test with 40kg worked really well

look out albo!
I don't speak English very well but I'm going to try to explain it as best I can... if you put a separation (rubber) or something like that to separate the "metal - metal" contact from the spring to the base maybe that it will absorb a little energy to avoid breakage and transfer a little more energy to what you want propelled. Love your video by the way
Hello from Québec
Nearly perfect English, great job!
thank you I won't lie google translate helped me with some words😂
I appreciate the clip of yall hitting the spring like frightened cavemen
When something has so much energy being forced out that not only does it self destruct, but also shatters melons upon activation, you know you have something special
What I believe to be the reason your spring trap damages itself more then the load is you aren't loading it up enough. The trap as an excess amount of energy it has to get rid of. If you made limit straps to stop the spring from over extending that would fix your problems.
Needed to launch something heavier
You’re right about the spring doing way more damage to itself. If you find a way to anchor the tube to the ground, all the energy will go to the platform instead of most being wasted on itself.
It would have to be a VERY heavy base. If he welded flat metal panels to make the base a box filled with sand, it may be heavy enough, but that's a ton of counter force still
Yes, I was more thinking of those anchors that are powerful enough to shoot deep into concrete.
I think that launching heavier projectiles would also work. They'd absorb most of the energy, so less would be left in the platform at the end. But that would probably also mean slower launches and thus shorter heights.
Pour a 3’x3’x8” concrete pad and set the trap in the concrete, this would be buried below the ground, and then it would really shoot something in the air
As a decade-long player of the game this makes me really happy to see. :D
This is a brilliant way to do sponsorship Alex. I imagine you're getting like 10x the return, all for making a video you probably would have otherwise made, just with a slight theming re-skin (calling it a "trap" vs. "jack in the box" or something).
tbh being neighbors with idat is crazy like one day it’s normal the other it’s 8:57
Huhhhhh
Just for future reference in case you ever have to work with automotive coil springs again they make external strut spring compressors that will clamp on to the spring and you can manually collapse the springs. This might help you when the spring gets hung up so you don't have to drive wedges into your mechanism with a sledgehammer.
Ironically it looked like the spring was extended under pressure. The wedges were to seperate the spring and get the support out of the pipe that the spring was pulling it into.
