A few more thoughts on the Nerf Cannon.
Yes, I know if I used a longer barrel I could get higher speeds, but I did not want to deal with a 20ft long gun. I think a 6ft barrel was enough to show what a supersonic nerf dart can do.
Davekni got a pingpong ball going 2000mph which is 2930 ft/s!! (mach 2.5). His barrel was 20ft long. It can shoot through 3/4in plywood! You can see that video here- • Supersonic Ping Pong B...
I always thought the speed of sound was the limiting factor, because the flow 'chokes' at mach 1. Its a big controversy among air-gunners, and theres like a 900 post topic on it here www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/.... Some guy got one going like 2100 ft/s which I thought was impossible. • 2035 fps PCP Airgun L... So it prompted me to do some research.
It turns out flow does choke at mach 1, but its only the mass flow that chokes. The gas can still expand supersonically.
Also a big thanks to Dr. Carl Knowlen from University of Washington, and u/Overunderrated, u/TheQueq, and u/InductorMan from reddit.
Here are the papers I referenced:

Probably the most concise and easily understood!

This is my favorite video of yours yet!! Awesome design considerations and nice job on the construction. Plus the Schlieren imaging was super cool to see. I would have never expected nerf darts to survive being shot at supersonic speeds!
also i loved the bit where your lathe started on fire lol
Unrelated, I'm a big fan of yours. Your laser bazooka is one of my favorite videos on youtube.
haha thanks! TBH I kinda had to cheat and reinforce the nerf darts. I just used tape and earplugs, or filled the center with polyurethane foam because I did not want to add to much weight, that would invalidate results.
Im waiting patiently for your CO2 laser rifle, and flash powder pumped laser!!
Hey styropyro! Has your ban expired yet? I hope so! I love your channel and was really pissed when CZcams banned your channel for two weeks. Love your channel! ❤️

Nice. Now make it break the speed of light.
The Dude you cannot break the speed of light
@@god5926 you can,but its very difficult
Diego Ortiz r/woooosh
Sir Squiggles also no you can’t physically impossible unless you are using light or something lighter and less dense than light
Zonebreakerdude you can’t accelerate something faster than the speed of light. But if it is already the speed of light or more, it is allowed, like neutrinos

I was wondering this exact thing!
I wonder just how confusing the ballistic evidence from something like that would be lmao
Or if there could be near zero evidence if it was one of the biodegradable ones.
This video gives me serious Mythbusters vibes! Love it
So I’m assuming the “don’t aim at the face” rule applies
Nah
It's not like a Nerf dart moving at the speed of sound could harm you in any way...
Rescue Randy could probably survive this.
well dont aim at any body part applyes too
Lol
lol
Thats hilarious
Nerf: Our darts are made to not hurt!
Backyard scientist: *A R E Y O U S U R E A B O U T T H A T*
SheepBow it doesn't hurt when you're dead i suppose
@KingDuck Dodo I would rather say from 0 to 1234,8 km/h
@KingDuck Dodo and the person who got shot by this, his or her heartbeat went from 100 to 0 real quick
@Eric VandenAvond 150 fps is only around 45 meters per second, which is only about a sixth of the speed of sound
@Eric VandenAvond so it doesn't shoot nearly as hard
Am so enjoying your joy for the new lathe. I remember every detail of the first time i ran a lathe, and also how happy when i bought each of the four lathes i have bought. next you need a milling machine, and you often times need two lathes and two mills. so enjoy . i love to cut steel.

When you said you put an ear plug in the back to keep the nerf dart from exploding kit reminded me of cave Johnson in portal saying he figured out how to have turrets fire the whole bullet
I'd like to hear about where you get the design criteria from. 600psi is no joke. The entire branch of ASME was formed due to failing pressure vessels and I think it's important to discuss these safety considerations for such a high-profile project.

Wow this is awesome. Thank you
Thanks for the mention! The burst disk is faster than a solenoid but the gas accelerate thanks to Bernoulli effect bla bla bla... To have a stronger dart you can put thin CA glue in the hole a couple of times. Keep it up man, I’m a fan!
Giaco Whatever, Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You say you got a dart to mach 2.5, prove it! Until then I am going to assume that you are full of it.

Personal message: I almost didn't click this video. I was worried this would be a "we fired these out of a shotgun, but it kept turning into blue spaghetti, so I guess it won't go super sonic. don't forget to like and subscribe" video. Thank you for conducting some real science, and putting thought into your experiments. Thank you.
Stephen Escobar that still sounds fun though
Since that perfectly describes some of his past videos, I can agree. Quality is improving!
Well his name is backyard scientist
Stephen Escobar wrote: "...I was worried this would be a "we fired these out of a shotgun,..."
No, no, no. You go to Taofledermaus' channel to see weird things fired out of a shotgun. GRIN
@@Grynslvr2 Love Taofledermaus. Amazing what fans send in or manufacture for them to shoot.
I have done something similar using a big bore airgun and a disposable Sabot to house the nerf dart! That way you don’t have to thread the dart and the sabot will engage the rifling - it also worked best with my 1100psi output (3k PSI rated with 4.5k burst discs) HPA tank but I didn’t use Helium so maybe you got comps with that due to the pressure differential and the excitability of He. I’ve used He before in my Benjamin Bulldog (Pitbull Mod) but idk if it performs proportionately better at lower PSI’s. It didn’t work super well with my more powerful HPA tanks. Rather than 3D Print the Sabot like normal - since it’s so lightweight inside the sabot - I had some success making some large gelatin capsules into sabots but the most success using water tubing which I perforated in a few different patterns
My favorite project is something you might like - bc it’s like a more dangerous version of lawn darts - but it’s essentially the same principle but using flachettes. Bonus points if you can super glue a cap from a capgun over the tip to make it pop on impact. Idk if you could do that with a nerf dart but it would be cool! It would probably destroy the dart with some fun foam expansion but you’d have to put a sort of hard plastic cylinder in between the top of the dart and the cap to activate the cap
9:33 that was a hella awkward conversation 😂

the rougemillenial yeah probably just butter
Joyce Joseph You mean *He He*
Nice tip of the hat to demoranch! Sweet video, I wish I could have done that in science class!
Actually, I was wondering why you didn't try a vacuum cannon?
1. Insert dart in pipe
2. Seal *both* ends with burst discs
3. Pull the hardest vacuum you can on the *whole* barrel
4. Pierce rear burst disc
5. Send a Nerf dart through a plank like butter, or a ping pong ball through a bat like it was nothing.
I think NightHawkInLight got his up to at least Mach 2.
vacuums work only as well as the positive pressure outside. so in this case the effective pressure (no matter how pure your vacuum is) would be the same as air pressure at sea level. which is equivalent to around 15psi.
you've effectively taken off their 10,000psi cannister and replaced it with a 15psi one.
Maybe his tank was larger and his barrel was longer so it was able to accelerate for longer. Perhaps this allowed him to use a lower pressure so that the force from the pressure wouldn't rip the dart apart. Instead of designing it to accelerate it by a short burst of high pressure you could design it to accelerate with a longer bust of lower pressure.
When Matt from demo ranch watches exit. * hey. I’ve seen this one before*
I was so confused for a second then realized it was a joke. Its my first time watching one of his videos so i didnt know what his outro was lol
