Imagine the grip strength you'd have after a session of speedsolving with a heavy enough cube. You'd be grabbing shit like Mr. Incredible and his front door's doorknob.
They sell tungsten powder for adjusting the weight on golf club heads, if you could seal them up well enough you could eliminate all air gaps inside the cubes.
Now to just replace the plastic with steel (or even more tungsten) and you’ll have a cube that’ll be very hard to outweigh. Regardless it’s very impressive and I’d love to do a solve on that weight to experience it!
Heavy speed cubes could be a new thing/new way to work out your fingers so that you can do finger tricks faster? It’s like going to the gym for the fingers! And wrists for that matter.
Fast twitch muscle fibers are responsible for speed. Using a heavy cube would just be good to develop endurance, so his fingers don't tire and hurt his performance in competition.
you always put an insane amount of time and energy into these mod vids this was so fun to watch, although tungsten doesnt really sound like a word anymore!

the second he started talking about dense metals i new he was going to bring up tungsten and its kinda funny cus i actually have a chunk of tungsten that i just keep on my desk
@@Deathranger999 never said the least expensive. Just said easiest. Yeah metals like platinum, iridium, and gold would be expensive with the cheapest of those 3 being platinum at around $900/ounce. Osmium is hard to figure out how much it would cost since it's not really privately traded and it has all sorts of other issues with using it.
@@fallendeus I personally think there’s a huge difference between “easiest” and “easiest if money wasn’t a factor.” Clearly we were not defining the term the same way.
You can go even heavier without machining tungsten or buying a few kilos of osmium. Get an old-fashioned blocky Rubik's brand (for higher total piece volume) and make lead molds of the edge and corner pieces. Before pouring lead into each mold, fill it with as many tungsten cubes as you can fit. This pretty much replaces all the plastic and air of your 1600g cube with 11 g/cm^3 metal, which is pretty good for something so cheap and easy to melt (330 C).
@someoneidk177comparing the weight of something to real life objects gives an easy way to visualize it that isn't just numbers. I inherently know something like 1000 grams = 1 kg, but that gives no visual reference at all. People act like it's some weird American quirk, but it's just an easy way to get perspective on the weight of something.
@@JesusChrist-rc6ox just because someone has more subs doesn't mean he makes better videos (and no, I don't think JPerm's video's are bad or anything but it doesn't mean that Z3's videos are worse)
Density is mass per volume. Mass is pure weight Volume is area of said object If you want the greatest Density Use materials that have the greatest natural mass Then use said materials and put said materials in an established volume. In the case of a rubic cube, that means using great mass materials Then put said mass into the same volume of an ordinary cube. You have now created a cube with a vastly created total weight and density.
SLS-print an internal mechanism out of metal, and get sticker-less pieces made out of ceramic or something :3 Oh, and also include super magnets. It’d sacrifice a bit of weight, but it’d give you a much more intense workout, as you’d be fighting the magnets every time you turn it :3
Well what about using the métal one as frame, have it filled with tungstène cube and cast some lead in it to fill it up? Each part would be heavy and the structure would support all and would be fonctional.
I wanna get this for a friend of mine, they are really into cubing and even are one of the few people to have fully solved higher dimension cubes, this sort of thing would be a hilarious gift
This cube cured my mortality All the people here who bought this wireless tungsten cube to admire its surreal heft have precisely the wrong mindset. I, in my exalted wisdom and unbridled ambition, bought this cube to become fully accustomed to the intensity of its density, to make its weight bearable and in fact normal to me, so that all the world around me may fade into a fluffy arena of gravitational inconsequence. And it has worked, to profound success. I have carried the tungsten with me, have grown attached to the downward pull of its small form, its desire to be one with the floor. This force has become so normal to me that lifting any other object now feels like lifting cotton candy, or a fluffy pillow. Big burly manly men who pump iron now seem to me as little children who raise mere aluminum. I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten. How distant those days seem now, how burdened by the apparent heaviness of everyday objects. I laugh at the philistines who still operate in a world devoid of tungsten, their shoulders thin and unempowered by the experience of bearing tungsten. Ha, what fools, blissful in their ignorance, anesthetized by their lack of meaningful struggle, devoid of passion. Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can bear almost any how. But a man who has a tungsten cube can bear any object less dense, and all this talk of why and how becomes unnecessary. Schopenhauer once said that every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. Tungsten expands the limits of a man’s field of vision by showing him an example of increased density, in comparison to which the everyday objects to which he was formerly accustomed gain a light and airy quality. Who can lament the tragedy of life, when surrounded by such lightweight objects? Who can cry in a world of styrofoam and cushions? Have you yet understood? This is no ordinary metal. In this metal is the alchemical potential to transform your world, by transforming your expectations. Those who have not yet held the cube in their hands and mouths will not understand, for they still live in a world of normal density, like Plato’s cave dwellers. Those who have opened their mind to the density of tungsten will shift their expectations of weight and density accordingly. To give this cube a rating of anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself. Who am I, as a mere mortal, to judge the most compact of all affordable materials? No. I say gratefully to whichever grand being may have created this universe: good job on the tungsten. It sure is dense. I sit here with my tungsten cube, transcendent above death itself. For insofar as this tungsten cube will last forever, I am in the presence of immortality.
I wonder if training with this cube would improve or damage your speed solving game. Anyone remember that meme of an Amazon review for a tungsten cube? That's what came to my mind first! Now I want to actually see a Rubiks cube made from tungsten.
now you gotta make good use of it. you made it, you play it! stand up, scramble, and solve it a few times per day. half a year, and you will have the handshake of a hoof smith. hold it as far as possible from your body for bonus pain and gain. ..just dont drop it, especially not on your foot.
If this cube was made of neutronium aka neutron star matter it would weigh 63.15 billion tons and also it will decay and explode within 15 minutes if it would be on earth
I'm inclined to say you didn't make a heavy Rubik's cube. You took one and added weight: it'd be like having two congruent cars, then saying A is a heavier car because A's driver weighs more than B's. On a scale, yes. In principle, no.
hear me out: make sure the peices r watertight (or mercury tight) and fill all the empty space with liquid mercury 13.5 g/mL, make sure to do this in a well ventilated place, mercury vapor is toxic.
Use lead instead. Lead has an atomic weight of 207.2. Tungsten only has an atomic weight of 183.84. Both aren't radioactive, and I did the research. One pound of lead is nearly 4x as cheap as 1 pound of tungsten. I did the math, using lead instead, accounting for a normal frame, the cube would be roughly 1762 grams, then accounting for the 56.3 to 57, it would be roughly 1834 grams.
