Destin
Love the vids!
Can't wait to see the collab with StuffMadeHere where ya'll obliterate his turbo-bat
Saw the thumbnail, and I thought, "Um...is he okay? Not looking so good there. Is that hole...new?"
Might sound stupid, but what if you put a mic under the travelling ball to capture the sound of the sonic boom?
try doing a supersonic baseball vs another supersonic baseball and shoot them head on( i once threw a baseball to knock another baseball off its course and that was in high school, im 19 by the way)
Dude. That was absolutely bonkers. Can’t believe Trent was right at the end.
Time for you to make the Ultimate BaseBall Glove
Time to set the world record for world's largest baseball flame. At a birthday party.
Hi mark
Wassup Marky Rober
best moment imho...
There’s fire!
oh you're here. I love you guys. no homo
I'm pretty sure that's because of the Shockwave forming in front of the ball, the compressed air didn't ignite in this case where we have space for it to escape, but in the second case is like a pressure striker!
Hi slomo guys
I already see fire forming behind the baseball at the 102.303ms mark. What do you think Destin? Dirt/grease on baseball igniting because of air friction?
It's The Slow Mo Guys!!!!
Bob: Gets chest caved in by 1000 mph baseball.
Also Bob: 🗿
🗿👍
You must recognize Bob really is a tough guy. He didn't even flinch.
"Bob's gonna die..."
lol the realest statement i've heard today
Ikr
We need this on a shirt! I would buy that shirt.
Bob's dead.
I want "bobs gonna die" as my ringtone, i laughed so hard at the way he said it 😂
pure bob
Hey Destin!
Answer on your "fire" bewilderment: It's not friction but adiabatic compression of the air between the baseball and the glove. That's why the H-weave had no fire- the air was free to move through the netting. The basket weave was too tight for the air to freely pass, thus adiabatically heating the air to incandescence, then popping out the back. Fluid physics! Yay!
Thumbs up so Destin sees!
hey you just beat me to it, posted it below. Mine was just a hunch, but I bet you have qualifications to make this judgement
I was thinking the same thing, although I did not know the technical term for the phenomenon. It happens sometimes with large bore ammunition in ballistic gelatin as well.
so... Does that mean the other glove had more sugar? X'D
I don't see that as the _definitive_ answer. Most leathers are treated with oils for conditioning and suppleness. I agree with another answer in another thread (Jonathon Carey): they were compressed, atomized, and heated above their flash-points. I would check the gloves for variations in oils and formulations. This is a job for Project Farm: "Let's find out!"
I'm skeptical. The air is certainly compressing in the leading wave of the baseball by virtue of being supersonic, but is it enough compression to result in an adiabatic reaction?
The classic example of adiabatic compression is the combustion reaction in an engine cylinder, not in free air.
We need more data!
*DUALITY OF MAN*
"I think he's gonna cave in. I think he's gonna cave in the chest, and then the rest of the energy is gonna go into knocking him over."
"He's... Bob's gon' die."
I think the *fire* is a combination of the friction heat generated from the leather on leather contact + the adiabatic heating from the compression of the air into the enclosed glove.
Compression of the air or the oils/organics similar to dieseling
The ball was actually on fire before it hit the glove. Little orange comet tail 10:50
Nope, the ball isn't in contact long enough for friction. But close it is the compression of the materials because of the impact. When you compress matter it heats up.
@@diconicabastion5790 heat caused by compression is adiabatic - also, the opposing force caused by friction does not go to zero regardless of velocity.
@@willhagar9163I want to know what you think dieseling is.
“If leather... hits leather... supersonic... it creates fire?”
Well, you definitely slapped the chicken hard enough.
This needs to be pinned. XD
@@scottdotjazzman Yes
THE CHICKEN OML
I litrally read this right when he was saying that. BRUH
You can see the air rippling from supersonic.
Can you hear it braking the sound barrier?
I cant tell from the sound of it firing
"There is one tree in this field..."
"I was getting a good shot"
That killed me.
I was just waiting to hear "son, go get a gun" at that point!
I love the pressure ring around the ball as it travels supersonic. This was so much fun to watch.
As always, your videos teach & give back (bicycles). The test was a surprise to me, especially the 9-glove test. So much power!
my friend taught me how to ride a bike with one line “if you’re scared, pedal faster”
Lol that's awesome
Yea
true words
Lol
That’s actually smart
"Don't try this at home."
Sadly puts away supersonic baseball cannon.
Do away with the vacuum side and just build the pressure side; they over engineered by a lot.
lol
😂
Just finished this series out of order. One of the coolest things I've ever watched!
I really enjoy your videos, as a retired electrical engineer, I am glad you take so many safety precautions. If I lived near you, I would love to join your team!
Yo Bob didn’t even flinch, what a legend
He can't flinch if he's dead.
No flinch like Kobe ✊

"THIS SIDE IS NOT INTENDED AS A TARGET AREA. DO NOT STRIKE!"
Little did they know...
Your supposed to punch through the target XD
in French it's clear => "DO NOT STRIKE!" mean it for the punch i don't know why this is so unclear in english (bad waring?)
They didn't predict that someone might want to be making donuts with that boxing target
Top Comment! 🙌🏼 This cracked me up! 😂 They hit it on the way back
I think one of the coolest parts is that you can actually SEE the cavitation of the air around the ball as it’s flying
and then as it collide there is also a wave of air !crazy
nahhh bro. for real. the most fun part was seeing you being so excited to see your kids learn and how your wife tried her best to let her daughter feel safe while learning. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful experience. remembers me of the good time in my own childhood.. The moments our family at least knew a bit of peace. thanks man
"If leather hits leather fast enough, there's fire"
Sounds like the question of how fast must you slap to cook a chicken....
Thanks for the image. My belly hurts now. Lmfao😂.
Ur hand would get cooked too tho

Finally, I know the reason my johnson gets so overheated during... well, never mind. On the up side, maybe I won't have to go see a doctor after all.
I know there is a sound guy for the slowmotion sounds and I appreciate you dude they are amazing

Yeah the ripping sound of that the glove is satisfactory
He posted a video a couple years ago that shows the whole sound making process. There's also some extra footage for it on Smarter Everyday 2
@@MrZbe Everybody should check that, it's really cool to see how these sounds are done and how just slowing the original sound fails amazingly. Also, it can be a squishy mess so you know it's fun. :D
That mini fireball probably came from the super compressed air between the glove and ball. It didn't happen on the H weave because the air could move somewhere else. I've seen this same effect in the rebounding aftershock in ballistics gell from extreme high speed bullets. When the cavity collapses it rapidly compresses the air inside and causes ignition.
Most accurate statement yet
Thanks for the video...that was fun and the best 18 minutes I have expended in many days. Awesome photography
3:45 "Bob's gonna die." straight deadpan and dead sincere! Positively priceless!
"dont try this at home" because I also have a supersonic baseball cannon in the garage
and if you are one of the like 100 other people with access to artillery like this then.. well you're probably going to do this at home if you want to and you probably have some authority in it lol.
No, wait!! I’ve got one in my back pocket!!!
5:23 Dude! The thin lines before and the circular flash on impact are the coolest real-life 'vfx' i've seen!
Actually, that was real.
"don't do this at home" yes i have a baseball gun at home. LMAO
11:33 theoretically, that means that if two cows collided at supersonic speed, they could potentially cook themselves on impact
LOL!
Anything can be dinner if it's going at the right speed.
It's possible to cook a chicken by slapping it 27'800 times, so I think it could be possible to cook a cow that way xD
this made me laugh
Super sonic burgers
WOW! at 11:00 there was fire behind the ball travelling before it hit the glove??!!
Yeah there was a little puff of flame right before the ball went out of view
Hi electroBOOM love your videos
that's shockwave
I guess your thinking of making your own version of flaming/Arc ball 🤔..
Nice eye, yes.
"you see i think he is gonna have a hole in him but the rest of the kinetic energy will go into knocking bob over"
"Bob.... Bob's gonna die"
Epic job dude. It's fantastic to wake up every day and do what you love to do. Well done
"We're gonna start stacking gloves until we figure out what it takes to stop a supersonic baseball"
Sounds a lot like the premise of a Demolition Ranch video
Ooooh i was looking for a coment like this one😁 right on the money
Matt would have been super excited to see this.
That's what I was thinking.... can you imagine Matt and Destin together? Nothing would be safe.
"THANKS FOR WATCHIN' I LOVE YA'!"
a glove with a steel skeleton and tough industrial rubber mouldings on the surface, on top of massive steel springs...could do it...if the ball doesnt explode on it ..the steel springs would have to take the kinetic energy right away to absorbe ..or boom..
Bob's a legend, a super sonic ball went through his chest and he didn't even flinch. What a tank.
His counterpart over at Taofledermaus receives less trauma from a heavy slug
@@sharkteeth5998 pssh, details
He only experienced a heart attack
Well he just built differently
SHEEEEEEEEEE
I absolutely love the waves coming off the back of the ball before the first impact.
The most heartwarming thing in this video, for me personally, was the goofy daddy laughter in the end. I relate to that very much!
And as a dad, I know what emotions are behind such laughs. Never take offense from a goofy dad laugh, people, it comes directly from the heart!
I think if Bob was wearing a Kevlar vest, the ball would have pulled it through the body. Very cool video!
I think so
Would be fun to see! I think kevlar may have distributed the force enough to destroy the ball.
I disagree, Destin, so now you have to do that video to prove me wrong! 😂
Think it could do just that, like silk and an arrow head.
@@wobblysauce an arrow doesn't pull silk in with it
Massive credit to whoever is adding/editing the sounds in during the slo-mo shots. They make it so much more pleasing to hear than hearing nothing would be.
Ashellinthepit
Yep, you can see plasma forming outside the sound barrier. Absolutely Amazing
9:46 I realized that the baseball has a visual ring to it just like last video but in the last video the ring wasn't visible. I think it is fascinating that you can see the ring. Nice job
"Bob's gonna die"
Me who is named bob:
*_*nervous sweating_**
Sweet. a new sacrifice.
Bob 😣😖😫😩😭
good day Robert
@Hungary #1
Yes?
Bye, Bob.
Awesome as always. I've got a strong suspicion the fire is the diesel effect. You see this a lot in ballistic gels where combustible vapour released from the supersonic bullet hitting the gel is rapidly pressurized until it ignites. Sort've like a fire piston. I think the ball has so much surface area that when it hits the glove it makes a momentary sealed chamber, as well as leather vapour, which both compress until ignition
Interesting !
That's along the lines of what I was gonna say. Under extreme and very fast pressures you can ignite steel wool in a chamber. I can't remember what youtube channel made a clear one of theses
There are oils and waxes in the leather to keep it supple. If you really pinch some chrome tanned leathers you can actually see some of that leather dressing exude. I imagine that would vapourize on impact. Is that what you mean by leather vapour? If so, that's what I was thinking, too. It doesn't seem likely that tanned skin itself would burn that well.
@@manatoa1 I think the oils will burn/vaporize first, but under those sorts of pressures the leather itself would vaporize a bit. Doesn't really matter one way or the other, it'll all burn once the pressure gets high enough. It's all just carbon compounds + oxygen + pressure at the end of the day
@@thethoughtemporium "It's all just carbon compounds + oxygen + pressure at the end of the day" Exactly! We all are! :D
Thanks for your great videos, BTW!
I’m intrigued by this video subject. It blows me away knowing that there are super smart people out there that can figure things out and make it interesting and fun. Thank you
i actually stood up and grabbed my head with a shocked expression on my face at 13:44 lol then i realised how silly i probably looked and sat back down XD crazy stuff man keep it up
3:45 “Bob’s gonna Die...”
The way he said that, so serious, was Hilarious!
He wasn't lying though...
Just straightforward. Bob is just dead.
Look closely behind the ball around10:52 before it even hits the glove you can see a little red flame behind the ball, crazy! The list of things you should try shooting with this are endless, hope we get to see more soon! also rub fuel on the ball and see if it ignites mid air.
I went to comments as soon as I saw it, hoping someone pointed the tiny fire trail form the baseball out
Not a chance. Remember just how slow this slow motion is. The sparks do not contain enough energy to heat up the nearby fuel to ignition. Its not that fire begets fire, its that fire is hot and heats things up to burn them.
Hire this man.
@@randohorsley I'm not saying it would ignite the ball, I'm saying add fuel to try and recreate the spontaneous mid air ignition that is already happening with the ball in the footage, the flame is started before it even hits the glove, maybe the ball had some oil on it or something.
That is just so crazy. The amount of energy in this system is more than scary
Nobody is talking about how Bob was able to keep a straight face through it all. What a legend.
Very cool condensation ring forming behind the ball’s bow wave.

"These bikes come 95% assembled, super easy to put together" - Says guy who built a super-sonic baseball cannon.

What’s cool is the gloves don’t even know the ball is there until after it has passed through. There is absolutely zero movement of the glove or gloves while the ball passes through. That ball is traveling so fast that it slices through without even disturbing the glove until after the ball is gone! Crazy! So cool! What an awesome video. I watched all of them 3-4 times before today but had to watch them again.
Even the ad was great. You're very, very good Destin. Mind + blown!
7:02 “but it didn’t go through Bob, I feel better for Bob”
Right, the baseball is IN Bob though 😂
imagine gettin that ball lodged in your chest lol
It hurt
Just give Bob some Pepto and he will work it out
"Bob's gonna die."
Destin: *_WHEEZE_*
"There's one tree in this field Trent..."
"I was getting a nice shot!"

Moral of the story: If someone hits a ball at 1000mph don't try to catch it!!!! This will not be good for your health.

What a super TOP video.
I'm glad someone out there is having this much fun, and even more glad he's sharing it with everyone!

That Baseball cannon makes a 50 BMG look like a .22LR . Haha
@@unseenjake2 A 5 ounce baseball moving at 1500fps has a "muzzle energy" of about 11 000 ft-lbs.
Compared to 50 bmg with 13 000 - 15 000 ft-lbs.
So its actually not far off.
@@Steve-vp8ng i don't know the energy of the baseball and I'm too lazy to calculate it but a 50 bmg has around 15,000 (or less depending on loading) ftlbs of energy. Not 1,500
@@Steve-vp8ng You're off by a factor of 10. The ball has ~11,000 ft-lbs and the .50 BMG 13,000 - 15,000 ft-lbs.
@@ChadRazorback Youre right, fixed it.
Hi, when the glove is his by the baseball and you see some flame wouldn’t it be the organic oils. The localized compression forces would be similar to dieseling which can use a variety of organics as fuels?
The slow motion on the 9 gloves is extremely satisfying
This helps explain my childhood fear of catching baseballs
Except they were going 40 mph not Mach 1.3 lol

My fear of that comes from missing a sky-high ball with my glove, and instead trying to catch it with my eyeball.

I love this video and thank you for doing this cool stuff. I do wish that you would have calculated the speedo the ball before and after striking the baseball glove. Just to see how much energy it took to go through that glove. That would've been cool.
I think that you can take this cannon as an entertainment piece, to baseball games on the stadium and have live shows. Show the shots on big screens and it will be a hit. People will love to see the supersonic cannon in action.
and if the ball goes through some expectator by accident, that will add to the show 😛

Nobody talking about the awesome plasma aura surrounding the ball. That is some Super Sayan level baseball there.
True!
I think the ring behind baseball is a vapor cone / shock collar / shock egg.
That's water vapor condensing around the low pressure zone in the wake of the ball. While that doesn't sound as cool as making plasma, leaving a supersonic trail of clouds is still awesome.
