    This is actually a lot easier than you might imagine haha. The trick is not to pull the bottom piece out in a direction perpendicular to the layer above it. If you pull parallel to the second layer, with a slight twist, it isolates most of the motion in the bottom 3-6 layers as opposed to the entire tower.

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade
      @SmallSpoonBrigade 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wasn't even remotely surprised by that. The two main challenges to getting this to work is that the block has to be removed quickly enough that the next blocks fall flat. And, the vibrations that ripple up and down the tower need to be vertical to have any chance. Obviously, it's not easy, but the faster the bottom block is removed, the better chance you should have at that happening. But, even with that, it's likely to have a very high failure rate.
      I'm a bit surprised that they didn't try knock it off with something similar in thickness to the blocks and having it bounce back after giving enough force to the block to knock it clear.

    @JusBidniss 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The composition of the tower's stacked pieces is everything. The crashes all occurred when there was a gap in a middle layer that was opposite the direction of the bottom piece's momentum, allowing the stack above that gap to rock backward. There were two such layers on the blue actuator at the end, which worked due to its speed. It failed on the big blocks because it had a brief pause between striking and exiting the stack (seen using 'pause, comma, period' frame advance), probably due to its weight. A more powerful actuator might have worked on the big block stack.

    In Elijah's tower pull that almost worked, there was an extra block in the bottom center that wasn't there for the super sized blocks. The same happened with Valerie except instead of 3 blocks she had 2 with one of them in the center. Those blocks effected the structural stability and integrity at the bottom therefore making it more likely to work than the other method.

    They never tried the best case tower with all the layers being two planks, open in the middle, except for the one they're going to remove. Structural stability is an important variable to control for.

  • @dknollRX7
    @dknollRX7 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Also, the larger blocks may not have been sanded and smoothly as are the standard Jenga blocks, so the coefficient of friction would be different as well. However, the test really needed to be performed on the standard game for actual validity, regardless. I would assume the largest determining factor would be the construction of the rest of the tower and how stable the structure is at any given point. That would have much more variability in your results.
