Today's revelation: our standing desk not only aids in efficiency and health but also serves as a lifesaver (especially for your head)!
Give Americans desks to wear around as protection for their heads from falling coins
make a flexispot helmet to protect people from falling coins
Thank you for giving him a new bulletproof wall to hide behind

Is there an aus site? Or is it america and canada only ?
Not only did this video prove that falling coins could be lethal, we also saw the creation of the world's most realistic piggy bank

The reason why you were seemingly throwing coins at 172km/h is because of perspective. The cameras FOV is a cone starting from the camera, meaning the farther from the camera something is the more distance it can travel before it goes out of frame. This means that when looking at the coin passing in front of the markings, it can go from covering one marking to covering the next marking going less distance than there is between the two markings. This can be counteracted by moving the camera further away and cropping in, decreasing the slope of the cone relative to the surface vector of the marking board, as the cone shape is now closer to a cylinder than before.
Can you Explain this in Easy language
@@fara-sarait do the slope so perspective look weird
E
You are kind of on the right track but not quite. First of all: don’t think cone, think pyramid. Second: What you are describing is called parallax. The parallax effect is definitely a factor but I think you are overestimating it. One additional issue here is that even with so many fps, in an individual frame the coin is very blurry. This makes it hard to make out its exact position. I expect this to contribute a lot to the error. That combined with the parallax effect might significantly affect the result. There is also lens distortion. However, that is mostly a concern when pure pixel distances are used. In this instance the painted bars werde used which of course are equally affected by lens distortion therefore eliminating it as a factor in theory.
Another adding factor to the error is the distance between the coin and the scale: the higher it is, the bigger the error
6:30 I like the little detail that he went from safety glasses to a full face shield out of fear xD
The one thing he still needs to test are side winds. I suspect that during the fall from the Empire State, that side gusts would hit the coin and send it off-face. The counter to this is a really strong spin, but I don't think you can pull that off with enough inertia - mostly because the coin doesn't have enough relative mass. So, I still think there is a real possibility that a spun, heavy coin would not kill someone if you dropped it.
Also worth noting that the original myth is a penny, which I think even with these ideal conditions wouldn't kill anyone.
Superb video as always.
You really made this "will a falling coin kill someone" as a front to making another deadly ranged weapon didn't you
Oi oi oi, what's all this then.
No, he intuitively realized that if he was the one dropping coins of a building, they'd be lethal
built different
he built a coin throwing crossbow. thats what it is.
Wind exists. I've been on the Empire State Building and it was windy af up there. A coin wouldn't be able to stay vertical with that wind.
They also used a coin 10x heavier than a penny. I don't know what's the weight of a quarter but I know it's not the 10x the weight of a penny.

E
@@EEEEEEEE thank you for your input, E
The reason it took the drone so long to descend is because the downward facing sensors were blocked by the coin contraption, so the drone kept thinking there was something below it, and was descending at "landing speed"
And it should be possible to disable that sensor somewhere in the settings (at least possible in my mavic pro, mini has a different app now)
Just don't forget to enable it again later, or you risk slamming your drone into the ground at its max descend speed
I swear i had obstacle avoidance turned off but hearing from others i should have put it in payload mode

Tbf the top of your car is usually some pretty thin sheet metal, some cork and fabric
Most cars are not designed to stop projectiles. They are designed to give way to absorb heavy impacts.
@woalk This cars are built to slow down impact from other cars by allowing itself to crumble better absorbing the impact essentially making up intentional weak spots.
But unless modified its not made to protect against high speed projectials

Can you guys give some more? I’m taking notes 😅
The problem with accelerating an object to terminal velocity with anything other than gravity is that it accelerates far too quickly, the forces acting on the coin have much longer to make it unstable in flight when falling and makes it more and more likely to start fluttering... slowing it to be relatively harmless. You'd be better to use a shape that is relatively stable like a ball bearing if you really were a homocidal tourist.
I appreciate the suggestion for alternative murder weapons you included at the end
I could calculate actual terminal velocity, but I'm too lazy.
@@Ociloc Im here to please

I like the idea of a post apocalyptic character that uses a "Coin Rifle" as his primary weapon. Going from place to place looking for "Ammo"
Probably becoming less realistic now as physical currency is becoming less popular. Also, "rifle" is probably an inaccurate name for a coin gun as "rifle" refers to a barrel with helical pattern of grooves; any feasible method of shooting a coin that i can imagine would not involve such a barrel. You may be able to form a crude bullet/slug by hammering a stack of coins together and fire them from a shotgun. I guess some type of coil gun or rail gun could be made to fire coins, the exact composition and shape of the coins would probably be important.
"only my railgun" intensifies.
that is just fallout lol

@@IDCSAO terraria coin gun?
So I calculated an estimate using wolfram alpha.
Fall distance: 377m (1237 ft)
Drag coefficient: 0.431711746 (best one I found)
Projected surface area: 87.52 mm^2 (spinning dodecagon with thickness)
Fluid density (air): 1225 g/m^3
Weight: 15.55 g (like half a bullet)
The result was 67 m/s (241 km/h, 150 mi/h) for the speed of the empire state building (visiting area) and
82 m/s (295 km/h, 183mi/h) for the terminal velocity
which are very dangerous indeed (deep tissue injury, bone fractuce)
You would also keep the coin stably spinning for at least 11 seconds.
Thats awesome. I shot the pig head at around 230 kmph so 240kmph could definitely be deadly!!! I need to use programs like this
It would be a challenge to keep it spinning around z axis only for 11 seconds considering wind. It would need to have a hole and be much bigger to have the same mass 🤔
I agree washers would probably spin more stably because more of the mass is further from the center, but I also think the hole would increase drag substantially. You could probably get the best results by using a washer but taping over the holes
The entire point was a penny though, where has 15.55g come from exactly?
australian 50 cent coin, did you watch the video?@@wyterabitt2149
14:19 THATS INSANE
This is a masterclass for OSHA.
I wouldn't be surprised to see you teaching the advanced safety course.
The reason you may have had trouble getting the done down: Mavic Minis have sensors on the bottom. The magazine almost certainly wouldve triggered the sensors, causing the drone to think it was perpetually right above the ground. As they're programmed to fly up to about 1m above the ground it just kept flying up (as seen in the video) until it hit the legal altitude limit and ran out of charge, falling slowly back down to the "ground" which it thought it was directly above.
Yh I just comented that…
Can confirm as I own the mini 1 and 2, and have performed similar antics before...They get grumpy about objects attached to their underside.

Mythbusting Mythbusters seems like a fun series, although I fear it maybe a short run series.
@@user-yl7mr3ck5lwhat u mean "keep"? he didnt debunk anything here, he actually points out that with the same coin under the same conditions he got the same numbers as Adam Savage. The Mythbusters tested free falling American pennies, IDAT used Aussie 50 cent coins thrown with spin (which you couldn't do up the Empire State Building cos they have barriers to prevent it)
@@user-yl7mr3ck5l This doesn't debunk it at all though. The myth that was busted was dropping a penny off the empire state building. This video appears to not be about either pennies or dropping things so is completely irrelevant to the myth, though very entertaining.
@@nephatrine Actually, I think you'll find that the majority, if not all, of Mythbuster's experiments are severely lacking and don't account for a myriad of variables. It's still a decent show, and relatively informative, but it's hardly the be all, end all of scientific mythbusting. It was all very surface level, they had limited time to do things and a limited budget. The main thing was to make an entertaining show. I wouldn't take most, if any of it, as irrefutable scientifically proven fact however. (In fact, I wouldn't do that with many actually scientifically proven facts, in the first place. There's very little which turns out to be actually irrefutable. We learn, we grow, we learn more.)
Also, this video is entirely about dropping pennies. And as stupid yet entertaining as IDAT always is. Though hardly a "debunk" video, lol.
@@anomonyousmythbusters frequently take liberties to make it more plausible.
@@nephatrine Well one huge problem with the penny drop from the empire state building is if dropped from anyplace the general public has access to from any height there or above it will always land on a ledge. The lowest ledge is not very high up meaning it will basically always catch a thrown or dropped penny or other coin. You could throw it way out sure but even then you wont manage to hit any given target.
As far as the myth busters go a insane amount of their stuff was debunked and shown to be false. Effectively once the internet was in basically every home the show lost popularity and ratings flat lined as people would see something on the show then go and look up the physics facts or other facts related and just stopped tuning in
This man is living proof that pain compliance is not a reliable form of self defense. He clearly experiences human discomfort at a much lower level than most, and could almost certainly continue to attack you as you taze him directly in the balls.
He is Australian after all
came back this channel two years after not watching it, i did not exepect it to change so much.
Some people are confused about things in the video that i didn't explain very well.
1. Me throwing the coin had nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to know how fast I could throw a coin and also if it was possible to keep it on the skinny edge.
2. I wasn't suggesting that you need to throw the coin off the empire state building to reach a fast enough speed to kill someone. Just that by dropping it with a spinning motion would keep it on the skinny edge allowing it to reach a much faster terminal velocity.
3. The terminal velocity I calculated was actually slower than ones that people in the comments have estimated using physics programs. Some of the estimates were around 300 kmph.
The point of the pig test was to show what a coin traveling at 230kmph (slower than the terminal velocity) would do to you. Turn you into a piggy bank
4. Also the point of the dam test was to show that the spin would at least keep the coin on the skinny edge for 45 meters.
5. How you going?

"I don't want to make a gun in this video", procedes effectively make a gun
You could make a handheld rod with a slot for the coin to go in. When you swing the rod, the centrifugal force will make the coin roll up the rod and get launched out the end. This will make it go fast while also making it spin. It is sort of like a lacrosse stick.

The speed calculation at the beginning may have been wrong because it didn't consider parallax. Parallax is when things closer appear to move faster than things further away. This is the same thing that means you can move your finger a few centimetres in front of your eye and it appear to move past the moon. Trigonometry or something.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
Parallax is not intrinsically about speed. It affects an observers ability to accurately determine the speed of two objects at different distances. It also affects the ability to read a stationary analogue gauge l.
He could do some silly math to find the actual distance it traveled… but a chronograph is “easier”
he also didn't consider that framerate isn't necessarily the same as shutter speed, you can be shooting at 250 FPS and 1/500 shutter speed, that'd mean the shutter is only open for half a frame for every frame (1/500th of a second every frame), thus, whatever it appears to have travelled in one frame, is actually half of what it travelled during the frame-time
Actually he made a mistake as in his calculation his coin traveled 172 kmph while the fastest baseball pitch was 170 kmph (106 mph), and we know it's much easier to accelerate a small compact and aerodynamic metal object than a big soft baseball
Now I want to know how the Australian 50 cent coin stands up compared to the US half dollar or the original dollar coin. Those things are huge, but kind of hard to find nowadays. They're both completely circular though, so no odd angles.
The Australian fifty-cent coin (15.55 g) is heavier than the US half dollar (11.340 g) but way lighter than the old silver dollars (26.73 g) or Eisenhower dollars (22.68 g).

Not always, but people fall on their head trying to do a handstand, and that's (for some people) about 220 lbs coming down on your head from a hand's-width or so drop. I mean, it's *able* to kill you, for sure, and you said "could" so you're not wrong... I'm mostly replying because it occurred to me that there are adults that weigh 220 lbs and can thump their head with their body weight behind it and survive.
Also, Matthias Steiner dropped 432 pounds on his head and neck when he slipped while competing in weightlifting during the 2012 Olympics. He walked off afterwards -- to a hospital for imaging. I'd imagine he managed to at least slow it with his arms, but it is still impressive (don't look it up if you're squeamish). So therefore we need to test large Canadian coins on large Germans.
@@falsnamae3511 And then there's the 1 tonne Gold Kangaroo - plenty heavy enough to crush you without needed a drop height
And then theres my massive steel balls. That can kill with a single tbag
The *real* pondering would be about the USD gold dollar coin. Which weigh in at 1.672 *grams* ...

BRO I JUST SEARCHED UP HOW TO TIE AN CONSTRICTOR KNOT AND NOW THIS VIS SHOWS UP TF
"i was unable to destroy it" is the best endorsement a sponsor could ask for

bro way too fucking soon
My thoughts exactly, and then laughing at it…
It's not just soon, it's still currently happening
@@MolecularMachine just so insensitive and ignorant. And no one is talking about it
@@meryannaji1517 For what it's worth, the guy who said it is very much opposed to the crimes being inflicted on the Palestinian people right now. I doubt he meant anything bad with it. I agree it was in bad taste though.
made me unsubscribe immediately.
The fact he has to call it a magazine and makes a coin rifle after saying he doesn’t want to make a gun. This guy might as well just move to the US and get a permit to design and manufacture firearms
You know you made a good product when this guy cant destroy it
14:12 "I feel like a.... Palestinian" NOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭
HAHA
I really feel like the drop from the Empire State Building would be long enough to lose the spin and make the coin start gliding on its flat face anyway. Maybe this specific coin is still heavy enough to pack a punch, but probably not go straight through a human skull.
So what you're saying is that we need to find a building at just the right height so that the spin is lost right after it hits the ground?
just spin it faster or something
It’s the same concept as of shooting a bullet with a gun. Even if you shoot a gun, the bullet will eventually slow down due to air friction and become non lethal.
@@xirenzhang9126
to spin it really, really fast you'd basically have to build a Coingun and be firing it downwards from the Building, which starts to drift out of falling and also is definitely no longer an accident.
something like those Foam Disc launchers, or Airsoft/Paintball guns. some very fast squash rollers.
@@ecard0 Absolutely. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but true.
“Oh thats the twin towers” 😂😂 absolutely wild joke from your mate there
I bet a falling uncooked bean could penetrate the human body at a fast speed. 🤔
The flexispot is nice looking but inside the legs there is a weak spot, a plastic part on which all the weight rests. Mine failed. That being said, they immediately shipped me a new one after a semi frustrating video proving that it didn’t work. So they do stand behind their products.
They stand behind their product lmao
Pretty sure they stood on their product too.
