I wouldn't risk that.. Chip that shit and ingest any of the crap and you've just upped your risk of cancer by a fair amount. DU is one of the causes of increased rates of cancer in Iraq (most age demographics) and all cos the US used it in tank shell penetrators and didn't bother to clean the place up after destroying it. There are 17-18 year old Iraqi kids with cancer cos of DU and all cos they played in areas smashed to dust containing DU.
Remember the old "water bats"? They had a hollow in the bat with some h²o in it that moved to end of hollow when swung, effectively increasing your momentum and power. How's about a water bat filled with mercury?
mercury is a massive safety violation. "Relatively" safe but not ideal. There's other heavy liquids they can use. .... Or just fill the bat with an oil+tungsten powder mix. That's pretty much tungsten liquid!
You need to send this bat to Mark Rober or Smarter Everyday to see if they can build a machine to swing this bat and get a home run with it. They have done it before with a regular bat, this would be a fun challenge I think...
the hardware cost to swing this bad would be astronomical. Think 1 inch solid steel shaft. And also the bat would disintegrate. It'd have to be carbon fibre or steel fibre reinforced for tensile strength.
@@dimitar4y idk. Most of a car is thin aluminium id have a hard time breaking solid tungsten without heating it up to red-hot and hitting it with a solid steel hammer. A lead tungsten alloy will be more likely to bend then break. And even then. You'd have to be fighting a terminator to break that bat
@@dimitar4y Wait did I miss something was it not partially hallowed bat. I'll have to go back and rewatch. Because I'm starting to think I missed something about the bats internal design.
@@groverbundy899 so what if they set up an illegal human kidney stealing business where they steal humans and then “acquire” their kidneys. Later these humans can be “discarded”
@@groverbundy899 That most likely didn't take that long because you used basic elementary math and one baseline price for a kidney so I don't know why you had to clarify that you have nothing to do.
@I_Kill_People 4_Money it is and if you have watched linus tech tips before (he also has raycon as Sponsor) you know they are just gstting money and they actually don’t care how they sound.
The tungsten bat was hard to even lift; the lady picked it up almost casually, talked while moving it and with it, and then said she was weak? She's amazing.
Just for anyone that doubts, the biggest warhammers used in medieval times only weighed about 6 pounds for one handed variants, with the larger ones for two hands weighing approximately 12 pounds and were usually only for ceremonial or decoration purposes or were mostly used for the thicker spike for defeating armored cavalrymen. The largest hammer in supposed records was a gigantic Lucerne Hammer, which supposedly weighed in at just under 31 pounds, but also was never used on the battlefield (at least to historical accuracy on our current records) for the obvious reason that someone with a lighter weight poleaxe (a more common weapon among medieval infantry) was far more dangerous because they could actually wield it with dexterity and accuracy. Weight to a weapon is only amplified by the amount of force you can push on it, and if there's this gigantic hammer that weighs in over 20 pounds, you're not going to be able to get a lot of momentum to get the real driving weight behind it to do any kinds of damage. These guys might be able to see much more effect if they built a kind of swinging machine, which you can make out of wood reinforced with steel plates, probably needs to be powered by high powered gas pistons, to see the effect of it reaching a deadly velocity, but this bat is by no means man-portable or feasible to use. Depending on the power of this swinging arm, they could probably turn that bat into basically the deadliest, but most inaccurate baseball cannon of all time.
Try using a fast vibrating plate while pouring the lead. It should allow it to flow and shaken down more tungsten making it denser. Also cut off the shanks of the end mills and drills to fit more material. Have to check out the other bat projects now!
I used to make drill bits for oil that way. Well, not in an aluminum bat, but a graphite mold.And not from tungsten carbide bits but with powdered tungsten. We used brass as the binder because at 2000 degrees it flows like water and soaks into all the powder, but the temp has to be held for 2 hours. Also, because I found it interesting and I hope others will, too, the powdered tungsten we used came in 1/2 gallon paint buckets that weighed something like 55 lbs each. If y'all had used that stuff, you would have doubled the weight of your lead bat.
i had a debate the last video about why noone could play with a bat this heavy because of the center of mass and its not the guys being weak, some commenters thought to know better and i sure feel satisfied now after the trained player had difficulties lifting it straight in a swing. ^_^
that'll be one quick clutch and gearbox replacement, but it will ride just fine. I'm worried about the high RPM exploding the tyres and throwing lead shrapnel directly at, infront, and behind the driver.
Faster is definitely better than heavier. Kinetic Energy is 1/2*Mass*Velocity^2. So mass increases energy linearly. Velocity increases it exponentially. I love that they were actually going to try and return it for you haha.
You could try depleted uranium next. Not sure where to get a lot of it but the most use for DU is in bullet manufacturing since DU offers great penetrating power. Might want to try asking around with gun guys a bit and maybe they, or someone they know, can get cheap access to fragments that have been used, un wanted ammo, or have them donated to you.
Was thinking the same thing. The US has a good supply of ridiculously huge dudes so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone with a few hours to spare.
Great video. Thoroughly answers, "What did you do?!" X) Question for a potential future project: Is it possible to use a waterjet to cut and fold flat steel stock into a steel drum/steel pan drum? Would that even work?
This is an impedance matching issue - adding weight to a bat reaches a point of limiting returns with any given weight of ball, sure, but a heavier ball will be able to get more energy out of a heavier bat. So now you need to try the tungsten carbide+lead bat with a tungsten carbide+lead ball!
Remember, kids. Kinetic Energy = .5mv^2; This means that velocity is exponentially impactful on the oomfatude of your swings, whereas mass is a linear relation. Effectively, if you wanna hit the ball further, you want to swing faster.
Time for depleted uranium
Or gold.
@@johntheux9238 gold has basically the same density as tungsten, it’s almost no difference.
@@calebm.5698 But that's not Tungsten, that's cemented tungsten carbide and lead.

Gallium would be a good substitute too.
That was the exact basis for the executioner's sword in the Gene Wolfe books, "Shadow and Claw"
Why not try heavy water or dry water they are safer(though one is explosive) and heavier I think
You should totally leave that bat laying around at a ball game and watch for someone to pick it up!
Yes, they should milk it for another video
Thor is well known for his hammer, who only the worthy are capable of lifting. Lesser known is Thor's bat.
Yesss!
Take it to a ball game and switch the bat for one of theirs lol
The scrap value is more than the price of the bat
We really got a "minions of Hephaestus at happy hour" energy goin' on over here
This is that one club that does 50-500 damage and requires 150 strength to equip.
-7 to hit, but it does 10 d6 +10 bludgeoning damage.
-30% movement speed, attack speed and stealth. But it looks cool with the rest of your gear so...
Aslo one shots everything
takes 5 years to swing but if u predict their dodge u get a one shot lmfao
Six second swing timer, double stamina use.
Guess youll just have to sell your waterjet to give us a real tunsten bat now
Or just go all the way with a tungsten bat!

That amount of tungsten was worth WAY more than the return value of the bat lol
The amount they used? It’s not, because it’s not pure tungsten. It’s worth much less than even raycon is paying them, never mind TH-cam
The tungsten bat will pay itself back, with guaranteed home runs, you can become a pro player and make millions

I never tire of those mountains in the background. They make you feel so small.
I don't know why I find the twisted lead bat so absolutely hysterical but it always makes me laugh
I already knew this video was gonna happen.
It was in a community post
This looks like it weighs as much as the Dragon Tooth from Dark Souls
Ha
YES! I've been waiting for this vid
The store returns are always hilarious. I think the chainsaw was the best.
Tungsten != Tungsten carbide. The later is significantly less dense.
yeah, by at least 30% assuming those inserts were pure carbide, which they probably aren´t. The lead might be heavier or at least quite close.
This was the closest they could get. Real solid tungsten is MUCH more expensive.
@@useraccount333 you buy it in powder form, it doesn't cost that much and much easier to handle.
@@danielgoetze cutting tools are somewhere in the 6 to 10% cobalt range along with other small percentages of Ta, Ti, Nb, Cr.
Try using a fast vibrating plate while pouring the lead. It should allow it to flow and shaken down more tungsten making it denser. Also cut off the shanks of the end mills and drills to fit more material.
Have to check out the other bat projects now!
12:46, Dan: So that's not standard?
The line should be “she’s heavy but I’d still hit it”...

I recommend cutting in half a TMU-72. It’s the argon bottle for an AIM-9M.

Lead melts at 622 (328)
