Something is wrong here with the explanation of gyroscopic precision making the boomerang turn. When you spin the wheel forward (clockwise) it turns to the left as seen in the video. Spin it backwards (counterclockwise) and it will spin to the right. Here is where I found an issue. Both right and left handed boomerangs are throw forward in a clockwise direction yet the left handed boomerang flies to the right. Why???
From what I understand both half of the boomerang or blades, act like the wing on an airplane. I may be understanding wrong, but I think like a plane wing the bottom will be flat on one side. So the right hand boomerang when held upright like when getting ready to throw it, will have a flat right side. And the left hand boomerang will have the left hand side flat. The lift is causing the Boomerang to rise to the non flat side.
But don't quote me, when I was a kid me and my dad built one based off the description in a book with no pictures I found in my grandpa's bookshelf. Turns out based on multiple TH-cam videos we built it wrong and had the leading edges facing each other. Explains why it never worked right.
@@kylelambert1672 You are correct but gyroscopic precision would cancel it out. Basically it pokes a hole in the theory of what makes a boomerang turn in flight. When I first started building boomerangs I was told this by a few long time builders. Some even wrote books about it. None yet have explained the left handed boomerang turning to the right. This leads me to believe that gyroscopic precision is not what makes the boomerang actually turn in flight but has way more to do with the actual air foils on the wings as you stated.
@@kylelambert1672 Correct my friend. My guess is that it did not want to turn or lift? My first boomerang was made out of a piece of sheet rock lol. I was around 9 years old and knew nothing about them except for the basic shape lol. One throw as it wobbled through the air, hit the ground and snapped in half. That was in 1979.
It's not that you've shaped only one side, it's that the advancing blade has more airspeed and lift at 90 degrees to the direction of flight because rotational airspeed and forward velocity airspeed combine together. Opposite on the retreating blade of course.This differential in lift creates a force which through gyroscopic precession, causes the boomerang to pitch instead of roll. Then, when you throw the boomerang at a banked angle the pitching becomes a turning tendency. If you throw a boomerang perfectly horizontal it pitches straight up which illustrates the forces involved. I expect more from a professor. ( Not really) It took me years to figure this all out because of "experts" that repeated completely absurd theories that fall apart under the slightest scrutiny. .
Funny. Just a day ago I found Phat Planet by Leftfield on Spotify and I really like it. And then when I got a strong desire to see large boomerangs thrown around I find that recognizable beat appears in the first video I find on throwing large boomerangs. 4:10 Small coincidences like that are always amusing.
why didnt they just get an Olympic discus or hammer thrower to launch it? like it would save them alot of time and they would probs get a better result
So for the record, does a human have to be able to throw it? Because you could obviously create a much bigger one given that the physics & aerodynamics wouldn't change much, but the energy required to put it in motion would.

MadMonkey572 yeh
MadMonkey572 hahaha was just thinking that till I saw this comment
James May doesnt have a world record for biggest boomerang....
yeah, James May has a Rolls Royce. What a looser.
Looks like they share a shirt.
*4:26** best high five ever*
Potatoge XD
he went in for the hug on both of them lol
I declare shenanigans. Should have to return to call it a return.
In Australia, we chuck a 10ft boomerang to catch our breakfast every morning. Pfft!!!
Not just catch it, but it also returns the meal served on a plate and ready to eat.

they have great background music choice. it really made the event that much more enjoyable
Angel Cedillo stranger things
colton donisthorpe its just synth lol, everyone saying anything with synths is stranger things

It's darude sandstorm
1:30 (0__o)
i think just that one part was more amazing then the giant boomerang
4:25 Its the little things in life. :)
a world record isnt a little thing....how many you got?
My original comment was meant to be endearing. Dont worry guy, I am sure they will let you suck them off, despite you nitpicking at my comment.

I've never had a boomerang come back, Ever lol
Either you're throwing it wrong or it's not shaped properly
JSCRILLA253 I have
@@matthewtones118 or the boomerang just doesn’t like him
Love the Grimes "Genesis" playing at 3:35
Props for them putting Grimes in this video.
i was gonna say... is that grimes????? glad to know someone else noticed.
lol im american. love grimes.
look up genesis n d

Cool
"Here is Marty trying to smash.........a boomerang world record"😆😆😂
That old lady almost looks like a guy
I thought she was one
Ture
Wait, that's a woman?

Hiraikotsu~~ if you get me, high five!!
try the "discus launch" technique... it will give it wayyy more speed
They look like top gear impersonators
Why do they have music from tv commercials?
The music at 4:24 is "Punching in a Dream" by the Naked and Famous. Thank you
Video starts at 3:40
Lux Allein thanks
Venus thanks
why does his hat have wine bottle corks hanging from it...
jo jim
It's an akubra, duh.
It's to keep Aussie flies from laying eggs in your mouth
metal
I think they're to keep flies away from you face. That's my best guess.
Why doesn't your hat have wine corks hanging from it?
@@notatroll2773 Damn it, clicked in just to say that myself.
I like the looks of that black boomerang because it looked to be (and was) a real winner
I forgot my boomerang joke, Oh wait... it's coming back
because of Adam's youth I knew he was stronger.
nice choice of music for the end
I feel like you should have to catch it for it to count as a world record
gyroscopic procession, ahy?
Hammer thrower would own this record..
How does it not hit them in the face when they throw it?
Michael Rotherham it rotates very slowly
They have a corona mask that stops everything including viruses and Boomerangs
The best part was the awkward handshake/high-five/hug or whatever it was they gave each other after they succeeded!!...
why didnt they just get an Olympic discus or hammer thrower to launch it? like it would save them alot of time and they would probs get a better result
Imagine if this was an old weapon that was acutally used in battle
Sokka wants to know your location
So when u ride a bike if your standing still u will fall over but when u move u stay up right!!!
Looks like something out of Monster Hunter
anyone else thinks that it looks like the frame of a house?
Who is robert plant?
why dey playing Django Django
someone knows the name of the song that sounds in the second 2:29
Loving the music choice tho
What's the smallest boomerang
i knew a joke about a boomerang but I forgot it.....
I'm sure it'll come back to me
Thought he was going to say "now we're going to go supersayan"
Awesome
I love that ❤😊
It doesn't really count without a catch - right?
The heat 🔥
But does it Djent?
Tommy Dalo yes
grimes?
Is that James May on the right at 4:42?
New weapon type in dark souls 4
"Dr. Hugh Hunt."
That's 2nd in best Australian names *only* to Crocodile Dundee.
that guy at the end lol
3:45 is when they throw it.
Starts at 4:50
Why does he have corks on his hat?
I thought deadpool was bullshitting about the hat.
It's a flying engineer's compass!
What I would like to see is a boomerang hit a rabbit sized target at a distance and if missed come back.
good shit lads, lets keep it up

Like how they have an American length measurement and then a metric weight measurement.
Arthur Weasley crafts boomerangs
one of the weapons planned for monster hunter.imagine killing dragons with boomerangs lol
this guy sounds like game theory
if Jeremy Clarkson James may and Richard Hammond had a baby , its deff this guy.
Why the boomerang is in banana shape?
What fun!
Dude looks like mark twain lol
Or Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin.
*TO THE PETERANG!*
Didn't know Mr. Weasley was into boomerangs.
lol thats awesome
guys whats the starting song?
can somebody tell me the name of the song at 3:13?
Should've had Sango throw it. HIRAIKOTSU!!!!!
rikkunaify that's what brong me here. yo to see if it was possible, an what do you know lol.
Pretty english with the dark cloudly grey sky
I would have done the special discus spin
thats a W
Put rocket motors on the ends of it and fire them at the release
Caster Troy And in today's news, man gets neck broken by boomerang.
Launching it = success
Catching it = fail
song at 3:45
"genesis" - grimes
Good music
He brought in a professional. Houge K.Hunt.
*SAIL*
Did he say "Hugh Hunt" 😂😂😂
that dude looks like Mr. Weasley
The gyro procession has nothing to do with why he shapes the wings. He shapes the wings to produce lift.
At least if the boomerang part of it fails the avengers can use it as the A in their name.
that's cool
3:35
I know the song. I'm not gonna tell anyone. Just a hint; The band starts with the letter 'G.'
I Killed The Legend27 It's killing me!! I know it too but I can't remember
Garrett Saunders Very easy.
Grimes - Genesis
I Killed The Legend27 green day lol
2x as big = 8x heavier? Maybe in Australia.
Twice as long, twice as wide, twice as tall. We live in three dimensions. 2x2x2=8
At 4:10 the theme song to Beast Machines starts playing.....uhh?
You know the first boomerang wasn't suppose to came back fun fact 👌
this is how big bird was hunted in aincient times
We need a put thrower to try and throw this
This is the most Australian thing I've ever seen
The video was shot in UK, how is it related to Australia?
Hiraikotsu!
He reminds me of Bilbo Baggins
THATS GRIMES! thats grimes song in the backgroung, oblivion
Have the large boomerang be able to come back to you.
song at 4:25?
Wolf Gang - Lions in Cages
It's actually The Naked and Famous - Punching in a Dream
