    Hi! Weather technician here. Typically when we issue warnings for hail we consider anything greater than .25in to be moderate and .50-.75in and up to be severe criteria. So you started with something thats already pretty scary to me!

      It's worth noting that hail does not just fall once.
      Many hail pieces would hit you, so is more dangerous.

      Ballistics gel isn't a decent analogue for skin covered flesh. Skin has much higher tensile strength than muscle or fat. More importantly, I think the ballistics gel used here wasn't particularly dense (presumably for better jiggling).

    • @Isometrix116
      @Isometrix116 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Mostly because ballistics gel is meant for penetrative rather than blunt damage. There are way to make analogous human skin, but they aren’t really worth it for this experiment. Also ballistics gel gets soft quickly in the heat, which changes how it reacts to damage.

    For reference, 1" hail diameter (size of quarters) is the new criterion for a severe thunderstorm based on impacts from hail. 2-inch hail is classified as "significant" by the Storm Prediction Center.
    And speaking of "Big Chungus", an 8.25-inch diameter "bowling ball" hailstone was dropped on the town of Vivian, South Dakota, from a very powerful supercell, making it the largest hailstone on record. This was recorded on July 22nd, 2010.

    I sorta get the feeling that the pressure of your air cannon was a bit high. Any hail I've seen, no matter how hard the surface, normally bounces and is left interact. The fact that your synthetic hail is being obliterated on contact indicates they're probably hitting with a lot more force than real hail.

    A few years back there was a freak hail storm and the hail was around 1-1.5 inches. A lot of cars were damaged and a local mall was destroyed because the hail broke the sky lights and flooded the mall so it was closed for almost the rest of the year. The hail was so damaging it chipped the pain on my mom's Jeep wrangler which had a coating on it to prevent the paint from chiping when she is off roading, we also found out that it was coming down sideways and had damaged the door to her jeep not just the hood and she had to have them both repaired and the dents pulled out

    Love the video, I can see you put tons of work into this video BUT, I would have liked to see how close to terminal velocity those ice chunks were at. I believe I saw the chronograph set up, the weather geek in me wants to know exactly how close to irl this was. Again loved the video, I'll be back to check out more content.

    A hail stone would move at its terminal velocity.

    • @jebbryant6522

      Not stupid but they do say at one point that they used enough psi to reach terminal velocity

    • @mrpiggy3
      @mrpiggy3 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jebbryant6522 if you push a piece of paper towards the flour you can push it faster than if you dropped it (it’s terminal velocity)
      So if you fired that ice down a skyscraper wouldn’t the ice slow during free fall, because it started at its terminal velocity
      Therefore without calculations the ice is going beyond its terminal velocity
      Therefore more damage than if it was a normal free fall from clouds

    When I was seven in 1997 we had a terrible hail storm in Kansas. My dad, my brother, and myself were trapped in his truck a few blocks from home when it started. I don't know how we made it home because I just remember the visibility being nearly zero because of the size and amount of hail falling. We decided to run from the car to our house when we are parked out front and my brother got nailed in the head by chunk that was softball sized. Now it could've probably been closer to baseball size but the way I remember it being was gigantic, but I was seven. It gave him a concussion and he ended up having to go to the hospital after the storm had passed.

  • @keenanalexander3003

    There was a hailstorm in Denver in 1990 with up to softball size hail...People were stranded on a ride at Six Flags when power failed due the storm. The storm was dropping just golf ball size hail in that area but still caused lots of injury. Nothing too serious but still scary. In Downtown Denver, just half a mile away to the East from the amusement park, the hail was softball size. That would have been absolute carnage had that part of the storm been just a half mile West. Yikes.

  • @bladeRoller
    @bladeRoller 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Problems:
    -I dont see calculations or experiments for terminal velocity on these hail stones.
    -hail is not solid ice. These have a very different density to actual hail. Thus their terminal velocity may be different aswell. Not to mention their ability to concentrate force or deliver energy into the skull exct.

      @Aztesticals 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well smallest size would have to be in the .5in range. If you are staring right into the sky and a piece of hail has formed into a thin pointed shard and it goes right into the ocular cavity. But the odds would be astronomical of even getting a piece of hail at that size to form such a particular shape and fall right when you are looking uo
