    Isn’t engineering fun? Jeremy Fielding and I had a blast with the mad batter, and it looks like you guys had fun with the batcopter! The sounds of that thing brought back terrifying memories. Congratulations guys! May God continue to bless your efforts.
    P.S. Stay safe and pile some dirt up in front of that container!

    The Batcopter was built to be able to hit all sorts of stuff which is why it’s so big!
    Yes we wanted to hit a ball farther than Destin but that was only the Batcopter’s first challenge. We wanted to make a versatile machine that could also hit larger/heavier balls like basketballs, soccer balls etc really far so we can do even harder challenges. This is why in the engineers simulations it shows those bigger balls and not baseballs.
    Lots more cool stuff coming from the Batcopter everyone, how good!

    I've been working in the mechanical design/engineering/manufacturing field for over 15 years, including time spent in aerospace around US military weapons components, and I have never heard anything like the sound that the Batcopter makes when it connects. In context that is one of the most terrifying noises I have ever heard a machine make.

      Yeah, theres got to be some sort of ruleset, otherwise you could just do any stupid thing that hits a ball and call it a home run. Not only did Destin do it with legal bats, but he also did it in a regulation field too, not that that makes TOO much difference, but it is what it is. Regulation bats from home base on a regulation field, vs... some crazy weird metal rod helicopter looking thing in a backwoods clearing. *shrug*

      I would say the ball hit at a 1000 rpm bat would be far to expensive to do. The impact at that speed would destroy the bat, the ball probably would be damaged as well. And with the ball damaged hang time would be limited, so I would say a ball smacked at a 1000 rpm would go 3 80 and 424 meters. As on paper it could go 500 meter.

      I love thinking about that too, think about the elastic reaction that would occur if they used a pitching machine at even 50mph in addition to bats or tubes spinning at such a insane rate of speed. It's crazy to think how much more velocity they can achieve by adding in some velocity on the other end. At that point we would have to consider even the structural integrity of the ball as I am sure the covers strings inside the baseball would begin to tear and split with such an intense elastic reaction. I'm honestly surprised they didn't have the covers come off a few of the baseballs they used in this videos already without having added velocity on the other end.

    Isn't it crazy that there have been some mlb players that have homeruns longer than the distance at 8:35?

    Never noticed this same thing with a MLB home run, but you're getting the baseballs spinning so fast they're literally RISING after they leave the bat. That's absolutely incredible. One of the coolest things I've ever seen.

    • @filanfyretracker
      @filanfyretracker 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I strongly suspect its because these balls did not have any existing motion on them before hit, where as pitched baseballs have all sorts of motions on them depending on what the pitcher was pitching. combined with the often odd wind patterns of a ballpark.

      Yeah, some crazy custom metal tube/rod thing made to look crazily like a helicopter, in a backwoods clearing... vs regulation bats from home base on a regulation field. My bet is that regardless of how far these guys knocked a ball, its A: not considered a home run... and B: wont qualify against destins. This is pretty neat though, but i really hate when people try to piggy back something and say its one thing, when its really not. =T
