    Hi PeEpS! I'm still sane. How are you all? I wanted to say, all of this (save for the parts at home with my poor roommates who I keep scaring with the very loud ping-pong cannon) was filmed before stay-at-home orders. I'm currently, self-distancing in my room with lots of soda cans with holes in them. Stay safe and stay home! -D

    Car design is genius. If you impact something with your wheel, the tire is designed to give out first. Then the wheel, followed by the lower suspension arm. Axles are designed to just snap.
    After all of these parts have done their job and given in to the impact, then it's time for the frame and subframe to do some more absorbing of the impact.
    Crumple zones are basically weak points places across the front and rear frame to bend/deform in certain ways.

    "I drive a giant SUV so that I'm safer." Thereby making the roads LESS safe for EVERYONE ELSE. And the more giant SUVs around, the more it levels back out again to "well now you're all equally unsafe". Except now you have much higher centers of gravity, vehicles that are harder to control, vehicles that do much more damage to anything else that they hit, make it harder to see anything else on the road, that are literally harder to drive and park due to their size, and that are wasting many more resources both in manufacturing and in fueling. Also, putting more wear on the roads.
    Don't drive SUVs. And if you absolutely need the capacity, pick a smaller, less massive one.

    • @mittfh
      @mittfh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      In the UK (which, admittedly, is a relatively small island), fuel economy is often a big driver of vehicle sales, given petrol (gas) costs over £1/litre and diesel varies from the same price to 10p/litre more expensive.
      Thus smaller cars tend to be more in abundance than bigger cars - plus the bigger SUVs (or Chelsea Tractors as they're sometimes called derogatorily) can only just squeeze into the standard parking space, leaving little room for the occupants to get out if the adjacent spaces are occupied.
      Added onto which, even tiny cars often have 5 star ratings in the Euro-NCAP crash safety tests, due to very efficient use of crumple zones in the engine compartment, a more rigid passenger compartment (including side impact protection beams in the doors), airbags everywhere and seat belt pre-tensioners (which also minimise whiplash).

      If you need capacity, drive a mini van. People don't like them because "they're not cool", but they have twice as much capacity as any SUV and are far more comfortable. The only thing that compares is a full sized pickup truck with a crew cab (a new one, where the back seats are huge) and a fully covered bed (or the luxury SUVs like Cadillac and Lincoln make which are basically just pick ups). The modern SUV is just a clunky, heavy, fuel inefficient car with AWD (sometimes 4WD).

    NightHawkInLight improved upon the rig by using disposable plastic cups with an o-ring instead of foil or film for the destructible end cap. Might want to look through his videos for it. Cups are available at any convenience store and getting the vacuum cannon ready is a heck of a lot faster. (Like less than a minute to jam on the plastic cup vs. whatever time it takes to smooth out and avoid tearing while stretching a cover over the end.) Just thought I'd put that out there for anyone interested in this kind of thing.

    If you have a vacuum reservoir you can launch more massive projectiles because as any air passes the projectile the vacuum continues to be pulled by the reservoir. I did a 3d printed projectile and it did a lot of damage. So, pull the vacuum with a few barbed fittings at the exit end into a 4" PVC pipe reservoir which is attached to the vacuum pump.

    12:21 please explain what effects along the wall you’re talking about! I’m so curious... because you’re not talking about boundary layer stuff right? Bc vacuum?

    • @vermash
      @vermash 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm curious as well! I am thinking it's the little amount of air gushing past the ball (while the ball is being pushed and accelerated) but also limited by the choke velocity at the annular gap between the ball and the wall whilst in motion. For this reason lower clearance can help speed up the ball more as well as have very little air ahead of it in the end that is compressed (and loses energy) between the mylar and the ball. Interesting would be to see how would a half cut ping pong ball perform.

    Just a few fun facts as a table tennis player: since 2014/2015 we stopped using celluloid balls. Instead, now the balls are made of plastic with a diameter of at least 40 mm (hence they are referred to as 40+). Also, the majority are now seamless which means they got rid of the weak point where the two halves would converge. The grading of the ball also matters. If you're using a 3 star ball which is much rounder than, let's say a 1 star (training ball), you get more stability, spin and speed due to less friction. The brand matters too - nitakku balls feel heavier than others, for insntace.
    I doubt this will trigger an update for the video:)) but I hope you enjoyed the quick fun facts.

  • @paulsperbeck617
    @paulsperbeck617 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    A few years ago I was involved with similar experiment, experiment always sounds better to describe fun destructive behavior, at our local makerspace.
    We found out that there was a large diminishing return from lengthening the cannon. Since the ping pong ball is not a perfect fit, at some length enough air leaks aroung the ball to stop it.
    What made a huge difference was popping the Mylar burst disk with air pressure rather than puncturing it. 450 Kph translates to my english ballistic frame of reference to about 410 fps. With the air we had more than twice that or about 1000 fps measured with a ballistic chronograph. If you ever move to 2.0 of the ping pong ball antics that might be fun.

    Great to see Col John Paul Stapp mentioned!
    If you want to see the horrific effects of explosive decompression, google "Byford Dolphin." A "diving bell" accident were they went from 9 atmospheres to 1 in an instant. Pics are available if you look hard enough, but the written description is gruesome enough. The death scene from the Bond film "The Living Daylights" appears to be based on that accident (the pressure change matches).

    A question won't leave me. Is the sound only the vaccum being filled? Or is a portion of it the ping pong ball bursting?
    Since it is bound to be compressed some before it snaps, would the air inside of it be pressured enough to make a sound as well as the ball breaks?

    @2:37 the can starts to deform before the ball hits it. Is this from the air compressed between the ball and can?

    I have a question that's always bugged me.... at 05:00.... If the Fiat is going forwards at 70kph, then backwards at 70+kph, is there a moment when it is stationary? ie. At the moment it switches from going forwards to backwards? If so, and the semi is "attached" to it.....are they both stationary for a split second? I can only assume that it is possible to go from 70 forwards to 70 backwards instantly, which also blows my mind!!
