This can work without impact. It doesn't slide because the weight of the woodpecker creates a moment which locks it due to the friction, during the oscillation that force is removed and the sleeve can momentarily fall. There are a lot of similar mechanisms that use this locking method such as some wood working clamps, this is how they get coarse adjustment before tightening.
wow, this is really cool and im super glad i found your page. i turn wood on a lathe and would love to try and make some of these simple entertaining toys. youtube needs more videos like this.
For some reason, my toy physics videos went viral in India a couple of years ago and got huge spikes in viewership. Too bad the Indian viewers didn't also like my pool videos. :(
Young man, this woodpecker will work even if the beak or bill doe not touch the pole. When happens when the bird is in the lower position it is held by friction as you so well described, and at that moment the spring is storing energy, so as the bird is raised by the action of the spring, there comes a time when the ring is separated from the pole and so it will fall. This falling will give momentum to the bird as a whole and since it has the additional throw of the spring energy it will come down faster than the ring till the ring till the near lower side and far upper side of the ring touch the pole and friction causes it to stop while the woodpecker proceed to swing storing energy in it. The fast that the bill can touch the pole adds a non-linearity and it is not so easy to analyse, otherwise if the bill does not touch the pole is is fairly easy dynamic equation. I wish all these toys will be used to show the application do materials, science and mathematics and physics and material science. All schools will gain a lot if these automata dynamic toys are show at schools and presented as applied processes of what they learn in class.
This results in the shock force of the column with the beak of the bird, and in this case forcing it to force the parcel to the opposite direction (lower)
This same sort of thing would work with a paper clip and a pencil. It doesn't work all the time, but every once in awhile I get it to work. I loved doing it when I was in second grade.
Obviously, you and many others. The "super slow motion" footage is a little "dated," but the content is still relevant and interesting to people. Cool physics doesn't have an expiration date.
@@DrDaveBilliards well pool is all about physics so i guess it suits you well! I once had an argument over whether pool was physics first geometry second or vice versa. Somebody that doesn't even play regularly thought it was geometry first. I had to explain to him you figure out the geometry after you figure out the physics needed to 1. Make your shot and 2. Get position. It took a physical demonstration before he understood.
I like you way you think, but that would make it a "perpetual motion" machine which is not physically possible. You cannot violate the law of conservation of energy.
Found one Goodwill and we love it! Nice to see how the physics works.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like the vids.
These toys are cool
Agreed.
Great idea! Thanks for posting it.
Hi
This can work without impact. It doesn't slide because the weight of the woodpecker creates a moment which locks it due to the friction, during the oscillation that force is removed and the sleeve can momentarily fall.

… but it wouldn’t be a Woodpecker without the impact. :)
That's why I love SCIENCE. It's very entertaining.

Gravitational potential energy is the main source, but some energy is also put into the spring with the push down at the beginning.
DrDaveBilliards god damn your voice is so annoying
@@evanjessome2311 I bet what you said was sarcasm
This woodpecker was purchased, but you should be able to find springs at a local Ace Hardware store, or online.
FYI, I just add the URL of where it was purchased to the video description.
Amazing toys!
this is my first toy in my life thanks for vedio
Thanks for vid...given me lots of ideas!
Very nice
My(then) 8 yo son saw one of those and scrounged up the stuff to make his own and it works.
All the work you've done for the game of pool and somehow this is your most-watched video!
For some reason, my toy physics videos went viral in India a couple of years ago and got huge spikes in viewership. Too bad the Indian viewers didn't also like my pool videos. :(
@@DrDaveBilliards We do love them too.
@@youraveragegamer3256 Thanks. I only wish all your countrymen agreed. That would be a lot of views!
@@DrDaveBilliards I think physics professors are using your video, at least mine is, so that may be where your views are coming from - us students :)
@@justbemrt I’m glad to hear it. Thanks for the report.
Amazing. Your creations are wonderful. I'm going to try make some of these for my kids.
The toys aren't "my creations," but they are fun and interesting. I hope your kids like them!
DrDaveBilliards you* :)
i need this how much??
Dude, you're analyzing all the fun out of it!
"Fun" to an engineer isn't always fun for everybody else.
I can still hear the sound it makes!

Can u pla share link of any studies?.Case with linear equations.
Wow its amazing ...
Those are awesome toys.
This results in the shock force of the column with the beak of the bird, and in this case forcing it to force the parcel to the opposite direction (lower)
A lot of planning and thought had to go into creating this toy for it to work as well as it does.
Sometimes these sorts of things are discovered by accident and then refined. I don't know the history of this particular toy.
Watching it 10 years later
... nothing wrong with that. Cool physics doesn't have an expiration date.
DrDaveBilliards agreed sir...
Ashwajeet Kamble Me tooo !
reliving the good old days DrDave? :D
Awesome.. cool recommendation
Wow nice
New hype, I'm calling it now
Neat. And now to weaponize this....
Just put thousands of them in the battlefield to distract the opponents as they marvel at them. :)
That's common understanding.
Eu tinha um desses na minha infância! Muito legal!
This same sort of thing would work with a paper clip and a pencil. It doesn't work all the time, but every once in awhile I get it to work. I loved doing it when I was in second grade.
Muito bom mesmo. parabens.
legend says the woodpecker still peckin the pole
awesome.....thanks for sharing....
i like this design
i clicked this bc of youtube algorithm but turns out it's just DrDave
Mitsuo Did you expect a woodpecker on a pole playing pool? :)
@@DrDaveBilliards haha maybe
After ten years, TH-cam recommend this.
It must be a totally awesome video for TH-cam to do this! :)
I'm proud of Indian education after watching his explaination
NICE (: The high-speed looked so meme worthy. XD
Who is watching this in 2018?
Obviously, you and many others. The "super slow motion" footage is a little "dated," but the content is still relevant and interesting to people. Cool physics doesn't have an expiration date.
I want this toy.
We did this in shop class at School.
Extremely intriguing!
This was my childhood toy
Nice way to go down
I played with this toy before 20 years.
I'll see if I can get a video up of it. It's tough to explain lol.
I saw the video and I said it to myself that this video has to be at least a decade old.
Good guess.
DrDaveBilliards 😂😉
I want one!
@NigelLoller
Agreed ... but then it wouldn't be a wood (or wire) "pecker" anymore. :)
Makes sense.
good
Nice job
I knew that your pool physics slow mo camera had to be put to other uses!
I used it for many things in the past. More examples not on TH-cam can be found here:
high-speed-video.colostate.edu/
i'm lost to this bird.i'm out my mind.and i'm here to it.
now that You've perfectly explained this technological breakthrough maybe you can explain the meaning of life.
Tom Satterly The meaning of life is to live, love, and be loved. It’s pretty simple. :)
The meaning of life is to give life a meaning
awesome
I can say I played with this some 15 year back.😂
Explain to me,why Im here
Ayda _najiha you clicked the video
kerana awk sgt cantik😁😁
sebab jodoh kita HAHAHHAHAHHAHAGA
Rasydan Zulkefeli alaa kacau laa😂
Haha senanyer sye geng sajat😂😁
Recommend in 2018 😝
I hope it also gets recommended in 2028. Cool physics toys don't have expiration dates. :)
Great
JAGAN
Works like a load lock
sine wave all the way man!
ok tell me when u get it up!
Bagus👍👍👍
Nice, did you make it?
Gabe Salgado No. I bought it, per the info in the video description above.
Is that a purity ring?
I am looking for the mechanism examples which one could used rubber band instead of spring. anybody help?
Dr Dave where's the billiards?
... in pretty much all of my other videos. In the past, I also did engineering and physics videos.
cool
That's fine and all but how's Dr. Tom's pool game?
Nonexistent.
we used our bajrangbali hanuman .. this is very old method ...
Have u made a toy of that thing
Wow... 👍
Watching it 23 year later
... actually, it is only 10 years old, but I hope you will also watch it 13 years from now. Cool toy physics doesn't have an expiration date.
2020, anyone??
Cool toy physics is timeless.
Man, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find one of these in Brazil. x(
good posting!
Thanks. Check out Parts 2 and 3 also if you haven't seen them yet.
thanks?
So like ummmm what was your channel called before you switched to making billiards videos?
I've always focused on billiards, but in the early years I also did some physics and engineering stuff.
@@DrDaveBilliards well pool is all about physics so i guess it suits you well! I once had an argument over whether pool was physics first geometry second or vice versa.

Ideal tec. Form woodpeaker
nice i like😄😄😄😄😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What if you flip the toy, will it go up ?
I like you way you think, but that would make it a "perpetual motion" machine which is not physically possible. You cannot violate the law of conservation of energy.
Nice
cute bird😍
I have one of those woodpecker things 😂😂
Que Materiales Se utiliza Para Este Proyecto ? Desde Colombia Saludos
Like
lol the woodpecker
Where can I get one ?
How to make this sir plz say
It moves down because vibrations
Wtf Facebook recommended me this video after ten years 2018 😂😂
Videos of toys with cool physics don't have expiration dates!
DrDaveBilliards yeah you are right 😊☺
I think its because of the vibration caused by the wood pecker
Good idea, but I don't think vibration is required to get the observed action.
what do u mean... im intrested
