Honestly the way this was filmed, I genuinely thought the intention was “doing this digitally was too boring, so we’re doing this instead” but to know it was just cause they couldn’t, makes it way funnier and awesome. Like this was way more spontaneous and fun to watch than just some digital screen or app doing it, good on you Nigel 🔥👌

@Chroniclilskip27 huh? From what i read, does saxon REALLY have any use for an atomic trampoline?compared to the huge number of scientists and other researchers that could use this to the benefit of science and technology- i cant say that i dont think It isnt sorta tragic that such a rare piece of scientific equipment be used "for cool points" imo. If he wants cool points ill give him a 3D hologram projector screen or a massive tesla coil to throw lightnight around or something, or a bunch of lsd would be better suited for scoring cool points in college... *cries to self*
@vibaj16 If only it were that simple. not if they lack the equipment. Or the resources. This is the age of information. I have all the academic resources available to me that a post doctoral Ivy League university student has/had, and the dedication & commitment to learning, but i lacked the money to have some bureaucratic institution give me a diploma for learning it & mastering it from them. That doesn't mean I didn't learn and commit myself to growing as a scientist every day for the past 15 years (which I have), it just means that I have a far more difficult time accessing the lab equipment to "do it myself". I would have done this myself years ago if i could afford a 20k plasma smelting setup, but I can't. Niles videos should be proof enough that the informational resources are freely available to those determined enough to acquire it; however, the same doesn't go for the lab equipment itself. Not everybody fits into the same box, nor should they. Chalking it up to "scientists can make it themselves" is an assumption that the lab is what makes a scientist and not the mind. There's a very big difference between knowing how to make something and having the privilege of being able to apply that knowledge in practice. You dont need to have attended MIT to be a scientist any more than you need to have attended Juliard to be an artist, writer, etc.. both require extreme dedication, aptitude, knowledge, etc. The only difference is that high-tech lab equipment costs a hell of a lot more than a pen and paper. Hence why it would be really nice to see those that are fortunate enough to have access to this equipment to consider maybe giving it away to people who have specific use cases in mind for it, given that we're not talking about a novelty here. This is something that has the potential to kill somebody if mishandled, and people using things like this "to score cool points" are the exact reason that the rest of us aren't able to buy them anymore. So yeah, it's upsetting to me to see it be used for something so trivial. Its not like I'm demanding a redraw here, frankly I am shocked to see one of these given away at all. 55k emails is a lot and he wanted to be fair, i get it 100%. As that person who lost sleep over this giveaway, I hope that Saxon will show this the respect it deserves and not treat it like it's a toy to show off
damn guys i’d have solved it for you digital in a minute with a few lines of code, but this is way, waaaaaay more fun than that. you made the right choice.
@@nathanbegel4505 because ignoring air resistance doesn't get rid of it. The bounces would be higher without air resistance. Even if it was only marginally higher. Physicists ignore air resistance because they are lazy.
Congrats Saxon! And Nigel, just for future reference, you can put all the emails in a column of a spreadsheet, use a random number generator to pick a number between 1 and 55k, and then find the email on the row with the number it produces. I think there might even be webapps that do this for you.
It might be best I don't have any. I'd probably try to build them into a spinning top, or a cascading spiral sounds fun. Regular glass has electric resistance, but what happens to that glass under current? Does it deflect rays differently?
Metallic glass ball bearing, in theory, would bounce more, and would be fun for you to make new content with. Also, it might be impossible to make, so it makes me want it more...
There's probably lots of programs that could choose but you could also write a short python script that picks a number between 1 to however many pages and another number between 1 and 100. Would be like maybe 30 lines of code? And would be simple enough an AI could write it if you wanted. Crude but would work if you ever do another giveaway!
Mr NileRed, I'd like to see the base of the atomic trampoline vibrate just a bit thus imparting kinetics into the system... Can you get the ball the continue bouncing consistently long as the vibration persists?

The difference between an ordinary draw and one made by Nile Red is like the difference between an ordinary piece of metal and a nuclear trampoline.

Wow your gorges
I aooreciate the transparency and thoughtfulness in this giveaway pick!
Only on a Nile video would you see a title like this.
Couldn't do it digitally - proceeds to catch a number with his digits.
This is honestly better than a mysterious random number generator.
Love this. Great way to add entropy into the system.
That was an oddly wholesome way to pick a giveaway winner.
How’s the berylliosis?

Favorite giveaway ever. Absolutely hilarious way to choose too. I hope any other giveaways you do will look like this lol
Congratulations Saxon ! ❤️ have fun with it ! DONT BREAK IT !😂
Congrats to the winner. Cant wait for the anti-matter mol giveaway.

You could have done all this in 5 mins in Excel, I'm glad you did it this way. Congrats Saxon, now you have wheels of steel... well, a "wheel".
Now that is about as random as it gets. Nice way you thought of.
me knowing damn well i didnt enter when he said email and still watching
I also won! A good time watching atomic trampoline video!
I am envious
Congratulations Saxon guy

What a fun and creative way to find the winner :D
hope the winner appreciates the prize!
You couldn’t figure out how to do it digitally, so you do it in the most randomized was possible😅.
Not gonna lie, less deterministic than digital pseudo-random

Well, I wouldn't have watched this video if you did it digitally, so good job, as usual.
You should try to test it in a vacuum so you can see if the material is almost perfectly elastic.
Why should we bother when we can just ignore air resistance

It might be best I don't have any. I'd probably try to build them into a spinning top, or a cascading spiral sounds fun. Regular glass has electric resistance, but what happens to that glass under current? Does it deflect rays differently?
That's definitely a process, and that makes it scientific! Probably!
Tbf this is a nice creative way to choose a winner compared to the "1 and off" random number generator digitally.
wow, the most efficient way to select a giveaway winner
I definitely prefer this way but "hey Google pick a number from 1 to 55000"
you are the best!
Thanks to Canada!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is more exciting than digitally
The chance of winning is 0.0018% BTW so don't feel bad
Now it's up to Saxon to jump right it and respond back to Nigel.
Was fun to watch! :)
This is genuinely far more random than a digital method
All lotteries should be done this way. Congrats #95 you should get it psa graded
At this point I’m not even mad that I lost the raffle. This was equally as entertaining as winning the atomic trampoline
couldve just looked up a random number generator and set the ranges, but this was so much better
