Explosive Bat in Slow Motion Ft. Stuff Made Here - Smarter Every Day 245 - Summary

Summary

The conversation revolves around the attempt to break the record for the longest home run in baseball. The host, Destin, and a guest, Shane from the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, are collaborating to test Shane's new powder-driven baseball bat.

Shane's bat uses powder cartridges that ignite when the baseball hits them, propelling the ball out of the bat. The bat is designed to be held in the hands, unlike the Mad Batter, which is a device that spins baseball bats super fast. The bat's design is different from the Mad Batter, and it's not as terrifying.

The two are using a high-speed camera to investigate the collision mechanics of Shane's new bat. They are testing the bat with one, two, three, and four cartridges, as they believe stuff might start breaking at three and four. They are also using body armor for safety.

The bat's design allows it to decelerate and the ball to accelerate, creating a collision system. The paddle stops accelerating, and the ball starts to fly. The paddle stops pushing, and the ball is launched. They are also considering the possibility of an impedance mismatch, where the time it takes to compress the squishy ball and the rigid paddle leads to a less efficient elastic collision.

They are also considering the possibility of the ball going slower if there is more fire due to the increased number of charges. They believe that the optimum charge load for the bat is somewhere around three and a half cartridges.

Shane's method for not losing the paddle that flies out of the bat is to tie it to a bucket with some Kevlar string. They are also considering the possibility of breaking the record in an even more epic way, by combining forces with Destin.

The new goal is to hit the ball 1,000 feet. They are also considering the possibility of combining forces with Destin to figure out how to break the record. They are also considering the possibility of combining forces with Destin to figure out how to break the record.

In the end, they encourage viewers to subscribe to Shane's YouTube channel, Stuff Made Here, and to consider the possibility of breaking the record in an even more epic way.
