Fun
Pretty cool. Only thing I see problematic is how much energy is lost by the ‘ground’ plate being able to lift, though it remains a constant across all projectile masses. If it were relatively static like actual ground, much more of the energy from the projectile would be delivered to the walls.
That honestly was a great video. I watched the whole thing and was pretty excited.
No depleted uranium ball?
Cool video it’s interesting to watch
Thought it was nearly over and then came the OCTA-WALL, I wasn’t ready.
Cool little experiment that reminds me I should get some Lego.
After the steel ball I expected a lead ball but no, my man straight pulls out the armor piercing tungsten ball. Impressive.
Hrm. Why are the heavier balls making more of an impact? They’re being launched the same way by the same rubber band which has the same amount of force each time. If the rubber band can impart X force to a ball, to get to a certain momentum, wouldn’t that mean that the heavier balls would simply be getting less acceleration so that momentum is conserved?
Why is the same force of the same rubber band turning into more force for the heavier balls than the lighter ones? Is the air resistance so impactful over such a short distance, for such a small and comparatively aerodynamic object?
That’s was awesome!
I don’t understand why they don’t put weapons like this in Lego sets. I’ve always wanted a weapon to destroy Lego castles, but I had to just throw the bricks with my hand.
This was way more engaging than it had any right to be
I don’t understand this. The energy in the system is limited to the elastic potential energy of the rubber band in the cannon, which is constant…. So how is it that changing the mass of the projectile is having this much of an effect? Total kinetic energy should remain constant. If the ball is twice as heavy, it will get launched at 1/4 the speed, as per Ee = Ek = 1/2m*v²… So why does the heavier ball do more damage?
The slow motion shots were excellent. Great video.
Disappointed there wasn’t a fireball.
Do this with a rigid base and the results would be quite different.
This is the longest, dumbest, coolest, smartest video I have ever watched all the way through on the Reddit front page.
Wouldn’t this be more of a **ball**ista?
NGL I first thought they were going to shoot an actual cannon ball through a lego wall. That sounds interesting as hell
Bro… when there kept being more ball… didn’t even know that many balls existed
Why is this so goddamn fascinating? I was holding my breath at one point. Fuck.
This reminds me of the game Besiged.
Lego guy had a bad day at the office.
I love how thorough this is.
Was waiting for actual brick walls. Disappointed.
how many newtons of force to remove one lego from it’s slot?
My favorite part is that it just starts, no five min intro asking me to subscribe, no cut scenes and wacky images narrating, just what we all wanted to see.
Completely useless but thoroughly entertaining experiment. Thanks for 5 minutes of fun👍
Neat.
