How Silk Can Cut Through A Coconut
We have seen videos where people have used an angle grinder and paper to cut through different materials, so we want to see if we can something similar with something softer. Today we will take silk, which is known for being very soft, and seeing if we can make it cut through PVC pipe and produce.

Use an actual floppy disc removed from its casing, a CD, and maybe aluminium foil cut into a circle :D
A CD will explode at the speed an angle grinder spins.
Try duct tape :D
@@xavieronasis5361 Slow mo guys had to spin a CD at 23 000 RPM for it to shatter, where an angle grinder spins at around 10 000 RPM. And if you use a DVD you could spin it at around 32 000 RPM before it shatters
@@xavieronasis5361 A CD wont explode at the speed of an angle grinder, the slo mo guys had to spin it much faster
@@shepardpolska lol my bad, didnt relply until after i had watched the vid, read my mind
Ideas for blades: - screen from screen doors - glass or dinner plate - thin piece of wood - orange peeling or other produce - playing cards - plastic bags - cd / dvd
Here's some more: - Clay/ceramic - stale bread - ice? - resin - MDF (similar to the thin piece of wood) - nougat? - hard candy
couple more - leather (differing grades of) - carbon fiber - neoprene - crisp (chips) packets nowadays come with a foil plastic combo, which could be interesting.
Probably try some Kevlar
dvd/cd Yes
They should make one with wood and use it on wood and see if they can start a friction fire 🔥
"if fast, paper can cut stuff" me with a paper cut from just tapping a corner: *am I a joke to you?*

It’s called a paper cut I think

Hey, first time Callie doesn't like lighting something on fire.
They did light the silk.
@@sonyawhitacre9356 yeah but they didnt say that they didnt. They said calli didnt wanna do it
Callie what happened to you? Youre downgrading
I wonder if they had burned the edges if it would have done better
@Mobin 10 That's silk... Not paper
Here is something my dad told me that I want proven: twizzlers don’t melt even in a bronze furnace (that was his old job). I also saw that you shouldn’t microwave them so boom twizzler episode. Also can you deep fry it?
Haha that would be so cool
Yeah! I'd also like to see them try to burn Twizzlers. I bet they don't but I still want to see.
Corn starch, sugar, and red dye. There's in really no flavor in the original twizzlers, just the placebo of a vague "red" flavor.

I feel like cds would just be like the blade and cut right through but the other ones are great
@Drxpxs r.i.p.
they should do this with micarda
Why don't they try a wooden blade.
Could you guys run different liquids through a coffee maker? I’ve always wondered what almond milk would do... :)
I've used a coffee maker to make ramen. put noodles and flavor powder in the coffee pot, run water through the machine.
What about petrol?
Ziero that’s dinner! 👍
Cody wilcutt I don’t think they would be able to drink that, but it would be fun 😂
They should try a regular one and a Keurig machine
We’re all supporting you guys and will continue to. Do miss Grant.
Yall need to do a video with the slomo guys! That would be awesome
Generally speaking anything can cut, as long as it’s going fast enough
Does that mean I can cut my underwear without touching the outside?
Does that include dihydrogen monoxide?
Facts
Rather "burn" things, going fast enough....
So your saying a pineapple can cut anything
Everyone: Silk is soft Nate: Lets cut things with it. Cali: I want to burn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎 TKOR if you see this please see what happens if you freeze dry cheese or vegetables!

6:07 Me stopping the video and Googling "Floppy disk or CD as angle grinder"
try using the wood that sinks, can't remember what the name of it was though
2:00 They cut those circles of paper with such precision and focus lmao the look on their faces
Nate: its a floppy disk Everybody: rolls their eyes
hahaahahahahahah XD
They should do an actual floppy disc
Yea they should try the memory disc
didnt know you spoke for everyone oh right you dont
LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🙃
Ah that floppy disk pun, gotta love those things, they're part of pc history.
nate acting as a lunch lady: ANYONE WANT SOME SILK COOKED COCONUT?
More ideas for blades: Aluminium foil Different plastics eg ABS, PET etc sandpaper Graphite Carbon fibre
Epoxy resin, 3d printed parts, glass
Yes I’d like to see aluminum foil or sandpaper
glass could be to dangerous
yes pls
Sandpaper discs is actually a thing. You have a rubber backing pad, and then the sandpaper works as a grinding disc. I much prefer them over flap discs, better control with the paper.
I wonder if we could make "survival" saw blades Like leaves and bone glue
Serahbellite Bone glue??
Holowaty, some glue is made from bones
Do string
I rarely truly "laugh out loud", watching KZhead. Flying silk fibers and the look on her face; thank you for the interesting and amusing video. On a different note; do floppy disks really need explanation? I remember when they were the newest thing and SO much better than floppy disks...has it been that long already? *feeling old and not yet 40*
3:18 So your saying that rock is better than paper in rock paper scissors ?

Nate: brushy brushy brushy Callie:blalalallslsksk btw sorry if I spelled your name wrong
You should try and use glass to cut a Dragon fruit. You guys are awesome and my favorite youtubers
Burn the edges of the silk discs, that finishes the edges so it doesn’t fray. Or you can use fray check glue, or serge the edges. That will fix the “shredding” problem
Wood: who are you? Paper: I’m you, but stronger
True
Noni?
If it doesn't disintegrate on start up, Styrofoam would be interesting.

Underappreciated comment
That's funny they're actually explaining what a floppy disk is
feel old... They also explained what a cd... I still remember debating with my mom to get a dvd reader...
They’re exposing for the new generation
"Like your save file icon" The fact that they have to explain... I am 19 but I feel old now
Even i know what a floppy disc is
@@matekovacs2696 we still have working floppy disks at home... and i am about to turn 20...
Hey y’all should try using a cd 💿 as a blade. That would be interesting 🤔.
If the angle grinder went to fast I think the CD what just break apart
Jesse Lo it would. Watch the slow mo guys video
It'd break from the speed
Yeah it would break
Use the motor from a cd drive
Wool felt vs Synthetic felt! Also, I know you said no woven cloth, but I'm interested in how burlap, as pretty much the exact opposite of silk, would compare.
I missed The King of Random, thank you two for curing that. Now I no longer wonder what happened to it. Talk about living on the laurels of the channels originator.
*Everybody gangsta until you get a massive paper cut with this*
Me: W A T E R B L A D E My brain: uhhh that ain’t gonna work Me: IT WILL IF IT’S ICE
Amen but I think a blade of plastic or glass clear plastic
Me, an intellectual (?): water jet
Striker YES
GIZMO D1V1NE ON IOS YT yes
Won’t it then become an ice blade?
May I suggest you use felt, fleece, and leather, for the same experiment? I would also like to see this done with EVA foam sheets.
As someone who went through a class for sewing and things like that mas needs sheers
How about a can lid for a blade? Or if that seems too simple, perhaps some heavy duty foil? Similar to paper, but also super different. Might be interesting to see what different metals do at that speed... EDIT: Possibly a blade made of wewd?
I see your a men of culture as well
Yeah i was thinking foil too... I can't think of anything thin that's not woven and can withstand some heat/friction... plastic will probably melt and not cut. Maybe some big leaf? a thin sheet of scrap metal?
Hunter Berwick a can kid would definitely work

Ive been commenting this for years try replacing it with a vinyl record
“Mah Lungs” ~Nate
Me: Jolly rancher blade Them: Not candy that's just gonna break Me: Says you
the difference is, candy will shatter, silk is flexible. Silk wont shatter lol
Actually I think your on to something. JR's are a little more flexible that some hard rock sugar candies. So I'm thinking t-shirt cotton (maybe with the TKOR logo on it), and infuse it with melted JR's. Almost like fiberglass, but cotton and Jolly Ranchers. Gotta make sure to fully infuse it though. Might need a vacuum chamber to get all of the air out.
Shayne Waldron maybe cotton candy...
@@glytchmeister9856 I think Cotton candy is too Aerated for it to work
He should do leather
Do a ramen blade. U fixed the sink and stuff so we know its strong, but how strong?
Yes, agreed. Also maybe some other materials like tinfoil
Yaaaaas
👍
It just depends on how much superglue they use. If it’s a lot of superglue, it’s just the same as the silk and superglue, plastic.
Its just gonna fall apart bruh
I'm curious if hair can cut anything if it spins fast enough
a single strand of hair can hold 50kg and a bunch can hold 15 tons so honestly i wouldnt be surprised
Have you ever tried making a blade with hard sugar? Thinking of the breakaway window glass stuff
The king of random: reality can be wat ever I want
*what
Joe _ it’s spelled like that on purpose
so finally we hit that point in history when the need to explain what a floppy disk is arise... what a time to be alive
Does anyone actually not know?
@@kittenmimi5326 yeah. I had to explain it at college to people 2 years younger than myself
Obselete tech fizzles out and gets forgotten.
I still have an 8" floppy in the box of stuff I used to use as props to teach an intro to computing class... along with a reel of 9-track tape and a wad of used punch cards... Despite this, I still cannot lay claim to actually having seen a live T-Rex with my own eyes (just a few mammoths)...
I kinda thought they might be too young to know about floppy disc... Lol
You guys should try using a beer bottle cap!! I saw it on tiktok but he only cut plastic and I'm wondering what else you can cut with it.
New intro every day
Tkor: leave a comment below of what you want to see made into a blade! Me: SKITTLES AND CARAMEL!!!! Tkor 2 seconds later: NO CANDY
i’ve always wanted to do stuff like this but i’ll blow up my house with an apple
Same tbh
🤣🤣 Same
lol made my day
Hi I have been following TKOR for a long time and I want to know if it will cut wotter bag as well
okay get Elmers glue and kinda pour it out on like silicone until it’s the size of a blade let it completely dry and sand it to be smooth enough and use that
What about Kevlar? That's woven, but it's also supposed to be really strong.
Harry Potter This NEEDS to happen!
I second this motion.
I like this one
What makes Kevlar so strong is in part the epoxy that holds the cloth together. The threads are strong on their own, but it needs the epoxy to hold it in one piece.
@@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith did you really need to search up what Kevlar is made of
2:00 When Arts and Crafts gets intense.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL that’s me, trying to get it as perfect as possible 🤣🤣🤣
try coloring paper and putting it on that spinning tool It might work. Also is it true that if you "draw" on a banana peel then It turns brown?
One of my takeaways is that ventilation is a wonderful thing.
A paper cut from this would be in a different league 😂
It's just 150 paper cuts per second :D

I would like to see if a CD can cute through things on an angle grinder
i think the grinder would cause the CD to shatter just from turning it on. Maybe, try gluing a few together?
Angle grinders and CDs remind me of each other
Yeah, and cut teeth into the side of it!! 👍
I came here to say the same thing. So I'll just like your comment instead of making my own. Hopefully that works.
It would explode
The king of Random: what other thing should we make into blades Me: silicone!!.,
meh
Ehhhhit
Cut breast implants with breast implants
Can u cute stuff with a wood and resin blade if it rotates fast enough and or if formed properly before cooling could gallium work?
Use paper to reinforce polyester shirt pressed together with Elmer's glue under a brick or something overnight maybe even pre-soak the shirt in a diluted Elmer's glue before attaching the two overnight
"So i guess, you should just purchase the blades?" "Ok? But yes."
The first thing that comes to mind, an Ice Blade. I'm so curious to know what it will do before it melts or breaks.
That is a very interesting idea, the ice may break when the wheel starts spinning. It would have to be pretty thick to cut something.
@@itsariot9122 yes cause that's science

I wouldn’t say paper or silk is cutting anything it’s pretty much just friction and heat and what material holds up better to centrifugal force, cool video either way!

Try to make a blade from melted down Legos. Or try to make one from resin.
Melted legos are just plastic at that point. Sorry if this disappoints you
Flesh
Resin will melt if too hot.

Maybe leather.
You should get the slo mo guys to film the silk flying everywhere

3:38 , Nate prepares for the current future.
Try Silk again but this time Sew the ends together so they cant fiber out.
You'd have to stitch in a spiral. As soon as the ends come loose it would still unravel

Does anyone else feel really old because they felt like they had to explain floppy discs?
Not old just way smarter then kids these days
Brian Ross.. Smarter than kids these days but don’t know the correct word to use?? (No offense but it’s than and not then)
im a teenager and i know but then again I'm a bit of a nerd
I remember using punch cards, floppy disks in both sizes and zip drives
I feel smart because I have seen a few floppy disks and cases at my Grandparents' house.
TKOR 2016: makes coconut grenades TKOR 2020: shows how silk can cut a coconut. Anyone else miss the old days?
Could you try Cling wrap? (i think it's called saran wrap in the US?) How much wrap would it take to cut something?
Nate and Callie can you polish the table with silk or can you only polish metals? try it out.
I love how Nate just knew someone would want them to try it with candy and automatically says it won't work
