You already have “Hulk’s Fist” and “Thor’s Hammer” it would be fitting to call it “TESSERACT”
Agreed
That’s actually pretty good!
i was just thinking about that
@@TylerPCoyne Ohhhh and of course we just call it Tessie!
Well I am not even gonna recommend a name because I can not top that
"Here lies our dear friend Nigel. He attempted to manipulate cubal integrity...and failed." RIP Nigel!

Nigel tried to square the circle, trouble was he tried by dividing by zero.
I was so shocked my jaw was still on the floor when they moved on to Bruce
Nigel will be remembered. You should do a fairwell montage to him next week
That’s only one letter away from the real world situation
Aerospace engineer here. I really appreciate the slow motion capture at 5:54. The surface tension of the water breaking before energy dispersion in the main content volume and the shape of the object gives me some fascinating ideas. Thank you guys for doing cool stuff.
I think to me this just really puts into perspective how strong tungsten is. Like I knew it was heavy and the strongest metal, but like, damn, that tiny cube of tungsten took a beating and at the end was just like "you got any more for me?"
We lost a brave soldier today, a member of the HR family. We love you Nigel, RIP my friend

That aquarium drop may be the most satisfying collection of sounds I've ever heard
Thanks for making suitable, positive, fun stuff for kids guys.
yeah i'm a kid.
Nigel breaks into a bunch of pieces: Me and most HR fans: "Well that's not in one piece anymore"
#wellthatsnotinonepieceanymore # 44clubbabby #letzgooooooooo!!!!!
When I saw Nigel at 5 seconds in, I shed a tear cause I knew he was going on a suicide mission.
That makes 0 sense.
They should take Nigel's pin and make Stanford a memorial pendant.
@@Nitron2097 Nah, they need to take that pin and make another and call it Nigella.

Lol I just finished watching a demo ranch vid where they destroyed a 2020 colt python Edit: I think it was a colt
He has a vid with the cube, interesting watch lol
Yes
He just did this vid
I have two things to say: 1.) Y'all should do an episode where you rent a plane, and drop some smaller items so we could see objects hitting at terminal velocity (roughly 125mph.) 2.) Some of the physics behind these falling objects: distance is 145 feet, they are in the air for about 3.1 seconds, at impact are traveling about 55 mph.
why did you do this?
they should do it next time from a 500 feet tower
lets all cry a tear for Nigel who didn't even die fighting Rexy
RIP Nigel. I wasn’t prepared for that either. A true legend will be missed
I thought Nigel was metal so I thought he was going to punch the cube through the steel.
As an engineer and a martial arts enthusiast/practitioner, I must say: how flippin good is Brucey?! Not only does he have perfect punching form as he falls, but he's aerodynamic as a bird. His creator really took the time to make sure he was well balanced and shaped to perform so perfectly. HR crew, please pass my compliments on to Brucey's creator for all his/her hard design work, they are appreciated!
@@ciciwoods4556 that's called "street cred"
Huh, I really thought Bruce was going to take more damage then that. The cube now has rounded corners and that's all that I thought would happen to it. The metal sheet did what I thought would happen, but only because the cube had such sharp edges. I was not expecting the cube to get stuck! :D The second drop did the damage to Bruce that I thought would happen the first time. I love this science channel of friends hanging out!
Just recently discovered this channel. Already I hear their voices in my head when I'm trying to fall asleep.
Drop the cube one of those big glass balls, the slow mo would be sick !
Pog
You need to paint the cube like a dice and take guesses at what you will roll.
Underrated comment
Good idea. But lineX it
What about sandblasting the spots on?
@Matt B you could blast it first instead of etching, but you need the best media in the world to blast that tungsten, but affordable enough, if you can get the cube, you can probs afford a harbor freight blasting cabinet and enough ind. diamond media to fill it, might need hookups on sourcing the media though, but that's where the friend with the fab shop comes in with his rolodex full of abrasives suppliers, those guys love making sales If they DO order an 8"-er though they could do their best to spec the markings machined in, dots being holes of equal diameter but varying depth to maintain balance, and we'd get those sweet sweet whistle drops
Use vinyl stickers for the dots.
There's nothing better after a long day of work than coming home and watching destructive chaos.
I love you actually gave a check for Demo Ranch🥰 well played
Everyone here says “Tesseract”, but old school comic fans remember “The Cosmic Cube”! As a Star Trek fan, call it “Borg”, because “resistance is futile.”

Anyone else waiting for gaunson to say “well that’s not in one piece any more” when Nigel died 🤣🤣

"this is nigels last day? im not prepared for this"
You guys moving up from the mega dart to Nigel was the equivalent of a villain in a show powering up, and the opponent not being impressed. You know the one who just powered up is about to get bodied. That cube wasn't taking no crap. R.I.P Nigel.
The best thing about these videos is Rexy❤
I don't think they realise, but they're making everyones day better

It’s quite ridiculous

or night
Thought I’d just drop this in here: Pressure is equal to the force applied divided by the area. I.e. p=F/A
Dropping all that weight on such a small, tough object, especially when they dropped it on a corner.... Everything I expected to happen, happened. They might as well have dropped a stack of paper onto a nail.
Excuse me what?
@@realchefboyardee1640 They dropped something with a large surface area onto something with a small surface area that's harder than it. It's basically the same as hitting something with a hammer.
@@ProjecTJAD Exactly, they had a much better chance with the dart. Hope they see this!
How ridiculous should really have a collab with dude perfect Hr+Dp
This has to be my favorite video of all time
I feel like HR should do a team up viddy with The Slow-Mo Guys.
pretty sure they did
They've talked about it but it hasn't worked out yet

congratulations! you have reinvented the hole punch.
when the Mythbusters would try to drop one thing on another thing, they would use a guideline that went from the ground to the top of where ever they were dropping the thing from to make sure the dropped object would hit the target.

If you haven't yet, drop a big solid glass ball on the cube!! That'd be dope!
These guys in 10 years: 10,000 metric ton meteor versus Australian outback.
What you need is a new dart: Solid steel on the bottom half with tungsten in the tip and aluminum in the top half. This way the tip is the heaviest and it won’t tilt sideways in the air. You could use a tungsten cube angled to use one of its corners as the tip, encased in the solid steel part of the dart. The top half could be a steel shell and used as a mold to dump molten aluminum into to add weight while keeping the center of gravity near the tip.
For that short of a drop it would need far more aerodynamic balancing than the steel fletching their large dart. Something as heavy as that would need a drogue or pilot chute, perhaps a meter or more in area, tied to the center of the tail. To be honest, even their large dart is not adequately balanced aerodynamically for that short of a drop, and it doesn't help that the tail is all mangled up causing uncoordinated flight. A chute is soft and can withstand impact, as well as easily replaced on site as needed. It won't slow it down much at all in a 40m drop, as it would still be accelerating and wouldn't even be close to approaching terminal velocity before impact. The less viable options are to bolt on grid fins like what's used on the MOAB and SpaceX boosters, or simple retarding petals like on a snake eye bomb. Furthermore, for the tungsten penetrator tip, it would be better for the tungsten to encase the steel rather than the steel encase the tungsten. In other words, the steel section would fit into the tungsten as opposed to the tungsten fitting into the steel. This allows the tungsten to do all of the hard work and protect the softer steel body. Tungsten tip penetrator ammunition is not made in this way simply because the parent projectile is designed to be mostly sheared off, leaving only the tungsten to do the work of piercing through hardened armor. Great for single use high velocity ammunition, not so great for a low velocity reusable dart. As for filling with aluminum, sure, if the body is hollow and not solid steel. It would be more about strength than balance though, as an aluminum filled steel tube won't be substantially lighter, aerodynamically speaking, than a solid steel body...but it will be nearly as strong as a solid steel body. The strength will come from the steel, and the aluminum is there to prevent compressive forces from deforming the steel and causing weak points. Not a good idea to pour molten aluminum in the steel tube though, the difference in thermal expansion between the two metals will leave the aluminum undersized when it cools and no longer a tight fit in the body. Better to machine a billet of aluminum to the size of the tube and press it in. Of course, a solid steel body will be stronger and heavier, and with proper aerodynamic balancing, it won't matter about mass balancing.

Having binge watched the last 2 years worth of content....i truly believe the boys will *never* learn from ONE particular mistake: ....* *Don't move the FLIPPIN' target in-between shots* !* , as the projectile will ALWAYS end up smashing where the target JUST was, 1 attempt earlier.

Ahh you beat me to it
Speaking of pressure being force over area. Another common misconception is that surface area does not affect friction. The only thing that affects friction is weight and the frictional coefficient. If you increase surface area, you also have to decrease thickness otherwise you’re adding more weight which makes it an unfair comparison. The formula for friction is Friction Force = frictional coefficient of material x the weight of said material.
You guys should do this same thing with a lead cube. Lead is much softer, and Bruce might actually flatten the cube
Name for Tungsten Cube: "Tess" or "Tessie". Short for "Tesseract". #Commtest #44club

Pushin the merch hard in this one
A lot of friends were a loss today split, opened, cracked, traumatized, but for the greater use
No one ever seems to pay any attention to how much effort these lads make to keep their content clean and family-friendly. Not a single swear word in any of their videos. My little brother loves watching your stuff, boys. Your efforts to keep your content clean are appreciated. Super cool 👍
There is a thing called CPM. Depending how much swearing / risky stuff you have in your videos the higher or lower that becomes. That changes how much they get paid per video. The lowest CPM like demo ranch or Nelk Boys can have millions of views per video and make $45 as no one wants to advertise on their videos. But a high CPM as it’s kid friendly will get 10 thousands per video
So shit aye
nobody besides softies like you would actually care if they swear or not. it is good for children but nobody really asked for that, they just know that it would make them more money as well.
They were trying not to yell/scream on a recent vid. My comment was to not worry about yelling and to limit the profanity and innuendos bc a big part of thier audience is kids.
In science fiction writing, the author will create a word to use as everyones favorite swear word. I think these boys may have one called "Slick".
After watching the Demolition Ranch video I had my doubts about it that cube breaking.

It’d be sick to see the 2 metals fuse together upon impact
