There is actually an industry test performed by the golf companies. It is called the "ball canon" test. They measure the coefficient of restitution of the energy transfer.
So, they also do it themselves.

This is really fascinating! I knew the more modern solid-core balls were tough, but not this tough! I expected some splitting at that speed, but nope. The older wound ball though was amazing in it's own way though in how it dismantled at that speed.
This is why I am addicted to channels like this, everyday objects that I was already impressed by in regards to design gets taken to the next level with demonstrations and knowledge bombs like this. Great work!
13:17. at that moment, the garage owner was blessed with ants forever
you couldn't even see the bits of flying watermelon because of all the mist!
they had a tarp plus the ones that went out of the taro was practically mist ants dint like small bits and generally it'd just be a waste of time to get most of those microspic pieces I know its a joke but

This was an amazing collaboration. Both of you are amazing, wholesome, educational fun.
This channel is one of my own heart. I've always observed things and wondered how or why they work and always explored deeper - all the way down to the most mundane things. People thought I was crazy as a kid. I've kind of lost my will to experiment and do hobbies as an adult but I'm still really interested in everything. Also, I didn't know golf balls deformed like that. That's crazy. And that's my problem with golf - the few times I've swung an actual golf club (and not a little putt golf club), I can't hit the ball. I hit the ground usually. This was all pretty awesome.
Rocket powered golf club, Mechanical Limit of a golf ball, Laminar flow, THIS IS THE STUFF I SUBBED FOR! I love this dude.
My thoughts exactly. This is some real stuff. These people know what having fun means.
13:19 Looks like the ball enters another dimension through some kind of portal.
weed? :P
It looks like albino's anus
I had to rewatch that at x0.25 speed

Matschgo your actually right, in order to travel to the 4th dimension you have to travel into a watermelon at 500mph in slow motion... I think the FBI is knocking on my door...

13:19 THE most incredible slo-mo clip in the history of the moving image. The instantaneous cavitation within the body of the melon created such a powerful vacuum that melon residue that was initially ejected away from the point of impact at high speed reversed direction and was sucked back into the melon. I suspect that there was enough physics going on within the first few milliseconds post-impact, that you could base a masters thesis in fluid dynamics on that one video clip.
underrated
It's not cavitation, just a very low pressure following the ball thatthen sucks the airborne liquid back. Cavitation refers to very low pressure liquid vaporizing locally.
if man end up creating a black hole, even the tiniest one would only last a microsecond - disappear, and generate a force powerful enough to obliterate the earth. so no please.
Hey wow that's cool, didn't notice that!
ShadowZomboss khan You’re just mad because mommy still cuts the crust off your sandwiches
Can we take a moment to appreciate the engineering and R&D that went behind the designing of golf balls in general through all these years to make then this elastic. Probably a comparable invention then the 'wheel' itself

Slow motion really lets one appreciate physics, what a beautiful world
Destin: "I can't understand why the ball went backwards?" Inserts clip of slow motion of club going over the ball and pushing it backwards. For science!
The legend says that if you search hard enough, you can still find piece of watermelon.

11 million followers. Gives me hope for the future. People wanting to expand their horizons instead of watching cat videos. Thank you.
OMG! I'm a welding student, and I was just studying the Elastic/plastic properties of metal, so for once I actually knew a thing haha!
I want to see the speed of the ball hitting the club slowly elevated until the club fails. This would show the maximum exit velocity of a ball from a golf club. From this value, you should be able to extrapolate a theoretical Longest Possible Drive! Just an idea I had while watching the vid. Thanks as always for the awesome content Destin! Best, Jon :)
Wow, great idea
Yeah its like they missed the point of the video
Longest drive would be influenced by firmness of the ground the ball landed on, the angle of attack into the golf ball, the launch angle, and the backspin of the ball.
Finessing rocket club to failure would be cool...600, 700, 1000yds?
Ideal launch angle would be 45°, so you can calculate the angle of attack of the club from that, and that's two variables down (assuming flat ground with nothing you need to launch the ball over)
I’m an avid baseball fan and in the last few seasons there has been a record amount of home runs being hit and I am attributing that to the baseballs being made differently to increase their “springiness” off the bats. After watching this video I would be really intrigued if you could test a ball made even 10 years ago vs now to see if there is a difference in how far each one could travel.
And do a comparison between a regulation wood bat and an aluminum one!
@@philgrindle2741 I would love to see an mlb game played with aluminum bats🤣⚾️🚀
I'd like to see a game played with a carbon fiber bat
I watched a short documentary on it years ago. It was already proven the new nylon thread filled balls go farther than the old cotton yarn ones do. That's why MLB players started being able to hit 60+ home runs in a season.
The_BluFalcon interesting. Would you happen to remember the title? I’d like to watch that.
I have no idea how I just found this video... but it sure made my day!
Next challenge: how fast can you spin that golf ball until it explodes via centrifugal force
I cosign
much faster than they could design something to make it do so

Who else wants to see them use the cannon to skip golf balls off water?
There's no lake big enough
Yeah they can come to the Great Lakes and try that!
You can’t skip a golf ball. Watch Mark Robers video on skipping Apparently you can because it squishes when it spins. But still you’d have to work out a way of getting it to spin.
Matte Black it would have to have spin on it though
@@danielharman4437 All you would have to do is add a slight "hop up" system like that on airsoft guns.

I love how he went from how to stop the spreading of fake news to studying golf.
He went from stopping the spreading of fake news, to spreading fake news. He asked how hard you can hit a golf ball but never did find the limits of a golf ball. He just used an old one. Then use the old golf ball as his thumbnail. That in very fact makes this video fake news.
@@ministerc9513 he said he literally tried to break the new golf ball but it wasn't possible with the vacuum gun.
@@ministerc9513 golf balls enter the plastic region at 300 miles per hour. It's in the video.
@@ministerc9513 Troll spotted. Let the ludicrous comment-fest begin.
@@ministerc9513, but he did say the vacuum is not powerful enough to test the strength. He initially wanted to find the limits of the ball, so recorded himself saying that. But when he did the test, he found out that he can't find it using the equipment they currently have. Also, this won't be fake news since he didn't give a fake strength, for this to be fake news. Even if the title was "Finding the Strength of Golf Ball", it wouldn't be wrong since that's was the motto of the video, but ultimately they couldn't. This is Science and you can't compare unanswered questions in these Science videos to those clickbait videos on YT, which may seem similar but they genuinely try to bait people unlike Dustin. You can compare the flow in the is video to actual real life science experiments. But you are right in that they should have used the new golf ball as the thumbnail, even tho the old one is also a golf ball and makes for a better thumbnail(Just my opinion). It makes it seem from the title that a golf ball at 500mph has deformed that way.
I hit a like as soon as I saw Mark. And loved the part where ball hit Melon. My mind is blown. Love all your videos @smarter every day❤ keep inspiring.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but escape velocity is way too fast to achive with just brute force, the only way we as humans have ever goten anything to space was with either rockets using combustion, and weather balloons using air density.
@@daniel-hh4jn Incorrect: The 2000lb steel manhole cover from the Pascal B underground test of a 64.6 lb Plutonium Pit Nuclear Bomb was ejected at many times escape velocity. The exact speed is unknown due to the fact the high-speed camera that captured the event only managed to catch it in a single frame because of how ridiculously fast it was moving. Nuclear physicists at the time theorized it was traveling at roughly 150,000 mph or 6 times escape velocity. You can brute force objects to ridiculous velocities.
