THANX bro
The sword just falling into the sand on that first drop is probably the most satisfying thing I have ever seen on this channel
same! Something about it was absolutely perfect.
Now that is a Sword of Damocles if I've ever seen one.
Name for the sword is easy: REXCALIBUR
This is the only real option
Beat me too it as well
THIS
DAMMIT I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
I was thinking Sir Chopsalot, but yours is WAY better
INCREASED ACCURACY ON DROPS TIP. Guys, if you want to increase the accuracy of the drops then you should change the release mechanism on your lifter. At the moment it's purely mechanical and you have to give it a tug, which of course, causes the falling object to sway. It would be much better to have a small electromagnetic lock. Just press the button, the current stops, the magnetic force disappears and each object falls. The only factor left then is the wind. Please like this comment so that the guys can see it.
That misses the point of the "sport". Perfect drops is easy.
Alec try doing a colab with them to make a sword that is ten times heavier lol
Damn your smarter than me
The trouble with EM release, though, is that it isn't failsafe. If the power gets cut off to the magnet while you're lifting, there isn't anything there to stop the object from falling. With the mechanical system, though, the safety pin holds the entire latch assembly together making it virtually impossible to release without the operator's say-so. Plus, I don't know of any electromagnets, outside of scrapyard excavators, that are powerful enough to hold a 100kg mass reliably.
@@willburton-edwards2882 I would definitely have the safety pin whilst lifting, anything else would be suicidal. I was only talking about the release. I've certainly worked with EM's the size of a car battery that easily take 100kg. Here's a fun video showing what can be done. kzhead.info/sun/fJuLg8abqmOPnJ8/bejne.html
Every time it drops, it's like that "magic-sword-falling-from-the-heavens" trope in fantasy. It's glorious. I love it.

My son says “RexCaliber” for the sword!
Your name is way better than my name! Lol so much so that I went back and deleted my comment because I want to see it become Rexcaliber!

awsome name
Great idea but Micah Santiago already suggested that name 11 hours before you. 😬🙄
Yooooo
"your arm's off!!" "No it's not, it's just a flesh wound. Come on then." (Bruce enters scene)
I think that it should be named "DAMPTEN".
King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, so Arthur seems like a noble name for the sword
😐
That’s cold man. Just gonna steal the name I said and get more likes. I see how it is
I agree Arthur is the better name
I agree
Def Arthur
“Rexcalibur” - I really can’t see how it’d be anything else...
They should add a rexy head to the hilt
yes i like this name
That's either because you read the highest comment saying the same thing, or because there is literally no other sword name, and the fact that they boys didn't come up with it is shocking.. Luckily they have us (well... you, but us)
Your wit, good sir, is legendary!
Kris Adams TV - The latter in this instance.
The boards between the paper allowed the stack to flex, absorbing much of the energy. Possibly could have gone thru twice as much if they were stacked on top of each other.
Bruce Vs the mannequin is definitely one of your finest moments.
Someone a while ago suggested "Rexcalibur"
I can see that comment right above yours lol
Nice perfect

Watched Steele when he was on the dirt floor in the UK . Then he moved to my home state of Montana. Sweet to see him on everything lol
To improve sword accuracy try twisting the string before release so it’ll spin on the way down, works for a bullet!
yeah maybe feathers to the top of the handle or something too, create a bit of drag
For bullets they spin hundreds of times per second, largely for a gyroscopic effect. They would need special equipment to even attempt to achieve any measurable gyroscopic effect in the sword.
@@ryanmarshall7994 gyroscopic effect is the tendency to maintain steady spin state along an axis of rotation. Bullets don't spin FOR gyroscopic effect - their spin IS a gyroscopic effect which increases their range and accuracy. I think a simple spin of the string in this case would likely cause some level of gyroscopic effect on the sword. But I'm not a physicist lol.
@@Eric-469 I said it a bit awkwardly but I meant that bullets are spun for that reason. The angular momentum resisting a change in direction of rotation keeping them pointed in that direction. Having a small radius and not getting a high speed of spin means a pretty small angular momentum but unlike a bullet has a lot more force acting on it. It won't make a difference unless being stupid fast.
Your genius scares me but also interests me
Giant sword with a casual name? Gotta be Arthur.
Yes
I instantly said that too
I thought the same thing hahaha 🤣
That was incredibly awesome. (Of course this is my first time seeing this one as I only started watching your videos last year) I definitely have a lot of catching up to do! God Bless all of you! Thanks for all the great and hilarious entertainment!
I started watching this year(2024) They are simply fun to watch
It's gotta be Arthur. As in King Arthur who pulled the sword from the stone.
Yes
I was about to say the same thing.
Very good, but in keeping with HR style perhaps Artie for short?
“Rexcalibur” I didn’t come up with this name but I like it...
@@2010SLP no doubtith about it!
I agree.
That’s a winner! 🎸
Lol guess we think alike
How about a mace or a morning star? The fins of the mace/ morning star can stabilize it during flight; thus increasing accuracy and the bludgeoning damage; it be a sight to see.

@@dylantheviolinist3311 riiiiiiight. 🙄
If you guys ever end up looking for an even bigger sword or something, you should call up MichaelCthulhu about a colab. He makes ridiculous weapons from games and such out of industrial grade hardox steel which is close to the same hardness as AR 500 steel they use for body armour. We're talking flippin big swords from Final Fantasy and Berserk to name just two, he's made swords as heavy as 50 lbs and axes upwards of 80 to 90 lbs! His whole thing is dropping big heavy things on other things, just with his hands rather than a tower, so I feel you'd have that in common. Personally, I think it'd be cool if you got him to make a really thick Captain America shield or something to drop stuff on, maybe a Hulk and or Thor vs Cap video even? I'm sure if you wanted something heavier than that he'd find a way, he mostly doesn't because that's about as much as a person can lift and drop without hurting themselves.
#Michaelcthulhu was my first thought as well.
YESSS make that happen
Ok 👍🏻
That was awesome, it seems like the pieces of wood allowed the paper to flex quite a bit. Could you do it again with out the them?
These guys are a fav channel of mine. As is Alec Steel. Can't believe I haven't come across this video b4.
Not going to lie... Brucie vs. mannequin may have been the most satisfying thing I've seen on the internet.... EVER!

they will have to ask michealcthulhu for that then xD

Obligatory: that's not a knife...

Call the sword Mick Dundee. From the famous scene where he says, “That’s not a knife”
THIS is a knife!
@@Skorpio420 Exactly what I was thinking.

“Alec” is the sword name honor the gentleman that made it why don’t ya
That's a good name
They don't even like the sword, they're already asking for a new one thats heavier. Ppfff😂
Honestly, that’s kinda rude of them to ask for a new one the first time they use it. Alec literally gave them what they asked for.
@@elichristensen8066 yes it was rude but they also didn't give him any direction on what they exactly wanted. So its partly their fault. Plus that's what happens when you ask a dumb kid to build you something. They should have asked a real manufacturer to build it, not a sniveling, hyperventilating, ADD kid, who cares more about subs and likes vs quality and specs.
@@411Adidas you have some serious problems
I feel like adding the blocks of wood made the paper act as a sort of suspension absorbing some of the impact by bending the packs of paper on the way down
If you had no space between the paper I believe it would have gone through more. In the slowey you can see the void absorbed a lot of momentum. The impact force went down way lower than 5 packs.
My vote is for Arthur. That's clearly related to Excalibur.
Easily the best answer.
Exactly what I was thinking
Arthur fits so damn well😍😍
This gets my vote.
You know it’s gonna be Rexcalibre. (Not my original idea)
“I know this is annoying but I want to say I hope you all stay safe from rona and a like or view on my new video would make my day❤️🤍🖤”

Tis a trueith statement!
It gives me a lot of strength to point out the shortcomings of the new video. kzhead.info/sun/mdpvd9J9sXlqZK8/bejne.html
Shout-out to rexy. He's the real MVP
There really shouldn't be spaces in the paper to get a true gauge of how much paper it could get through. That's the whole point behind the "how many sheets of paper can something get through" idea because it's tougher the thicker it is, but with spaces it's strength is reduced. I would've also suggested to sharpen the sword since that's almost just dropping a blunt piece of metal on it and hoping it goes through with velocity alone but if it had a sharpened edge it would be cutting the paper instead of trying to just push through it. It was a cool video overall still though for sure.
I though the same thing. The gaps gave bounce to the stack which dissipated the energy. You can really see it in the snowy.
The sword should be named Rexcalibur
Agreed
HR crew.. “we need a bigger sword”.. Alec steel..”I build a crane to make a ten foot sword they can’t pickup, and they want a bigger sword”
Whoever made this sword was definitely a Giant Dwarf who forged it in the heart of a star.

@@bncollinsmn Of course, that's why I'm correcting him. This will increase the amount of people who know his name and maybe the amount of people who find his channel.
Its not really a "sword", but a sword shaped object for messing around. Real greatswords (almost as long) are much lighter, with a much thinner blade, in the range of maybe 5 KG.
"I have The Power" HeMan quote.
That thing is mental, an object worthy of the boys antics, awesome creator collab video! Internet providing the goods
Aragorn’s sword was called Anduril, so the name should be “Andy” for short.
Oooooo, I like this
YES this one
Have you guys considered spinning the sword as you’re dropping it? A spiraling object will normally fly straighter than one that isn’t.
My expectation is that it would need to spin way faster than reasonable. Field artillery shells of a similar mass spin at ~250 rpm for stability, according to Google.
“Spin-Stabilization” ...it’s a thing. 👍🏽‼️
If it spins it wont sink as far in right? Cuz the rotation will cause more friction with whatever surface it is pushing through, slowing it down. Just like how a pencil dive into a pool sinks you deeper than if you do a pencil dive while spinning. So it may make it more accurate but less damaging :)
In one video when Jack was dropping the mega giant dart he spun it & got good results. I don't remember seeing the other 3 do it.
@@celticwolff5429 note that they were round not flat
Guy shot a 9mm at 1000 packaged sheets of paper it went through the first 500 and didn't enter into the second packaged 500 sheets so kinda awesome the sword really dose out do bullets on going through paper
That's not a fair comparison. That sword is massive, so for a fair comparison you need at least a .308.
I wonder what the results would have been like if the sharpened and polished the edges/tip before they dropped it in the paper
Commtest: A blade that big can only have one name. And that name is Pierce.
