As a machinist "The E-Stop is not working" might be the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.
Its up there with being a nuclear physicist during project trinity and saying "The atmosphere is on fire"
I'm not a machinist, but I'm a steelworker, and it's equally scary for us.
Yeah I’d say the EE on this project is not actually an EE… or shouldn’t be. There were multiple apparent drive faults, a runaway motor, something lost its smoke, and an incorrect e-stop circuit. On top of that the drive evidently could be restarted to the point is looked good to go. (Surely there’s something they’re not telling us?) The drive isn’t sized right for the application and/or is incorrectly tuned and the safety circuit… isn’t safe. And whoever is in charge of the set, if even one person on site doesn’t know about the generator e-stop, no one should be bragging about running a safe site… Terrifying failures of giant death machines with people running around not knowing what to do isn’t entertainment.
@@jazzman782000 I mean I was entertained
@@jazzman782000 whats the worst that could happen? they are in a steel crate, and the plexiglass guards them too. they are a fair distance away and even if it catches fire, they would stop it and run away. i know embers can go very far, but it isnt likely the forest will catch fire that far away.
Y’all need a second channel to cover the engineering design/build process of making these things and review how they perform.
🤨🤨🤨 I think it’s best for em to not show how to make a human blender 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Love this idea
@@whyismynamehereI mean, it’s not exactly rocket surgery - put big sharp thing on big spinny thing..
@@Ben-rq5re I know but probably best not to show how it was made or what parts where used
I always loved how over engineered everything they make seems (until they inevitably break it). Quite a bit of thought goes into making these projects as awesome and as safe as they can make them.
When E-Stop wasn’t working, I got so nervous for you all. I’m glad you guys got that under control!!! Can’t wait for part 2!
You've combined "Will It Blend" and "How Ridiculous" into one of the best things I've seen in years. Keep it up guys!

Something so incredibly poetic about the surfboard going for it's last ride, absolutely ripping waves in that blender. RIP, overwhelmingly Aussie surfboard. You were a legend.
One last 🤙
Are you the English teacher?
@@howridiculous do you guys think you'll bring back some old stuff like the super trampoline, that was some good stuff. You could drop some old props or some new stuff? And just an idea for a future video, make a Rexy prop, like a massive rexy?
@@howridiculous Put a balistics dummy in it
It's a shred or be shredded world. RIP
As someone who works with heavy machinery and VFD/VSD's, I felt Herron's line "E-stop didn't turn it off, E-Stop has to turn it off!" in my bones.
When the E-stop didn't turn it off but started going even faster, I got flashbak to the HBO Chernobl series when they pressed AZ-5 and the reactor exploded! Scary...
Hopefully they fix it and are more careful about e-stops in the future
The problem is the cavalier attitude telling their fans (some of which are qualified engineers) not to worry because we unplugged it and have multiple safe guards in place right before they have a near miss. The engineering team(assuming there is one)behind this needs to release a video on what they’re doing to fix this to rectify almost killing someone. And they need to do it by the book with s as proper risk assessment and safeguards. Not following LOTO is as basic as it gets.
that's the first line of code you implament, if you followed a "siemens" step 7 plc course. Safety.
@@spacekb17 "Almost killing someone" is a hilarious over exaggeration.
Props to whoever’s idea it was to make a giant blender because this vid was absolutely incredible. Also, when a giant machine with blades overheats and the EMERGENCY STOP DOESN’T STOP IT… I’d be freaking out too😅
14:00 mm, my favorite lighting. the foreground is sunlit while the background is dark and stormy.
"That fridge blended surprisingly well" is not a thought I anticipated ever going through my mind.
i said it to myself and then thought why would anyone else have that thought lmao
Well it's mostly just plastics and light weight metal. Apart from the pumps.
It stopped ththough
That was the most epic of endings. I reckon you pumped the power so high the circuit bridged between the input and output sides and bypassed everything that could stop it. I bet if you had a camera under the vcd, youd have seen some terrific arcs
This! Was looking for someone to say this. Your name checks out
Probably gotta insulate it or something though, otherwise that camera might be fried too
That was also a cheap, chincy e-stop regardless of amperage.
@@aze0012Nope, just get a proper e stop rated for the appropriate amperage and use a fuse or breaker, not that cheap crap they were using.
@rlsbluedevil2016 It's not like it's an incredibly technical observation. A better one is that the estop they used was a cheap piece of junk. They needed a proper estop that was rated for the proper amperage and a breaker or fuse in series with the power supply before the load. Their saftey protocols for filming are slightly lacking.
Dean the fabricator built something even he didn’t think would survive and it handled better than any body expected lol I thought for sure that was the end of it😂😂
I’d love to see a separate KZhead channel of them making these cool machines
This might be the most scared they have looked since the beginning of the channel! I was feeling their fear! Glad the boys are ok and everything is ok!
But if they weren't ok...oh well. It'd be their own fault.
The surfboard taking its last ride till the end inside of a blender was poetic 😂 Blender surfboard shirts with Rex riding the board please!! in memory of surfy
rip
Yep, I'd be hitting the merch shop big time for one of those.
So glad it all worked out with the e-stop fail. Can't wait for part 2!
Boys, this was LOADS OF FUN!! I cannot wait til part 2! Genuinely enjoyed every second and I was scared with you at the end. The whole fiasco with the e stop not working felt like something that would happen to my friends and I which made it even more exciting. you guys are the definition of friendship 44 forever!
That ending with the golf balls was terrifying. Felt like you were about to open a black hole or something. Good stuff, can't wait to see more of this machine of absolute chaos and destruction. What other havoc will it wreak on the world?
same vibe as willy wonka when they go dark mode in the cave. they need a hardware estop IN the bunker
Deadass when they said that i just was thinking of the resonance cascade from Half Life and it spooked me a bit
@@BiggieMFCheese Now that you say that, rather seemed like a similar scenario. Thankfully, their blender won't rip holes between dimensional space... hopefully. But something like that going wrong and _not_ shutting down is scary. Considering at least one person didn't know about the e-stop, think some better training and communication might be good in future - especially with building monstrosities like these. _Especially_ if something goes wrong.
PLEASE put in a fully sized ballistics gel human
Very Mythbusters of you

thank you so much for your great videos . being a quadriplegic I enjoy watching you guys having fun.
I wish you guys went more in-depth on how the machines works and built, such videos would actually be interesting
ABSOLUTELY DID NOT see a giant blender coming! This is AWESOME! :O Good on ya, lads!
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 is even crazier haha
@@howridiculous part 2?!
@@howridiculous speaking of part 2, when does that drop?? I'm on the edge of my seat here!!
When the estop doesn't work then unplug it.....duh
I mean, this is essentially the same thing as the bats and swords, just with a wall around it.
A whole new twist on the question, “will it blend?” 😳
Yo I’m first to comment
Now that's a throwback.
I'm watching that next!
"Blender smoke, dont breathe this"
hope blendtec dont sue
1:04 I love the surprise in the "It's still going!" Most of the stuff they do is a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of thing, so to have something that is self contained and just keeps going until you stop it must be quite the change for them. It's also terrifying and feels like they're trying to win a Darwin Award or something.
You guys have really outdone yourselves with this! I appreciate that you pointed out safety measures that you are using, and I think it is good to show the failures... It's a learning experience along with the ridiculous entertainment. I love the blender, but stay safe!
Y'all could create the world's largest smoothie with that thing😮
first thing i had in mind
And for some reason I see them using abnormally big fruit- like from cloudy with a chance of meatballs 😂
I just commented that on their own comment then realized you said it first xD. If they had like 1000 watermelons
How would they clean it up tho 😂😂😂
They should do that and then donate the smoothies to homeless people or food shelters
I love how editor Jack just slowly becomes more and more the 4th person in the group 😂
I hope he does not blend (pun intended) into the group too much, they have to have an at least moderately sane person near :)
Lol I was going to say something similar. 😂
They need a fourth.. i mean, FortyFour Club.. right? Only makes sense
@@justinleal811 They started out as four, so them going full circle and becomming a team of four again is kinda fitting.
I like it
The amount of interesting things you guys find to do with a big spinny is amazing
On the one hand, this was an epic video. On the other, I do think you need to upgrade your safety procedures when working with this kind of heavy machinery. You seem to be in need of a few more failsafes!
Dude that was intense. I seriously love seeing how you guys are all fun and games, but when something actually goes wrong, you’re all genuinely ready to help each other out and make sure everybody is safe. Super cool.
They are actually very dangerous in the way they don't focus on safety first. That machine had some serious torque and they didn't have proper shielding. When it comes to safety, you do not react while something bad is happening. Instead, you make sure that no matter what happens, you or anyone around you is never in danger during the operation of equipment.
@@guillaumebourgeois42 What do you mean they didn't have proper shielding? They were in a storage container, (what looks like) a good 30-50(?) meters away from the blender. You can see at 15:11. Plus, they had multiple safety procedures in place, one of them they ended up using to stop the blender after their first e-stop failed.
@@GolenCheeseIt Mild steel, contrary to a popular belief, is not meant to stop flying objects or projectiles. If you want to be truly safe around an object that spins thousands of rotations per minute with such a big tool attached (the blender blades), you either need ballistic glass or some kind of concrete enclosure (bunker at best). When they realized that their emergency stop failed and they had to have a guy run to turn off the generator, this isn't proper procedure, it's called handling a potentially catastrophic situation in the only we can right now because we were not prepared enough. The blades were still spinning when this guy decided to leave the container to make a run for it. You just need one well timed defect to end a life, amputate or seriously injure. This is not about being a downer, it is about keeping people safe so they can continue to produce fun videos without having an off-camera hospital visit, and screw the injured persons' family and friends mood for months.
@@guillaumebourgeois42 My mistake. I see what you mean.
@@GolenCheeseIt No mistakes here, I had to learn it from somewhere too ;)
I hope part 2 starts with them figuring out why the e-stop didn’t work and fixing it.
yea I'd really love a 2nd channel showing some of these builds
Never have I ever thought I'd see a refrigerator get blended
I felt nervous and on edge just listening to the katanas spinning. When the e-stop didn't work, I was genuinely worried. Glad you are all right. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Legitimately the scariest part of any video you've uploaded so far was the blender error. Kinda bummed out we didn't get a slowie of it exploding, but hey at least we get a part two 😂
This felt like a proper HR video. You got a bit of the old magic back with this one, for sure lads 👍
Hope y'all do a thorough safety systems review/redesign before turning this thing back on again. That's a huge motor in that thing and you do not want something like that catching fire. Stay safe out there.
I'm so glad we've arrived at this stage of the internet. What a time to be alive.
Scott just nonchalantly thumping a spider is the most Aussie thing I've ever seen 😂😂😂
Quick flick they can’t bite ya then lol. Wouldn’t flick a funnel web though .

This is amazing! I think it’s my new favourite series. The destruction is magnificent!!
Roughly one minute into the video and I already HEARTILY endorse this new direction. BLEND EVERYTHING.

10:00 Australia moment.
This is BY FAR your best contraption to date... very cool and fun to watch
I loved the "liquid" appearance of the fridge until the blades failed.
I knew the golf balls were gonna be a fun one.
69th like:)
Dang. You guys have built so many machines; I started watching like 5 years ago and am always impressed by your innovation. I thought for sure one day I’d be seeing scott jump off the tower onto a trampoline or one of those big air cushions to launch the Herran into space 🤖
I'm just happy you put the picture of y'all unplugging it and you pointed out you unplug it because when a lot of the different objects I always worry about that the same with like the helicopter spinning thing I hope you all unplug those two
I can't wait to see v2. 0 of this. So long as you guys do a full rework of your safety checks and procedures. Watch Destin on Smarter Every Day. His bullet collision and supersonic baseball cannon video will show you what kind of safety standards you need to have for these amazing deathtraps you guys are making. I'd love to keep watching your shenanigans for a long time😊. Also, does the engineer/manufacturer of this have a build video? It'd be super interesting to see how they make these things.
6:08 Such a nostalgic sound.
Please make a second video on this blender, but use a ballistic dummy lab torso. I’m very curious to see what would happen. 😊
It's good that y'all applied bulletproof glass like Plexiglass for the huge blender. It better not be the brand y'all applied to attempt to shatter it at the "Leaning Tower of Perth", a place that's part of the Gravity Centre.
As someone who used to work in a millwork and cabinet making shop..I've NEVER heard a more terrifying set of words than "the e-stop isn't working"
Don’t copy the top comment you sad human
@@chinanumberone7723 It's not a copy. It's not word for word, and it's not the same part of the industry mentioned in the top comment. There's a high chance the top comment didn't show for them when they commented, even if it was hours after. Your comment has to go through servers, etc, with limited refresh rates (probably not the right term but it's close enough to get the point across), so you could leave a comment and it could take up to several hours to be updated for every other viewer of the video around the world. The way it works and where they might be in the world relative to the author of the top comment, they could have actually commented first, and it was just the timing of the servers updating/refreshing that resulted in their comment showing as being posted later. The E-stop is the last line of protection for a wide variety of equipment, people's lives depend on it every single day, and for it to be seen not working is going to be the most terrifying thing most/all of the operators of all that equipment could ever hear, because as much as they're trained for operating the equipment safely, the dos and don'ts to stay safe, the backups, escape routes, etc, there's no backup plan to the E-stop, so it's completely understandable that many people working in all the relevant industries and hobbies will share the same thoughts and subsequent comments on this video.

Gotta say it was pretty funny when he flicked the spider .Loved the video crazy how it didn’t turn off when you wanted it too
I think the one thing this channel has taught me more than anything is that bowling balls are not nearly as tough as I thought they were
14:50 "We cant stop it" I was expecting an explosion
Honestly so were we 😵

Editing was spot on this time. Well done mr editor.
Just when we thought this channel couldn't get any more bonkers, you came up with this insanity! Well played, boys !
the surfboard surfing on the blades actually looked really sick! i can really see how much effort it took to make this!
THIS is the BEST video you've made!!! SO much fun to watch and genuinely was smiling the WHOLE TIME!! LOVE it lads! Keep it up MORE BLENDER BLENDER BLENDER!
E-stop should be wired with two normally closed contacts in series to avoid situations like this. It would take an engineering analysis to determine whether it should be connected to a Safe Torque Off terminal on the VSD, or if it should just completely cut the power by means of dual contactors also wired in series.
very chaotic and detailed in there, thx alot
That could have gone so very very wrong. I'm sure you'll figure out why the estop failed and fix that, but I hope you also beef up the failure mode and effects analysis portion of your engineering, as well as taking additional steps to make sure everyone knows where all the e-stops and any other safety devices are.
I was totally prepared to hate this video. "A BLENDER?" I scoffed. "How boring!" How WRONG I was!!!!!!! One of the BEST videos you guys have ever done-though a bit of danger always keeps things interesting too!!!! Review your safety procedures, learn from it, and you'll move forward even better prepared for even greater things. Great work guys!
love it guys You all could also turn that blender in to a sky dive zone turbine and see if the objects you throw in there will float/fly or get minced :)
That is 100% why the e stop is only allowed to be a hard wired physical break...not wired into a PLC program
I would love to see a behind the scenes for this episode. The process to build the blender seems fascinating
Best video in a long time, carnage, excitement, panic, thrills, 🏄♀️. Part 2 should be epic also #44 club
The panicked "we can't stop it" felt like a movie scene, never seen anything go wrong in the vids and I can't say i wasn't on the edge of my seat because i definitely was
I love how we don't mention what sounds like one of them making a muffled "HELP" noise at the start, but turns out to be live stock. Did everyone forget about that?
Huge respect to this guy for creating such spine-chilling episodes. I'm loving this one. Kudos to the cameraman! 🎉

There's no end to all the fun you can have when you have a bloody big electric motor. Keep'em coming boys!
A part of me wishes someone had stopped the blender when the surfboard managed to surf on the blades for like 10 seconds. I'd have bought that, honestly. What a tenacious item. True icon.
I’m proud to be a 44 member for over 4 years! How Good!!!
e-stop should cut power to the whole thing, and a reset button should be needed after disengaging the e-stop in this case I would make that without electronics, purly with buttons, contactors (retails) and so... :)
I've been watching you all for a min because my son loves you guys. This is one of the first times I saw actual fear in your eyes.
14:44 is the start of one of the best scenes from this channel 😂😂😂 all your reactions were hilarious 😂
The ingenuity you guys have never ceases to amaze! What on earth will you lot come up with next? That mechanical failure was next level psycho, glad that everyone is OK. I honestly didn't think that the bowling ball would blend, I was in shock. My mom even called out asking what was going on 😂
Engineer here, I do a lot of work looking at water pumping stations. These have VFDs and similar power rated motors. I mainly look at the hydraulic side of things but the control systems sometimes come into this. There is no way this was correctly setup. In an application like this the E-Stop should be hard wired in to operate a contactor either feeding power into the whole system (between generator and blender) or between the panel and the motor. On a rig like this there is no reason for the E-stop not to just cut power. What it looks like here is the E-Stop was an input into the control system. To me what appears to have happened was that the E-Stop turned off the VFD not the motor, this then caused the motor to acelerate up to sycronous speed. The "burning clutch" smell was most likely the drive belt which presumably was not rated for that speed/load. What's more worrying is that after all this happened you guys appeared to just turn it on again and once it started spinning take that as proof of everything being okay. Please take some proper precautions with this thing before you end up with Darwin Awards.
A+ boys. I gave you a thumbs up as soon as Brett gave us all the lowkey safety briefing to put us as a viewer at ease, but honestly that ending was insanely entertaining. Please do not take that as me asking for you to risk it for the biscuit, but seriously this was such a funny video. Thanks for including lots of BTS at the end too. On the edge of my seat for part 2 now...
can we just appreciate how much effort and money they put into these videos just for us ❤️
not enough of either on safety though. The amount of money they spent on that damn blender and not a well seasoned electrician? If I wired it sure, the e-stop might not work. But come on? They need a safety engineer on staff to vet workmanship.
