⇊ Click below for more links! ⇊
I have been wanting to build this thing as long as I understood the physics of how it all works. A super big thanks to David Linderman, Jeremy Fielding, Trent, and David Woodall (the welder).
I realize most people who support Smarter Every Day don't do it for "transactional" reasons, (ie, I'll support Smarter Every Day to get stuff). I also realized that there is often a mental hurdle that must be crossed before support on Patreon starts. My thought is that I'd really like to give folks a baseball, and it might provide enough momentum to get over that initial hurdle. I signed the first shipment of baseballs I received, but I only have so many of those. There's no implication that my signature is worth anything.... it's just kind of what you do with baseballs... it's a tradition. After a certain number, it will transition to unsigned baseballs. I've got enough signed baseballs to over all existing Patrons, and many more, but I will wait a month or so to see how many I need to get, then I'll order the second batch. I like to support jobs and pay people for what they're good at. The machinists and welders who made the parts in this video for example. The whole intent here is to diversify away from solely being ad sponsored so I don't have to answer to anyone but myself and Patrons with respect to the types of content I choose to make. Thank you for understanding what I'm doing here, and even if you decide not to kick in at / smartereveryday , I'm super grateful you took the time to watch this video!
Thank you very much,

SUBMARINESSSSS
WHAT A BANGER!!! 1) I’m humbled you named the cannon after me 2) I’m stealing “What hath we wrought” as a catchphrase 3) I just signed up for your Patreon to get one of those balls!
Collab please ❤️
You need one of these canon for your collection
I love you mark! Glad you didn’t die with those sharks!
Hi
Glad to see you here Mark. I appreciate you guys SO much. 😳
Well, seeing as you have a really accurate baseball canon, is there really any need to mail the baseballs?
Brilliant!!!! 😎👍
“You can expect your package to arrive in 10,9,8,7...”
Well. As Dwight said. A blow to the head could prove fatal.
@@styleofender8945 guess we gotta practice our catching
HHahaha
Mark French here. My students, Craig and Jim, and I did the first supersonic ping pong gun about 9 years ago. I'm impressed with your design and how far you've taken the concept. I never would have guessed it would get this sophisticated. Nice work :-)
I want to see him fashion a pellet of appropriate caliber.. That is one colossal air gun!! ..I bet with the right "pellet" it would penetrate that steel plate..
Oh look, one of my favorite professors!
In your name, replace French with 1. You are now the cannon.
I love how scientific their minds are. They saw something with their own eyes which shouldn't have been possible and their first reaction was "something is wrong, I need to do the math and double check. I need to understand what happened." Great stuff!
"You can get one of these baseballs! Just give us your coordinates, we'll calculate the ballistics and let you know the required steel plate thickness to armour your house with..."
This is highly underrated!
underrated comment 🙏
lmfao
Ingeniously genius
Give this man an award
This was AWESOME. Thrilled to have worked with you guys on this! For those of you just finding out about our team...welcome to Trash Panda Nation.
Indeed, coolest team name ever! Greetings from Germany 😊
@Rocket City Trash Pandas : with such a cool name you could sell merch even to guys like me who know nothing about baseball ^^ Cheers from Romania.
Awesome name I love it. Would love to see some games but I dont live near Rocket City sadly 😔
@Rocket City Trash Pandas, you have done a good job with your branding campaign and earned yourself a fan from Pakistan
Greetings from a Savannah Banana! Appreciate you getting involved; this is such great community spirit. Hope you can get some games going soon.
Ok, I feel like not enough hype is being had over that ball stop. Dude literally doesn't even budge an inch after getting hit with a super sonic baseball straight to the face. Props
Hi Destin, small world, we interned together one summer long ago (before KZhead). 😂 I randomly found this video of yours this summer with my son, while looking to improve his baseball skills, and we are now big fans of your channel. (Even more after Mr T confirmed that I did in fact know you.) You do a really great job of explaining things simply enough that we do in fact get smarter every time we watch. Thank you for choosing to do this, and I hope you continue!
7:45 Officer Friendly: "Hold up. Can you explain what exactly it is that you're building here???" Destin: "Sports Equipment."
"There's a way you can actually get one of these baseballs." You mean, give him your coordinates and he'll fire one to you?
DanP740 lol, could he reach Europe though? 😁

OK so it's like the 3rd time through watching this video and it still gives me tingles. Having binged through your awesome podcast no dumb questions, please please please introduce the mad batter to the Canon!! The combined sound would be beyond words!
I just wanted to say thank you for the really exceptional closed captioning on this video. I’ve been watching videos with my kiddo and she loves CC so we’ve had it on and you did a really good job on this one!
“I developed a pretty intimate relationship with air cannons, here’s me inside of an air cannon.” That went from 0-100 pretty quick.
How many Gs is that?
i mean there was one G in the video
More like 0-1050 real quick

So that's how he convinced his wife to go along with his crazy ideas. His wife is that air cannon

It went through the window, through each wall and out the other side
*Some guy two houses away: "Some kid threw a baseball through the wall of my barn."

Somewhere in Korea: Kim John un: hey who shot a rocket at us?
I was pretty surprised they just shot that ball straight into the air, couldve killed someone
The Trash Pandas really is the coolest Minor League Baseball team name ever.
Absolutely. Selling t-shirts is pretty important to them right now. Since they weren't allowed to play their first season due to COVID, merch sales is keeping the ship afloat for the time being. As a family, we're super excited to see them play, so we really want them to remain healthy through the pandemic. They have some cool designs. If you'd like to support one you can get one here: shoptrashpandas.com/
Albuquerque Isotopes. C'mon!!
Big fan of the Binghamton Rumble Ponies as well
Akron Rubber Ducks would like to know your location
What about the Savannah Bananas? Lol
On Discovery Channel , myth busters was a favorite of mine . Just watched your segment of the supersonic base ball . Loved it ! Great stuff ! .
This is crazy stuff! I love seeing all the science behind it all. I’d be pretty shaky too after letting off a cannon like that. 😆
Be honest Destin, you added that “excess air collector” cylinder on the front of the barrel because it makes it look 10x cooler
He just wanted to steal some ideas from gun-silencer patents.
lol yeah, and the "sear"
Isn't it bacicly a fume extractor? Tank cannons have had those for ages although I like it being used to catch access air
LOL
It makes it look like a giant sound suppressor
9:17 "There's a way you can actually get one of these baseballs" Yeah we're gonna launch them to you halfway across the globe with this huge cannon
Get your glove out.
next video: "making a gps coordinated supersonic baseball cannon aiming system with the world's first five minute shipping"
The trick is to get the speed and trajectory just right to drop it gently at your front door :-D
I literally thought he’ll be sending us those baseballs through that cannon. 😂
@@ryandavis7593 *hand continues to vaporize on impact*
great video, love how yall are professionals and not some kids who failed highschool making online videos for preteens on tik tok. the quality of work done on this is awesome.
I love this video. I appreciate seemingly random and funny science/engineering. Working for your channel has got to be constant entertainment. It would definitely NOT be boring! Thanks for this gem, Destin! And, I freaking love the Minor League team's name! The Trash Pandas is definitely the best name!
"We now have a supersonic baseball cannon... We can do whatever we want now!" - I... Is that a threat? 😂
Home land security has peeked it's interest. "This guy built a baseball tank gun! He need to be monitored" xD
He's a weapon engineer right?
I have a mental image of a "Come and take it flag" but the baseball cannon.
I think its so cool to see Destin get so excited even after all the experiments he's done.
@@smartereveryday New merch idea
“What have we done?” A question that every true scientist asks
"You've just become death, the destroyer of worlds"
that first test shot out of the garage... what if it hit someone? or even just those suspended cables? seemed a bit careless...
" you're not the only one with the curse of knowledge "
"Behold, I am become Destin, Destroyer of Baseballs!"
@@alveolate It was just a testshot at very low power to see if there were any leaks and if the principle worked. Hence why they did not stand behind steel cover.
This was one of the dopest vids I’ve ever seen. Grown up playing baseball all my life and now I know what it looks like when a ball disintegrates 😳🤙🏼💯
This is THE nicest man on the internet. Sweet, smart, and humble. Abba father is PLEASED.
You seem like you've seen all of internet?

XD
Exactly, it could sink battleships for sure

With a cannon sized suppressor. Oh boy, here we go!
I feel like engineers are just smart kids who can make their dream toys come true
Yeah, we are.
That's exactly what it's about...and having disposable income does help. Our wives don't understand but they support us. :)
that just became one of my favorite quotes
If you want to write an original song, learn music theory and practice. If you want to make a supersonic baseball cannon (or as we in aero at Tesla called the Hyperloop, a "Supersonic People Cannon"), learn physics, materials, and manufacturing, and it can be yours.
I made a jet skateboard once, was pretty cool
I love the honesty and transparency at the end of the video. Also, very cool video!
Love the build montage. They are so skilled!
The one thing I can't stop obsessing over while watching this video is how incredible the cannon's sound must be in person.
Smarter every David
Watch the video with headphones/earbuds, and during the exact second that the shot goes off, turn your device volume up as loud as you can. That’s probably how loud it is in-person.
@@AllHailZeppelin Using headphones/earbuds immediately makes it completely pointless and not at all a good representation of what it would be in person. Sound is felt with more than just your ears, especially sounds like those. Earbuds/headphones won't ever come close, no matter how high you turn up the volume.
@@EnmaDarei I meant only in terms of volume. Of course it would be COMPLETELY different and much more visceral (and awesome) in person.
Alternate title: “why you should never let a group of engineers get bored”
Why you should always let engineers run free!
Typically the best worst idea ever.
Hahaha
Because they test fire while aiming at power lines?
how to cause a war: bored engineers edition!
trash pandas is such a banger name, i'm so glad you both have collaborated
That building process is beautiful. So many smiles =)
This man has taught me many incredible things, one time on a school test I had a question I didn’t remember studying but I remembered it from one of his videos. (It was prince Rupert)
Same
He’s Like the science teacher you always wanted but never had
It's the teacher the district could not afford. Lol
While living in Colorado in middle school, I had a great science teacher. we did 2 experiments a week and got to use the bunsen burners, it was so fun. Then i moved to Las Vegas and it was all worksheets, everyday. 😢
Not exactly...That's what happens to a bunch of guys bored to death because the cannot visit the local strip joint due to covid-19....
I had science teachers this cool in a public school of +1200. Fun teachers exist but you sometimes need to be an AP student to get access to them!
I was lucky enough to have one in junior high school. He flew to school most days in an ultralight that he landed on the football field. All sorts of experiments that would probably not be okay in today's system were a weekly occurrence with him.
20:11 十分療癒的畫面特寫❤
I love the pure joy when the math confirmed the speed.
"Goggle up! Science is about to happen!" would make a great T-shirt.
Or Bill Nye's off-camera commenter: "Uh Bill....Careful!"
I want one...
Maybe there already is one on redbubble
I’m pretty sure he once did a limited run t-shirt with that on it. Maybe if enough people ask him, he will do it again
Utterly incredible!
just like your creations :)
it is
Just like that pizza cutter
“Damascus airflow”
Build a steel balista arrow and send it to them!!!
im usually not that impressed by videos like these but the leather turning to string from just kinetic energy made my jaw drop
16:14 That's the happiest "Dude... What have we done?!" That I've ever heard.
Alternative title: A group of men make a howitzer that uses baseballs for ammo.
honestly kind of curious what kind of damage this thing could do lol. Like against one of those ballistic gels I'm pretty sure he has used on this channel.
@@ohgodmynutbladder pretty sure this would wreck ballistic gels.
@@ohgodmynutbladder yes please
@@ohgodmynutbladder The ballistic gel would be gone. It would have the same fate as the baseball itself. I'd be interested to know the actual energy transfer of that impact though. Too lazy tonight, if someone wants to do the math for me 😉👍
@@jerotoro2021 it couldn't be that much could it? basically 10x as much energy as a 100mph ball. I mean a 100 mph ball is going to hurt and leave a bruise, would 10x that energy actually be that devastating? Deadly obviously, but I'm not sure what to expect. Maybe my intuition is way off. Kind of why I really want to see this hit some soft targets in the first place lol
Things this needs to be fired at now: An actual baseball bat Watermelon Mark Rober-designed Supersonic Baseball Glove
Epic
Now that would be an actual challenge for Mark since the 'glove' mechanism does sound impossible. If anyone can do it, Mark can. The ball is literally coming apart at the seam before it hits the target so it's gonna tough if the 'catcher' isn't a one time use. Challenge is set! And no mark, you can't have the 'catcher' 14 miles away :) Actual pitching distances please!
Awsome idea! You have to do it 😃
and the "peaceful" protesters
Pre-emptive F for the melon.
9:08 Lol at the cat sat on top of the pile of baseball boxes
that was a blast.. i think i was more impressed with this man more than anything. very cool
This guy has the best patreon pitch I've heard yet.

Bruh send me to Mars, I'll give you robux
@@rajatsinha6607 why robux
Doom doom tss
Agree
15:23 I love any time someone is so excited they stop speaking in complete sentences, then as their excitement ramps up they stop using words and just dissolve into uncontrolled giggles.
This was my observation as well. When engineers get giddy, then *something* is about to happen.
This made me smile more than I had expected to smile.
I love your videos, supersonic and shock waves are so cool for some reason
There has to be a KZhead museum one day. To put these amazing creations made by youtubers on display.
Kinda get the feeling that colin furze would fill up a hangar all by his own
Hacksmith already filled up a hanger lmao
Mark rober would fill a good chunk of that museum
youtube would rewrite history the way they wanted it to be.
I don’t want to go to the clickbait section
So here's the real question: If you could hold that vacuum and push the pressure to say, 750, how much _faster_ could you make it go? ;)
I feel like at that point the baseball would tear itself apart mid flight.
At some point, that baseball will rapidly deconstruct midair. I wonder how much it can take.
I love how they weren't at all concerned about loosing vacuum
Can one inject water into the ball and freeze it prior to blast off? Slight increase in weight so a slower speed but impact should be very interesting!
@@rosen9425 18:58 It kindof already did, lol
and instantly became a fan of your channel and more importantly- the Trash Pandas... Never heard of them before but I'm now a fan. Love their name and logo!

I love the Enginnering. I love the Baseball. I love the idea of a Baseball going Mach 1. But I really love that "WHAT ON EAAAARRRR" 15:14
the sound of the first shot they filmed in slow mo is SO COOL
19:59 Significant wear on seams from firing process. With a redesigned barrel, one could develop a series of sabots that would allow you to actually supersonically PITCH!! The accuracy is good, but a 1000+ mile an hour curveball?! In the strike zone!? Being hit by the Mad Batter!?! Surely we need this. Science, I mean. Science needs this.
That would be insane!!!!!!
DOOOO IIITTTTTTT!
Hit-by-pitch, you may now drag your torso and remaining leg to first base.
Now that we have a supersonic baseball cannon, we need a supersonic steel bat to hit it. 😱
Now I need a supersonic discarding sabot baseball
Thumbs up for Mad Batter vs Supersonic Baseball Cannon!
👍
I was thinking about that too. I think a much more secure bunker would be needed.
My predictions if this ever happens 1: the ball misses the bat's cus it's going so fast and gets annihilated by the steel back they'll likely set up 2: the energy transfer of spinning bat's and a 1050 mph ball is so great the ball gets annihilated along with a bat snapping 3: boom
@@smartereveryday A thumbs up from Destin! Please make this happen. If the mad batter or the ball doesn't break it could go to the MOOOOON
My first thought after reading the title.
I wish I had gone to school for engineering. You guys have the most fun.
Just moved to the Tennessee side of rocket city, now you’re making me want to go watch the trash pandas play.
You're the best, Destin! Don't ever change! Really great collab with Jeremy!

Destin to his neighbor: If someone living near you decided to fire a baseball out of a cannon at supersonic speeds, would that bother you? Asking for a friend. Neighbor: There is a zero percent chance you’re not referring to yourself.
Destin: You...yeah you’re probably right
I love this comment!
I was so wondering what any neighbors would think. Thanks for stating it better than I could.
This guy: *_*Talks about science and stuff*_* Me: *"Heh heh baseball go SPLAT!"*
Although, most of his channel exists because deep down he feels "Heh heh baseball go SPLAT!" and he learned all the science parts just so he can make it happen 🙂

When you slam so much kinetic energy into a solid object that it just decides its a liquid.
Baseball vs Watermelon.
I did the math (not hard) it’s 16000 J or 16 kJ. That’s a lot for such a small object...
That makes me really confused
That baseball in 2020, "I self- identity as a liquid, I was born a liquid, I will die a liquid"
Interesting thought. How much heat does this produce? Are the materials softened (semi-liquified)(if that's a thing)?
Great production,, thank you!
I’ve watched this so many times, I wish they just did a distance test hopefully one day
So…you have a batting machine and a pitching machine…when can we expect these two to cross paths?
asking the real questions here
Exactly what I said 😂
Absolutely a great idea
bat machine will lose
quertbarbie62 full power v full power, the ball would disintegrate. I really want to see the maximum distance they can get out of the pair though.
