We're starting to characterize the cannon
Added 2021-10-28 14:55:33 +0000 UTCI would like to thank every Patron for your support. Everyone, of course except for Joseph Robinson. Joseph, you are a diabolical madman who has left a deep scar on my being. I will never forget the smell of walking through a mayonnaise cloud as I approach my camera which has been "gooped" with mayonnaise dollops raining from the heavens.
(I'm kidding of course.)
I have some very interesting things planned for this cannon, and I hope you'll consider sticking with me as a Patron of Smarter Every Day.
Oh.... and it's not lost on me that we've gone from the James Webb Space Telescope, to Privacy, to Supersonic Mayonnaise. When you guys let me explore what I'm interested in... who knows what we're going to do.
I'm grateful for your support,
Destin

2022-08-10 20:45:59 +0000 UTCHello, I just became a new patreon supporter. I had an idea for your baseball cannon. A 1 cubic ft. (Or larger) SOLID BLOCK of lego bricks.

2021-12-13 14:10:35 +0000 UTCI like where your head is at, but Tannerite has an ignition velocity of 2000ft/sec which is over 1500mph. It probably will not ignite given this situation.

2021-11-14 22:11:28 +0000 UTCI would summit baseball setting off Tannerite in a 500-800 lb pumpkin. We do this about once a year. This is the footage. https://youtu.be/mQBNdoEAxk4 There are other videos with better production value. But is a good showstopper event.

2021-11-09 14:11:29 +0000 UTCI'm surprised you haven't aimed it 45° up and seen how far it can go yet.

2021-11-08 06:51:21 +0000 UTCI suggest cornstarch & water (thickens when it's hit) and ketchup (thins when it's hit) as targets!

2021-11-08 06:44:43 +0000 UTCHow about a gallon of a non-newtonian fluid?

2021-11-06 20:39:50 +0000 UTCPlease consider a large can of Cranberry Sauce as a target. Lay or suspend the can sideways to aim at the circular top or bottom of the can. This could help the baseball transfer more of its energy to that flat surface while the jellied cranberry sauce inside smoothes out the deformation and allows the can-lid-wrapped baseball travel down the length of the cylindrical body. The target/food is seasonally relevant, easily biodegradable, not as offensive in odor as Ken’s Extra Heavy Mayonnaise, photogenic with a dark translucent purple color (particularly so if a large can of whole berry sauce can be found), and may be easier to clean up since the can is likely to break apart into a few pieces of metal and paper label. Thank you for the first video! It entertained me on all levels with an honest sense of silly joy, awe and fascination.

2021-11-04 02:03:11 +0000 UTCDestin lets hit a pillow, a catcher chest protector, a bullet proof jacket, a sand bag, boxes and the kind of things you will use to protect your body from a baseball match 1 ball
2021-11-02 23:23:08 +0000 UTCAim it at a bucket of baby powder, if you please
