You really need another set of flip out fins mounted on the stop ring that unfold when they leave the barrel, like an RPG round. That would make the surface of stop ring much larger, so you won't keep firing all the way through the door. It would also help stabilize it in the air... also EPIC vid man. The power of that air cannon is awesome
thats a great idea, would love to see it :D
that's exactly what i was thinking
@@pirri223 same
damn i was going to say that.....

This video deserves more views than it has. keep playing with the title/thumbnail (I've seen you change it a few times) to see if you can get the right combo. I like the current thumbnail but I've seen our videos do better with more realistic images (a screenshot of the slow mo before and after like at 15:20 or maybe the camera angle at 15:15 ), but you know your audience better. Maybe making the title a question like "Can you really pull a car door off like they do in movies?" (that could be improved upon lol) would make for a more intriguing concept and gets the idea of what you're testing across. Don't do anything that goes against what you know works for your channel though. If the most recent changes you've made are showing promising results disregard this comment lol
That's very helpful! Thank you.
Agreed
When the Lock Picking Lawyer is simply not an option.
The surprise Destin in the middle of this video had me laughing so hard.
Hands down the best part
"SNATCH BLOCK" 😂
Same here! Had to rewatch the Destin part 5 times!
Y'all should get out more.
SNATCH BLOCK
@@MadScientist267 clearly your just not a fan.
The doors on most vehicles are actually a critical part of the structure. If you remove the doors the overall strength of the passenger compartment gets seriously compromised. That's why you have a structural brace that runs from the hinge side to the latch, and you can see that is what stopped the harpoon at 7:51. Because the doors act like gussets and are what help keep the passenger compartment rigid in a crash/rollover, they are deceptively strong so long as they are closed and latched.
Man this is wild!! Who knew car doors would be that strong
I know! Nuts!
It makes sense: car doors are designed to protect the occupants from side impacts, including vehicular impacts. It would be extremely dangerous for the occupants if the door separated from the unibody. In fact, the door when latched becomes a structural component of the chassis assembly.
The latch and hinges prevent the door from being pushed too far into the cabin during a side impact, and also prevent the frame from separating (the door opening from spreading) during other impacts.
@@haphazard1342 The structural support of the door is most notable in convertibles, especially soft tops. With most of the strength of the frame being a flat box, door fitment can become a significant factor in reducing frame flex in corners. (Only really noticeable if it's awful, though.)
I work in a vehicle assembly plant and you’d be surprised just how much thought and engineering is put behind the door’s points of contact with the rest of the vehicle. Luckily, I work on “door line” so I actually assembly the doors themselves. That bar that limits the door from opening too far (could also be called hyperextending) is called a “check link” and then you have your locking mechanism that interacts with the striker plater that’s bolted to the vehicle. A doors lock functions like a miniature Ferris wheel inside of the locks hollow housing. So instead of the lock being displaced by the striker plate and then going back into its original position (providing a restricting barrier that keeps the door from opening again) the lock actually has a second latch that just replaced the position of the initial one. Think of it as rotating into place. My assumption is that the original latch then goes into the housing and provides some sort of opposing force inside the houses where it latches into its own piece. Take all of this with a grain of salt (or many many grains) because I want taught any of this. I just learned it from assembly the doors. I don’t know what any of the lock housing looks like on the inside. I just now how it functions because we have to do a lock function check before the door is put onto the vehicle. There will probably be a large amount of typos, and idek if there’s a character limit to YT comments
@@TylerBellMakes in the movie it wasn't compressed air, it was Nas
I guess the engine was dead in the car? It looked like a nice car lol
This dude really did just demolish his mom's car.
I was thinking that also. Why not get a junker to do this on?
Go hard or go home
@@franklinmills1756 The fact that they had to tow it in suggests that the car was a junker.
Maybe someone tried to drive it through deep water and it hydro locked and wrecked the electronics.
This was amazing dude, great work - those harpoons are impressively strong!
Its not about being strong though. Did you watch the video? I really like that its actually all about finding the balance and how sensitive it is to get it to work in comparison to the movies where it just works 'out of the box'
You!
Tyler, you are such an extremely intelligent young guy. You have this presence that makes you seem a bit older than you are. And an attitude like someone from the south - really sweet! And your videos are some of my favorites on YT. I feel like your life is going to be really fun and interesting. You will have a blast! ☺️
14:36 great vid but please don't do that. One twist of either hand and the disc will bind and pull your left hand towards the disc. Keep both hands behind the grinder and even better would be to put the bolt in a vise or use locking pliers and secure the locking pliers clamped to something solid if you're in the field
Cut my thumb down to the bone with a router earlier this year trying to freehand putting smooth edges on a block of wood. Not a great day. Router bit grabbed the wood, threw it away from me and my thumb went straight to the bit.
All of that just to plug a drain hole in my basement. lol
Yeah that was massive stupid. If you gonna be stupid, dont post it, others will emulate you and get really hurt
With content like this, Tyler should easily have a million subs. Lets like and share guys, he deserves it!
Not so sure, I think it would have been more interesting to either see a video of fixing the car that appeared to be in perfect condition except for a computer or engine problem. Or that splicing rope with what looked like a purpose built needle, we used to splice large rope but we had to jury rig a threader and had to guide it through with a smaller rope which was threaded with a smaller needle made of wire.
Don't deserve nothing...
Agreed
I’d recommend using fins that flip out, basically backwards versions of the harpoon hooks, kinda like a sabot tank round’s stabilization fins.
They will also double to help stop the harpoon when it hits the door.
I'm just sitting here eating some pad Thai watching cool shenanigans then Destin comes out of nowhere "SNATCHBLOCK" 🤣 just about choked on my noodles lol.
Also, "upgraded from 3/4 to 2 inch valve"... Holy crap 😅
Great video man! Always really well done and cool projects 👌🏼👌🏼
⚠️Jumpscare warning⚠️
*SNATCH-BLOCK*
This is so well done. Engineering, execution, camera angles, editing. A lot of time and resources went into making this video and it shows.
A superior design would also have backwards barbs that open up as it is flying for a larger surface to grab and stop the harpoon midway through.
At 13:12 you could have been easily killed if the chain keeping the pulley failed 😂 great vid
Just wanted to say that. Not the best safe place to stand
0:39 "Ah, fiddlesticks, it didn't go through." Just such a nice guy he legitimately says fiddlesticks.
I mean 4:56.
Can't believe you wrecked that car. Looked really nice (before). Anyway nice video.
Your video's are like a special treat when you watch the video it's super fun but when its over its sad
Instead of a dyneema rope, I'd recommend trying a braided steel cable. It should have significantly higher abrasion resistance and tensile strength, with a smaller cross-sectional area, so should be much less affected by the air evacuating the cannon.
The problem he's facing is the harpoon stop plate is not allowing any air past the harpoon, so the harpoon catches up to the rope inside the barrel. With steel cable as it's very soft compared to the harpoon, it would twist and bend around the harpoon and end up blocking it inside the barrel.
The way to fix it is have the harpoon sticking out of the barrel.
A flexible rope is also less likely to cut you in half if it snaps
I don't know what has changed, but it looks like the production quality and editing is just getting better and better! Great video!
i love the determination on this, i fully expected the video to end with him saying “well i guess you can’t do that”, but in the end he got the door to rip off
Wow, you got so lucky on that rear door pull. Standing in the middle as those straps were tearing omg I felt goosebumps lol
I just shivered at that *foomp* sound that fit made, that's DEFINITELY made to fit perfectly.
What movie physics should I bust next?

6:09
Noooo
You harpooned it!😂
Kind of an amazingly perfect sponsor for this!
As a former firefighter. The door bolts are basically indestructible. They are ment to keep the door closed. There is a reason the "jaws of life" are hydraulic. Not much is going to open it else wise
Honestly just shows how safe modern cars are. The door can be bent to the point of being unrecognisable and yet the latch and hinge still hold up, and the car keeps its shape.
Videos like these is what makes the channel so unique.
And its a phenomenal morning started whit breakfast too.
Really amazing build but holy smokes I would not be standing there @13:12. Be careful man! Need to be able to see your future content
Tyler, the issue you're facing with the rope inside the barrel is the rope has nothing pulling it out of the barrel, so it tangles and disrupts the smooth flow of the harpoon inside the barrel.
Most harpoons combat this by having the harpoon sticking out of the barrel and attaching the rope to the end that sticks out. They also use a long loop along the shaft of the barrel so that the harpoon fires normally, and as it fully exits the barrel the loop ends and pulls the rope with it.
Another solution is using a hook on your stop plate to catch the rope, or perhaps a large washer type construction that the harpoon claws fit through but the stop plate catches it as it passes. Ropes attached each side to balance pulling load as a central pull would be impossible on a device with a large hole in the middle!
"SNATCHBLOCK!!!"
Pfffffffffhahahaha, this Destin cameo caught me totally off guard! 😂😂😂
This video reminds me of watching MythBusters. Good Job Tyler!
2:10 "I needed more barrel lenght"
Me too buddy, me too 🥲
I genuinely appreciate your phrases like holy smokes and fiddlesticks. Please come up with some more!
Epic as always Tyler - so freakin cool!
Thanks Ethan!
Something that hit me at the end, when you pointed out that you need a long barrel, is the fact that you made it so your harpoon had to be contained within the barrel. If you add a shaft at the back of the harpoon, you can fit it to a smaller, shorter barrel. It would work like a rifle grenade. It might also affect the issue you were having with the rope getting tangled, although I suspect it won't eliminate it.
I just found your channel and I. AM. LOVING this content!
wait, there's other nerds who love watching movies for the stunts to judge them, i miss dvds cause all action movies had a behind the scenes bit, that was legit my favourite part about em, my dream job growing up was to be one of the people engineering these mad contraptions and stunts, your content is soo cool cause it's basically that, but more in detail, just found your channel and I'm glad i did
Someone is going to be very very confused at the salvage yard
every time I'm reluctant to watch the video, because it's 15 minutes long, but man, the 15 minutes are justified. no bullshit, just content
You will be the new Mark Rober just give it a year or two!
That fist shot in big canon was AWESOME😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was bananas! Your videos just keep getting better!!
Very informative, I always wanted to test that myth! Seeing how easily doors come off in movies I felt that it was too easy 🤓🤓🤓
Destin: SNATCH BLOCK! Awesome video Tyler.
I wish I was this guys friend imagine how fun it would be seeing all the cool stuff he has
"Ah fiddlesticks!" is a great expression
I very recently found this channel and now I have the fear of when this guy goes off the deep end
New sub earned with this video. Random RUclips recommendation brought me here your video made me stay. Good stuff man
I’m extremely impressed with the door latches and extremely underwhelmed with the actual doors.
Remember people, if you’re ever being shot at, hide behind the front wheels. That puts the most metal between you and death. The whole engine block and wheels, suspension, and more.
they should just make a whole car out of door latches...
13:29 him "caressing" the torn sheet metal, got me thinking: dude, you're gonna cut yourself. But he had already, according to that bloody rag in his hand XD
Thank you for the sick beats during slow mo instead of those garbo sound effects people insist on using
It's amazing how cars held together with panel bond pass crash test safety. Modern engineering pretty neat, even if being as cheap as possible is the outcome
“Now that I knew it was possible to shoot a harpoon through a car door with a big enough air cannon” is a WILD thing to be able to say 😂
This was extremely fun to watch! Nicely done Tyler!!
I want to see someone wrap a cable around something, tie one end to a tree and on the other side tie to something to pull it. The cable straightening through whatever it is wrapped around should be pretty cool to watch.
Dude this video is so awesome! Love seeing your uploads pop up on my phone!
This was WAY more chaotic and fun than I expected! That cannon is a beast.
To get the rope to work, look at how they attach the fishing line to the arrow in bow fishing. Basically the line is attached to a slider that can slide the length of the arrow with a stop at the end
The a pillar shot was a great shot
Have to admit that's pretty awesome
goodness the hard cases for the hooks... production on this video is top tier and your budget is wild dude
I'm a locksmith and I actually rekeyed the SendCutSend location in Kentucky! Guys who work there are cool as hell! Definitely recommend using them for your fabrication needs!
You are so good ,you dont even have haters .
First vid ive seen you do, this is brilliant, your methods for the evolution of the dor wrecker were interesting to see and the reasons behind their failure were a huge nerd joy for me personally, it was deatructive and informative great stuff!
The bottle they're using in Fate of the Furious is dressed up as a NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) nitrous oxide bottle. If they are using nitrous rather than compressed air, those bottles are typically filled to 900-1000 psi, so it could actually be enough juice to send that harpoon through a car door!
Its crazy your channel only has 170k subs these videos are awesome you deserve much more.
This takes me back to watching mythbusters when they tested movie myths. Seeing if it’s possible to do it the intended way then doing what ever it takes to replicate the effect.
physical/pratical effects are soo much better then the virtual ones ngl
This kids good at what he does.
always excited for an upload
rope probably needs to be inside the barrel coiled up behind the projectile. Also, you could probably get a decent flip-open motion with the hooks using some strong magnets mounted at the base of the fins.
Also I think the stretchy snatch strap is actually counter-productive for safety in this case - given the hook is the most likely thing to fail, and not the rope, I think you're mostly risking turning the hook into a helluva projectile with a massive slingshot yeeting it yonder.
yo this is a hella underrated channel this idea is insane and cool
If nothing else this video throughly demonstrates how far car safety has come.
One method that may work a bit better would to create a less conventional design for the harpoon, almost like the drywall anchors that have four petals that spread out when the bolt is tightened down. The small teeth could then be put on the outside of the hinged arms to allow it to expand inside an area like the fender rather than requiring it to find room and a surface to extend the arms on this original design. Just a thought from a crazy engineering student :)
Cool videos, man.
You said "Fiddlestix"... and with that, I subscribed.
You guys are doing the lord’s work, and by the lord, I mean Adam Savage
Movies stunt engineering blows me away. Your story telling is superb as well!
Got to say this was enjoyable. Thanks
When I watch his videos I keep forgetting he’s this relatively small RUclipsr and I forget because the amount of editing and effort he puts into his videos is better than some channels with millions of subscribers
Great stuff! Your channel really is under-rated (relatively low subscribe count for the high level of quality in your videos). But I guess that's what happens when you're not just pumping out content to hit the algorithm.
Can't wait for the next installment!
There are actually safety thresholds that car makers have to meet on door hinges and latches. They have to be able to support a huge amount of weight to keep the doors closed in a crash, so what you're seeing is manufacturers doing their job. The doors are engineered to be impossible to pull off.
This channel is so underrated
Good to see you weren’t just looping the rope over a trailer ball. I’ve seen videos where those things snap off and turn into a 2” cannonball
I really think you should stand at a safer distance. While the force of the door and stuff was going in the woods, a snapping cable or something would swing right back at you. Be safe! Great test!
"SnatchBlock!!" got me so good
It's funny in the movies, the harpoon stops right after piercing the door. Rather than take the natural path, and keep going, right into the driver lol
one potential thought could be that the car that shot the harpoon was moving away, so after the harppon went through, it could have been pulled taught
@@Ethan54006 But that takes a lot of precision in both the harpoon mechanism and the driver to make it work so the result would be more likely to be like a Mortal Kombat finish move than an action movie harpoon.
Such an amazing video! Of course, you've totally ruined sooo many movies for me now! 😁 Great job of progressing thru the different experiments and showing the results (love the slow-mo!). Real life lesson: car doors don't stop harpoons or bullets. Love your videos so keep going! 👍
If there is somesort of tension system you can use for the rope or chord that can provide resistance so it flies behind the harpoon.
Sweet video! Would've be nice to have a quick backstory on the car you're destroying though lol, I assume it was already totaled...??
This is only the second video I’ve seen from your channel and I love the content I’m subed
Try 4-5 feet of wire rope attached to the harpoon, then dyneema rope the stiffness of wire rope might keep it from tangling up. Titanium is really expensive a cheaper option would be ar steel 400-500, although I don't know if cut send cut stocks ar.
2:47 It’s hard to tell for the observant eye, but I can confirm that the harpoon did indeed go through the car door.
It's a crime that this isn't titled "How to harpoon a door better than the movies" and have a thumbnail with Diesel's face reacting to the door ripping off
Found you via this video and instasubbed, and I'm mad at RUclips for not suggesting you earlier! Great stuff!
I like that old GMC COE in the background
And that old black truck
the unintended pun at 6:08 😂
goes to show how strong doors are and how much a part they are of the whole structure that protects the driver and passengers
