@Zalied yes that's true, even though they make sure that everyone will be as safe as they can. You kind of forget that they still try to do the craziest things lol.
The reflection of the cracks in the glass is due to the fact that the frame has a much larger elastic deformation range than the glass. The force that causes the glass to crack bends the frame (very slightly) like a leaf spring. The frame recoils, sending the force back into the glass. The bottom corners don't crack much because there is less bending stress there. The bottom of the window frame supports the glass like a beam. Beams like this tend to have the highest bending stress in the middle, with negligible bending stress at the edges.
Gav and Dan have possibly the greatest collab success rate ever. Their champagne uncorking video with Rhett and Link years ago was absolutely incredible. Just great, natural chemistry with everyone they meet.
The Slowmoguys & HR might just go to down as the best collaborations in all of RUclips history. I literally could not stop smiling throughout this entire video.
The comedic chemistry between the Aussies on one hand and the Brits on the other was just remarkable. Everyone was funny, but together they were greater than the sum of their parts 😆
The banter between us Brits and Aussies never fails to make me laugh. Truly our brothers from the other side of the world. The cannon crew were top notch too. Clearly very knowledgeable and loved their jobs. All round a brilliant video.
These two channels coming together feels so very natural, as if y'all had been mates for years all together... great fun to watch, do more of it please! =)
Science behind the bending cracks in the glass. The glass is stabilized on the edges of the frame, and there is surface tension on the edge of the glass, which is greater than the decreased tension due to the existing glass breakage. The cracks therefore travel along the path of least resistance, rather than out to the edge of the glass. This type of spider web cracking is called cleavage cracking, and where the longer cracks formed after deflecting from the stronger edge of the glass is where the glass was weakest to begin with.
@@brad2751 Okay, the necessary charge to fire two of the bowling balls was sufficient to create enough kickback from the discharge of the gunpowder and bowling balls to force the cannon backwards following an arc equal to the 1/3(2pir) where r is the length of the cannon to the mounting point. Since the canon is locked in position, that kickback had nowhere to go, so the energy and force was pushed into the frame of the Jeep at the mounting point. The force produced exceeded the tensile and compressive strength of the underlying steel frame, causing it to bend or buckle. Given the age of the Jeep used, it's likely the steel has weakened overtime. In effect the canon acted like a can crusher. The canon itself was a fixed lever.
I tell you what, the chemistry with everyone there was amazing. You guys look like you all got along famously. More videos in the future! Yearly Montana trips!
I feel Shaun deserved a bit more credit on the results of that final shot. That sitch was all surprises and there was a lot to get distracted by, but he kinda called it.
The thing is, this is WOVEN fiberglass, whereas boats I believe are made just like showers, where it's layers consisting of random fibers. However, I won't deny that he wasn't wrong in a sense! They did not *penetrate* the fiberglass. Although, they did *_defeat_* it! Definitely would've been interesting to see what the results would be with the fiberglass being secured better. Can't fault the door maker though, as conventional bullets simply lack the kinetic energy to do what the bowling balls did. 😅
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE it depends on the type of boat, but you're right that the boats Shaun (sorry if I misspell his name) was probably thinking of are likely not made of woven fibreglass. Then again, that's not what he claimed - he merely mentioned that the fibreglass he was thinking of is extremely strong. Little did he know that the fibreglass in this door would be even stronger. The material getting torn out of the door was mainly the result of the delayed impact of the second ball - it's almost a shame that they put the second ball in, I'm convinced the door would have stopped a single one, probably no different if they'd used an aluminium one either (since I expect the weight to be similar). Shooting a single bowling ball at the hull of a small recreational fishing boat, and perhaps a couple of surfboards might be nice to further explore the strength of fibreglass materials :).
I simply love how there was no convincing needed when you asked if you could fire two balls. It's such a ridiculous thing but I love this collab and was genuinely fascinated by the results. Thanks!
Caught me off guard too. A little confused why they didn't mention it at all, wondered if this was an accidental tilt-shift result or this was purposefully done. Looked great either way.
These joint ventures are superb. Please do more of them. I seem to remember some years ago we got together with the Canadians and New Zealanders. Bloody good bunch of blokes right where and when they are needed most. Best YT videos for months.
Adding a second ball didn't add any extra energy to the blast, the jeep was going to buckle anyway. Its very likely the many rounds over the whole day (in the other video there was quite a few shots) and the one overcharge they did in the other video probably stress fractured the jeep's frame. Also if they had only done 1 ball the fiber glass would have 100% captured that single ball.
@@BlueScreenCorpAdding an extra ball didn't add extra energy no, but it did add extra _recoil._ I.e., it increased the amount of energy that went into the jeep instead of the balls.
@@BlueScreenCorpQuick search shows that the mass of the projectile affects the recoil, so the second bowling ball added more recoil and therefore more stress on the chassis for the jeep.
i guess he meant to say that it feels like they have been working on this channel together for ages...... And so, it does not feel like it is a collab. Some collabs are horrible to watch. The chemistry is not there. The people do not know what they want to talk about with eachother. Nothing rehearsed. Just a bunch of content creators coming together in a video acting like crazy. This on the other hand feels like if they have been working together ever since the birth of this channel. Capici? @@christianellegaard7120
Noy about boats not breaking. That one sub was made if fiberglass lol. Could been cause the double ball too, cause it splits the kinetic energy between them
Technically the fiberglass held up. If the fiberglass wasn't ripped out of the frame it would have caught it. That is however assuming they only loaded one ball worth of charge so the ball is technically half the power coming out since the energy is split between the mass of both balls. If they doubled the charge, could explain the jeep folding lol, then thats pretty impressive of that door. Unlike glass or polycarbonate that shatter, fiber glass can bend and draw out more energy from the ball.
When adding the second cannonball you need to significantly reduce the powder load since the extra inertia will increase the pressure inside the cannon significantly. They were lucky that the cannon was overbuilt and didn't explode.
The most amazing (and concerning) thing about all of this is how consistently and drastically everyone underestimates the forces involved here. This applies to their trampoline video too.
I completely agree. I'm not a physics expert or rocket surgeon, but I've seen some things and that thing is terrifying. I don't think these guys really understand the forces (and potential forces) at work here. Seeing the "breech plug" (blind flange bolted on with half the bolts) and watching him light the cannon fuze with his head in the muzzle really gave me the willies.
The tilt-shift photography with the drone footage making it look like a tiny toy when you you know it's actually a full-sized Willis Wrangler blasting a cannon ball is AWESOME. Edit: @3:06
I'm trying to figure out what it is about that shot that makes my brain think it's a toy setup. It's something to do with the lighting and focus, but it does become much more pronounced when in motion.
The show Dollhouse used this effect with broad cityscapes in the title sequence. I like it too. It's called the miniature effect, miniature faking, or diorama illusion, for those who'd like to learn more.
I love tilt shift photography, it's such a simple trick yet so effective at fooling the eye. I've seen some tilt shift photos where I would barely convince myself that it was NOT toys
The little "flashes of light" we see in slo-mo is the energy of the synthetic materials stretching expressed in heat/light energy as the ball is punching through.
Yeah, you guys are awesome. Please keep this up. No matter how much a person enjoys what they do, if people love it as much as we do, it is legit work. Keep up the great work, everyone!
@@robertbarnum7541 have you been to eastern Montana? I can’t tell which part, but when they say “Big Sky” country you get really do “BIG SKY” country. I lived in Great Falls, very beautiful, seen many parts of Montana many times.
So fitting that the Aussies bring the personality, the Brits bring the nerdy tech, and the Americans bring the giant, loud Jeep-mounted bowling ball cannon.
That light is from the piezoelectric qualities of glass making light when hit at that velocity. Notice that it only happened on the glass fronted pane.
I know there is only limited amount of their collabs right now but I hope they come together again soon cause their chemistry and banter is so cheerfully fun to watch
And converting inches to millimiters on the fly. The fact that he approximated it to a quarter of a millimiter is bonkers. That had to be scripted or something.
That's Ridiculous are the designers and The Slowmoguys are the kinetics ballistics team. GREAT joint effort. The fiberglass door was impressive. You can see exactly how all of the flexion dynamics are working. Great shots! Hope the Jeep is ok.
Love it ❤ When an object hits bullet proof glass in a frame, the impact creates stress waves that spread through the glass. When the object hits, it compresses the glass at the point of impact, creating tension around the edges. The stress waves then travel through the glass, causing it to crack along the path of least resistance, which often leads to cracks propagating downwards from the point of impact. The cracks move along the sides of the frame due to the way stress is distributed within the glass, following the structural pattern and often extending downwards as the tension and stress release along this path.
i love that these recent videos are more of s return to form for you guys, i love when you guys introduce the video but then we spend some time with you just chatting and goofing around before getting to the craziness. While i do love the highjinks you three get up to i also come for the general "shoot the sh!t" dynamic between you. I guess what i'm saying is, love your vids and love experiencing your friendship though these vids. Also bonus point for having the slomo guys
Brits not giving Aussies all the words was one of the funniest jokes I've heard in a very long time. Watched the two HR vids back-to-back and a very good time was had. Off to see the guys destroy a human mockup, now.
I love how the Slow-Mo Guys and HR banter but they each have their little cultural quirks. Slow-Mo guys are very dry and quippy while HR are very goofy and fun and then the Montanans are all like “hell yeah! Put as many projectiles in the cannon as possible!”
I’m sure you have had a number of people answer. But the reason the cracks merged at the bottom is that when the glass is being flexed, it becomes the weakest point and the crack follows that weakest point. Amazing video! Hopefully I can make videos half this engaging! Best to you all!!
Lots of fun to watch. Regarding the fiberglass door. 1st ball plowed thru the first layer then got caught up on the fiberglass layer that was bending over which significantly slowed and lifted (or deflected?) the first ball upward from initial trajectory. The second ball came in behind the first ball while remaining on initial trajectory struck the first ball, which was now higher and slower, so struck it below the trajectory centerline and then continued on moving faster thus passing it by while the first ball, being struck from below was lofted into an arc significantly deviating from the initial trajectory.
I watched that thing several times because it absolutely looked like they recreated it in model. The huge chunks of glass plopping around are the biggest things that kept making me think "nah, that's a bit of salt thrown around; no way that's real". Awesome.
Another How Ridiculous/Slo Mo Guys video? Whaaat? So much fun! Total props to you all - my wife and I enjoy all your videos. Great to hear Derek will be able to meet Gav and Dan. Thanks for all the great fun you guys!
12:20 The shock wave of the impact had already hit the side of the glass frame and was bouncing back towards the center, when the first expanding wave then collided with the reflected wave, and it created a zone of interference that turned into a waffle cone of cracks. The filmed footage is particularly good at catching it. You can do a much less violent simulation in a bathtub or particularly small pool, using ripple waves that bounce off its sides.
Another explanation is that the glass becomes concave due to the impact and bends inwards. As the cracks take the path of least resistance, they actually follow a curved path (a straight line along a curved surface is curved).
12:06 The cracks appear to go down and the retract, that looks insane! I'm guessing it's the glass moving/shaking and slightly moving the glass back into perfect alignment so you can't see the light diffraction caused by the breakage, although I'm pretty smooth so who knows.
18:00 This was like a double bounce on a trampoline or the blob at a Waterpark. The first one was down in the fiberglass and the second one quickly straightened out the fiberglass like a blanket
@@alanhinkel420 why not? Both balls only had horizontal velocity components. The second ball slowed down because it transferred some of its horizontal velocity into vertical velocity for the first ball.
@@alanhinkel420 I saw a few things in the video that make me think that is not what happened. First, if the balls collided, then neither ball could continue traveling in a straight line because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In order for one ball to be pushed up in a direct collision, the other must be pushed down. Think billiards or pool ball; without spin the cue ball never continues along the same path as before the collision. At 13:25 13:36 and 14:17 we can see one ball has a big yellow spot and the other ball does not. At 15:03 we can see he puts his hand on the yellow ball first, which implies it was loaded into the barrel first, thus is the second ball. We can see for sure that the yellow is the second ball at 18:00 and 18:20. At those two times we can also see that the yellow ball continues straight and the ball that is launched upwards does not have any yellow on it. Also, the explanation given at 18:06 is very similar to what I'm explaining. 18:22 "The second one comes in and bounces off the fiberglass."
Hi from Germany! I find it extra hilarious you're talking crap to the US viewers while also bantering with each other, English speakers discussing the English language is always great fun

The tilt-shift photography with the drone footage making it look like a tiny toy when you you know it's actually a full-sized Willis Wrangler blasting a cannon ball is AWESOME.
Edit: @3:06
I'm trying to figure out what it is about that shot that makes my brain think it's a toy setup. It's something to do with the lighting and focus, but it does become much more pronounced when in motion.
@@kindlini think its the blur on the edges on the frame, which makes it look like its being filmed through a magnifying glass or something
Kind of an optical illusion isn’t it, pretty cool
That tilt-shifted drone shot at 3:06 is beautiful. *chefs kiss*
Can we appreciate how the drone shots make it look like a diorama. I love this affect and i want to see more of it.
The show Dollhouse used this effect with broad cityscapes in the title sequence. I like it too. It's called the miniature effect, miniature faking, or diorama illusion, for those who'd like to learn more.
I just commented saying this, makes it look like a toy 🤣
It's called tilt shift, you can achieve it with special lens (literally tilt-shifted) or in post production with simple blur tool.
I love tilt shift photography, it's such a simple trick yet so effective at fooling the eye. I've seen some tilt shift photos where I would barely convince myself that it was NOT toys
Loved that tilt-shift effect drone shot - nice work editor Jack
was boutta comment this
I second this motion!
The little "flashes of light" we see in slo-mo is the energy of the synthetic materials stretching expressed in heat/light energy as the ball is punching through.
These collabs with Gav and Dan are just top notch; interactions are so natural and hilarious
Oh, it's "Gav". I thought it said "Gay".
Love the banter between everyone. Hopefully HR and Slomo can do another epic collaboration in the future.
Bring the SloMo Guys out to the tower.
good thing they filmed this before the world cup, otherwise Gav & Dan would be getting a lot of stick that 95% of americans wouldn't understand
Yeah, you guys are awesome. Please keep this up. No matter how much a person enjoys what they do, if people love it as much as we do, it is legit work. Keep up the great work, everyone!
Seeing him drive away at the end still smiling haha. What a cool guy
There is something dangerous about getting the Yanks, Brits and Aussies together. But its fun as hell. Do more collaborations.
It's like the Three Stooges with explosives.
@@akaraven66good one
There was barely enough room in Montana for this crew.
@@robertbarnum7541 have you been to eastern Montana? I can’t tell which part, but when they say “Big Sky” country you get really do “BIG SKY” country. I lived in Great Falls, very beautiful, seen many parts of Montana many times.
So fitting that the Aussies bring the personality, the Brits bring the nerdy tech, and the Americans bring the giant, loud Jeep-mounted bowling ball cannon.
That light is from the piezoelectric qualities of glass making light when hit at that velocity. Notice that it only happened on the glass fronted pane.
This collab balances everything out. This was a treat. The cherry on top was the folding cherry Jeep. Appreciate if a few more would come this way!
I know there is only limited amount of their collabs right now but I hope they come together again soon cause their chemistry and banter is so cheerfully fun to watch
And converting inches to millimiters on the fly. The fact that he approximated it to a quarter of a millimiter is bonkers. That had to be scripted or something.
14:22. Dude you missed the perfect opportunity to say "Yea and pirates used cannons to destroy boats".
10:06 "that is a nice hole.. that is clean" probably the sussiest line i have heard on how ridiculous
Lots of fun to watch, you guys are all absolutely nuts, don't ever change!! Loved this!!
That aerial shot made it look like a miniature toy set up 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it that way.
Very sure It was done on purpose in post? Tilt shift effect
Tilt shift.
Thank you!!! Ya I was so confused!!!!!
I’m so glad someone else thought this. I literally went back and paused it thinking for some reason they created a miniature version
That's Ridiculous are the designers and The Slowmoguys are the kinetics ballistics team. GREAT joint effort. The fiberglass door was impressive. You can see exactly how all of the flexion dynamics are working. Great shots! Hope the Jeep is ok.
Love it ❤
When an object hits bullet proof glass in a frame, the impact creates stress waves that spread through the glass. When the object hits, it compresses the glass at the point of impact, creating tension around the edges. The stress waves then travel through the glass, causing it to crack along the path of least resistance, which often leads to cracks propagating downwards from the point of impact. The cracks move along the sides of the frame due to the way stress is distributed within the glass, following the structural pattern and often extending downwards as the tension and stress release along this path.
As a brit I absolutely love aussies and I love seeing them having a laugh with other brits.
Like two far off cousins 😂
And all happening in America 🤣
Well i mean since Australia was an island used for prisoners by Britain yall kinda are 🤣
THE DRONE!!
The drone footage of the first shot looks like a hot-wheels setup... and then it actually shoots. Love It
i love that these recent videos are more of s return to form for you guys, i love when you guys introduce the video but then we spend some time with you just chatting and goofing around before getting to the craziness. While i do love the highjinks you three get up to i also come for the general "shoot the sh!t" dynamic between you. I guess what i'm saying is, love your vids and love experiencing your friendship though these vids. Also bonus point for having the slomo guys
Could not agree more, hope they see this comment! I loved the banter and dialouge, it's what I needed 🙏🏻
Brits not giving Aussies all the words was one of the funniest jokes I've heard in a very long time.
Watched the two HR vids back-to-back and a very good time was had. Off to see the guys destroy a human mockup, now.
You guys have such a natural and entertaining chemistry together, love it, didnt skip a second.
I like the cooperation between you all. Need more of that ❤
I love how the Slow-Mo Guys and HR banter but they each have their little cultural quirks. Slow-Mo guys are very dry and quippy while HR are very goofy and fun and then the Montanans are all like “hell yeah! Put as many projectiles in the cannon as possible!”
The perfect mix of British, Australian and American.
It's the best combination of British, Australian, and American humor lol
Slo Mo guys are smarter than HR.
I love how excited Craig and Sean are with it all they’re having the time of their lives
This was truly a chance of a life time. So glad so many are loving it.
8:13 im blown away by the little firework display that sparks outwards in that shot
Gaunson: “My…like… word amounts is growing.” (3:22)
Apparently the word “vocabulary” isn’t in his vocabulary. 😂
I’m sure you have had a number of people answer. But the reason the cracks merged at the bottom is that when the glass is being flexed, it becomes the weakest point and the crack follows that weakest point.
Amazing video! Hopefully I can make videos half this engaging! Best to you all!!
Lots of fun to watch. Regarding the fiberglass door. 1st ball plowed thru the first layer then got caught up on the fiberglass layer that was bending over which significantly slowed and lifted (or deflected?) the first ball upward from initial trajectory. The second ball came in behind the first ball while remaining on initial trajectory struck the first ball, which was now higher and slower, so struck it below the trajectory centerline and then continued on moving faster thus passing it by while the first ball, being struck from below was lofted into an arc significantly deviating from the initial trajectory.
My fav video in awhile. Loved the energy with you guys and the slo-mo guys!
The synergy in this series is world-class!
John’s enthusiastic “YES!!” at hearing two bowling balls are going in the cannon is the energy for the whole video!!
You guys collabing are literally a match made in heaven. What a great video.
Not literally.
The tiltshift on the jeep near the three minute mark was sublime.
I watched that thing several times because it absolutely looked like they recreated it in model. The huge chunks of glass plopping around are the biggest things that kept making me think "nah, that's a bit of salt thrown around; no way that's real". Awesome.
I feel a little proud that some Aussies and Brits had to come to the U.S. to blast what is essentially a DIY howitzer.
Another How Ridiculous/Slo Mo Guys video? Whaaat? So much fun! Total props to you all - my wife and I enjoy all your videos. Great to hear Derek will be able to meet Gav and Dan. Thanks for all the great fun you guys!
I just love Brit and Aussie interactions. And these guys really nail that.
So much chaos and so much fun. I love all these collabs we're getting!
we really need more of this collab :D
These guys have so much fun together, what a great job.
I love how the drone shots make it look like a toy car
12:20 The shock wave of the impact had already hit the side of the glass frame and was bouncing back towards the center, when the first expanding wave then collided with the reflected wave, and it created a zone of interference that turned into a waffle cone of cracks. The filmed footage is particularly good at catching it. You can do a much less violent simulation in a bathtub or particularly small pool, using ripple waves that bounce off its sides.
My thoughts exactly.
Another explanation is that the glass becomes concave due to the impact and bends inwards. As the cracks take the path of least resistance, they actually follow a curved path (a straight line along a curved surface is curved).
Also seeing the shockwave ahead of the ball before the ball even hit the glass right at the 12:04 mark is pretty sweet too.
12:06 The cracks appear to go down and the retract, that looks insane! I'm guessing it's the glass moving/shaking and slightly moving the glass back into perfect alignment so you can't see the light diffraction caused by the breakage, although I'm pretty smooth so who knows.
18:00 This was like a double bounce on a trampoline or the blob at a Waterpark. The first one was down in the fiberglass and the second one quickly straightened out the fiberglass like a blanket
It might have looked like that but it didn’t act like that.
@@alanhinkel420 why not? Both balls only had horizontal velocity components. The second ball slowed down because it transferred some of its horizontal velocity into vertical velocity for the first ball.
@@1234567890CAB The second ball glanced off the first ball causing it to go up.
@@alanhinkel420 I saw a few things in the video that make me think that is not what happened. First, if the balls collided, then neither ball could continue traveling in a straight line because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In order for one ball to be pushed up in a direct collision, the other must be pushed down. Think billiards or pool ball; without spin the cue ball never continues along the same path as before the collision. At 13:25 13:36 and 14:17 we can see one ball has a big yellow spot and the other ball does not. At 15:03 we can see he puts his hand on the yellow ball first, which implies it was loaded into the barrel first, thus is the second ball. We can see for sure that the yellow is the second ball at 18:00 and 18:20. At those two times we can also see that the yellow ball continues straight and the ball that is launched upwards does not have any yellow on it. Also, the explanation given at 18:06 is very similar to what I'm explaining. 18:22 "The second one comes in and bounces off the fiberglass."
Hi from Germany! I find it extra hilarious you're talking crap to the US viewers while also bantering with each other, English speakers discussing the English language is always great fun
That tilt-shifted shot at 3:06 made me want a How Ridiculous video game. I want to set up these insane projects and challenges in a lightweight virtual sandbox
Bro... you are on to somehting here lol
So, teardown then...
@@lionllew6601 no like the shot at 3:06
