    OMG! 40 years ago a girlfriend convinced me to join her in an evening class where we made our own braided leather bullwhips from scratch. We started with tanned hides, sliced them, shaved them, dressed the strips to precise tapers, oiled then braided them. It took a team of two about 20 hours to make both whips. Then we got to learn various techniques, from gently capturing things (we learned to wrap our whip around a balloon without popping it), to wrapping hard enough to break things (my favorite was sidewalk chalk, which exploded).
    But the best part was learning to crack our whips. We started by simply rolling the loop of the whip down onto the floor, where it would snap when the tip smacked down. Then we gradually added more energy, a truly small amount at a time, until it started to crack in the air. Large, graceful motions that finished with a crack. Then we learned quicker moves that brought the snap a little closer in, where we learned to place it where we wanted it. I envied the folks who were ambidextrous with their whips, because my right arm was getting ready to fall off.
    We wanted to see if we could capture the motion of the whip by cracking it horizontally over sand, so a few of us took our whips to the beach and tried to crack the whip horizontally within an inch of the sand. Almost impossible to do, but once in a while we did notice a puff of sand happening well before the whip had reached full extension, from a part of the whip not in contact with the sand. If only...
    Fast forward 25 years, and I was on the team making a camera that could take 100,000 frames per second (the Redlake HG-100K). When the third alpha unit became the first to work at full speed, we searched for targets that would both test the camera and thrill Marketing. Popping a balloon wasn't nearly fast enough. I thought back to my days with the bullwhip, and we immediately went out and bought a few. Despite dumping a zillion lumens into the field of view, nothing useful came of it. (Clearly, using Schlieren photography and capturing the shockwave is crucial.)
    What we did wind up doing was pointing the camera at the HID bulb in an Epson video projector (torn from the ceiling of a conference room), where we captured the most amazing video of the arc wandering between the electrodes within the bulb envelope. We put a GIF of the sequence up on our website (this was before RUclips), which caused some small level of buzz online. The next morning we received phone calls from the Japanese executives of both Epson and Panasonic (the maker of the bulb). It turns out that arc wander was the primary factor limiting projector sharpness, so stabilizing the position of the arc was crucial to gaining any benefit from using higher-resolution LCDs. Two days later they were in our offices for a demo, and left an awesome pile of money behind when they departed with our very first beta unit. Their problem was that high-speed film limited the rate of innovation to one test run per day, with the film developed overnight: Our camera allowed them to do a dozen runs every day, leaping their R&D further ahead of the competition.
    You may have noticed I mentioned we had to go out and buy some bullwhips. My treasured handmade bullwhip had disintegrated within a year of making it: Evidently, the tanning process used on the leather wasn't compatible with the oil we applied to it. It sure was fun while it lasted.
    Now you two have got me wanting to make another one!

      Einsteins papers were too hard for even the greatest scientists of his day so I really doubt he would make videos when nobody would be able to follow his reasoning. When a journalist asked the British astronomer Sir Arthur Edding­ton if it was true that he was one of only three people in the world who could understand Einstein’s relativity theories, Eddington con­sidered deeply for a moment and replied: “I am trying to think who the third person is.” - B. Bryson
      Today the theory of relativity has been watered down so more people can understand it but if you go deeper to the more advanced stuff you will realise that its extremely unintuitive and very few people would actually comprehend it completely. There are websites like research gate which are suited for scientific papers. Einstein would be wasting his time on youtube.
      This video right here is baby physics compared to what Einstein did.

    I hypothesise that the knot that helps to start the force of the air breaking, leading the waves, is just enough mass change in a quick transition towards the end of that whip that is the ultimate catalyst, seeing as how the wave suddenly goes from very little mass to a sizable addition of mass, and the frayed ends are trying to catch up to the equilibriam of pressure exerted by the wave as the sound barrier is broken.

    The guy in the wierd suit is part of a celebration in Southern Germany. It is called 'Alemannische Fasnet'. In this tradition, people gather every spring around February for parades. The people in the parades usually wear historical costumes. Part of this custom is to make a lot of noise with bells, ratchets and sometimes also with whips.

    I agree that the hypersonic movement is caused by the acceleration of the tip and that the acceleration is caused by conservation of momentum and the decreasing diameter (or, more exactly, mass density) of the whip along its length toward the tip. But I think the acceleration is still high even if the diameter or density is constant along the length of the whip. This is because of the following fact.
    At any time during whipping, we can devide the whip into two parts the upper part (near the tip) and the lower part (near the hand). The main momentum is generated by only the upper part because the lower part is almost stationary during whipping. Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the upper part has to speed up because the length (and mass) is decreasing during whipping. The rate of relative decrease of mass of upper part is, in fact, accelerating toward the end of the whipping process, which results in accelerating rate of relative increase of the speed.

    I liked this video, at 8 mins 25 seconds when I realized how the whip looks like it holding the shock wave like it was a ball , and the Shockwave got bigger the further it traveled the whip. And it wasn't until the tip of the whip started coming out of loop at the end . The force behind the whip loop grew stronger and then there wasn't enough whip material left at the beginning of the shock wave to hold back that collection of energy from the speed f the whip. I looked at the Shockwave as it's water and you could cast out a tarp into water . And pulling in the tarp is the same has the whip being extended, so as the whipped travel in the air it collected energy in the from of are atmosphere atoms of oxygen an nitrogen. But the whip velocity and it material is able to pick up enough atmosphere particles at the beginning of the Shockwave released all those atmospheric particle and a high speed which is what creates the Shockwave it's self , cause you need sometype of substance there to be big enough and fast enough to break the atoms in the atmosphere apart.

So I thought it would be cute to pretend that I was going to “whip” it at her. With a lazy motion I whipped the towel towards her but unfortunately that towel conserved energy perfectly. The crack was so loud that I am pretty sure it broke the sound barrier and left A bruise on her bottom even through her jeans. And with all that we were still married a few years later and have been for over 18 years. 😄

      Growing up, my brothers and I routinely had battles in the kitchen with cotton tea towels (no idea what you'd call them in the States, we used them for drying dishes). The ones with a fringe on the end cracked better, though the cotton weave disintegrated fairly quickly with repeated abuse. You really didn't want to cop a loud one on bare skin, it would raise quite a welt!
      Great for taking down flies, though... :-D

    As a whip maker and instructor, this is the coolest video you could have put out! Thank you! One thing we've noticed is that different popper materials and fluff length actually change the tone of the sound - to be sharper or duller. It would be amazing if you were able to explain that using this new model!

    Great video! I recently learned how to crack a whip. The other day it was pretty cold, and I cracked it. My brother and I both saw a little cloud of condensation near where the crack started. The only explanation we can think of is that it was a small vapour cone, like at the nose of a fighter jet. If you plan to do another video about whip dynamics, it would be incredible if you mentioned that, and looked into it a bit more. (I would, but I don't have access to the same sort of setup as you)

    Undergrad Physics classes in 2007 were teaching about this. Essentially the tension on the string approaches infinity as the wave tries to propagate but doesn't have any more length to propagate into, resulting in a massive acceleration.

    There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment.
    It occurred when Walt and I were flying our final training sortie. We needed 100 hours in the jet to complete our training and attain Mission Ready status. Somewhere over Colorado we had passed the century mark. We had made the turn in Arizona and the jet was performing flawlessly. My gauges were wired in the front seat and we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves, not only because we would soon be flying real missions but because we had gained a great deal of confidence in the plane in the past ten months. Ripping across the barren deserts 80,000 feet below us, I could already see the coast of California from the Arizona border. I was, finally, after many humbling months of simulators and study, ahead of the jet.
    I was beginning to feel a bit sorry for Walter in the back seat. There he was, with no really good view of the incredible sights before us, tasked with monitoring four different radios. This was good practice for him for when we began flying real missions, when a priority transmission from headquarters could be vital. It had been difficult, too, for me to relinquish control of the radios, as during my entire flying career I had controlled my own transmissions. But it was part of the division of duties in this plane and I had adjusted to it. I still insisted on talking on the radio while we were on the ground, however. Walt was so good at many things, but he couldn't match my expertise at sounding smooth on the radios, a skill that had been honed sharply with years in fighter squadrons where the slightest radio miscue was grounds for beheading. He understood that and allowed me that luxury.
    Just to get a sense of what Walt had to contend with, I pulled the radio toggle switches and monitored the frequencies along with him. The predominant radio chatter was from Los Angeles Center, far below us, controlling daily traffic in their sector. While they had us on their scope (albeit briefly), we were in uncontrolled airspace and normally would not talk to them unless we needed to descend into their airspace.
    We listened as the shaky voice of a lone Cessna pilot asked Center for a readout of his ground speed. Center replied: "November Charlie 175, I'm showing you at ninety knots on the ground."
    Now the thing to understand about Center controllers, was that whether they were talking to a rookie pilot in a Cessna, or to Air Force One, they always spoke in the exact same, calm, deep, professional, tone that made one feel important. I referred to it as the " Houston Center voice." I have always felt that after years of seeing documentaries on this country's space program and listening to the calm and distinct voice of the Houston controllers, that all other controllers since then wanted to sound like that, and that they basically did. And it didn't matter what sector of the country we would be flying in, it always seemed like the same guy was talking. Over the years that tone of voice had become somewhat of a comforting sound to pilots everywhere. Conversely, over the years, pilots always wanted to ensure that, when transmitting, they sounded like Chuck Yeager, or at least like John Wayne. Better to die than sound bad on the radios.
    Just moments after the Cessna's inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on frequency, in a rather superior tone, asking for his ground speed. "I have you at one hundred and twenty-five knots of ground speed." Boy, I thought, the Beechcraft really must think he is dazzling his Cessna brethren. Then out of the blue, a navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Lemoore came up on frequency. You knew right away it was a Navy jock because he sounded very cool on the radios. "Center, Dusty 52 ground speed check". Before Center could reply, I'm thinking to myself, hey, Dusty 52 has a ground speed indicator in that million-dollar cockpit, so why is he asking Center for a readout? Then I got it, ol' Dusty here is making sure that every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed is. He's the fastest dude in the valley today, and he just wants everyone to know how much fun he is having in his new Hornet. And the reply, always with that same, calm, voice, with more distinct alliteration than emotion: "Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground."
    And I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what? As my hand instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt was in control of the radios. Still, I thought, it must be done - in mere seconds we'll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost. That Hornet must die, and die now. I thought about all of our Sim training and how important it was that we developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming. I was torn.
    Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: "Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. "Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground."
    I think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice: "Ah, Center, much thanks, we're showing closer to nineteen hundred on the money."
    For a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the armor of the Houston Center voice, when L.A.came back with, "Roger that Aspen, Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a good one."
    It all had lasted for just moments, but in that short, memorable sprint across the southwest, the Navy had been flamed, all mortal airplanes on freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly, Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew. A fine day's work. We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast.
    For just one day, it truly was fun being the fastest guys out there.
