Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid?
Also, thank you to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon. I really appreciate it. www.patreon.com/smartereveryday
SmarterEveryDay It’s New Year’s I’m staying up all night because I’m a crazy person but also it’s not really healthy so yeah well anyway happy New Year’s to you and everyone else that’s reading this comment.
Happy New Year! This video was one of the most exciting - especially for a baseball fan!
Also baseball is one of my favorite sports besides football
Why would you upload it two minutes before the ball drop?
13:11 that perfect knock! And Babe Ruth because of Sandlot, lol! 😄⚾️💖
Also, Happy New Year to you and the family, Destin! Thank you for helping to make me smarter everyday! 🥳🧠💖

@@mewantsnax8885 that'd be pretty amazing considering it has bats instead of rotor blades.
@@mewantsnax8885 well it was jumping when the bat broke.
Great weapon for an apocalypse. Stand on top and let the zeds walk into it, babe Ruth can hit balls, you can hit skulls for the fences
@@redrolo149 Don't land it anywhere near a base ball field, you know what could happen.
I was there and I still couldn't wait to watch the results and hear that amazing sound again. This was just so awesome!
Great job, man. Loved this... Experiment!
Great work Jeremy and who helped
Dude, you all are crazy! That was amazing! Well done!
What a start for 2020
Glad you guys were protected. There's no way plywood would protect anyone from that.
I wasnt there, and i was terrified and flinching a bit whenever the machine spun up
I'm always like "stop being so careful, man! Have some guts and go crazy" on his experiments.
But this one is the first time I was like "slow down man, you can really mess up this time!"
Awesome
9:55 Thank you for providing slow motion footage that actually lets you watch frame by frame at 1080p60. Most slow motion on youtube can only be played at 30 fps or less.
13:10 I like to imagine the machine didn’t break it just celebrated and tossed its bat after seeing it just hit a homer
Then it realizes it has to touch all the bases and actually breaks down (crying).

I'm way to late commenting on this video but just going through some older video's I haven't watched. Great content and your excitement for what you do is great. Also, Skunk Works is an AMAZING book, highly recommend for anyone.
The Aussies on “How Ridiculous” hit a base ball with a “Bat-Copter” 826ft!
"Go seventy-five percent!"
"Seventy-five?"
"Nah, just do it, man! Go all the way!"
That is the correct response.
Followed by, "Did we break it?"
Full send always
Could also double as famous last words.
IT'S OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!!
FULL SEND
This is legit one of the scariest things I’ve seen Destin do. I’m glad he upgraded the pitcher’s protection!
He really coulda just tossed the ball into the spin from right behind it
@Robert Hillen Be glad the bat didnt hit him.
Balls would 50/50 kill him, bats would explode him. That's basically a cannonball.
It sounded like a helicopter, also they need to put some concrete blocks in the housing of the motor to reduce the vibrations. It was shaky.
My heart rate rose as the bats kept spinning faster and faster in the intro. That didn't sound like that thin piece of wood could protect against failure.
Hi, I appreciate the bats are not shaped anything like a helicopter blade but the visual and audio of the bats spinning… in my gut I expected the machine to lift off 😁🤓.
I watch this video every so often and with a big dumb grin on my face every time. Thank you for that. Also this makes me want to see even more videos making baseballs go crazy distances whether hit my the mad batter machine, the air cannon, or a stuffmadehere creation. Thank you so much Destin and team for all of your videos these past years.

Best comment of the year!
11:09 "if you play center field, listen to how hard this thing is hit"
As someone who played center field, I actually jumped at that sound. That is absolutely terrifying.
dude turn the sound up! I think that hit at 11:09 was a one hopper from the infield dirt the outfield fence in a half second!! so psycho!!
Crazy
This had me howling in laughter at the memories of high school when we did something similar for a project.
Thank you so much for sharing this! xD

And that’s saying something when the year’s just begun.
@@khodibritton8368 Things that are dangerous are more fun :-)
If you are hiding behind a steel grate
With the engineering and power behind this rig to go about 700 ft, it really validates how incredibly skillful pro baseball players that go yard at much lower velocities are

Appoxo Although the took the risk once and it could of proven fatal. Please don’t play around with your life Destin.
That was the first thing I thought when I heard 250 mph bat speed, and saw that guard they made. I have seen those long drive guys put 200 mph golf balls through that with ease. A baseball at over 250 mph would would go through that like buck shot through drywall. I would only get behind thick lexan or sand bags. Not even sure about concrete blocks.
Me: Well, that’s a cool rig.
*Rig starts making Helicopter noises*
Me: 😳
Was so hoping the unit would lift off the ground.
@@chrish5224 unfortunately that is not how aerodynamics works :(
@@sorrenzz3610 Trust me, a bit of photoshop and after effects can fix that.
@@TheWildChildJr yep

that ball exposed the matrix
That is probably the old map, the new one got a new patch for higher skybox
Best comment xd
You know it’s fast when it’s starts sounding like a helicopter.
well yes since the bats are hitting/touching the air molecules therefore making those sounds (Im not so sure, thats my depiction)
Then it starts to fly off
Lol
and then it looks like its spinning the other way
You mean when it sounds like a ps4
Jeez! First time I've ever seen a baseball rise like a golfball! haha
13:11 Wish they added the Team Rocket ding as it flew off in to the distance.
Everybody gangsta till the machine starts taking off
Cue the Terminator soundtrack.
Oof. Shoulda said lifting off.

In '61 or '62, Frank Howard was reputed to have hit a 602 ft home run in County Stadium, Milwaukee. Vin Scully recounted his call of the "Shot heard round the world" a few times...I was lucky enough to have heard it...a mesmerizing story. The homer was later revised down to around 560'. Howard never swung hard at a pitch, but this knuckleball so badly fooled him, he literally swung with his left arm only, having let go of the bat with his right arm. Bless the memory of Frank Howard, my boyhood Dodgers hero.
4:23. Jeremy's mad cackling cracks me up every time.
13:33 straight to the point
Ricardoqweasdzxc I have been looking for this comment, thanks.
YOU SIR... ARE A GOD!!!
@ shut up Meg
Legend
Jay Bee that is very funny. that made day
The "Helicopter" has entered the field!
Well, actually, if the bats rotated as they spun (or spun as they rotated?) they would develop aerodynamic properties and you could have some lift.
I have seen some experimental wind turbines that work like that.
Something to think about! 🤓
(I am actually in the power industry)
Looked like on the very last shot it was starting to take off
@@mrkeefor The vibrations from such a setup will do that. In helicopters the rotors have several degrees of freedom to lead and lag as well as bounce up or down as this effect is called ground resonance and will rip a rotorcraft to pieces, there are a few youtube videos of this on various rotorcraft testing and proving trials.
11:54 love how the bat gets dented and bent when it hits the ball.
Judging by the angle of descent I’d say your max bounce rate is 5% which still puts you well above 580
It rotates so fast I can hear fortunate son playing in me head.
Underrated comment
Oh no...
@@JaimeJoseHernandez 100% agreed underrated
Lol
😂😭dude I was literally thinking the same thing. Underrated comment for sure.
5:30 the moment the birds heard 100% and "all the way", they knew to hightail it out of there.
I loved the slow motion of the bat distort the shape the ball while being hit.
7:52 the bat looks like a bucking bronco plus when it wipes out that chunk of wood.
13:10 The machine had to add the batflip to that homerun lol
HAHAHA LMAO YESS!!
Nice lol

13:09 Beautiful bat flip after homerun
I really like watching your video your teaching and entertaining me at the same time its really good and I like how you explain it while your excite at the moment great Job.
The fact that you needed a machine that was basically a helicopter to hit a home run further than Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle is a testament to those two men. And the third one, the AAA home run, props to your amazing 582 too.
Amazing considering how low tech the game was back then . Just pure sportsmanship.
exactly
The power the possed.
Both were no question way ahead of their counterparts but no chance either could hit further than say Barry Bonds or even a random modern slugger like Bryce Harper. Sports have always exaggerated their numbers for hype.
@@dangolfishin Barry Bonds = Can you say Steroids ?
This is the most wholesome thing ever, watching two dads on a play date

It's not live
Love your videos. Would love to see one of your devices. I live about 1 1/2 hours south on I-65. I had wanted to build a similar device with my dad for some of my students with severe disabilities to enable them to hit a ball by pushing a switch. He was a mechanical engineer; but he passed away before we could do anything. After watching the video, I’m now wondering about the safety concerns.
Side note: in college I was an equipment manager for our baseball team and a major bat company had asked us to test out new bats trying to replace aluminum, but they kept breaking.
Second side note: the surgeon who performed my spinal fusion did it robotically and before he became a surgeon, he was an engineer who worked on the SR71 engines.
Very cool! Question: how did you create the path/parabola in Google Earth Pro?
He never said don’t try this at home
Go ahead
Buy a meta pwr and you can replicate this yourself
Me.... :Dad i can build a helicopter with baseball bats?

I mean, if you are the type of person that get build a baseball bat helicopter, you are also *hopefully* smart enough to be able to replicate this experiment with some degree of safety!

Funny comment, Darth! lol
@@Photosynthesisbeing ... "could of"?!
wow that is unbelievable how far that ball was to get hit that far and that contraption of yours
Hey Destin, How did you measure the exit velocity of the baseball? Did you use a speed gun or the slow-mo footage or something else?
I'm sure he would have showed a gun if he used it, and getting one set up for a very unpredictably-aimed ball would probably be difficult. Distance per number of video frames is pretty standard for this kind of thing.
Was anyone else disappointed that there wasn’t a slow mo for the record? 😭
you can slow mo videos manually
Yea, wtf
@@TheZombieeeeeee Playing back a video at half speed is not the same as slow mo footage, especially in this situation.
@@TheDeafCreeper ya, slow mo isn't playing a 60fps video at 10 fps, it's 1,000-1,000,000 fps recorded played back at 60fps

This sounds weird but, as someone who now does a lot of electrical work (though going to uni for computer security,) this is how I learned about 3 phase power. Not at all the point of the video but that's the impact it had.

What's a Destin quote that lives rent-free in your head?
@5:32
As soon as the ball ramped up midair, I started wheeze laughing. The sound of the bat is incredible. The terrifying motion of the machine. I love the outrageous, yet immensely entertaining videos.
10:46 you can see the bat's after images "lag" from the reduction of speed caused by the ball
Stereoscopic effect in action :D
Rolling shutter effect
Thats crazy
During a split second the bats almost matched the camera shutter speed
Omg i didnt even notice that .. ty for commenting
There's a reason why nobody's thought of making that to aid with fielding practice
wondering if you could try the supersonic baseball cannon as the pitcher for this bat machine?
At 13:04, It literally moves FASTER THAN THE SHUTTER SPEED. If this is 30 rotations PER SECOND.
There a lot better clips earlier in video about this
That’s true
Laugh in 100000fps camera
the bat has ONLY 2 frames when played at that speed
30 rotations per second*60 seconds in a minute = 1800 rotations per minute
