I love to use your videos to reenforce my daughters love of math and science. we are working our way through your catalog. I have a nine year old that is facinated with all you do. Thank you so much.
The most elegant piece of design work is hardly noted: The water brake system! The rest is pretty straight forward just how anybody would do it. But the water brake system is pure genius!
Sandia National Lab is a very well-funded long-standing National Laboratory. This is from the Wiki page [ Sandia began in 1945 as Z Division, the ordnance design, testing, and assembly arm of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It became Sandia Laboratory in 1948 and, in 1949, Sandia Corporation was established as a Western Electric company to manage the laboratory. ]
it gets better everday. they can shoot down missiles with bullets. they can probably send a tungsten rod down from orbit through someone's skull if they so desired...
These people don’t seem like the type to make mistakes. Similar to how nasa is able to calculate the “sling shot” velocities when using another planets gravitational pull for a boost. Mind blowing accuracy.
Walking down to work one day and a sled test went off. Got to see the rocket smoke and hear the roar. We were about three miles away at KUMSC. Got to see a lot of Sandia cool stuff on Kirtland AFB.
Worked on high speed ejection seat tests at Holloman AFB track in the 90s. Data acquisition has come a long ways. Test article looks like a B61 bomb shape.
orangelion03 B61-11 earth penetrator. At the end when the rest of the bomb body breaks up, you can see a silver can contained within. That would be the physics package on the real article.
@@kylesenior new fuse and electronics in the physics package though. I would imagine a bench examination of the physics package is the purpose of this entire test.
There is a crash site F-105 Thunderchief out in the hills by China lake. It is pretty much still there a few years ago less the Artificial Horizon. The impact point had the same impact feature as here with 1,000's of little shards. Most of it was easy to recognize. Story goes pilot got out safely.
great video. running a 1bit dynamic pressure measuring system to see with sound within ghz sampling rates and running motion amplification through an analogue landscape analysis would give more accuracy... when building 3d models...
lol in the last scene you can clearly see the wire that got cut hit just above the target =D That's pretty dang awesome, just the velocities involved there to have so little displacement over that much distance hehe
How badass would it be if your day job was to crash supersonic weapons into immovable barriers, while capturing the ensuing mayhem on super high-resolution, high speed cameras. That would freakin' rock!

study math & physics and avoid the no-no's on a TS/SCI form, and your daughter can for sure be working at Sandia in the future.
your a Lucky man
@Ms Moon Boo LOL Just rocket sleds and maybe a Z pinch machine for science fair

They use that set up on several of these tests. Noticed it on the drop test rig a few videos before this one.
I really like the release and pull down system for the carrier sled so the missile is in free flight when it hits the target.
The amount of data gleaned was phenomenal. I very much enjoyed this video.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Put together a couple more videos like this and then release it for IMAX.
Thats a new take on a discarding sabot, good to see some very practical well thought out instrumentation
Love these experimentations.
The tail can pulled 466 +/- ? g on deceleration. Dave Purley, race car driver, survived a 214g crash (107 mph to 0 in 26 inches).
awesome stuff!
What fantastic jobs you guys have.
It's a lot of fun with endless opportunities to explore new ways to measure energetic phenomena.
1:45 LS. 2:12 CU 3D imaging metrics. 3:10 CU crush impact dynamics.
Watch out, SlowMo guys! The old-schooler is back!
Wow, your data is amazingly clean. Well done
Fantastic test video...!! Thank you SNL..!!
Wow, that's some high-speed camera action right there!
260mph is pretty slow tbh in terms of high speed footage
Can watch this all day.
Thanks
Love how high def the videos are

Im amazed at how pin point accurate it was on the target.

@@MooseMeus We know they can slice through 15" steel with aircraft aluminum at a much slower speed as well.

Mind blowing accuracy.
Music says: "I know what I have, no lowballs".
Nice video, thank you.
You guys have some sweet cameras.
And these are the ones they are allowed to show publicly..

It's not a mod 11, wrong tail fin shape and wrong nose shape.

@@NathansHVAC You're going to have to explain what that has to do with what I said.
Most amazing thing about this is the music

This is awesome :)
Amazing to watch - thanks!
who did the music to these videos i love it
These guys are just flexing how cool their job is
Ya great photography work , and great music to ,
Some alloys have been discovered under test involving impacts like this (as a by product).
What was the purpose of this test? To test the wall strength?

science
@@blockstacker5614 Nice one.
I wonder if the wall will always win?

I'm interested in a position driving a sled.
Great soundtrack. Shame it isn’t listed on the credits.
Translated the target block by several cm.
What a cool job
Chuck Norris was leaning against the door with one hand from the inside of the bunker ✋😂
From what I see, you win so far lol.
F4 Phantom was a good one. watch that.
Will it blend? Thats the question!
Most interesting
Thank you this is amazing
Remarkable.
Sandra Labs is also involved in the Re-engineering of captured extra-terrestrial technologies.
that sounds about right
Stunning.
What is the purpose of this test?
How badass would it be if your day job was to crash supersonic weapons into immovable barriers, while capturing the ensuing mayhem on super high-resolution, high speed cameras. That would freakin' rock!
Speed?
Practical application?
Why is this in my recommendation 4 years later. And whats the point?
Very very cool
"No nuclear weapons were harmed during the filming of this video".
Projectile discontinuities R interesting.
Le dio en el puntito que habian elegido...!!!
What happened? It bounced off the door? Was it supposed to go through the door?
Testing how the physics package holds up to a hard target. The nuclear detonation would be a surface burst.
Sandia, the people who answer the question "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object"
nice
What is the rocket crashing into? Stacked rebar?
Music on back is call the music of dead
Хорошая стенка.
Why do you have such weird music in the background?
What does the test unit sled look like after a test like this?
it essentially flies down a tunnel and hits sand or rock, so I would assume it's tiny metal fragments
Awesome
Was that B-61?
inert test mass
Amazing. But now iam wondering. Why did the 911 planes not do that.
They didnt have the resources
Because literally every aspect of the situation was different?
Because that’s not what the outside of the building and planes look like and are made of?
Weird. I couldn't see Wile E. Coyote in a single frame, but I can swear he was riding that thing the last time I saw this footage...
Muito legal o trabalho envolvido, ganhou meu like.
Impressive.
Hahahahaha. At 3:54 the hold down straps join the party.
NHTSA reports rocket driver and passenger sustained fatal impact injuries while third row occupants sustained head, neck, and knee trauma. Two-star rating, Consumer Reports analysis pending.
We are watching something spawned before WWII and we still barely know how to control it. Crazy.
Music is a bit much
Bonkers, Patch. London, UK
I'd like to work there.
Instead of rocket assisted sleds, it should be using Maglev
2:00 the world is going mad, now the missiles are the one bombing the catcher boxes with the test unit sleds
😂
Que increible !!!!
that Division music
Not fast enough
I thought it would have done more damage.
Song?!
So that’s how they teach them how to knock on the doors.
Cool. But why’s the text so small?
How are those calibration spots painted? IF/UV absorbing paint? software?
By hand from what I understand. It makes them random enough that each is unique enough to be easily identifiable.
Looks like B61 casing....
what materials in missile (1.5mm alloy etc) vs what materials in the target wall?
Last wall againts barbarie
Pure beauté of intelligence
That could be dangerous
Get rid of the overly loud music!
I want a job !
But do we have an anti nuke missile defense system capable of stopping any nuclear attack? That would enable many to sleep at night!
260 mph, well if it was going mach 2 something totally different would have happen. 260 mph is nothing.
Tail unscaved...
Cooooooooooooooooooool.
I only clicked because watermelon national labs is a funny name.
All American economy and high tech science is related to the MIC and weaponry. What has been done of America

Sable bunker busters 🤔 thermite secondary colapse the underground complex
Want a house made out of that wall.😮
