@3:03 : "trust that harness" one of you is clipped in through your gear loop (the side bits of the harness not the main loop above your crotch) which would break if you put your weight on it
Guys! if you do some similar drop make sure to get the lines on the balls pointing the same direction, i'd say that makes more difference than the helium itself.
I'd love to see some machine that spins the balls extremely fast then launch the balls just to see how strong the effect would be lol It would go so far
Since almost all these silly antics they do are rooted in science somehow, I think that would be a great thing to have tested! Keeping the contraption small, is key, for ease of portability. So I figure some flat stock steel and it gets bolted together. The ability to change speed with precision is needed, so... Some kind of gear system where one gear gets replaced to change it. Power will be a cordless drill... Also the gearing will key here as well, to allow it to spin faster than the drill could otherwise spin it on its own. Now if only I felt confident that they read these old video's comments... 😅
New subscriber here. (Yes, I hit the notification bell.) I've been watching a lot of your videos the past few days. I love the energy y'all bring to your videos! The Aussie accents are a bonus.
Haha yeh, we will definitely do all we can do get back there. Brett has a newborn and Scott has one on the way so it won’t be for a bit but we’ll try do it this year 👍 Thanks Derek for your 200k guarantee 😳
Magnus effect only relates to the surface (area, seams, lines, dips, etc) and spin. Weight influences it just a little bit (F=ma, so the same force gives different accelerations if the masses are different, but the difference in mass between air and helium is pretty much nullified by the weight of the ball)
Great idea.. but helium is available in many places (I even got a little tank of it for my daughter’s birthday party)... not sure if they could find sulfur hexafluoride as easily.
They were just in Lesotho, an enclave of South Africa. Why would they waste time and money going all the way to South America to go to Angel Falls which is a 979m drop (Although thats disputed) when the could have much cheaper and more easily gone to Tugela falls which is 948m in South Africa while they were there
1:25 Just so you guys know, you need to have your carabiner attached around the belay loop on your harness, or though the tie in points (not traditionally but it would still be safe), where you have it hooked is only strong enough to hold gear that you would be climbing with, if you were to have fallen you would have died. mind as well have taken the harness off.
You guys should get a rig to double drop things with identical spin I'm sure enough engineers are fans to build something for you would need to be pretty big to do exercise balls tho
Please make a device that spins the ball really fast so the Magnus effect is increased and use a heavier ball so it falls faster which also increases the effect.Thanks for all the nice and interesting video's!
You guys have the best job? Channel. Have a sound Easter weekend lads. We love your stuff here in the UK. Keep it up & congrats for the Guinness records. Yer killing it! ;)
You can't compare the two when there are different factors affecting the result as two different people are throwing the balls in two different ways. Either way I guess it's more of an entertaining video rather than a scientific experiment
Makdavian Basically they attached a safety rope (meant to hold human weight) to and equipment loop on their harness (meant to hold tools, not falling humans). If one of them had fallen, they could not have trusted the loop on their harness to hold their weight because it isn’t meant to.
it holds maybe 50kg but if you take a big fall you can create about 800kg of weight. :) you need to clip in the sling which holds the body part and the leg part together. This is made for taking a fall
These two objects have the same starting velocity and position. They are going to hit the ground at the same time, as mass/ density have no bearing on gravitational acceleration. You can also ignore air resistance because they test the same sizes
The gear loop on a harness isn't fall rated. Scott's protection looks like it was hooked up to the gear loop instead of the belay loop. I'm glad no one took a fall. Next time you harness up make sure you use the belay loop for protection. I really enjoy your videos and can't wait to see more!
You guy's should start a vlog, separately or in a group like a behind the scenes for more 'Scottisms' . It's refreshing something I can show my nephew without worrying about dodgy content . #44clubvlog your welcome 😉
The magnus effect is an aerodynamical phenomenon which occurs on the outer surface of the ball - the gas inside the ball is entirely sealed, so it won't affect the magnitude of old magnus. But, there are aerodynamical things going on inside too - helium might slightly reduce the resistance on the ball's spin, so it rotates slightly faster, increasing the mighty magnus going on outside. I dunno aerodynamics is tricky shit.
I wonder if the direction of the ridges also really helped the helium along that much further. With them perpendicular to the spin, they'd increase the Magnus effect by creating more drag. Your standard air was spun with the ridges in-line with the backspin, effectively -reducing- the drag. Do it again! Yanno, for science! :D
For some reason today i wont to know if a ball with helium would flot.so i looked it up and seen that you guys did it. i joind some time last year and i did not know u did it.love u guys you should do some more of these.
I'm really glad Scott didn't need to use that harness and rope...the hoops on the side that he's clipped into are NOT designed to take a fall, only to hold quick draws and other gear, that was terrifying to look at, haha
Please please please do more anvil videos. Those are the best. Anvil vs. trampoline, anvil vs. massive pile of plates, flaming anvil dropped in a small (very small) pool of gasoline, anvil vs pile of glass, anvil vs. giant lego structure. Or drop a small fridge from the tower.
The gravity has the same effect on these two objects, therefore its not much different. The only different is the wind resistance, its easier for heavier objects to go past it and therefore it land a little bit later. If you would drop a rock and a feather at the same time in vacum they would land at the same time.
part of the magnus effect has to do with how the air hits the ball as it rotates and the lines on the gym balls when you threw them were in different directions which may have affected the trajectory.
I would say 30 minutes to an hour!But anyways cool video and I hope you keep on making them me and my family watch your videos as soon as their uploaded!😁
Well, the weight of the ball actually has no effect on the falling velocity. If you wanna calculate the velocity of the fall, you need to equal the potential Energy E(Pot.)=m*g*h and the kinetic Energy E(kin.)= mv²/2. If you just look at it, you see that you just divide by the mass and it gets cancelled out. I don't know which effect it has on the magnus effect. I believe it does, as this video has shown.
Such a location lads 😯 As always we had a good laugh. Someone at the bottom trying to catch that exercise ball would have been very interesting indeed 😂
@3:03 : "trust that harness" one of you is clipped in through your gear loop (the side bits of the harness not the main loop above your crotch) which would break if you put your weight on it
Yup true
Which one? When?
That seems like a problem
@Youe oh my god Scott is for sure fucked right there! That's is insane
1:08 shows it better
it looks like Scott's safety line was connected in a non weight bearing gear loop not the proper attachment point and it made me super nervous
YES, Anxiety level 100
Next video how strong is a gear loop
and he’s standing nearest to the edge in the beginning fuck sake 😭
so he was standing without equipment at the edge of a 200m cliff, I must say that scott's lucky to not have slipped
@@maxz69 no he had equipment. It was just hooked up wrong apparently.
You guys should do more rc car dodging videos! Those are my favorite!
Stone Sportscards we will this year for sure. Any objects you want to see us dodge?
How Ridiculous rocks, bricks, something very sticky
Oh, do giant water balloons!!!
How Ridiculous you should try to dodge a 5 gallon bucket full of concrete, a mini fridge, and propane tanks
How Ridiculous do molotovs
I completely agree
That’s a thumbs up from me for collecting the balls👍
entertaining AND environmentally sound, definitely worth a "like"
And that's a thumbs down for for you, for being a cringy ass idiot.
@@TraceguyRune lol, you seem like a good guy
Guys! if you do some similar drop make sure to get the lines on the balls pointing the same direction, i'd say that makes more difference than the helium itself.
Noticed this too! I think that's partly why the helium ball went further.
Damn dude, you gotta tie into that harness correctly.
Anvil vs. Bulletproof glass! Like if you agree!
Definitely
100% an anvil
Nick Doerksen anvil vs coyote (obviously not a live coyote, dealer's choice)
Nick, you may get your wish with this week's vid!
I'd love to see some machine that spins the balls extremely fast then launch the balls just to see how strong the effect would be lol It would go so far
Now we're just going to loop the loop in there then slow down then it would fly off into the horizon and then maybe slowly go down
Since almost all these silly antics they do are rooted in science somehow, I think that would be a great thing to have tested!
Keeping the contraption small, is key, for ease of portability. So I figure some flat stock steel and it gets bolted together.

That’s a beautiful water fall
Reece 105 it’s a shame they had to litter it with exercise balls
Quentin Dollard They collected the balls after
Even there a rainbow
Threw em’ in the old ball sack and went on their way I recon
Pretty happy to hear you collect the kit afterwards and stoked to see some fellow Aussies smashing RUclips!!

Guy in red helmet was clipped into a gear loop on his harness
Cannot wait for the Bullseye from the Swiss Dam. Probably need to book a week off. Good luck.
Edit: maybe do it for your 200th video.
It's gunna take ages like I don't think its possible.
Haha yeh, we will definitely do all we can do get back there. Brett has a newborn and Scott has one on the way so it won’t be for a bit but we’ll try do it this year 👍 Thanks Derek for your 200k guarantee 😳
How Ridiculous what you put family life before RUclips. 😂. That's fine. Congrats on the babies.
How Ridiculous oh Congrats Brett and Scott! How KIDiculous is in the making...😁
How Ridiculous
Baby's should never SLOW your dreams bring them

Do another RC race and drop a water filled exercise ball on the cars
I love How Ridiculous. Been watching for 3 years, and I’ve watched the last 5 years of videos 3+ times over. Huge fan
Put sulfur hexafluoride in one (the stuff that is much denser than air and makes your voice deep, opposite of helium)
NewTuber13894 yess
Really great idea
NewTuber13894 yes!
Great idea.. but helium is available in many places (I even got a little tank of it for my daughter’s birthday party)... not sure if they could find sulfur hexafluoride as easily.
3 minutes and 16 seconds to fill the helium exercise ball. Thanks guy for making great videos!
I feel like they're just building up to doing a shot off of Angel Falls.
Micah Philson thatd be epic

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA YOU REALLY FUCKING WANT THEM TO DIE DON'T YOU!
What about dropping coke into barrels full of mentos from The Tower. You should play The Game.
Crap I lost the game.

A ball rig wouldn't be too difficult to make out of PVC and be collapsible with pull pins for travel.

55 seconds. lovely music and enjoyable location. Well done lads.
Ian Jackson thanks mate!
Wubble bubble Magnus effect who agrees?
Can you throw a Furby off the cliff next time?
And then drop and anvil on it.
Yes
😂😂😂😂😂👍
If Furby doesn’t know dae way he has to pay with his life!
Yes

i am doing a project about this stuff. this REALLY helped
Ridiculous video! 😂 BTW saw you guys and got your signature on Thursday at the Perth convention centre! Had a good time!
Man I love the way you guys talk!
3:47 what you have been waiting for
Just want to point out that clipping a safety rope to an equipment loop isn't safe and is essentially pointless
Wanted to say the same thing. You can't trust a harness if you don't use it correctly...
Please elaborate
@@DriesVandenneucker Please elaborate

it happens at 3:50
Great photography on this shoot guys, keep it up your videos are awesome!!
You guys should make something that makes the ball spin real fast then drop it
As always, great camera work all around!
Hey cool I’m a member of the 44 club even though I don’t know what that is.
To fill the ball with helium I recon 12.75sec.
See the link in this video's description that links to the video where they create the #44club in that video's outro.
These two objects have the same starting velocity and position. They are going to hit the ground at the same time, as mass/ density have no bearing on gravitational acceleration. You can also ignore air resistance because they test the same sizes
What are we talking about😂😂😂
Your methodology may be flawed, but your enthusiasm and entertainment are epic! Awesome location! Cheers from NZ
Do this with a heavy gas
Your momium
It’s called superhexaflexaourium i beleive. Seriously.
Glad to see you collect them at the end. Littering is bad.
Hi how ridiculous you are awesome
Never Have I ever not liked a How Ridiculous😜
It took 44 seconds
Throw ballons in nature, what a bright Idea ! Just continue...
so we're going to test the magnus effec-- ooh look, a bird.
Welcome in South Africa 🇿🇦 hope you enjoy it here(be sure to buy some billtong)
Magnus effect on an anvil?
😂
Zero. Haha
Why not try it?
[ OctopusOverlord ] because there's no point doing it
Omg HOW RIDICULOUS REPLIED HERE

I'm glad you guys go down and pick them up afterward. After the 100 basketball one, I was pretty worried...
Throw a go pro of the cliff into the water below
Ranger4josh ??? Apparently no one has got to the bottom of it before, and it’s crazy cold.. so it’d be a one way trip and we’d never see the footage!
How Ridiculous couldn't you just attach something to it so it floats
why do you guys throw balls off if you can't collect them? pollution at it's finest
MS MTB Did you even watch the video? They picked them up.
MS MTB 5:00 click on this, listen to what they say and watch what they do.
Yep it definitely did disappear and reappear behind and too the left.

Love these vids
Such a location lads 😯 As always we had a good laugh. Someone at the bottom trying to catch that exercise ball would have been very interesting indeed 😂
You should do this with racquets. Like ping pong, tennis etc. Or find a way to get massive spin on a gym ball. Maybe something like yo-yo would work?
You should try and throw a drone down there and try and get it to fly half way down. Would be exciting to watch.
3 mins?? Epic vid
That was a gorgeous location
