You did it for me. My mouth was wide open when I saw how you guys made a lathe for your water jet… and the sawblade to top it off… just *cheffs kiss* so good
That sawblade thing was reckless AF. Holding a sawblade with your bare hands and applying it to a spinning lathe is just asking to have your fingers chopped off, or worse. A lot worse. If one of those teeth on the sawblade catches on something in the wood like a knot or something, it's going to yank that sawblade and throw it in God-knows-what direction. Maybe across the room away from the person holding it. Maybe into the user's chest. Or maybe it'll launch it straight into his face. You just don't know. Most people who do woodturning would have used a lathe knife or chisel for that.
@@zyftis6927 Right, so we should just disregard safety and/or do stuff like that on camera so some poor shmuck who doesn't know any better can try that at his home and wham, next thing you know, someone's dead or had body parts chopped off.

Pure tungsten is also significantly more expensive than tunsten carbide, so they used the carbide instead. They explained it during their “world’s heaviest baseball bat” video.
@@CascadePSA If they get it in the powdered form and then held it together with with something like lead it would be cheaper than soild metal and probably weigh a lot more than the one they created as well.
In powdered for, the material is 30% larger. It isn't unt the soft "powdered" carbide is sintered where it shrinks and becomes a very hard, but brittle material. I work as an engineer at a carbide processing facility where we make carbide from start to finish..
At 5:32 I was having visions of horror. LOL. No gloves, and if for some reason that blade got pulled out of position, your hands would be in very bad shape.
To be fair, if they were wearing gloves, they probably would have gotten caught on the blade and caused worse injuries than they would get without gloves. There's a reason you don't use gloves with any kind of spinning equipment
using the bismuth to bind the tungsten was a really interesting idea, it's safer than lead and more dense than iron. On the other hand, holding the saw blade and using it to cut off the bat was also an interesting idea, just not the good kind.
tbh i thought you were gonna make the ball completely out of tungsten so i was confused for a minute why you were messing with bismuth, then i realized what you guys were planning and it makes sense you probably didnt have the right stuff to melt the tungsten and bismuth is the heaviest stable non-radioactive element there is so it fits with making a heavy baseball
1. That's tungsten carbide, which is less dense than tungsten 2. Breaking down the tungsten carbide in to even smaller pieces would allow you to fit more, making it even denser 3. You should've used lead instead of bismuth. Lead is roughly 15% denser than bismuth Overall, 10/10 cool vid
Midwest tungsten service does sell a tungsten sphere that is 2.75 inch in diameter, very close to that of a baseball. So they could of just fit that in the baseball and it would be the heaviest possible tungsten baseball.
Man, I wish they'd let two of the baseball players pitch and hit not because it would have looked any different for us, but because for those two baseball players the visceral experience would be informed by years of interaction with traditionally weighted bats and baseballs.

Now I want to see a tungsten bat go up against a balsa wood ball. Better yet, I want to see the tungsten ball break normal bats. It was obvious from the get go that the balsa bat was going to break. What about a normal wooden bat though?
Dude takes the entire video just to show the clip that everyone came here for. Even goes as far as to edge us in the start of the video by show is most of the clip several times, ending it before the ball hits.
If you're wondering why they didn't just melt some tungsten into a ball instead of using tubes kept together by bismuth, it's because tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point so almost no mould would be able to handle liquid tungsten without melting. Some materials like carbon or alloys like tantalum hafnium carbide have a higher melting point for example but a mould made out of them would react with tungsten creating tungsten carbide which has a density lower than that of pure tungsten making it lighter. Even the "buyable" tungsten is (basically) mined, made into a powder, compacted with a hydraulic press and sintered ( powder metallurgy), which means it was never actually in a liquid form. However it is still possible to melt tungsten but the methods used are way too complicated for a RUclips video. Also the "tungsten" that they used in the video is actually not tungsten but tungsten carbide, they probably used it because, a) they had it lying around, b) it is still very heavy compared to other metals and alloys (twice as dense as steel or iron all while not being poisonous or radioactive like other very dense metals) c) it prevented them from going bankrupt since it is less expensive. If you wanted to use platinum instead (since it is even heavier) just like Cody suggested (as a joke of course lol) it would cost you 130 000 $ to make a simple baseball ;/ They probably used bismuth to fill the gaps because it is also a bit denser than steel or iron and is "easy" to melt (tungsten melting point: 3422°C Bismuth melting point: 271,5°C).
@@blengi @blengi Graphite is actually a crystalized form of carbon so I believe it should react with the tungsten and create tungsten carbide. It's true that tantalum hafnium carbide sould be able to contain molten tungsten due to its high melting point but it is extremely expensive (almost 10k$ for 1kg). I've changed the comment so the focus is on the fact it's to complicated and pointless to try and melt rather than that it is "impossible".
@@kelsey3881 Hi thanks for reply. I was just being playful, so never really considered the reaction potential of various materials - Cheers for pointing that out! When I randomly googled I noted that tungsten coated graphite tiles were considered a good choice for high temperature regimes like Tokamaks so I thought precluding oxygen issues graphite molds might be viable lol. Perhaps a graphite mold with a super thin surface layer of tantalum hafnium carbide via vapour deposition could be a feasibly inexpensive "hack" too?
@@blengi That's fine Iol - what do you mean by precluding oxygen ? That might be possible but at the same time, tantalum hafnium carbide unfortunately contains carbon. So I think the tungsten might react with it and create tungsten carbide. But I think you're intuition is right, if an easy way of moulding tungsten is ever possible, it will most likely be thanks to the research in fusion technology and in the materials constituting the panels of the tokamak's (or other fusion reactors they may develop in the future).
Tungsten alloys are often used in kinetic tank projectiles for its high density. Those are rods of about 5-8 kg/11-18 lbs weight that travel so fast (over 1500 m/s which is about 5400 km/h or 5000 ft/s) that they literally can't shatter. The shock waves from the impact travel through Tungsten at around 350 m/s. But since the material feeds into the collision with the target over 4x faster, the shock waves can never actually travel backwards in the projectile. The entire rod will eliminate itself against the armour it hits until either the armour is destroyed or the entire rod is eroded away. The length of the rod is therefore one of the most important things to determine the penetration ability. With a length of about 70 cm/28 in, modern projectiles of this kind can penetrate over a meter of hardened steel.
So it's not a Tungsten baseball, it's a Bismuth and Tungsten Carbide baseball, both of which are less dense than pure Tungsten. I guess that's not as click-worthy to put in the thumbnail, however someone could very easily make a 30% heavier baseball by simply buying the appropriate sized Tungsten sphere online for a few hundred dollars.
Honestly... I suspect a Tungsten ball might break an actual bat... and probably the arms of the guy swinging it. All that energy straight down the bat's core... I agree with Alteran - I'd love to see Destin's robo-batter machine take a whack at it... measure the forces down the bat when that lump of W hits it. LOL :)
@@petert3355 Only for that moment just before it went through his body. If you hit a 100 mph+ tungsten projectile with enough force to change it's direction and momentum... ... someone is losing body parts.
