That said, there are other helicopters out there, but to lift that much it's probably the best one for the job at that price.

The biggest issue in getting a higher bounce from a larger height is terminal velocity from air resistance. The closer an object gets to terminal velocity the less it will accelerate, so even if the distance to the ground is twice as large the velocity is likely significantly less than twice as large due to decreasing acceleration and plateauing velocity which is what happens when an object approaches terminal velocity.

@MrDuno9

Жыл бұрын

I'd think that the efficiency of the bounce is the biggest thing. A back of the envelope calculation for the terminal velocity of a 1 ton sphere says terminal velocity is about 72 m/s, and in a vacuum the sphere dropped from 2000 feet would only reach about 108m/s. So drag does play a role, but it can't account for the sphere bouncing only 150/2000 = 7.5% of its drop height. The ball is losing most of its energy to heat as it deforms into a pancake and displaces the dirt. If they dropped a diamond ball on a diamond field (and it weighed the same somehow) I'd expect it to go much much higher, as long as it didn't shatter, despite feeling the same amount of air resistance and having the same terminal velocity

Easiest way to check this is to check the time from release to hitting the ground. Compare the time of the drop to what you'd expect in a vacuum. If there is a significant difference, air resistance is coming into play. And if the time is close to double from 1000 ft to 2000 ft, it's getting to terminal velocity pretty quickly, and going higher isn't going to change anything.

Thanks to HR for all the fun they provided over the years.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this chaps. Laughed a lot . Great fun . Thanks to everyone.

I think the bounce factor would have been far better and more consistent if you dropped the ball on a hard surface instead of grasses filed, which likely absorbed a fair amount of the force - particularly increasing as the high increased.

An object in motion wants to stay that way and all that, but it also wants to keep moving in that same direction, so shoving the ground out of the way is the simplest solution, at least to the eye of natural physics. If that isn't an option, the kinetic force has no choice but to rebound, so...higher bounce :) But where could we find hard enough ground that isn't around people, and nobody would mind if we destroyed it a little?

It really needed to be dropped on a far harder surface - ideally solid rock or reinforced concrete. The amount of KE that is absorbed by turfed/grassed soil is amazing. I did a very similar (although much smaller in scale!) project in high-school. Depending on the water-content and density of the soil it would adsorb up to 70% of the kinetic-energy, at impact, of a mass at terminal velocity. We used iron balls (3kg shot-put), 3kg solid-rubber, water-filled polymer and a few others.

A fair amount of loss in bounce height can be attributed to losses by way of heat. The faster the bands expand, the more heat gets generated. This temporarily reduces the bands' elasticity, there by delaying the return to resting state while the ball is still in contact with the ground.

Oh wow. You guys, after a quick Google, have made the biggest bounce! The record WAS about 95 feet, or just less than 30 meters. Congrats!

The loss of bounce was due to the energy transfer in creating the crater and the full compression of the ball caused a lot of the energy to travel horizontally instead of vertically. The loss of bands had a minor effect with their energy not returning in the form of bounce. Dropping on a more solid surface like concrete would have saved much of the energy. I bet the temperature inside the ball went up substantially too.

Deformation costs a crapload of energy so it was to be expected that it would drop as soon as it started shedding. That's partially the reason it doesn't scale linearly already on regular bounces but those rubber bands flying off of it had a lot of energy in them that wasn't directed upwards anymore. Another reason could be terminal velocity approaching at some point making sure going higher no longer makes the ball hit harder because all off that juicy energy goes into air displacement.

I was part of the Ripleys Believe it or not production where we dropped the worlds largest rubber band ball. The chase helicopter crashed before we got the ball dropped in Kingman Arizona. The results we got were a bit different since we started from a pretty good height. At some point the compression of the ball is enough that it makes heat and also the outer layers of the ball sluff off. I had a melted clump of the ball as a souivineer for years.

That is an excellent pilot. That drop is ridiculously dangerous and difficult.

DID YOU CLEAN THAT MESS UP? beautiful landscape!

I used to work in a stock room/loading dock and we used to get huge rubber bands they would use to hold together pallets of products. They didn't work well at all but they were fun to play with. We mostly just used them to lock people in the bathroom. They were significantly bigger than the ones used here though.

I stock at a grocery store and all of our pallets held together with layers and layers of plastic wrap. Works great but we generate a metric ton of trash.

Lawns everywhere must flee when these guys roll into town😅🤣

Watching the slow mo playback was fascinating! Good job guys.

"... the torch dude in New York." 🤣🤣🤣

That was a lot fun just watching!

You guys are awesome.....hello from Puerto rico😂😂😂😂❤

The wobble is the force of inertia building up and forcing the massive uneven weight to consolidate up to it's new center of gravity. ✌️😊

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA. And I have to say, the farmer… has my heart. Just sounds like the conversation around here. Simple man, simple advice. Awesome.

Trick question, it blows up 100 feet above the ground for a sweet sweet air burst devastation

You guys are not entirely normal.... Very fun!

For those who don't want to wait for what happens. The ball bounces

I hope you use biodegradable rubber

17:08 that sound is incredible

Thoroughly enjoyed this ridiculousness, lads.

You want to get hold of the rubber rolls they use to make car tyre puncture repair kits it will all stick together rock hard into a solid rubber ball.

Never a waste of time watching any of your videos ! Two helicopters, respect is due. Seriously enjoy seeing how much fun you guys have doing these things. Keep up the good work !

Kinetic energy at its best. The ground is absorbing a big chunk of that energy. I’d like to see that bouncing out of a think re-enforced concrete slab.

I was thinking the same thing, kinda disappointing they wasted the ball on grass.

@@DPWian I agree, they should've done it on an abandoned airfield or something like that. Well, maybe the ball would simply explode

You all are a blast to watch.

Can you imagine being the size of King Kong and hitting that rubber ball with a giant baseball bat while it's being carried in the air by that helicopter?
