Spinning a Laserdisc to Shrapnel at 80,000fps - The Slow Mo Guys

Ойын-сауық

Gav and Dan find out how fast a laserdisc can spin until the quality of the movie gets affected by it flying off the plastic. Don't try this at home!

    My uncle was in construction for many years and fond of pointing out that wood is actually weaker than drywall (for the same thickness). You can see the grain of the wood in the vid is in line with plane of the disk, which means it's even easier to cut than paper (aka cardboard) because when you go with the grain you can go between fibers (think cutting a steak with vs. against the grain) vs. cardboard's random fiber orientation and multiple layers (ask a sewing enthusiast what's the worst thing to dull a pair of scissors, it's not fabric, it's paper) Honestly a congregated box (2 walls) would have been more effective to stop the chunks.

    There goes your favorite anime or '80s action film, off into the oblivion at thousands of RPM and hundreds of mph or km/h. :) Just kidding, but if I am not mistaken, anime* was getting big in the 1990s, such as Akira and YuYu Hakusho (The Ghost Files), and those anime were made before DVDs took off by the 21st century. Imagine standing near the disc, that would scare me. Would love to know the physics of why the disc parts spin at the same rate in the air after being released. Seems to be stored momentum in the fragments. *Not a big fan of most anime here cos a lot of anime in the 2020s has too much blood, never-ending fights and raunchiness, but Hunter X Hunter, most Ghibli stuff, One Piece, Weathering with You, Cowboy Bebop, Azumanga Daioh and Serial Experiments Lain are all good. Gonna try YuYu next. Glad that a friend introduced me to HxH in 2021, or else, anime would have been a lost cause, just like the humble LaserDisc.

    In the 1980's working for a pump/compressor manufacturer, we would spin destruct our die-cast steel impellers. The smooth perfect surfaces of these impellers came back with what resembles crumbled tin foil. These were spun at 140,000+ RPM till destructed. One lasted to 180,000 RPM. The hi-strength die-cast metal went to a plasticized state, quite amazing. One compressor we designed would run at 120,000 RPM on its 4th stage. I got to hand draft the design for these as it was before commercial CAD systems.

    For the first half or so of the path, it's moving in the expected straight line, while spinning around the centre of mass. However, it doesn't just get /close/ to the melon, it actually touches it, and appears to make two separate and shallow slices into the rind. Both of these cuts provide pivot forces that an upward change to the path traced by the COM. And about half way through the second cut, the shard contacts the plywood wall and quickly loses all vertical motion as it exits the frame.

    2:50 - FWIW, a group of us found that neither plywood nor concrete were good barriers for copper shrapnel when we built a coin shrinker… but about 5cm (2 layers of 1-inch thick) HDPE did wonders. (The inner layer was somewhat sacrificial and needed to be replaced occasionally, but lasted a good while in between.) Maybe that’s useful information for y’all? :)

    I repaired laserdiscs when they were the thing. When I opened the cabinet to the first one to troubleshoot it, I was amazed with the speed of the spin for such a large disc. It was a much improvement in video quality over the VHS tapes. The early decks had a HeNe laser in it. It was scarier when the spindle cover bearing bore into the slip sheet on the disc clamp causing the disc to vibrate. both the spindle cover and the sheet had to be replaced.

Would be cool to see that slowed down :)

As a golfer growing up, there were theories about what was more important in the swing for shot shaping/accuracy. I think the answer is much more well known now than it was 40 years ago, but endless options like these could give The Slow Mo Guys content until they are using walkers with tennis balls on the frame to get around.
