I would like to thank everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon ( www.patreon.com/smartereveryday ). You're making all of our supersonic baseball data dreams come true. I have some very interesting things planned for the cannon, and I'm excited to share it. If you'd like to consider supporting on Patreon as well, I'd love to send you a baseball. If you've been a supporter for a while now, I have a little thank you headed your way in the near future (still working out the logistics). *_Thank you for sticking with me._* The fact that you've decided to not only support, but to *stick with me* is huge.

[@AndrewZonenberg]

On second thought, body armor might not be enough... Rough numbers for comparison: * 145 g baseball * 480 m/s = about 70 N-s momentum * 28 g 12-gauge slug * 537 m/s = about 15 N-s * 48 g .50 BMG * 859 m/s = about 41 N-s momentum

[@jonandvicki]

Now I want Destin to make a video to see how far they can shoot a baseball. Might have to go out into a desert somewhere for that though. And they may need to imbed a gps tracker in the baseball in order to find it. 😂

[@AndrewZonenberg]

@@jonandvicki Rough numbers say 14.6 miles for 1074 MPH muzzle velocity, starting close to ground level, with zero air drag. So that's an upper bound on what's achievable. The data he collected in this video should allow a reasonable approximation of the ballistic coefficient (at sea level pressure... drag is lower at altitude), which will allow us to predict range far more accurately. One question is that of structural integrity: if the ball begins to break up due to stress in flight (especially when decelerating through max Q) there will be threads and bits of leather flailing around which greatly increase drag. So the BC of an intact ball might not be the best number to use.

[@warrenwattles8397]

I would love to see a high speed thermal image of the impacts, either on the steel plate or on the sprinkles. The energy of that ball is significantly being dissipated as heat, and it would be fascinating to see where it goes and at what rate it decays.

[@Bennici]

The amount of heat loss is proportional to how (in)elastic the collision is. The baseball is fairly elastic (until it isn't, at which point talking about the temperature of the rapidly dissipating debris cloud is mostly pointless), so I wouldn't expect it to heat up much. The sprinkles for example deformed quite a bit and stayed that way, so that would be interesting. Not sure about the mayonnaise or the steel plate, but I would expect almost no heat transfer to the mayo in this short amount if time (lots of water in mayo, which takes longer to heat up relative to other materials). The steel plate I would expect to be a couple degrees warmer for a minute or two after you shoot a Mach 1 ball at it, but that's just a guess.

I am not sure what he meant by parting line, but i think there was a slight mistake?

I noticed something interesting happening at 13:58 just before the baseball hits the sprinkles. Around the laces on the right side of the ball, you can see a bluish halo. Is that a result of drag on the laces, light bending due to turbulence, difference in pressures like a cavitation bubble, or something else?

[@carterhoule1276]

I died when he said that. Its cause it hit with so much force it compressed the mayo (oil/fuel) to the point of ignition like a diesel engine would. But those are internal combustion engines which makes it much easier to achieve that sort of compression, the air pressure delta was so great between the ball and the jug of mayo compared to the air pressure around it, it was able to achieve an external combustion by compression ignition. Which is pretty incredible.

Fun fact Mayonnaise is the invention of the French chef of the Duke de Richelieu in 1756. While the duke was defeating the British at Port Mahon, his chef was creating a victory feast that included a sauce made of cream and eggs. When the chef realized that there was no cream in the kitchen, he improvised, substituting olive oil for the cream. A new culinary masterpiece was born, and the chef named it 'Mahonnaise' in honour of the Richelieu's victory. Each time you eat Mayonnaise you are celebrating a british defeat 😉.

10:30 It's moments like this that make Smarter Every Day more than just another science channel, it's about learning, and discovery. Don't ever stop learning, and where you can, teach others. And in doing so, you will find the truest, purest joy of this chaotic world. Thank you Destin, for sharing that joy with us.

I'd really like to see a video on the engineering behind the cannon, particularly on how you ensure an instantaneous opening of the pressure vessel, to get the full pressure behind the ball before it's halfway down the barrel.

Fun fact Mayonnaise is the invention of the French chef of the Duke de Richelieu in 1756. While the duke was defeating the British at Port Mahon, his chef was creating a victory feast that included a sauce made of cream and eggs. When the chef realized that there was no cream in the kitchen, he improvised, substituting olive oil for the cream. A new culinary masterpiece was born, and the chef named it 'Mahonnaise' in honour of the Richelieu's victory.

[@carterhoule1276]

I died when he said they dieseled mayo. Its cause it hit with so much force it compressed the mayo (oil/fuel) to the point of ignition like a diesel engine would. But those are internal combustion engines which makes it much easier to achieve that sort of compression, the air pressure delta was so great between the ball and the jug of mayo compared to the air pressure around it, it was able to achieve an external combustion by compression ignition. Which is pretty incredible.
