In Australia, we chuck a 10ft boomerang to catch our breakfast every morning. Pfft!!!

[@alstartheman]

Not just catch it, but it also returns the meal served on a plate and ready to eat.

1:30 (0__o) i think just that one part was more amazing then the giant boomerang

[@VictorPoulin]

Something is wrong here with the explanation of gyroscopic precision making the boomerang turn. When you spin the wheel forward (clockwise) it turns to the left as seen in the video. Spin it backwards (counterclockwise) and it will spin to the right. Here is where I found an issue. Both right and left handed boomerangs are throw forward in a clockwise direction yet the left handed boomerang flies to the right. Why???

[@kylelambert1672]

From what I understand both half of the boomerang or blades, act like the wing on an airplane. I may be understanding wrong, but I think like a plane wing the bottom will be flat on one side. So the right hand boomerang when held upright like when getting ready to throw it, will have a flat right side. And the left hand boomerang will have the left hand side flat. The lift is causing the Boomerang to rise to the non flat side.

[@kylelambert1672]

But don't quote me, when I was a kid me and my dad built one based off the description in a book with no pictures I found in my grandpa's bookshelf. Turns out based on multiple KZbin videos we built it wrong and had the leading edges facing each other. Explains why it never worked right.

[@VictorPoulin]

@@kylelambert1672 You are correct but gyroscopic precision would cancel it out. Basically it pokes a hole in the theory of what makes a boomerang turn in flight. When I first started building boomerangs I was told this by a few long time builders. Some even wrote books about it. None yet have explained the left handed boomerang turning to the right. This leads me to believe that gyroscopic precision is not what makes the boomerang actually turn in flight but has way more to do with the actual air foils on the wings as you stated.

[@VictorPoulin]

@@kylelambert1672 Correct my friend. My guess is that it did not want to turn or lift? My first boomerang was made out of a piece of sheet rock lol. I was around 9 years old and knew nothing about them except for the basic shape lol. One throw as it wobbled through the air, hit the ground and snapped in half. That was in 1979.

[@McBain86]

Love the Grimes "Genesis" playing at 3:35

Props for them putting Grimes in this video.

My original comment was meant to be endearing. Dont worry guy, I am sure they will let you suck them off, despite you nitpicking at my comment.

"Here is Marty trying to smash.........a boomerang world record"😆😆😂

[@0xCAFEF00D]

Funny. Just a day ago I found Phat Planet by Leftfield on Spotify and I really like it. And then when I got a strong desire to see large boomerangs thrown around I find that recognizable beat appears in the first video I find on throwing large boomerangs. 4:10 Small coincidences like that are always amusing.

[@yak55x]

It's not that you've shaped only one side, it's that the advancing blade has more airspeed and lift at 90 degrees to the direction of flight because rotational airspeed and forward velocity airspeed combine together. Opposite on the retreating blade of course.This differential in lift creates a force which through gyroscopic precession, causes the boomerang to pitch instead of roll. Then, when you throw the boomerang at a banked angle the pitching becomes a turning tendency. If you throw a boomerang perfectly horizontal it pitches straight up which illustrates the forces involved. I expect more from a professor. ( Not really) It took me years to figure this all out because of "experts" that repeated completely absurd theories that fall apart under the slightest scrutiny. .

why didnt they just get an Olympic discus or hammer thrower to launch it? like it would save them alot of time and they would probs get a better result

So for the record, does a human have to be able to throw it? Because you could obviously create a much bigger one given that the physics & aerodynamics wouldn't change much, but the energy required to put it in motion would.
