Speaking of pressure being force over area. Another common misconception is that surface area does not affect friction. The only thing that affects friction is weight and the frictional coefficient. If you increase surface area, you also have to decrease thickness otherwise you’re adding more weight which makes it an unfair comparison. The formula for friction is Friction Force = frictional coefficient of material x the weight of said material.

The coolest thing about the science behind Why the tungsten cube is virtually unbreakable is due to the same hardness scale as gemstones when it comes to metals Metal and Gemstones have a scale of hardness and durability which in some cases is increased with mass. That's a solid cube of tungsten which makes it very durable because now you just have layers upon layers of a thick piece of metal to go through, Steel like the fist stands virtually no chance because its hardness compared to the tungsten are leagues apart It's like taking phosphophyllite and trying to use that to bust a diamond with it you have polar opposites on the hardness scale going up against one another and the highest number will always be the winner in that case. Mass would come into play say if it was Tungsten against Tungsten, Mass would play a part in that battle, the larger more solid cube would potentially win but you also have to account for they still have the same hardness level and usually can Smack against each other with no problem.

[@BlizzardSnowMew]

What you need is a new dart: Solid steel on the bottom half with tungsten in the tip and aluminum in the top half. This way the tip is the heaviest and it won’t tilt sideways in the air. You could use a tungsten cube angled to use one of its corners as the tip, encased in the solid steel part of the dart. The top half could be a steel shell and used as a mold to dump molten aluminum into to add weight while keeping the center of gravity near the tip.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

For that short of a drop it would need far more aerodynamic balancing than the steel fletching their large dart. Something as heavy as that would need a drogue or pilot chute, perhaps a meter or more in area, tied to the center of the tail. To be honest, even their large dart is not adequately balanced aerodynamically for that short of a drop, and it doesn't help that the tail is all mangled up causing uncoordinated flight. A chute is soft and can withstand impact, as well as easily replaced on site as needed. It won't slow it down much at all in a 40m drop, as it would still be accelerating and wouldn't even be close to approaching terminal velocity before impact. The less viable options are to bolt on grid fins like what's used on the MOAB and SpaceX boosters, or simple retarding petals like on a snake eye bomb. Furthermore, for the tungsten penetrator tip, it would be better for the tungsten to encase the steel rather than the steel encase the tungsten. In other words, the steel section would fit into the tungsten as opposed to the tungsten fitting into the steel. This allows the tungsten to do all of the hard work and protect the softer steel body. Tungsten tip penetrator ammunition is not made in this way simply because the parent projectile is designed to be mostly sheared off, leaving only the tungsten to do the work of piercing through hardened armor. Great for single use high velocity ammunition, not so great for a low velocity reusable dart. As for filling with aluminum, sure, if the body is hollow and not solid steel. It would be more about strength than balance though, as an aluminum filled steel tube won't be substantially lighter, aerodynamically speaking, than a solid steel body...but it will be nearly as strong as a solid steel body. The strength will come from the steel, and the aluminum is there to prevent compressive forces from deforming the steel and causing weak points. Not a good idea to pour molten aluminum in the steel tube though, the difference in thermal expansion between the two metals will leave the aluminum undersized when it cools and no longer a tight fit in the body. Better to machine a billet of aluminum to the size of the tube and press it in. Of course, a solid steel body will be stronger and heavier, and with proper aerodynamic balancing, it won't matter about mass balancing.

New idea: hulk fist dropped onto items with tungsten cube on top of them so it punches through??

Yes

Yes, cube hole punch, literally

Can probably make a tungsten dart out of round stock too!

[@dantesgospel8369]

A lot of friends were a loss today split, opened, cracked, traumatized, but for the greater use

[@joshcaldwell4885]

Seeing as the mega dart is already in need of servicing, it would be cool to see what it could do if you guys had a tungsten tip put on it!

[@danasievert5059]

I like where your mind is at. I had the same idea and was about to post it when I saw that you beat me to the punch.

Damn it, I posted that and seen this right after.

[@canyonrider493]

Wouldn’t it simply break away at its attachment point to the dart? Now, a dart made out of solid tungsten....the boys might find magma.😂

[@joshcaldwell4885]

@@canyonrider493 Lord help us all if there’s ever a solid tungsten dart of this size, especially in their hands lmao. As far as the durability of mating a tungsten alloy to whatever steel the rest of the dart is made of, I really don’t have the knowledge to say. If they were to have a tungsten tip shrink fitted to the shaft of the dart I would guess that it would hold up until the shaft of the dart bends
