World's Longest Home Run (The "Mad Batter" Machine) - Smarter Every Day 230

[@smartereveryday]

Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid? Also, thank you to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon.

@@anamayarawa514 a bat is approx 86cm long. so thats the radius. 2*Pi*86cm = approx. 540cm. so thats the outline of the full circle.

[@theshinyskuntank5955]

The "Helicopter" has entered the field!

[@grintrap4455]

Well, actually, if the bats rotated as they spun (or spun as they rotated?) they would develop aerodynamic properties and you could have some lift. I have seen some experimental wind turbines that work like that. Something to think about! 🤓 (I am actually in the power industry)

[@mrkeefor]

Looked like on the very last shot it was starting to take off

[@kg4boj]

@@mrkeefor The vibrations from such a setup will do that. In helicopters the rotors have several degrees of freedom to lead and lag as well as bounce up or down as this effect is called ground resonance and will rip a rotorcraft to pieces, there are a few youtube videos of this on various rotorcraft testing and proving trials.

@Gil Andrei Sotomayor Figueroa those are not accurate. Those where distances after ball stopped rolling. All these juiced freaks now days cant even come close is a big red flag to those 580 ft so called hR by ruth and mantle

[@robpowers27]

Cesar Perez You have to realize that Babe Ruth used a 42 ounce bat and never lighter than a 38 ounce bat. Even the big guys nowadays only use a 34 ounce bat. There have been studies done that show the stronger guys would produce optimum distance with a bat around 50 ounces. Considering that the pitching wasn’t as good, he could and did swing as hard as possible every single time.

[@robpowers27]

Tim Snortin' Babe Ruth himself said he swung as hard as possible every single time. All the video of his at bats show the same. There is no way pitching was as difficult to hit back then. Not even close. Very few pitchers in his day had any hard breaking stuff like a slider, let alone with a 6 inch break.

[@alishanmao]

Wait, use that supersonic Baseball canon to shoot a baseball at these rotating bats :D that will be awesome.
