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.

Most Laserdiscs were double-sided - at some point in the movie, you'd have to take the disc out and flip it - which explains the splitting. There are actually two layers of film sandwiched between two plastic plates, if I recall my outdated media formats correctly.

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.

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.

Slightly off(this video's) topic: Would making a video of a cloud chamber be an idea worth looking into? Seeing those trails forming by cosmic rays in slow mo would be/could be something to marvel at... Love the science, that you do on this channel, fellas!

I have a video idea if youre interested: recently saw a demonstration where a guy put a piece of cotton into a clear piston apparatus, when he pressed down on the piston (thus conpressing the air in the chamber holding the cotton) this created so much heat in the chamber that the cotton ignited causing the piston to shoot back up. Would be cool to see that slowed down :)

OMG OMG! Finally! I've been posting on videos of people spinning CDs up until they explode to do it with a Laserdisc for years! Finally somebody did it! Thank you!

Very cool! The discs weren't very well centred though, which I think is why the whole set up was wobbling so much. The discs might have held together up to a much higher speed if they'd been better balanced. Time for a 3D-printed hub mount!

Maybe the next you do something like this, you could try using some sort of conical shapes nut or washer to more easily center the disc on the shaft?
@DysonParkes
@DysonParkes 10 ай бұрын
I was going to suggest a regular washer, tapered washer (to get even clamping with the first washer), then tapered nut to hold and clamp the assembly. So washer, item, washer, tapered washer, nut - for even clamping and support with centering.

I honestly believe slowing down reality is just as important as zooming in (to atoms). I am absolutely FASCINATED by reality slowed down. It definitely answers questions/theories. 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. So much to do and learn.

Reminds me of my drag racing days when more than once flywheels and clutches came apart and exited cars. Some even made it to the spectators and over the years more and more safety steps were required. It never happened to me, but I'm sure I was right at the edge sometimes. Loved those days!
