Steam machine gun part 1

[@itsdxll-p5z]

This show gets a lot more entertaining when you see Jaime as a veteran hit man teaching his tricks to Adam.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

Not far off....Jamie hired Adam for a time in the mid 90s and learnt him a lot of build techniques.

[@pawemichalski5043]

I love that smile on Jamie's face dissapered as soon as the gun stopped firing on first animation.

[@maximthemagnificent]

Since steam engines are known to have existed, it seems like they could've restricted themselves to just building and testing the actual gun part (and just use an electric or gas power source to spin it).

[@carpenter3461]

That wouldn't have been nearly as fun

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

While that would probably have logically proved things, it’s not really in the spirit of the show

[@JainaKeria]

Not really as steam behaves a lot differently. It's dangerous, messy, requires a large set-up and can be unreliable. Showing how cumbersome this myth is just proves how it's a myth.

[@averywilliams2140]

A slingshot does not use centrifugal force. A sling uses centrifugal force. A slingshot uses an elastic band. You're welcome.

A sling uses centripetal force, centrifugal force isn't a thing, the object gains tangential velocity from the constant circular accelleration

[@brianblankenship4611]

I can already tell before watching through. If you do get it to work. It won't be accurate at all. It's going to shoot every which way it feels like.

[@Onyxthefem]

[@walkingfunk]

steel balls suck compared to lead, not only is it lighter and won't hit harder or farther, the metal is harder and won't grab rifling on the way out of the barrel

[@99Knytes]

[@randywiggins1248]

The poor man's James Bond had description of gun. Barrel didn't spun but curved arm in housing launched balls. Problem was with feed mechanism. It would fire really fast and empty ammo hopper. More of a siege weapon. Confederacy had gunpowder.

[@speckledjim_]

[@Xanderviceory]

there was a supposed DREAD weapon system that never was fully developed that was an electric version of this. with refinement and a spinning blade it could be an incredibly damaging siege weapon

For the myth that doesn't matter, and infact steel balls would wind up being safer than lead balls.

[@Spoolingturbo6]

Anyone in 2021 watching this during the ammo shortage !?!?!

[@remcodenouden5019]

7:00 so they went with an oil barrel as "protection" against a machine that supposedly flings metal projectiles at velocities in the hundreds of feet per seconds?

[@pawemichalski5043]

This was intended to make sure that it will shoot only in one direction (the place where the hole is) by keeping the ball inside the gun barrel . It's not meant to be a protection of any sort.

[@borntoclimb7116]

this was a awesome myth

[@BoostedMonkey05]

Centrifugal force does not exist. It is just inertia. An object always wants to go in a straight line, this is why ye olde slingshots were very accurate. The object wants to go at a tangent from the orbit and that is what's pushing the ball outward.

[@anon8740]

Technically centrifugal force does exist but only when working from a rotating reference frame.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

@@anon8740 no it doesn't. Centripetal force does and the rope that connects the sling pouch to your hand creates that force. Centrifugal doesn't. The object in a sling pouch still wants to go at a tangent to the orbit but the pouch and the string is preventing that. Same with if you were going around swinging a bucket of water around.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

@@anon8740 if you were to slow down that same bucket, what would happen is that the water wants to go at a straight line but the bucket is there to catch it and they are moving at the same speed. If you stop moving the bucket, the water will spill out because it still wants to go in a straight line.

[@anon8740]

@@BoostedMonkey05 When using the ground as a stationary reference point, everything you said is true, but you've gotta remember that there is no reason to use the ground as the standard for what is stationary, the earth is rotating while orbiting the sun which is orbiting the center or the milky way, the the ground isn't really stationary at all. So, why not see what happens if we pick an alternative stationary reference, for example, the rope. If we lock onto the rope for a reference frame then it'll look like the world is rotating around it, the bucket will be stationary relative to the rope and the water will still not fall from the bucket, because of centrifugal force. Really, this is just the equal and opposite reaction to centripetal force, but depending on your reference frame, it may appear. Which is why it's called a fictitious or apparent force.

[@anon8740]

@@BoostedMonkey05 Check out the wikipedia page on the fictitious force for a better explanation than i can provide
