Dropping a Car from a Crane

Gav and Dan use a crane to drop a car from 80 feet up in the air-and the results are absolutely smashing! The Super Slow Show, only on KZbin.

[@nomadMik]

The fact that the cab was still relatively intact after the first drop makes me feel pretty good about the safety of modern cars.

[@alfa_guy09]

The good thing is that this isn’t even a very modern car, it’s a Chevrolet Cavalier probably from the late 90’s, not sure how fast this car was going when it hit the ground, probably 40-45, and 90’s cars weren’t made to safety standards of today, so yeah it’s impressive

The fact that the first drop left the cabin more or less intact is a testament to modern car safety.

[@josav09]

"3, 2, 1, Drop" My computer restarts. It was so perfect

[@jackielinde7568]

For those who are wondering (And Gav did ask), an object dropped from 80 feet (24.38 meters) would hit the ground at 21.86 m/s (78.70 km/h or 48.90 mph) Edit: Watching the car drop with the crumple zones, and yet how intact the passenger compartment really gives me a new appreciation of the engineering that goes into making crashes survivable. If you are wondering, the NHTSA tests cars using the "sled test", and, per this doc (www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/frtesv9.pdf) the front end crash test is performed at 48 MPH.

[@lucasmuller8082]

to be fair, im not sure you can say that car was still a car. it was more of a fine red mist

[@markussoder1811]

The driver would be fine... in gta V 😂😂

[@rubiconnn]

If it was GTA 5 the car wouldn't have had a scratch on it. Bad damage modeling.

[@MissileVidsYoutube]

Just cause has better damage modeling, pieces falling off, dents, scratches, dust, fading paint. Plus their practically invincible while your driving them, once you jump out though their like tin cans

[@mythicalgabplayz645]

GTA IV is much better when the car crashed

[@CelestinaakaClonaClox9999]

[@BetoPerez999]

"We hoped you enjoyed that *_MINDLESS_* destruction." Oh i did

[@josse13579]

This is also a perfect example of when you hit a car into a building or a tree. The higher up you lift the car, the more speed it has when it comes down, and the effect is the same as if you're on the road and hit your car into something. Drive safe ♥

[@Somestupiedbudee]

"We got a 40 ton crane lifting it up 80 feet, I wonder what speed it will be when it hits the floor?" Lets do some basic physics: We can use the 1d kinematic equation vf=sqrt(vi^2+2ad), where vi is the initial velocity of the car (0 m/s), a being acceleration due to gravity (roughly 10 m/s2)and d being 24 meters (80 feet in non science units). Plugging this all in we get 21.9 m/s as our final velocity. For non sciencey types, this is roughly 49 mph. The mass does not matter for velocity, as everything falling falls at the same rate. So it's a pretty fast hunk of metal.

[@xheppelin1827]

dednoob6 Probably still survivable though.

[@Calmqt]

[@fabiob7261]

i honestly donlt understand. I meam, even if you dont enjoy them doing big stuff, you still have years of content to watch until this lasts, which is a couple months. just pretend it is not there

[@KinesVildHasse]

Watched all of them, and I love them. Just my personal opinion, this feels like a sell out when Gav has cameras and creativity to do awesome stuff with out the big production, as we all have seen. Hope they got crazy $$$ for this.

I do enjoy this. But to be honest, you don't have to go that big to impress me. I think it's great you're having success and a big budget and a proper show and all that stuff, it's deserved! But actually the small things look great in slow motion too, it doesn't have to be a car or an entire shelf. Remember the milk with droplets video, or the small paint glasses with bangers? Watching these small particles or explosions in slow motion always blows my mind and makes the concept of time stand out even more than if there is too much going on like in a car crash or a big explosion. Old wisdom but true again: it's the small things! ;) Keep going and maybe take this opinion into consideration! Peace!

So I've been watching your channel now for a couple years and I'm wondering why you guys don't flim as quickly anymore. You used to get 170000 fps but now youre just doing 1000 and 2000 fps

[@enegetics5975]

They do still film at those higher speeds. This was all done last year for KZbin Original. They can't put out any more of their normal ones until the last of these clips is out.

[@OzillionPlay]

This is shot in 4K so they can only go up to 1000fps. The higher the frame rate the more light you need so with very high fps footage the resolution has to be significantly decreased or the video will be too dark. Because this is YT originals they are stuck shooting at very high resolutions so it looks more "professional" and "high quality".

[@SandyCrack69]

I don't think its so much to do with lighting levels as its would be easier to increase it with some 20k HMI's lights, I suspect its more to do with 4K camera technology only being able to able to process 1000 fps because of it resolution and geeky problems to do with write speeds

[@PhantomHighSpeed]

We're not sure about their agreement with KZbin in regards to resolution but you are all a little correct. There are a lot of factors that go into producing high-speed imaging. Write speeds, required resolutions, and lighting all factor into the equation. The trick is deciding what you want most and trying to push the limit while still balancing the other factors. ;) Great observations on all the "geeky" things.
