Unbelievable Japanese Spinning Top Competition !

A competition between two Japanese teams for longest rotating spinning top.

[@12346unkown]

Can you imagine how long inception would have been if they used the master craftsmen top? 😅

hahahahahahaha

KZbin: You are interested in spinning tops now. Me: wtf are you talking abo- *watches entire thing on the edge of my seat*

[@SurajGrewal]

Man I love it when craftsmen win over scientists and computerized machine users.

[@UnderearthEDO]

Implying CNC users aren't crasftsmen of their own sort is pretty insulting. It's like saying the older guys in this video aren't craftsmen because they didnt hand carve the thing like people before them who had no machines at all.

[@themadscientest]

If it wasn't for precision machining we wouldn't have modern yoyos, which are an absolute blast to play with.

[@tamatoa8261]

This is some amazing stuff. Why aren't there more views? 🤷

[@xander_vi]

Now I want to see a whole anime about engineers and engineering battles/competitions

[@SunnyWebeSimile]

The ultimate custom Beyblade match, where touching your opponent is so suboptimal the authorities gave up on using an arena that would allow it; the players never bothered with it, so why should the entire sport? Also the voice over only partially blocking the original voice is the funniest thing ever

[@oculusangelicus8978]

The space age team's top is hollow, and because it has mass on the top of the hollow section that gives it instability at low speeds, but the Master Craftsman's top was not hollow but was tapered from the shaft to the exterior weight and this gave it much better low speed stability than the other team's top. they deserved to win. Old age and treachery will win out against youth and vigor every time! LOL

[@harshinde2905]

This used to be my favourite show!! Where can I find more episodes anyone?? Thanks!

[@thepoisan6039]

For those interested in this program😊 This program is "超絶 凄ワザ!" (X-technology "SUGOWAZA") that was broadcast on a Japanese station called NHK (like BBC in England).

[@harshinde2905]

Hii, do you know where can I watch more episodes of this show? It was my favourite show as childhood.. Nostalgia!!❤

[@jvcardesign]

Amazing stuff here. WoW This should be shown in Schools!!!

[@independentmind1977]

I make these out of wood on a lathe. I learned a lot today! The engineering was awesome behind these.

[@OldCarsAreFun]

2:13 rough surface for the tops. Guess the ballbearing had more friction than the point on this surface

[@UnitSe7en]

Americans: How big is a 1 yen coin? Show: 2 centimetres! Americans: Thanks, that cleared it right up.

[@EastCoastMan603]

Awesome. W Japan !

[@Tailspin80]

The record is over an hour. The manufacturing skills are good but it is the design that matters. Tops lose energy as they pump air from the centre to the outside, so optimising airflow is crucial. Also very important is making the centre of gravity just fractionally higher than the pivot point. Watch this record breaking design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goW5mZWCpbalgNUsi=Kt_lNNhBG37WkLL9

[@whitelion7976]

I like this a lot as it shows you how good old fashioned engineering is. No computers and the winner. Congratulations to the winners a minute means a lot in space.

[@letshugitout2178]

Such respect in victory and in loss. America could learn something here

[@waltoopoyndeaux4199]

This was riveting!

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

I recently watched a guy that built a top that spun for 33 minutes. He should be on here.

[@deaftodd]

How long would it last if those were started at 30k RPM

[@Ken-nv2hl]

If the master craftsmen had a tungsten sleeve it would of lasted almost twice as long.

[@chawlagrv]

or 1 minute less

[@btwbrand]

Tungsten ring around an aluminum core and a hand spin on a well designed and balanced top can spin 30 minutes on a glass surface.

[@RRED2]

Very cool idea 😅😅😅😅😅

[@MrMohamedadnan]

Nice

[@smashingpumpkin1986]

Spinningaaaa topuuu!

[@qwicy]

Dig the hype!

[@Gorrafunesta]

TOP

[@kennyh5083]

It's hard to predict? It ain't hard to predict at all!

[@thinkingmushrooms2943]

so dramatic 😂

[@SurajGrewal]

bayblade for adults.

[@Zohar-Modifier]

Human skills won :) Technology aided human lost !

[@CountJeffula]

This video demonstrates why television has been surpassed by KZbin and content creators in most of the world. I’ve watched interesting top making videos on KZbin that were more interesting and with none of the distracting theatrics and filler rhetorical questions. Content creators also talk about the ‘lathe’ and manufacturing techniques as well as strategy like using rubies, tungsten, and distributing mass to maximize angular momentum without hand wavy imprecise ‘explanations.’ This tv edit assumes the average viewer is wowed by technical prowess and incapable of or not wanting to know more about the technical nitty gritty.

[@btwbrand]

The devil is in the details and we were all warned against dealing with the devil. Literally the people who push beyond common knowledge are those who defy the warnings and ask questions on their road of knowledge. I can't speak for all areas teaching methods but in my general area asking questions is a quickly unlearned behavior.

[@stretchmfe4913]

20:00 minutes in: Why am I expecting the Squid Games doll to open the door?

[@robelengida6211]

Wow, I want to move here.

[@wonggran9983]

I have a theoretical fly-wheel design: light absorbing material all around the wheel, light fires from the top of the wheel, can be high energy light and really fast spinning wheel depending on light-aborbed amount per area on the wheel

[@wonggran9983]

no need for segments of the light absorbing material, actually the requirement for this design is that the material is continuous around the wheel

[@Spiethstar]

What's with the commentary.. Sounds like a meh discovery channel production..

[@ShamblerDK]

This looks like it was recorded 12 years ago and not 2 years ago. The video quality is atrocious.

[@btwbrand]

This was a 2 part episode released on Sep 3rd and Sep 10th 2015. The footage in this was from the Sep 10th episode. It was nearly 8 years ago. The video was uploaded to KZbin as 480P but was broadcast in 1080p for television.

[@the_grand_tourer]

What an aweful film !!! I kept skipping through hoping the over the top music and rediculous voice over had stopped !! But it didn't, I gave up ...

[@mhxxd4]

Fml

[@devaconcc9038]

Record speed is about 70 minutes I think.

[@happylittlelife4957]

experience over education.

[@marmitaa8619]

Lmao. Calling a gear inside the iss a top is ridiculous.
