Okay well the story is that in Japan, there's a roller coaster that kept shattering people's bones. Because of that, it's currently shut down and not doing any bone shattering.

@@paradiseexpress3639 no

not speed; acceleration

@@SebWilkes That thing had such a high velocity over such a short amount of time that I think it skips acceleration being relevant and goes to the next time derivative of jerk. That's the measure that an accelerated rollercoaster makes you feel the most; it's so intense and your mind is just absolutely confused as to what is happening with jerk levels like that.

You really do quickly get comfortable with acceleration though and want something faster

Trouble is it's Switzerland. Having built their engineers, they're then told that there's a whole ton of laws that stop them having fun with their newly minted talents. Want to go fast-ish on the road? No. Want to build a dedicated racetrack on which to race it? Sorry, no. Want to make something noisy? Again, no. Want to wash it on the driveway on a Sunday morning? Sorry, no, not even that. Want to flush the toilet after 10pm having just designed it? Probably no. Want to emit a particle of smoke grilling some Gruyere at the party celebrating having built something? Again, probably no. Etc.... Want to have a firing range where the bullets are passing over a motorway? Surprisingly, yes! That last one is another Tom Scott vid, though the "safety" case for the range does rather assume that all ammunition is equal, and you never ever get a partially dud round that doesn't achieve the expected muzzle velocity.

_in_spiring, I conjecture?

@@RossReedstrom I dunno; if it leaves them-out-of-breath, it could be EXpiring.

Inspiring, is what I am thinking.

Hopefully it's just to train engineers, cause of all the stuff Tom has ever shown, this is the least inspiring , and that includes staring at toast for 2 hours and the rainy cart ride. It's electric for 2 seconds. It's not difficult to do with big motors, big batteries and not having to worry about anything having time to get hot. The only thing neat about it is the ground suction, but even that is nothing new and something any engineer ought to be familiar with. it's how industrial printers got over not enough friction for paper to move through them fast enough 30 years ago. I'm more inspired by the "Power Racing Series" where you have to take a powerwheels kids toy and $500 and compete in actual races for 15 minutes and a 75 minute endurance race.

@@johngaltline9933 if it's not difficult to do, you do it. i bet with your immense intellect and incredible understanding of engineering, you could do it

It was actually 1.398 seconds, so a bit longer than 1 second.

Dont want to be the "achksually" guy but going fast speed doesnt affect the feeling of how slowly time passes. Nevertheless it's very interesting

It wasn't really fast, it was really quick.

@@mixuaquela123 If your reference point is most normal matter, then sure. However biology very likely has mechanisms that naturally result in the sensation of a time inverval, and that can change based on the amount of data your brain has to process (for survival etc.). Time flies when you're having fun, and slows right down when you are in danger!

Going to jump on the nitpick bandwagon here and say that he wasn't really going faster than any regular car (100 km/h max), it was just his acceleration that was high.

I love it when people I know do amazing things. It reminds me that people can be fantastic.

Hammond?

​@@diegobert4033exactly

"HAMMOND!!"@@diegobert4033

I'm impressed by how much they trust the brakes to not fail while facing the run path directly into several parked cars.

The suction fans do 70% to 80% of the job to keep the car on the ground as much as possible without having to make it heavier and thus harder to stop its momentum. This technique is used in competitive RC racecars in very small tracks to keep the cars on the ground while they run at incredibly high speeds. The grip from the tires is just there to add as much friction as possible.

The world record from 0-100-0 for both kmh and mph looks beatable by that car.

@@Lonech It's a combination of the electric engine cutting off and brakes. The gears are no longer getting power so that means the brakes don't have to do that much at all. Plus with it being fairly lightweight, it's not a lot of force to begin with.

You are seriously more impressed by the light weight car braking with the already built in traction increases rather than it going 0-100 in under 1s with a driver in it??????

Good luck with your career in motorsports! Our electronics program in high school did a total conversion of an 80's Pontiac from gas to full electric and it was one of the hardest projects I worked on.

FSAE makes the best engineers for any industry, not just motorsports.

Same for me. I learned so much during my 4 years of FSAE, more than any class could ever teach. Now I’m doing my dream job as an F1 engineer! If are an aspiring engineer and you have the chance to join a student team (doesn’t have to be race cars), please take it!

Same here!! Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Not FSAE but i took part in creating a hill climb prototype as a student project last year (as an aero engineer), the amount of experience and skill i gained in that single year is invaluable and it was the most gratifying thing being able to drive it in Assetto Corsa with our simulation results and seeing it actually be fast. If you get the opportunity to do something like that, do it and give it your all cause you might not get another opportunity

That's exactly what I thought😂

I knew he wanted to cuss but stopped himself.

He definitely earned my respect there.

He did curse when he burned his hand in the Tom Scott Plus blacksmithing video. He bleeped it out though.

I've known he was a true professional when he was doing a stand-up comedy routine about emojis, someone bumped a glass, and he immediately paused for an edit break and picked up right where he left off. And it wasn't until it was pointed out afterward that he noticed it. He just automatically does these things. And that's why he's so damn good at it!

What I came here to say. Cheeky video editors is one reason I like RU-vidrs so much!

Another one… another one… another one

I was thinking the same thing and had flashbacks like Vietnam

He crashed, thought that was very clear

Nice observation!

You notice how hard and deep breaths he has to take after.. His heart is beating at a crazy pace as well. + 3 g’s.

I am quite sure that except the automatic shutdown they're relying on the fact that energy amount in the accumulators won't be powering the motor for more then maybe 10 meters after the mark.

The car would automatically shut down when it reaches 100km/h, they are really confident with their contraption more like 😅

​@@ak_norathe power shuts off but it was still up to Tom to apply the brakes

​@@mxhddrElectric cars do not work the same. As soon as the power cuts off, the motors cause friction which equals auto braking

@@DJR000Electric motors only apply proper braking force if the generated electricity is dumped into a load. If you just disconnect them, they will not do much in the way of braking at all.

What about the pump that sucks air up from underneath? Isn't it meant to increase traction too?

wasn't Tom2 a different Tom?

If the acceleration wasn't uniform, the peak would be even higher.

This would feel like suddenly travelling up hill on a 65 ish degree slope against over double Earth's gravity. Mind-blowing

Try about 4G in a dragster doing 0-100 km/h in 0.7 seconds. And then continue to 282 km/h in 4 seconds. It is really fun. 😁

hes had more and less

Tom experienced acceleration from both gravity and the machine. Vector maths go!
