We try to make regular soccer balls hold really high pressures by reinforcing them with flex tape and duct tape! We also explode the bicycle wheel that survived the Sunday's video
Since we had left over Flex tape from HPC video we decide to try reinforce some balls with it :D If you have good ideas for the compressor please let me know. I tried to explode car tires but I have to get better fittings so air doesn't leak out. Compressor is really slow so we can't do anything like 100 liter air tank but I might explode our old small 10 bar compressor :D
@Anni Vuohensilta Did you mention "duck tape"? Here u r www.castorama.pl/produkty/narzedzia-i-artykuly/mocowania-i-laczenie/tasmy-i-kleje/tasmy/tasma-naprawcza-duck-50-mm-x-5-m-srebrna.html 😁
The Voice over makes me laugh. “There is no way the balls are not gonna explode today” Is pretty much the best quote ever muttered on RU-vid. Greetings from the central California Sierra mountain range, we love you two.
There actually is a brand of duct tape called "Duck Tape" because so many people think that is the real name. This tape was originally used to seal up the seams in air ducting (or air ducts) in heating and cooling systems in houses and other buildings. Thus the name "duct tape".
@@Anniarvaja If you look up "duct tape" in wikipedia it says that another name for it is "duck tape". Apparently so many people call it duck tape that it has become an alternate name for it. So actually you were not wrong at all!
Duct tape was once called Duck Tape. It was originally used in WW2 under the US Designation of Adhesive Tape, Rubberized. The GIs called it Duck Tape, for the way water slid off it like rain from a duck's back. In the Vietnam War, it was called 100 mile per hour tape because it would stand up to high winds and was even used in the field to temporarily patch holes in helicopter rotor blades. Later, veterans brought the tape home and it found common usage in home repair. Since it was simple and sealed well, companies began trading out the green color for silver and marketing it as tape for home heating ducts. Hence, Duct Tape.
Great demonstration of how a bicycle wheel fails when it has been used beyond the service life of the brake track, only the failure tends to occur while being ridden due to the rider braking or just additional stresses of bumps in the road. As you can imagine, it's fairly violent in motion.
5:30 That's actually a very common misconception. A lot of people call it "duck tape" and not "duct tape". It doesn't help that a popular brand in the States is actually called "Duck" and has a duck on it's logo. Duck brand duct tape is the only duct tape I like to use, it sticks better than most while still being easily tearable off the roll by hand. Ironically, the tape isn't actually really suitable for ductwork and tends to fail over time, there are much better tapes for ductwork.
Anni Vuohensilta even here in the UK some people say duck tape, some duct tape and others call it gaffer tape due to its use sticking guitar and microphone leads down on stage floors by the gaffers.
the original name actually WAS "duck tape". It was developed by Johnson and Johnson in World War II for the US troops to waterproof their ammo cans. The name came from the fact that it shed water like water of a duck's back and also the material it was made of.. a rubber-based adhesive with a duck cloth backing (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_duck). After the war, troops were accustomed to using the tape to seal things up and continued to use it for such tasks during the post-war housing boom... notably to seal ductwork. The company then changed the color from olive drab to silver for that use and it came to be known as duct tape
The original name was duck tape, you can even read it on johnson and johnsons webpage The tape is NOT good for air ducts, and was only used for it after the war when soldiers came home with the "duck tape" that was originally designed to seal ammunition boxes.
I had a tire explode while riding my bicycle; took off one of the rims and scared the everliving daylight out of anyone in 300m radius. Ah... brings back memories.
I had a bicycle tire explode while I was inflating it at about 5 bar (it wasn’t a mountain bike tire and was rated for 4-6 bars). It was such a massive bang that not only did my ears ring, I felt dizzy.
I aired up some road tires and left them in my garage overnight to see if they had any leaks. Got the same gunshot style bang in my garage from one of the tires. Great way to get ready for bed lol.
Had a tire get punctured (and tube too) from running over a camouflaged piece of metal before. I heard a stretch sound and BANG seconds later, then I stopped after 20 seconds to check. I thought the motorist blew his tire! (he pulled over to check too).
First time I've seen a bicycle rim explode! Saw several tires explode though. If your compressor doesn't blow the tire they make a high airflow tool called a bead locker that shoves a car tire onto the rim fast enough to seal using just air pressure. Fairly cheap if you want to try it. Great video!
When you use the ‘Duck’ tape, after you’ve put it on get a heat gun and heat up the tape, it will melt the glue slightly and form a better bond so you might get more pressure in. Just an idea 💡
ANI is correct regarding the TAPE. It was originally called "Duck Tape" when it was invented during WWII and was green in color. Later on it was called "Duct Tape" and silver in color because of limited use with ducting.
Sorry friend. Your accent is funny to me sometimes. I really got a laugh when you said “the balls are really going to explode today”. Love your videos.
Duck tape was duck tape before adhesive tape was even a thing. Long strips of cotton duck fabric were soaked in linseed oil and used to wrap the cables of bridges to protect them. Some of the earliest home made adhesive tapes were these same strips of cotton duck fabric coated with a homemade rubber adhesive produced from inner tubes which recipe was published in magazines of the time. It is this early adhesive tape that evolved into a type of tape designed to keep ammunition cases dry(like water off a duck), and then into what we now call duct tape, but it has a long history predating it's use in air conditioning ducts or even being an adhesive tape! So Anni is correct with her belief in the name Duck Tape!
Oh and duck tape is a brand and the original name, based on the cotton ducking used to make it. It was originally meant to waterproof ammo cans in WWII. GIs learned during the war they could use it for many other things. After the war hvac companies started using a similar reinforced tape that wasn't as thick. Then then name change happened and became duct tape because it was used to seal the joints in duct work. Duck tape brand is based on the original
If you guys want to do a really violent explosion, without using anything flammable, try bursting old scuba diving tanks. Those tanks have a useful life and have to be destroyed after they show to expand too much when full, so you can probably get them cheap before they're recycled. The explosion they make when you overfill them is enough to probably tear a hole in a wall, but I'd love to see it. Kippis!
Do a whole sticky tape special with all different kinds of tape, mostly duct taped items. Not too large so you're not wrapping things in tape all day, just small to medium sized items. Find anything with a valve that's flexible; inflatables, pool toys, different sports balls....a smaller number 7 soccer ball would be a lot harder to pop and make a louder bang than that number 5 size (I think they are the right size numbers). I bet a with the force needed to pop a smaller ball, it would literally turn itself inside out! And with the bicycle tyre, use ordinary cello tape but LOTS of it. Wrap it around the rim and tyre between the spokes until it triples in diameter. You might need 50 rolls but if you have a pump strong enough the bang would be colossal!
You haven't seen anything till you see a rear RM250 dirt bike tire explode, had a friend filling his rear tire for first time.. 80+psi later booooooommmmm tore the side wall and blew out a few wires in the tire.. Amazing he didn't get hurt.
I told someone that "duck tape" was for hunters, it's the fastest way to feather a duck! 🤣 had her convinced that there was also a "turkey tape", which is the same as duck tape, but wider rolls.
That's awesome, I had no idea the rim would give out like that, I would try an old steel rim from a cheap bicycle that has no brake seam, that could be pretty explosive!
You guys should explode the rubber bladder from a hydraulic accumulator, I have done this a few times at work with some colleagues. I don't think it takes huge pressure, we did it with regular shop air line pressure but I don't know what pressure it burst at. The largest one we have done is 32 Litre but standard sizes go up to 50 Litre (nominal accumulator volume but same approx as rubber bladder before you start to inflate it - it will stretch a LOT). Makes a big bang and lots of people came out of neighbouring factories to see what happened. I imagine it would be expensive to buy a new one, best to try to get an old accumulator that has been replaced (they quite often get replaced under pressure equipment directive), then take the bladder out. Obviously do not even consider exploding the steel shell of an accumulator as the burst pressure is likely to be into thousands of bar and it would basically be a bomb going off.
Another informative an entertaining video, I would never expect less. Anni, originally it was duck tape because it was used by farmers to get their ducks fattened for the holidays 😈. Looks like autumn is settling in already in Finland, must be nice to have more than two seasons.
When we were kids, we hooked up a garden hose to a inner tube from a car, and turn the water on. We took turns jumping over the tube as it got bigger, and the looser would get all wet when it exploded. It would be interesting to see how long it would take to explode one of those large truck inner tubes.
For a fun test.... Get propane tank with propane in it,,,,, seal off the safety valve.... Hook high pressure Oxygen hose to it and add oxygen till BOOOOM ! ! ! . I really like all your channels...... Thanks for sharing the fun ! ! ! ! ! ! On each of your channels, its good to have the links to your other channels so they are easy to find ! ! !
@@exquisitearangement man i dont intend to piss you off but those compresors are made for high presure and have very low air flow and to spinn things it could be very difficult because of that a normal compressor with a small nozzel would work better or a air bottel filled with 300bar
Would be feasible to compress air to a cylinder capped off by a piston, and then push that piston with the Smashinator Five Million, to send, what would now be effectively a blast, to the attached target?
When f1 teams make carbon fibre panels for race cars they lay one layer of carbon fibre in up/down direction then the next layer in a left/right direction and this doubles the strength with every 2 layers that is added to any given panel. If you do the duct tape football again and apply this theory with carefully and accurately adding layers in opposite directions it will probably take a lot more pressure before it explodes. Maybe go as far as a 2 layer duct tape football, a 4 layer duct tape football, a 6 layer duct tape football and so on. Footballs and duct tape are cheap so should be inexpensive video to produce.
There is a DUCK tape brand that has a little yellow duck on it. Most people, even Americans than speak and hear english everyday think people are saying DUCK tape instead of DUCT tape.
I would think the best tape would be one that doesn't stretch at all. If it stretches, the ball has room to reach the volume at which it would explode normally. If it's being compressed by the tape, it should be able to last longer under higher pressure.
I actually had my bicycle tire explode inside my apartment, really loud. :D Full story is that I switched to smaller tires without changing inner tubes so they were a poor match. I managed to get inner tube stuck between the rim and the outer tube. I also store my race bike inside since some bikes have been stolen from the building's bicycle storage, and living on the first floor makes it easy. On the same morning I decided to top the pressure to near max recommended (8 bar or ~116PSI). So these things combined resulted in one hell of a bang, spilled morning coffee and maximum spooks until I found the culprit. The bang wasn't even directional due to the loudness, first I thought there was a short in kitchen power lines or something. Pics: i.imgur.com/V425yPQ.jpg i.imgur.com/QR852WE.jpg
When you fill the car tire, take out the stem of the fill valve. It's the center thing, it can be screwed out and a way bigger volume of air can go through.
07:50 - Only Lauri would have a stunt tyre ;-) Quite surprising the rim was the weak point on the bicycle wheel. Really would not have expected that. As Lauri would say - very interesting!
To be fair about the duct tape vs duck tape thing, in America at least we have a brand of duct tape with a duck on the logo that is literally called Duck Tape
I remember when kids could get their bike tires filled for free at the gas station and this result was a regular occurrence. I guess in those days they weren't made for 150psi.
