@Spray Made i wouldnt even comment on this video if it was 3 seconds of fidget spinner, but it was like 5 minutes or so of him playing with a fidget spinner, which has nothing to do with the title of the video, at all
And here I come, like some absolute casual, thinking that he's just gonna restore the axe's sharpness and then that's it. But no, he builds some friggin' sci-fi weapon out of the thing.
You saw how much trouble he had lifting the axe initially, no? By causing the weight to spin, just as he demonstrated with the fidget spinner, so long as you put some strength in changing the axis' direction, the law of conservation of angular momentum would keep the axe oriented in the direction of its axis (the handle). It's the same principle that allows people to ride their bike. After he 'fixed' the lifting limitation like this, he could position the axe the way he wanted. By causing the spinning weight to suddenly stop spinning, gravity took over and the axe fell down. The part about the split stone is about a different video he made some ways back, you should watch it!
But isn't it significantly more effort to build a gyroscopic ax with that heavy (and unbalanced) flywheel that you need a power tool to speed up every time you want to swing it than it is to make a regular ax that could actually be lifted? Or hey, since you have a power tool on you already, just use that to cut something. This man takes such a strange, roundabout method to accomplish everything he does
Ya, like...what? Eventually I expected Q-tips, a 1968 Chevy tail-light, a Pogo-stick and 3 ceramic garden gnomes. Just seemed like that was a completely natural expectation.
This is incredible! Not only is it an amazing and fun demonstration of physics, it's also a beautifully constructed device! Amazing work! And I'm sorry for your rock knife getting broken :(
Everyone is over here talking about the fact that this is confusing and shit.... But why aren't we talking about the fact he broke the rock knife RIP Rock Knife
I've been binge-watching Warhammer 40K stuff and this actually fits in with that overall aesthetic, considering he's basically made a gyro-enhanced axe.
i try to tell people about this video all the time but it's hard to adequately express how perfect it is without revealing the end the pacing is so perfect the mystery unfolds perfectly this is a masterpiece
I'm always like, "Uh huh, yup, he's restoring an old ax, cool cool." "Now he's sharpening the shit out of it, nice." "Ooo it's got lots of cracks tho, hopefully that won't affect the strength of the final product." "Now he's attaching...the...bike handle..." "And of course now we're...in the woods, re-burying our rock friend after accidentally defiling his corpse. Uh huh. Yup...yes."
I don't think he needs powertools to create something really amazing (but it's gonna be fun to watchXD). He could kill you with his chocolate knife!XDD
gotta defend himself from Truck-Kun. although "I'm the greatest Blacksmith in another world" could be fun to watch "hey black smith i need a new sword!" "let me fetch my yoghurt!"
If that was actully working w/e he put the axe up it would drag his arm and keep on spinning, in this case, he was able to hold it up still, that means or he was actually doing some crazy extra effort with that one arm to keep it from doing it ooooor the gyroscopic force wasnt actually in action there, which is my guess =)
"i put a spinning weight on my axe so i could lift it easier" "yes, thats all well and nice, but it wouldn't it be lighter and less complicated to use without the weight?" "get out."
@@michelle8000 I did, that's why I know the axe is just stupid. I just didn't study *gyroscope physics* , so if you would be so kind to enlighten us, it would be amazing.
@@skwisgaarskwigelf331 F=MA , elementary school physics my friend. U can generate force by increase either acceleration or mass . In this case A is G about 9.8m/s^2
Was trying to figure out what was going on the whole time but love that he totally over-engineered it into a gyroscopic axe pretty rad! This guy cracks me up in every video there's always a poor cucumber that meets its demise LOL
I never watched your pervious video (at least the rock knife part) but as an asian and phd in physics, i completed understand what you are doing here...it's really funny. :)
The time and effort he takes to manually sharpen a rusty axe is impressive. _This man is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. Something we know very little about..._
He sometimes use air guns, self-made medieval crossbows or other kinds of wepons able to fire proyectiles, though he usually use it to test how hard is the knife or make one, no against something else. If he wants to make a gun able to fire knives, he will need more time to be sure that all his knives are safe and will not be destroyed.
A Japanese guy wearing a mask and goggles burying something in the middle of a forest with a post apocalyptic battle axe next to him. *_That_* is the last thing I wanna see on a hike.
@@cycbuild also the fact that he didn't do a complete restoration of the axehead in the first place, rather, simply opting to sharpen the edge after smoothing off the surface.
IDK if any of you have noticed, but this dude makes knives out of pasta and milk. It's not about the quality, and it's not intended to be a tutorial to teach anything (even though it's a cool example of conservation of the angular momentum). This is just a fun project. Just that. He isn't going to sell it nor use it in his everyday life. He just had a concept, and he wanted to test it. Adding sand, or using better materials, or polishing the whole axe would have been a waste of time, pointless. The conservation of angular momentum works without ANY of that stuff. It's not meant to be practical. It's not meant to have good quality. It's just an interesting concept put to the test. Just that. And if you're looking for practical, quality made stuff in a channel about testing concepts, it's not that the creator has to improve, it's that you might be on the wrong place
