9:18 that is actually thematically appropriate for a Sokka themed episode. He often is seen getting wet or having something mildly annoying happen to him.
the bad throwing can be forgive since Sokka spent his whole life training to become a warrior for the water tribe and naturally would have been really good with the boomerang
"I can't throw it at peoples heads, and Nate won't let me throw it at his." Proof that Tyranth knows that Nate is not entirely a peoples. My guess is 1/64th Elf (Drow... probably).
I think nate is more Orc, or half orc, Elves even Drow hit ranged targets Nate barely hits them, and orcs stereotypically are not very great at accuracy.
@@VK-sz4it I disagree with your reasoning. It is very possible for there to exist good looking orcs and half orcs. It's also possible for there to exist very disturbing looking Elves and half elves. Basing a real person comparison to a fantasy race off looks then skills is not a great way to go about it. Going skills then looks is better because of the how fantasy wise skills are always rather stable over the fantasy races, while looks can vary wildly.
@marcogenovesi8570 Considering that most things in Australia literally just want you dead AND have the means to do it......I don't think a little piece of steel scares them. Probably some Freudian Causality type thing.
Yes new video!!! Ive been binge watching everything you had made since Ive learned about your channels. You rock!! ❤ And btw, great video! Your skills never stops to surprise me, be it combat skills or engineering ones. Good job! I only wish you posted more often. Tyranth teaaaaaaam!!!!! 🦖
Dude, respect on the "Shogun Warriors" comic, not many people know of it! I collected the whole original run, had to rebuild it all over again a few years ago.
You're not Tyranth!!!!! Tyranth would never admit to losing!!!!😁😁🤣🤣 Also shame you must have ran out time editing, as I feel the video is missing a " My Cabbages!!!!" when you tested cutting. 😁🤣
Tyranth, have you ever watched "Last of the Mohicans"? If not, there's a weapon in there very similar to the boomerang you're using called a gunstock warclub. In one particular scene, it's used as a throwing weapon.
First half of this video is an ad for why you shouldn't procrastinate or rush. Lol. And it's like 98.9% being made because you lost. It's okay, I'd do the same. 🤣🤣
You and the operator really should wear helmets with safety glasses when doing dangerous stuff like that. The boots part and cutting towards yourself were really risky. Your hands, feet and skull were under constant danger during this whole thing.
My first time seeing Screen Tested. I’m amazed you got everything in to a 15 minute video. I guess I’m used to Shad rambling on another 45 minutes for the same amount of information.
Plz plz plz revisit this and do more tests and maybe do a steel one when u have more time. I know u had no time but I would love a more in depth video on the boomerang. Not many people talk about it at all.
Super fun episode, and under a timer no less. Great job! You never cease to amaze with how much fun you have while testing the boundaries of physics and fiction turned reality. I was worried about the ice chopper to the feet test, especially the added difficulty of balancing on ice boots, but you still prevailed. Maybe it shouldn’t have been but that particular test was the one I was most skeptical about going in.
The original inventor of Aluminum spells and pronounces it Aluminum in the American way. The Brits and the Aussies are wrong on how to say and spell the word.
@@kingzach74 The Origins of the Element’s Name The earliest use of the element aluminum dates back to the early middle ages, in the form of a chemical compound named Alum, which was used for dyeing, medicine, and as a fire-resistant coating. Alum is a sulfate salt of aluminum, but the existence of the metal was unknown at the time. In 1595, Andreas Libavius proposed Alumina as the name for the yet-unidentified soil that formed the base of Alum. Sir Humphry Davy, a Cornish chemist and inventor, performed three unsuccessful attempts to isolate this unique element through electrolysis. He had so far been successful isolating potassium, sodium, calcium, strontium, barium, magnesium, and boron for the first time using this process. He was set on doing the same for this new metal. In a publication made in 1808, he stated that, had he been successful in isolating the metallic substance he was after, he would have proposed the name Alumium for this elusive element. Apparently unconvinced by this first name, he used the word Aluminum in a book published four years later when mentioning that “…Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state.” Nevertheless, other British chemists decided to adopt the name Aluminium. They thought it had a more classical sound and was in line with the ending of the other elements isolated by Davy. This confusion began the debate on the ending of the word that continues to our day. Aluminum vs. Aluminium aluminumThe termination -ium was quickly adopted in the United Kingdom, and therefore in most of the English-speaking world. However, in the USA, people used the -ium and the -um terminations in almost equal amounts. But the -ium termination was a bit more common since the metal was almost exclusively discussed in academic papers. Most ordinary people were not aware of the existence of this metal, and it was as uncommon for them to spell it as it would be for modern people to talk about the chemical element rhenium. This changed in the early 1900s as the metal became a more widely available product. More and more people were finding themselves in the situation of having to spell the name of this element properly. Most people likely relied on the Webster’s Dictionary, published in 1828, for this spelling. Noah Webster, the dictionary’s editor, favored the -um spelling so much that he omitted the -ium ending from his work altogether. The Webster’s Dictionary’s entry likely caused the noticeable shift in the early 1900s towards the word Aluminum in the United States, which culminated when the American Chemical Society officially adopted that spelling, separating it from the way the British spell it. On the other hand, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) officially adopted the word Aluminium in 1990. Still, North America seems quite satisfied with their own spelling. Should I be Using Aluminum or Aluminium? aluminium profileThe most comforting part of this story is that both Aluminum and Aluminium are accepted and correct. Aluminum is preferred in North America, whereas Aluminium is the spelling preferred in the United Kingdom and most other English-speaking nations. Just as it was back when Sir Humphry Davy published his results, it comes down to what you think sounds better for you.
this is the perfect video for winding down with dinner so I can sleep. Thanks, Tyranth XD I learn, and I just love it regardless that I don't make stuff.Also, come on, guys! 13K views and 1K likes??? LIKE THE VID IF YOU WATCHED IT!
I know there's really no reason to test how good a weapon it is...but one I've always wanted to see is Sting from The Hobbit...no no, not Peter Jackson's version. The version used in the 1977 Rankin and Bass animated The Hobbit. It had a rather unique look and I've never seen anyone try and make that version...always, ALWAYS it's the version from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series.
Awesome job! Have you considered making Sokka's war club? It's based on Native American weaponry. I'm wondering if that curved notch area is actually used for hooking the enemy's shield or weapons.
Tyranth, You're Australian, why are you calling it Aluminum (North America) not Aluminium (The rest of the planet)? you'd need a slightly curved upper surface to get a full return on the throw.
Sokka's boomerang isn't flat all over. Your bevel is too small, indicating that your boomerang is the same thickness throughout. His changes thickness which would affect the weight distribution and thus its ability to return.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted Sokka’s boomerang (always had a thing for axes, I’ve got like 7). You made it look easy to make, so I’m gonna make one for sure
14:10 "against my better judgment I will do something stupid as it.. is.. in my nature" 😆 The most male thing you could have thought and that represents most of us around the world 💪😂!
If you want a boomerang to return to you it should be built with aerofoil sections, like the little bumps and carvings on it's side. And most boomerangs are either left or right handed to have better aerodynamics. When you throw it don't give the throw too much power from arm but give it a lot of power from the wrist. Also throwing it on a 45° angle helps. If there is wind adjust accordingly. There are great channels on youtube that teach how to throw a boomerang and get it to return to you.
A couple of years ago I too made an aluminum Sokkas boomerang for my niece who wanted to be Sokka for Halloween. I found a 1/4 inch aluminum plate at the scrapyard and I gave it a false edge. We never tried to throw it of fully sharpen it though. I initially tried to forge one from steel but then found out how hard it is to get that sharp right-angle bend into an old leaf spring. Gonna try again with an old circular saw blade and just cut it out.
I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to side arm throw a boomerang, because the circle it'll travel is an upward motion like a trying to get it to do a backfill. It needs to be thrown vertically so is curves on a horizontal plane.
Would be interesting to do some parametric testing when not on such a time crunch... steel vs. aluminium, various aerofoil shapes vs. flat sides, even different proportions and differential thicknesses for the small and large sides.
after seeing this, i'm curious about the legend of Zelda boomerang, as a tested subject. it's just as big and it's made out of wood, also it's a great chance to show off wood working skills.
Massive respect that you take the time and dedication to do that! Super cool, definitely a great idol for people who want to make weapons! Way to go man💪🏼
