I did a report for a class on the best wood for making bats. It involved a lot of math jargon about elasticity, but in the end, the most consistent way to hit a fast ball as far as possible was to either make contact with a really heavy bat, or swing a light bat very fast. Nowadays, using a heavy bat is almost certain to fail because of the high pitch speeds in the MLB, but it also explains why Babe Ruth could swing a super heavy bat (46 oz.) and hit so many homeruns in an era where the average fastball was probably going in the mid 80s. Enjoy the random factoid, and have a good one!

@SkyelarHead 4 года назад

The physics of why the ball went the same distance is the fact that your body can output a certain amount of momentum. Momentum is mass * velocity so with the small bat you have a small mass which has a higher velocity while swinging. With the large bat you have a high mass and a smaller velocity. Both of these momentums will be about the same which means the energy transfered to the ball will be about the same causing it to go the same distance.

@jamesandonian7829 4 года назад

Use a big lathe to bore out most of the center but keep the handle solid for strength. Like drill a 2" hole down the center halfway down the bat from the thick end. Cut down the weight by let's say 3-4lbs, since its at the far end of the bat it will really help a lot.

@bobbeekrause179 4 года назад

If you try this bat project again in the future, try making the precut profile an 1/8" or so larger. That way there's a little more material for the water jet to bite into when you're doing the final pass set at its final profile dimensions while the lathe is spinning. Also, it seems like the speed of the lathe deflects too much water each time the jet hits another facet in the precut profile. Increasing the precut profile might help a little overall, but I think what would help even more is a mix of reducing the RPM of the lathe, alongside slowing down the duration of the final pass. That should yield a more consistent & uniform product. Though you sill might have to do a light sanding at the end, it should be less intensive than what did here.

@kevjohn96 4 года назад

Hears a crazy idea... make it a dead-blow bat! Cut the end off, bore out the barrel, fill with some kind of BB's, thread the barrel and make a new end to fit. OR, playing with physics- Cut the end off, bore out the barrel leaving a rod of aluminium, cut threads onto the end of the rod and barrel, cut a blank piece of stock to ride inside the barrel, preload it with a spring in the end, make a new end to fit. In theory, when you swing the mass will be closer to you and once the acceleration overcomes the spring, it should load the end of the bat with the mass.

Not very far. The water has so much kinetic energy, it quickly atomizes in the air, rapidly dispersing it’s energy and slowing down. Edit: it’s like a pressure washer. It can cut rock and many other materials up close, but from a couple meters away it becomes a big misting machine.

I could never hit homeruns in a full sized field as a player in high school. Those were aluminum bats. I then coached when I was 22 and someone gave me a "fungle" bat for field practice. It was heavy and very narrow. I could hit the ball anywhere very accurately. I then tried to hit homeruns and I could. The team challenged me to see how many homeruns I could hit in a row.of tossing up the ball and hitting it and I did 18. I don't think I was stronger. Had to be the bat.

@recklessyouth1 4 года назад

Instead of welding the plate on the traps the bearing you should bolt it on. Then you can change the bearings easier. As for the bat. You didn't account for the kerf or the deflection. You need to leave .02 to .03 on each profile cut. Also spin the part faster or slow your travel speed.

I vote for corking a bat, so make something like this or the strongest (and probably game-illegal) bat possible and core out the center and fill it with something that absorbs shock, but also doesn't permanently damaged much, hence why cork is normally used, plus it has a very low density that lowers the weight of the bat from what it would normally be if solid.

@raffal1989 4 года назад

I know that, you will probably never attempt this again but if you would do the rough cuts a little further from the center, effectively getting oversized bat, then the "turning" pass on the final size, the waterjet would actually have some material to knock off, as it was now, only area of contact between the blank and the waterjet were the corners, maybe slower cut would help too ?
