World's Heaviest Baseball Destroys Bats 

Like others have said. I’d like to see you try putting the ball on a tee. Also it’d be cool if you built a super powerful swinging mechanism for it.

worlds heaviest ping pong ball :)

Google translate *tung sten* . Literally means *heavy stone* in Swedish. So that's your backstory of the name

• Tungsten phone case. Pickpocket proof.

Worlds heaviest kickball

this and a spring loaded swinger so you dont have to break your wrists!

TUNGSTEN GOLFBALL!!!!

Another upvote for tungsten golf ball.

Yes Golfballs

Absolutely! Polymer resin shell reenforce threaded or wire dipped layer and a core. Meant to be reactive but absorb the blow. That tungsten may be too hard for many materials… Problem with teaing off is the same as a pitched ball though. If it’s not half of or equal to the mass at the point of impact… your basically hitting a tungsten brick wall… if a traditional golf club doesn’t shatter on impact… it’s will rip your arm off… seriously hurt your hand and do nerve damage as well… Titanium alloy clubs with adjustable weights you can put a tungsten insert in there. Some have a composite head with a modular face plate. On top of the 200mph+ contact speed you could fashion a powered bat design too. Straight up smacking a raw tungsten ball would not be a great idea… the forces required would more likely shatter everything involved… and at horrendous velocity.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Took the words right out of my mouth.

The machine controlling the bat would break

God have mercy on anyone who gets struck by that ball

The sound it made on the floor gave me a good idea

You missed gold. I think a ball of plutonium of this size might be at critical mass meaning a ball of this size would undergo cascading nuclear reactions, and you'd end up with meltdown or a mushroom cloud depending on how quickly together it was put.

gold isnt rare

Also some aren’t isotopic which mean they can’t be used in contact with oxygen

The longest lived isotope of neptunium, 237Np, has a half life of roughly 2.144 *million* years

@@mossy8419 Want to hear something you MIGHT be unaware of? The longer the half life, the less dangerous it is, but the longer it sticks around. You could probably wear a depleted uranium wrist band for your entire life, and feel no ill effects from the radiation. However, it's extremely toxic and is pyrophoric, meaning it can burn when enough it's just exposed to air. But it's unlikely radiation would be a problem. It is radioactive, with a 1/2 life of 4.468 million years.

osmium isn't $908,907/lb. it's more like $20 per gram

@@cvspvridk where you found that but I’m seeing around 1200 euros a gram.

I was literally gonna ask why he didn't use osmium. Now I know 😅

@@xostler he knows a guy

@@theking5116 I think they did some math wrong and were trying to be funny $20/ gram comes out to $9,080/lb that’s my best guess. So it should be $2,000/g.

Put it in the cannon Destin from Smarter every day made to break the sound barrier with a baseball

@@MrWarbadger or get them to drop it from a helicopter onto a car or something

well if the velocity is proportional to kinetic energy squared the tungsten ball would be like 900x slower

@@incription could still posibly kill. and would be neat to see how fast it goes

Make sure to mix a bunch of normal baseballs in the hopper with it Surprise superball, fun for everyone!

Congratulations, you just discovered that acceleration affects force.....too bad Newton beat you to it like 500 years ago.

@@Astraeus.. what a needlessly snarky comment. Legault was obviously just illustrating the skill that professional baseball players have, and you have nothing better to do than making useless comments like that.

Not that it makes a difference to a ball of tungsten

@@Freedomcustom It absolutely makes a difference. Wood is a LOT easier to split with the grain rather than across it.

@@Astraeus.. Against a ball of Tungsten it really makes no difference

Damn

I think they're designed to break that way. If it broke horizontally, a piece could fly off and hit someone.

i agree

The ball would stay still and the cannon would get launched backwards lol

and fired at Shane's bat...

@@andrerenault Swinged by the mad batter machine...

I work in a factory and we saw many metal prices jump significantly during covid. But it's like gold; prices go up and down all the time. It also makes a difference the form the metal is in, and how much. Like i bet twice the amount of tungsten is more than double the price. We see it when comparing cast stainless to forged stainless. We can make a particular item from either type, but cast is cheaper and lower quality. Also, when we compare both types but in different sizes, cast pieces increase in a much more gradual way (to a point), whereas making a piece from a larger bar starts jumping drastically in price as larger bars are required.

Making hollow tungsten would cost more than making a solid sphere due to manufacturing costs and having to machine or somehow injection cast tungsten, which is probably not possible.

If it was lead on the inside, it wouldn't have weighed enough. The only thing that would be dense enough would be gold or uranium, and both of those are far more expensive.

​@@pkobalt I think he was alluding that he expected the chinese factory to skimp on material

Would not want to be swinging bad that hits that thing

Shoot that thing would destroy itself it was hard enough with a normal baseball

....I was thinking smartereveryday's baseball cannon.

@@InsanePigeonthat’s literally just a 10 pound cannon

Tungsten is not used in AP rounds by the US military. Because tungsten it isn't as dense as depleted uranium and it tends to shatter upon being hit

@@TheICFArchitect the us did use tungsten before depleted uranium, they switched cause depleted uranium rounds have better penetration and do not mushroom as badly as tungsten rounds, when going through a tanks armor the round will mushroom or deform, depleted uranium do not deform as badly as tungsten rounds

Them's some expensive rounds, if this is true.

That, sir, would be a pretty effective anti-tank weapon.

It would shatter every bone in your wrists 😭😭😭

wait so one decimeter cubed would weigh 22kg or...?
