try doing a supersonic baseball vs another supersonic baseball and shoot them head on( i once threw a baseball to knock another baseball off its course and that was in high school, im 19 by the way)
I'm pretty sure that's because of the Shockwave forming in front of the ball, the compressed air didn't ignite in this case where we have space for it to escape, but in the second case is like a pressure striker!
I already see fire forming behind the baseball at the 102.303ms mark. What do you think Destin? Dirt/grease on baseball igniting because of air friction?
Hey Destin! Answer on your "fire" bewilderment: It's not friction but adiabatic compression of the air between the baseball and the glove. That's why the H-weave had no fire- the air was free to move through the netting. The basket weave was too tight for the air to freely pass, thus adiabatically heating the air to incandescence, then popping out the back. Fluid physics! Yay! Thumbs up so Destin sees!
I was thinking the same thing, although I did not know the technical term for the phenomenon. It happens sometimes with large bore ammunition in ballistic gelatin as well.
I don't see that as the _definitive_ answer. Most leathers are treated with oils for conditioning and suppleness. I agree with another answer in another thread (Jonathon Carey): they were compressed, atomized, and heated above their flash-points. I would check the gloves for variations in oils and formulations. This is a job for Project Farm: "Let's find out!"
I'm skeptical. The air is certainly compressing in the leading wave of the baseball by virtue of being supersonic, but is it enough compression to result in an adiabatic reaction? The classic example of adiabatic compression is the combustion reaction in an engine cylinder, not in free air. We need more data!
I think the *fire* is a combination of the friction heat generated from the leather on leather contact + the adiabatic heating from the compression of the air into the enclosed glove.
Nope, the ball isn't in contact long enough for friction. But close it is the compression of the materials because of the impact. When you compress matter it heats up.
@@diconicabastion5790 heat caused by compression is adiabatic - also, the opposing force caused by friction does not go to zero regardless of velocity.
@@MrZbe Everybody should check that, it's really cool to see how these sounds are done and how just slowing the original sound fails amazingly. Also, it can be a squishy mess so you know it's fun. :D
Massive credit to whoever is adding/editing the sounds in during the slo-mo shots. They make it so much more pleasing to hear than hearing nothing would be.
Awesome as always. I've got a strong suspicion the fire is the diesel effect. You see this a lot in ballistic gels where combustible vapour released from the supersonic bullet hitting the gel is rapidly pressurized until it ignites. Sort've like a fire piston. I think the ball has so much surface area that when it hits the glove it makes a momentary sealed chamber, as well as leather vapour, which both compress until ignition
That's along the lines of what I was gonna say. Under extreme and very fast pressures you can ignite steel wool in a chamber. I can't remember what youtube channel made a clear one of theses
There are oils and waxes in the leather to keep it supple. If you really pinch some chrome tanned leathers you can actually see some of that leather dressing exude. I imagine that would vapourize on impact. Is that what you mean by leather vapour? If so, that's what I was thinking, too. It doesn't seem likely that tanned skin itself would burn that well.
@@manatoa1 I think the oils will burn/vaporize first, but under those sorts of pressures the leather itself would vaporize a bit. Doesn't really matter one way or the other, it'll all burn once the pressure gets high enough. It's all just carbon compounds + oxygen + pressure at the end of the day

Not a chance. Remember just how slow this slow motion is. The sparks do not contain enough energy to heat up the nearby fuel to ignition. Its not that fire begets fire, its that fire is hot and heats things up to burn them.
@@randohorsley I'm not saying it would ignite the ball, I'm saying add fuel to try and recreate the spontaneous mid air ignition that is already happening with the ball in the footage, the flame is started before it even hits the glove, maybe the ball had some oil on it or something.

"We're gonna start stacking gloves until we figure out what it takes to stop a supersonic baseball" Sounds a lot like the premise of a Demolition Ranch video
a glove with a steel skeleton and tough industrial rubber mouldings on the surface, on top of massive steel springs...could do it...if the ball doesnt explode on it ..the steel springs would have to take the kinetic energy right away to absorbe ..or boom..
I'd still do it, but the fact that the ball is still inside the body kinda discouraged me, i though it will just pass through and no one would notice :(

That's water vapor condensing around the low pressure zone in the wake of the ball. While that doesn't sound as cool as making plasma, leaving a supersonic trail of clouds is still awesome.
That mini fireball probably came from the super compressed air between the glove and ball. It didn't happen on the H weave because the air could move somewhere else. I've seen this same effect in the rebounding aftershock in ballistics gell from extreme high speed bullets. When the cavity collapses it rapidly compresses the air inside and causes ignition.
Me hearing “hey guys it’s destin” My gf immediately running in the room and telling me to put the video on the tv so we can both watch. Lol some of the best videos on the internet man
I’m intrigued by this video subject. It blows me away knowing that there are super smart people out there that can figure things out and make it interesting and fun. Thank you
Nope, there was flame before the ball hit the glove. Pause the video right before it hits and look behind the baseball. The atmosphere ignites in the pressure cone...
@@joshuareed6894 high pressure in front of the ball meets with the inertia of the glove and makes a high compression area, and the oil in the glove ignites . Exactly like a diesel engine... High pressure in front of the Piston pushing against the head makes enough heat to ignite fuel, although there is no element there to create spark
"What's that mushroom cloud out in the field where the boys were?" "Exactly. Well, I guess we won't need to worry 'bout 'em comin' home for dinner . . . ."
@@Scott_C I don't think it would be plasma as you would be able to see that effect on a supersonic plane if that were true. Instead it could be a vapor cone caused by the local decrease in pressure (and therefore temperature) behind the ball causing vapor condensation .
The explosion we seen in the glove was Boyle's law. guessing the vapor trail was the same the air just had an avenue of escape and could decompress before ignition.
The Guardian Bikes commercial. That's the best ad I've ever seen in a UA-cam video. As for the 1,000 mph fastball... Dudes! If this technology ever gets into the wrong hands, heaven help us all. Addressing this to the gentlemen in the video: Having in your arsenal the 1,000 mph baseball carries with it certain responsibilities. You must decide whether to use this force for good or for evil. I pray you make the right decision.
That don't even make sense, though. Stacking means one on top of the other. So you're not gonna have a massive sheet of leather by stacking gloves. You're gonna have a stack of gloves 🤷♂️ For a massive sheet of leather, you'd need gloves tied to each other other, side by side, etc... Not stacked one on top of the other.
What’s cool is the gloves don’t even know the ball is there until after it has passed through. There is absolutely zero movement of the glove or gloves while the ball passes through. That ball is traveling so fast that it slices through without even disturbing the glove until after the ball is gone! Crazy! So cool! What an awesome video. I watched all of them 3-4 times before today but had to watch them again.
Right! Bob's guts are still mush -- it's just that the "round" didn't cavitate his gut, penetrate through the back, and drag the remainder of his digestive tract out the back side this time.
The most heartwarming thing in this video, for me personally, was the goofy daddy laughter in the end. I relate to that very much! And as a dad, I know what emotions are behind such laughs. Never take offense from a goofy dad laugh, people, it comes directly from the heart!
"Don't do this at home" Yeah I'm sure I can engineer a massive supersonic baseball cannon that shoots baseballs at 1000mph and costs tens of thousands of dollars in my backyard.
It just means "do it somewhere else" 😀 Depending on what your house is made of, the walls (or windows for that matter) might not be strong enough to be anywhere near this cannon.
I saw an explosion/fire for a split second on 1 of your other videos, and you missed it! So glad you saw this because I was beginning to think I imagined it lol ;)

How you gonna find it tho
Might just put it into orbit.
I think 37°is the optimum. Air resistance and what not
@@thederpaherp5940 put a gps tracker in/on it
What sort of dessert? Cake? Ice cream?
And I'm not sure what your beef is with the angel Gabriel.
That mini fireball probably came from the super compressed air between the glove and ball. It didn't happen on the H weave because the air could move somewhere else. I've seen this same effect in the rebounding aftershock in ballistics gell from extreme high speed bullets. When the cavity collapses it rapidly compresses the air inside and causes ignition.
Most accurate statement yet
"There's one tree in this field Trent"
Incredible stuff haha
xddddddddddd dont look at my playlists
Super enjoyable. "Bob's gonna die." Also fire?! What?!
Is your name kannent or something I haven't watched a video from you for so long
Fancy seeing you here!
Miss your videos man, hope you're doing well
@Nicholas Ovel whos bob?
@@its_fprime the world may never know
That sonic tail behind the ball is crazy to see in real life. You've created a dragonball z finishing move.
Or just the episode from dragon ball super where they play baseball
If gohan was a pitcher.
Thought the same
Lmao true
I've never seen a sonic tail on a projectile before. That's cool as heck! I literally shout dragonball when i saw that lol
6:24 Somehow the ball developed an aura it has transcended
Me hearing “hey guys it’s destin”
My gf immediately running in the room and telling me to put the video on the tv so we can both watch. Lol some of the best videos on the internet man
"Bob's gonna die."
Destin: *_WHEEZE_*
"We figured a mullet counted as a helmet" That may be one of the most Alabama phrases I've ever heard. lol
We had safety mullets in Colorado too.
I’m intrigued by this video subject. It blows me away knowing that there are super smart people out there that can figure things out and make it interesting and fun. Thank you
The fire could be from the oil in the leather "dieseling" from the high compression created by the impact
You're exactly right!
I was thinking one glove had more oil then the other
Yes because of the thermal energy released within impact and high velocity fiction of the glove and baeeball
Nope, there was flame before the ball hit the glove. Pause the video right before it hits and look behind the baseball. The atmosphere ignites in the pressure cone...
@@joshuareed6894 high pressure in front of the ball meets with the inertia of the glove and makes a high compression area, and the oil in the glove ignites . Exactly like a diesel engine... High pressure in front of the Piston pushing against the head makes enough heat to ignite fuel, although there is no element there to create spark
Kid: this is my first real bike basically
Destin: what makes it a real bike?
Me: well you reversed the directions on his other bike 🤣
Demolition Ranch: “How many gloves does it take to stop a .50 cal?”

I mean when you think about it, it is basically the same, it is a projectile shot with massive amounts of force.
@@ilo3456 one channel asks why, the other asks why not!? Both are excellent.
Yep, you can see plasma forming outside the sound barrier. Absolutely Amazing

That sounds weird

15:28 "Just keep moving, just keep moving. I can do this!" is my new mantra
That was so savage , I loved it, I’m so much smarter today 👍
“There’s FIRE?!”
As a scientist, I live for these moments.
“Don’t stop peddling, don’t stop peddling, oh gosh stop stop stop.” Too adorable.
6:48 Did you see the ShockWave around the Ball.
Is that condesation because of the high difference in pressure ?
it's so beautiful.
I that it is the condensation in the low pressure part of the shockwave
Soo cool that it does that
@@fcknhllkllyll3767 May be but I'm just thinking about shockwave Destin mentioned in his before video.
I have never seen "trace" from a baseball before.
Next step, a spotter with a scope to hit a Bob 500 yards away.
It's absolutely mind-blowing that a human has piloted a vehicle going about 3x faster than this ball is flying
"Where are the boys?"
"Out goofin' off in the field again."
The boys: *Laughs in mach 1.35*
"What's that mushroom cloud out in the field where the boys were?"
"Exactly. Well, I guess we won't need to worry 'bout 'em comin' home for dinner . . . ."
“Smarter every day” 😂
anyone else notice the badass vapour trails coming off the ball in slo-mo, it almost looked like it was on fire
Yep, it's plasma being generated as the air molecules try to get out of the ball's way.
@@Scott_C I don't think it would be plasma as you would be able to see that effect on a supersonic plane if that were true. Instead it could be a vapor cone caused by the local decrease in pressure (and therefore temperature) behind the ball causing vapor condensation
.
@@Scott_C Definitely not plasma, water vapour condensing in the low pressure wake.
thanks for pointing it out. it looks awesome
The explosion we seen in the glove was Boyle's law. guessing the vapor trail was the same the air just had an avenue of escape and could decompress before ignition.
Ok, how many people saw the row of gloves and thought, "I'll bet Demolition Ranch would love this..."
YES
That and/or the slow-mo guys ;-)
How many baseball gloves does it take to stop a .50cal, huh?
@@TheNetsrac Eh....destroying things in a row is more Demo's style
Truuuuuue
The Guardian Bikes commercial. That's the best ad I've ever seen in a UA-cam video.
As for the 1,000 mph fastball... Dudes! If this technology ever gets into the wrong hands, heaven help us all. Addressing this to the gentlemen in the video: Having in your arsenal the 1,000 mph baseball carries with it certain responsibilities. You must decide whether to use this force for good or for evil. I pray you make the right decision.
This is one of the most interesting experiments I've ever watched. It's super saiyan
Ur here too? Wow

YeH
Please stop being a Justin Y wannabe
Woah your everywhere. Unlike little king Ryan, your not a bot
"Bob is gonna die"
HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER
Try to completely stack 10 baseball gloves together to make one massive sheet of leather. Just an idea
That don't even make sense, though. Stacking means one on top of the other. So you're not gonna have a massive sheet of leather by stacking gloves. You're gonna have a stack of gloves 🤷♂️
For a massive sheet of leather, you'd need gloves tied to each other other, side by side, etc... Not stacked one on top of the other.
@@JC-11111 you're so smart!!!!!!! Come here honey time to drink your milk
@@JC-11111 Mate, you get the jdea. Quit bitching and drink your milk.
@@JC-11111 yeah milk
@Saxon Bristol Good point
What’s cool is the gloves don’t even know the ball is there until after it has passed through. There is absolutely zero movement of the glove or gloves while the ball passes through. That ball is traveling so fast that it slices through without even disturbing the glove until after the ball is gone! Crazy! So cool! What an awesome video. I watched all of them 3-4 times before today but had to watch them again.
"dont try this at home" ah yes where's my old supersonic baseball cannon
Haahahahaha
Lol
ha ha?..
IM DEAD xD
😂
It's amazing how u can see the air pressure surrounding the ball when shot at a super high speed faster than sound
ItzYuzuru Clips it’s so cool
Yeah right it looks like its in blue flames it looks sooo cool
I told my brother it went super sayin
Thank you, i came here to look for this

Right! Bob's guts are still mush -- it's just that the "round" didn't cavitate his gut, penetrate through the back, and drag the remainder of his digestive tract out the back side this time.
The most heartwarming thing in this video, for me personally, was the goofy daddy laughter in the end. I relate to that very much!
And as a dad, I know what emotions are behind such laughs. Never take offense from a goofy dad laugh, people, it comes directly from the heart!
"Don't do this at home"
Yeah I'm sure I can engineer a massive supersonic baseball cannon that shoots baseballs at 1000mph and costs tens of thousands of dollars in my backyard.
If you have been able to make one you're also smart enough to use it imo.
As Jack Septiceye would say: "Speeeeed is Key!"
He said at home, it’s fine if you do it in your yard
@@GFXCharkk History says otherwise.
It just means "do it somewhere else" 😀
Depending on what your house is made of, the walls (or windows for that matter) might not be strong enough to be anywhere near this cannon.
"I thought a mullet counted as a helmet." HAHAHAA, Gold man.
Mullets definitely don't count as helmets. Bowl cuts on the other hand...
@@johneatonreeves I disagree mullets give you super powers
Stfu
I was hoping he said “we have a mullet helmet!”
I came to the comments to say the same thing!
Mullets might not work as a helmet but dreadlocks do a reasonable job ;)
"don't try this at home"
Me with my supersonic baseball cannon: 😩😭
EDIT: remove the 😩 because it looks bad
I saw an explosion/fire for a split second on 1 of your other videos, and you missed it! So glad you saw this because I was beginning to think I imagined it lol ;)
"Back in the day we thought a mullet counted as a helmet ..." ROFL
Now we need a mullet helmet.
Lol, that phrase did my day 😂
Or a rat tail
@@CharlieFaulk I'm pretty sure Dustin's mullet actually counted as a helmet!
The reason this channel is so good is because he explains things that some people think don’t need explaining. He assumes every viewer knows nothing and goes into depth to actually teach you. Unlike most teachers
Looks to me like they graduated high school and have money....whoop de doo
My bad they probably didnt teach physics in high school back when you were an idiot
@@leavingsoonduetocensorship3453 Are you okay bro?
@@vishank7 you know physics?
It’s sad in a way that they _have_ to assume people know nothing, but it’s ultimately good that they do.
6:50 There was a fly on the glove.
ya :(
Where ?
@@annannanan3024 Above the glove. It was sit on it, the ball hit and it flies on the same place.
The fly wasn't even affected! He just slowly flew off!!😲😲😲🤯
U can see the sound barrier behind the ball
absolutely broke my heart at the end with the little boy, I heard his little voice about to break up but he held it together !
Just for that reason alone I have to sub/
