      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!

    @TenemaesLament 3 роки тому +502

    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!

    • @-danR
      @-danR 3 роки тому +6

      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!"

    • @togden88
      @togden88 3 роки тому +5

      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!

    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.

    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

      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.

    Nice. Very impressive cannon and video!
    I'm not really surprised that it penetrated the dummy and gloves, though. You're firing this thing at similar speeds as a normal gun, but with 15x or so the mass of a normal bullet. Granted, you have something like 100x the impact area to spread that energy out over and more compressibility, but you're still talking about a pretty incredible amount of force and momentum.
