Saved from Deadly Ball Bearing Shrapnel - Bulletproof Window Did Its Job!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- We decide to test how well ball bearing shrapnel pierces skin in the name of work safety research but we ended up testing instead how tough are our bullet proof windows! The windows have 10mm polycarbonate wear plate and then 50mm/ 2 inch bullet proof glass that is rated for .308 rifle rounds so the ball bearing shrapnel was easy task for it but still really exiting day at the office!

Do not try this at home!! or at any where else!!

Maybe the most "all most died" moment so far! The bunker and the windows really work, this wouldn't been optimal on my face but window had zero problems on stopping it.
Also can we talk about the fact that I named this series "hold my beer" series BEFORE I got almost killed by the shrapnel :D
🤣 Indeed... High-speed *_anything_* coming into contact with your face is definitely _NOT_ optimal! 😁
Wouldn't it be better to rotate the bearings 90 degrees so they are laying flat? It would take much more force to shatter them and so produce far more energetic shrapnel
Scientific my arse, but it's brilliant.
Hanna is lowry's slow little sister. They play pretend wife and husband.
@@molkhal lol what even
"Don't try this at home"... Stares at the 300 ton hydraulic press in the corner of the bedroom...
I keep mine in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet in the office so it doesn't get in the way
Don’t
@@silentepsilon888 best place for it really
You know you want to!
2024 and Irony hasn't landed yet. Are you in the USA ?
Was cool to hear the shout out to Kentucky Ballistics.
I always get a kick out of hearing that my favorite UA-camrs watch and enjoy each other.
I was just going to post that.
They also both do their merch through Bunker Branding. It would be AMAZING to see some HPC/ KYB collab.
The bearing flying at the camera at 9:35 just screams for a 3D camera and VR goggles. Now that's immersive!
Kentucky Ballistics and HPC… legendary.
Then add in the Slow-mo guys!!
@@TheMcEwens419 fuck yes

Need the clip next time
@@OurHereafterAverager every day.
Anna is very enthusiastic helper. She’s great.
"It's just a flesh wound" isn't something I expected to hear on the HPC. 😆😆😆😆
Was thinking the same and suprised to hear a Kentucky Ballistic's 4 bore reference as well. He really is quite cultured. Lol
Clocked that too very clever :)
If you want more force in this kind of explosions, maybe try adding a piece of axle in the middle to prevent the bearing from bending so much and you can have more pressure before it cracks?
On the other hand, elastic bending stores energy that can be released rapidly after failure, so it's not necessarily a bad thing (or a good thing, depending on how you look at it). Also that's why compressing big springs is terrifying.
Wouldn't it be better to rotate the bearings 90 degrees so they are laying flat? It would take much more force to shatter them and so produce far more energetic shrapnel
@@MVargic For today's bearings, that would probably require over 1000 tones of pressure. Over 3 times the maximum of this press.
Press' force itself doesn't send the shrapnel flying, not directly, so bigger force does not necessarily translate to more mayhem. The press "only" provides energy, relatively slowly, to be accumulated in some other form (like the bearing's case bending slightly before breaking) and eventually violently released.
So the most terrifying crushes are not those that have the highest force sensor readings but ones where the piston travels some distance while most of the energy isn't dissipated in the meantime.
@@Kualinar It would be interesting to see the failure of a bearing with a shaft, even if that means using a smaller bearing.
I'd like to see the bearing fail as they do it now, with a shaft in the center, properly sized, etc.
Even more interesting would be to see the bearing fail while shaft is supported... so force just from the side to the center.
“Hold my beer Wednesday” must become a series!
It's going to be! I have our new editor Otto editing these for us so I have now time to do two videos a week. Idea is to do something simple and stupid on these wednesday videos :D
sehän vaikuttaa hyvältä! 😃
My mate was knocking out a truck bearing with a hammer and chisel, a piece of metal entered his hand traveled along the bone and exited the elbow.
That sounds quite uncomfortable :|
OUCH!
Did that cause permanent injury? Sounds like it could have caused serious damage.
"There is a piece of pig skin...somewhere, we dont know where"
"Yeah we're going to get some beef jerky...or pig jerky, when it dries up. Its a good snack when you find it"
lol I love this channel
Pork rind!
3:15 "Holy Moly!" Wise words from Hanna. That's when you know it's a truly 'hold my beer' moment.
I like your bright orange 12ton camera tripod
Spent some time in the bearing business many years ago. I remember one customer had some "employees" playing with ball bearings and spinning them up with compressed air, then letting them run across the shop floor. All fun and games until one guy had a bearing come apart in his hand! As I recall it did quite a bit of damage!
i know we arent supposed to, but i still do it... the thing is, i dont go STUPID... keep a finger on the outer race, keep it relatively slow, dont angle the nozzle in a way that can force a ball out, and in the case of larger bearings... dont wedge them onto fingers... thats the one ive seen... big bearing seizing at speed and twisting someones thumb off... just watching them, shaking your head, nothing you can do to prevent STUPID... "wtf would you know, huh?"
on the way to hospital... "thats wtf i know... HA!"
the idea is to clean them, not destroy them.
The complex physics and vectors of exploding shards colliding with each other sending them in different directions must be mind boggling!
The camera on the robot arm taking shrapnel... That's *_exactly_* why I suggested making a plexiglass box for it. I knew this would happen! Although, it admittedly took a little longer than I figured it would. 😅
Glad it literally shrugged it off, though! Had it not zoomed out from the pressure, it probably wouldn't have faired as well... 🥴
I feel like this was the Fates giving you your one and only warning. 🤣
The front element on a camera lens is pretty damn thick glass. You'd be surprised what it can handle. I'd venture to guess you could fire a shotgun at it with birdshot and it would just pit it.
@@LarsLarsen77 I don't know what lens he uses on his camera(s), but I'm willing to bet it's at least $1000 USD, which in my opinion, is more cm enough to merit building an enclosure around it.
Let's also not pretend that I mean ONLY the lens... It would be protecting the _entire camera_ as well.
There's also the fact that enough pits will eventually start to cause issues. Bigger hits, even not directly to the glass, could also start to knock things out inside which makes is overall function degrade (ie focusing issues).
I'd love to test your theory on taking birdshot without breaking... I *_do_* have some old lenses from the 70s that aren't needed 🤔
Just unsure if I want to deal with cleaning up the mess after, since despite your thoughts, I suspect it'll definitely blow it apart 😅
Seeing those beautiful pieces of engineering explode like that is both upsetting and mesmerising!!!
Me too, super quality bearings....😢
Wow... that disclaimer at the beginning of the video is pretty dang direct. If it wasn't for that, I might have unalived myself trying to replicate it. Thanks guys!
I have noticed that without proper disclaimers these videos tend to get demonetized quite often :D
"don't try this at home!"
People with a 300tonne press at home: ☹️
Stop saying “unalive”. It’s Orwellian and please excuse me for saying this but it makes you sound stupid. You can say “kill”. It doesn’t get censored as evidenced by the fact that you can read my comment.
Isn't the joke about "i dOnt hAvE a pReSs aT hOmE" is been running for too far now ? Trolls need to find something else frfr...
@@tmmtmmThey cannot comment here because they all died attempting this
2:31 Hello from Germany! Your Wurst and Lederhose greetings made me laugh quite well 😄
Thats amazing. I instinctively ducked when the roller flew at the camera
"Hold my beer" challenges indeed killed people before, and likely will in the future, but luckily not this time ;-)
And thanks to Lauri my brain is now trying to conjure picture the potential chaos if Scott from Kentucky Ballistics would join Lauri and Anni in a video or 5... And my brain is failing ;-)
Tack och Lycka till från Sverige.
Yea, I'm definitely onboard with this...
Scott would be really out of his element in Finland! As such, I think they would need to do 10 videos: 5 in Finland to experience press and explosives shenanigans, then 5 in Kentucky for Lauri and Hanna to experience BIG boom stick related shenanigans. 😁
Kinda like with Slow-Mo Guys, where they knock out a bunch of videos and release them periodically.
As a materials test technician this was fun to watch.
Hanna's voice is adorable!
Imagine if that piece of shrapnel nicked an artery. Hitting most places in your body wouldn't be a problem, but if that thing nicked your carotid? "He's dead, Jim."
Yep it doesn't take long after you pop one of those. Luckily we have big hospital about 5 minutes from the workshop but even that might bee too long.
Maybe you should prepare paramedics in standby just in case things go wrong
Thank you both 🙏 🍻
I love that you watch Kentucky Ballistics. Scott is hilarious
Look how far this channel has come, I remember back before you had all this double safety and an awesome shop. and you'd always say "so we're going to deal wit it" before crushing it 😂
Safety first folks!
This is exactly why.
Most things tend to be unpredictable like a blade of an angle grinder suddenly exploding.
Stay safe, wear a helmet and safety gloves and glasses or else...
Friend almost lost his life die to a cutting disc exploding. Cut into his inner elbow and the paramedics said he was close to bleeding out. 😞
With hand held power tools : First : safety googles. Next gloves. Then : face masks and a thick apron.
I had a cutting disk explode and somehow part of the disk looped around in an arc behind the guard (and my glove) and stuck in my arm, right between the vein and the bone. Extremely lucky and unlucky at the same time.
@@myrlyn1250 that's why there should be equipment checks before and after a work day. Check every little thing, every little nook and cranny, every piece of equipment to ensure and maintain a safe work environment.
6:30 "pig jerky, it's a good snack when you are going to find it" 😂
I broke a die press once (wrong size) and it blew like that roller bearing did. Piece of metal dinged off my forehead and I didn't even notice until the blood ran down my nose. Luckily, it was a just a nick but man that could have gone worse.
Yep this things go really fast, especially when you are close to the machine. It's impossible to see this piece even on the 100fps slow motion clip. The prober slow motion is 2000 fps and it's pretty fast even there
It's wild how badly we can get hurt sometimes, but have NO idea just how bad!
I was helping my neighbor remove the blade from his riding lawnmower deck after he hit a big rock. It caused a fracture in the blade and a sharp, finger sized piece of metal was sticking out at an angle. I was pushing down on the wrench and nut _(or bolt, whichever it had)_ broke free, causing me to fall downwards a little.
Take the blade of and start walking into the garage, and my neighbor said _"Hey, you're bleeding!"_
Look down and yup, that protruding piece of metal bit me good on the back of my right hand!! Made about an 1-1/4 inch long cut between my pinky, ring finger, and wrist. It also kind of filleted it inside as well. But just like you, I didn't feel A THING aside from that pressure from "bumping my hand" when I fell downwards.
So that was a fun trip to the urgent care... 😅
Thankfully it was just that, no tendon damage, and only very very minimal nerve damage _(which I only realized years later, so it really was minimal)._
When things are very sharp and it happens quickly you barely feel it at first. I have cut myself quite badly multiple times in the past and only felt a dull thud and then looked down to see blood pouring. In particular I remember a couple of times using extremely sharp knives to split thin kindling wood for firelighting and once when I dropped a freshly sharpened axe head against my shin. There have been others when using knives in the kitchen but those are the main stupid ones that were very much avoidable.
Sweet!! Weekday upload. Here we go!!!
You have bulletproof windows for a reason! ...and your reactions to the blasts say it all. It is still scary👍
Super video 👍👍. Take care, you two.
Hey hydraulic press channel! Next time place something like sand bags to back up the ballistic jell or pig fat. The first few tests were inaccurate because there was not enough inertia so the pig fat pushed away before the full damage was inflicted. Ride ride ride!
I always love the voices in the slomo replays 😄
I'm excited to watch this video, bigger bearings this time than with the old press without the bunker
When there is a "Do Not Do This At Home" warning at the start of the video you know it's going to be a good one.
Please make sure there won't be any metal shared pieces in the meat if your actually going to cook it up for the cats. great video by the way.
When schrapnel is flying straight at the camera, that's when you know. You can have your beer back now, buddy.
I'll hold y'alls beer any time. Keep up the awesome content! Love ya both!
Your face when the shrappnel hit the window.....haaha i almost pied my pants!
Did you mean: "PEED?"
Finally something really terrifying/dangerous on the new press!!! Thanks, happy to hold your beer any day!
1:03 💪🏻🇸🇪🤘🏻 back at you! Much love from sweden
Hi, I got a video suggestion.
First, I love your videos and been following you everyday since the last 4years, keep up the good content.
*My idea is* , let's try to simulate a work accident involving bearing.
You always crush bearing on their top side, but what would happened if you applied high pressure on the face of the bearing ?
Example:
Lay the bearing flat on top of a metal cylinder of the same diameter than the outside ring of the bearing, or even press-fit a bearing inside a cylinder with a snap ring under it, or anything to retain it.
(like it would be mounted in a normal scenario).
Then press on the middle of the bearing (to simulate an unexperienced mechanic who forgot to remove the snap-ring holding the bearing in place, or a mechanic pressing on the middle of the bearing, any other kind of work accident).
7:05 - I think that camera deserves a raise, lol.
i love that he mentioned kentucky ballistics!
The inner section of that last bearing is the stable of explosion SFX of all good games. Has that serious GeoModᵀᴹ vibe.
Usually, when someone says Hold my beer, there is an injury coming. But Lauri survived. Since Lauri mentioned Kentucky Ballistics, I will say that Kentucky Ballistics shoots the big guns, and Hydraulic Press Channel busts the big bearings. Head on over to Kentucky and do a hydraulic press meet the 4 bore or punt gun video.
Last when I watched, you guys where behind plexi, the concrete bunker is an awesome concept 😂.
Interesting how the inner race of the last one failed first, unlike the others which failed the outer race and in one case left the inner undamaged.
It shows how much load the last bearing can carry that it broke the inner race before the outer that was very interesting indeed thanks for the test.
Thank you. thank you.thank you. great good fun.
Hey, I've got an idea. Why not make a shaft that fits in the bearing like it normally would. Have the shaft stick out of either end of the bearing equally. Build a tool that will press both ends of the shaft downward, loading the bearing more like it would be in a real application. For an even more accurate loading, you could press the bearing into some sort of cube so the pressure would be distributed more equally.
You guys make me want to visit Finland.
I can't wait until you do a video where you press those huge bearing rollers!
You said ' "Hold my beer" the moment I was drinking a beer. What a coincidence.
Having beer in your hand and finishing the video with sip would been great😅
Ahnd here ve go! I have always loved that! Thank so much
Maybe try to make the ball bearing explode by over speeding with compressed air? Or just let it go away in high speed and make some trouble? Heja Finland.❤
That has to be one of the bravest cameras in the world.
Her voice is priceless 👍😁
Those bearings are a beauty
I'm thinking at least a grand or two each.
There's a good chance the shrapnel that aimed for your head came from a bering made in my hometown. Kind of a weird feeling that my region (might have) left a "lasting impression" on your workshop. 😂
Aww man I was just about to use my 300T press at home but since you said do not try this at home i guess have to listen
Put bearing inside bearing, then squash with press! Hold two beers for that one!
BALL BEARINGS : "Am I a JOKE to you?"
PRESS: "HOLD MY BEER!"
High-speed Camera: "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!"
Way to show Sweden some love! 🇸🇪
Just a thought, bullets vs windows in general are not exploding bearings. you could do some armor piercing rounds compared to hardened bearing pieces. Soft lead or copper are gummy and grab/deform when hitting things. The bullet proof and polycarbonate heat up and grab. or deform. Let me know
Your cat will need to use a metal detector before dinner.
Really need a Slow Mo Guys x Hydraulic Press collaboration
3:26 Instant Jim Henson 🤣
The bulletproof glass caused the problem in the first place. If the window wasn't there, you'd be standing somewhere else.
“It’s a good snack when we gonna find it” 🤣🤣
What really amazes me, are the many tiny grains of metal igniting immediately to thousand sparks. Only by reacting with air?
Wouldn't it be better to rotate the bearings 90 degrees so they are laying flat? It would take much more force to shatter them and so produce far more energetic shrapnel
It’s just a flesh wound. Best comment of the day! 😂
Metal shrapnell to the neck? Yeah, a certain Scott from Kentucky knows a thing or two about that. Just get your thumb ready! 😁🤘
Well now I understand why the cameraman never dies. Just need an orange armoured suit
You had me at "pork fat." 🤣
Can we see how the balls of the bearings react to your press? Are they harder, more durable than the raceway? Thank you for the exceptional, informative demo!
You have to remember that projectile shape matters too. The 4 bore's bullet is very blunt where as this shrapnel has many sharp points. Not saying that the bunker isn't overkill still. LOL
If somebody hands me a beer, I typically drink it
Beautiful bearings
Hold my Lapin Kulta!
What could possibly go wrong...
I did not hold your beer... I drank it! :D
Your English is just about always spot on. One nit pick. All most. maybe spelled almost.
Ever thought about doing a give-away or something with the balls or rollers from the destroyed bearings?
Have you considered doing a collab with a channel like Chubbyemu? You could crush dangerous things in the press, and he could describe how an emergency room (A&E) doctor might treat someone who was hit by the shrapnel.
it would be interesting to see what would happen if you supported the outer race and pressed the inner race. maybe even more shrapnel
I bet Scott and Scooter will invite you two to Kentucky to shoot some ball bearings with some rifles, if you wanted to .
You watch Kentucky ballistics? That's awesome I would love to see a colab!!!
“Don’t try this at home or you will DIE!”
Yeah cus I have a massive fuckin hydraulic press in my house
Holy shoot Now we're talking explosions😂😂
Do you guys register the sound levels?? I'd be VERY interested in how loud some of the metal explosions get. Have to say, in slowmo, the bearings breaking is amazing, sounds like a bell.
I want to see SmarterEveryDay and HPC collab 😮
Would it be worth rerunning the experiments with a shaft through the bearings?
I think it would simulate a more realistic situation where someone is trying to force a bearing off a rusty shaft; And a shaft would prevent the bearings to prematurely collapse into itself.
Hold my beer Wednesdays! I love it, let’s make it a thing
I cant imagine how much just 1 of them bearings would cost. It pains me to see them crushed. They should be on a shelf to admired. Lol
Great video both .
Had a coworker try to press a bearing on a shaft and it exploded. He's now known as "One eyed Tom". Scary stuff
I already drank the beer 😉
