"Instant Legolas" - Archery Reinvented.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2017
- We love bows and arrows here at The Slingshot Channel. A good bow has everything we want in a weapon.
Performance.
Impact.
Accuracy.
Silence.
and and and.
What it does NOT have is shot frequency. If you are no Lars Andersen (our hats are off!), chances are you will need at least four seconds reloading time between arrows.
That leaves a lot to be desired. It makes the weapon useless against a group of Zombies (or other aggressors) and also it does not allow quick follow up shots for hunting.
But most of all, the slow fire rate simply reduces the fun.
"Instant Legolas" changes that! This simple invention allows complete newbies to shoot four arrows in under four seconds. Basically you are only limited to the time you need to draw back and shoot. You don't even touch the arrows before you refill the magazine.
We feel "Instant Legolas" is one of the coolest ideas we ever came up with.
This invention has been put into the public domain with no limits. You may use it, enhance it, develop commercial products out of it, no strings attached. Good luck!
A "The Slingshot Channel" Production. - Наука та технологія
OK, here are a few answers regarding the most common questions/suggestions/comments. Read them before writing a comment in order to save some time.
1. I do know Lars Andersen and even mention him in my text description. The man is a living legend, but 99,99% of all people (myself included) would not be able to shoot like him EVEN if we would invest 10 years of practice.
2. This is NOT a crossbow. I have made plenty of repeating crossbows. It is actually easier as the bolts are much shorter. But the disadvantage is the shot frequency. You have to put a crossbow down in order to cock it as the short draw length requires a high draw weight.
3. I do know the Chu-Ko-Nu (Chinese repeating crossbow) of course and even made my own variations of it, culminating in my full auto drill powered crossbow. But this invention here is different - the biggest advantage is the power and accuracy. A Chu-Ko-Nu (and my full auto crossbow) is a fairly weak "spray and pray" weapon. This thing is a powerful, accurate bow with a pretty good ROF.
4. Yes, reloading the magazine takes time. That is the case with pretty much every mag based weapon. But this is made for people that need a fast follow up shot, so basically a two shot mag would be good enough to cover that purpose. Insofar it has 50% extra reserve.
5. Yes, you could build a bigger mag. Yes, you could even build a drum mag. Yes, you can build exchangeable clips with preloaded arrows. Yes, you can attach a release, even one that works like a ratchet for safety. Yes, you can come up with solutions for broadheads. It is called enhancements to a groundbreaking idea. I encourage the world to come up with such enhancements and I would be delighted to see those coming.
6. Of course I could file a patent. To my knowledge nobody ever attached a magazine like this to a compound bow before. But then the trouble begins. Big companies with huge pockets can/will fight the patent and I would have to defend it. It would take all my time, attention and money to do that. Google Charles Goodyear, my big idol. He invented vulcanized rubber. Without his invention, we would NOT have fast cars because no tires. We would NOT have engines, by all means, as they require rubber O-rings. No slingshots either :) ... Someone copied his idea and then a lawsuit started that ruined the guy. He died in poverty. Ten years later the Goodyear corporation even stole his name without paying a dime to his starving family. No thanks.
JoergSprave i started to play vikings. i wish you would try vega conflict
joerg... sir you have to watch lars Anderson video
Of course I saw it. Jaw dropping. I could never do that. The guy is very gifted and also practiced forever.
JoergSprave you are my hero. One day I wish to grow into a walking battleship like you and spend my days happily making weapons and putting smiles on people's faces.
JoergSprave That is very awesome that you made it public domain, a smart idea, patent trolls can be absolutely ruthless with no regards or respect to businesses that rely on these inventions.
Besides, open sourcing it gives you the advantage of working with multiple businesses, rather than retaining and limiting your licenses to your own ventures and private parties. You are basically in marketing, so to partner with you to promote the product that large hunting companies can bring to light, is a wiser decision, without the weight of lawyers. :) So in the long run, it may be beneficial to you.
It takes a standard engineer to come up with an original design and patent it, it takes a good engineer to come up with one that can make money and patent it, it takes a great engineer to come up with one that revolutionises an industry and patent it, but it takes an amazing person and engineer to do the latter and put the design in the public domain.
This is not original. The Chinese have done it 1800 years ago, with powerful repeating crossbows as well. (The real life ones you see are based on Qing dynasty repeaters that are designed specifically for unarmoured peasants.)
Due to the cultural revolution most Chinese archery artifacts and knowledge haven destroyed in the 20th century.
Hence, this particular design with a magazine and a hand bow is probably invited in China but none survived today for the museums
Aaaand if what u say is true. he would not have known about or been influenced about the design he came up with. So your comments makes zero sense.
What's even greater then the knowledge of one man? The knowledge of a collective. It's simple
@@alokinaksld492
Why does his comment make no sense?
He simply stated that this has been done before
He did not accuse Joerg of copying
This man's laugh watered my crops, refilled my beer kegs, increased my testosterone 300%, and forced my enemies to rout.
A true friend.
KingOfBroddring truest comment ever
And his voice... when the video began I thought he was impersonating someone.
KingOfBroddring +1 for the sneaky Eragon reference ;)
Also got pregananante...And I'm a guy.
HUZZAH
Trooper: "Sector is clear."
Joerg: "Let me show you its features."
Trooper: "NOT CLEAR! NOT CLEAR!"
Imagine if we lived in a world where gunpowder-based weapons didn't exist and then this guy decides to change how warfare radically
=> over 10 thousand year old weapon, practically unchanged to this day.
=> german slingshot enthusiast: hold my superior german beer
=> instantlegolas
=> profit ( ? )
Ha ha ha! Awesome!
This is just a really cool idea!
60 thosand year old weapon actually
Superior German Beer ^^
Asiatic shooting could put the mag to shame. U can speed shoot with lower poundage and still be able to make the kill at higher rates
you are a genius, for thousands of years mankind has dealt with single arrow Bow shots, JoergSprave comes along and changes that forever... Awesome! You Rock!
DustyRusty81 not technically true. The ancient Chinese had fully automated ballistas (which is just the giant version of a crossbow) that could be activated by a floor plate or a trip wire and not need a manual user. :)
That still isn't a bow and arrow
The reason it has not been created before is because the Bow and Arrow itself have been replaced by more enhanced weaponry and it was no longer necessary to improve on its design. This is still absolutely amazing however.
Gashian Cotton it's still the same concept and if you fully read my comment, you would have noted I said "not TECHNICALLY true"
I read it. But I can't count that as a technically since that Chinese weapon falls under artillery. Mounted cannons whatever the medium. It still isn't a bow and arrow let alone a crowsbow. I respect the technical aspects but it still isn't enough to justify it just because it shoots arrows. Better than a bow arrow. But it isnt
Years later, some 5 commercial repeating bows later, thousands of units sold, it's safe to say Joerg revolutionized archery worldwide
At first I thought this is a guy that just has mindless fun, but watching more videos I came to the conclusion that this guy is a genius. I'm convinced now.
he is indeed a genius
German engineering. Efficiency is essential.!
He's a genius having fun,lol.
BrAKAA MONOGA GERMAN SCIENCE IS WORLD NUMBER 1
Might? Is!
If Joerg had lived in mideval times europes map might look very different. :O
German would be a continental language.
@@edstar83 I'm dutch so I think it would be Ha Ha Halland ;-)
We would be on maybe the 10th Reich by now.
Assuming someone invented rubber for him.
@@SangerZonvolt you don't know where rubber comes from do you... It was not invented, it was discovered.
you're such a nice guy, pls never stop making videos.
Nicht Cosmo yes
Nicht Cosmo
I agree.
And he's an engineering genius on top of it. His designs never fail to impress and his personality never fails to delight. Wish he was my grandpa.
Robert Ryals I wish he were my neighbor so we could practice beer and drink archery on the weekends
+sock man you need to practice your beer daily if you really want to get good at it
Mate.... You are something special...
A truly humble man with a gift for engineering...
The world doesn't deserve someone like you...
From the bottom of my heart... I just want to say thankyou...
... huh huh huh... 🤓
Do you know who deserved him?
The Huns.
Fully semi automatic assault bow.
Not legal in California :(
Thank you, CNN.
With a big round of arrow!
Wait for the dems to try and ban it
You are gonna get bows banned. This was glorious.
Cant tell if complement or not
It's awesome that you made it public domain. It's really great that rather than choosing to be greedy, you decide to allow other people to improve it. You're awesome.
Joerg, this is one of my favorite channels. Not only the great german engineering, but your personality makes it. Cheers from Rural Central New York.
in medieval time that guy would be working for king and emperor inventing new weapon
He would be a weaponsmith...
Like Leonardo lol except RIPPED
This video made me realise you're an engineer, and not just a drunk German in the woods. Thanks.
Hutchiewoo he's both
Its the same
jajaj
Fun fact: There's no real difference.
All engineering degrees require 6mo of being a drunk German in the woods.
A bow has drawbacks? Hehehehhehe
Ezra Graham hahaha, I see what you did there :D
I see what you did there!!! Lmao!
It has some drawbacks, but I knew it wood work
Lmao!
Yeah, you "draw" the string "back".😁
Your rocking, spring-tensioned, self-adjusting follower is fantastic! Yeah, this video is from 2 years ago, but I am binging in 2019.
I have never seen your videos before. I ended up here from a random comment on Reddit and I have to say, you've immediately become a hero of mine. I could not get over how insane it is that I haven't seen this mass produced yet and I couldn't fathom how this wasn't already a thing and then as I kept watching your video, it was if you suddenly became self-aware and addressed exactly what I was thinking and put all of that to bed. Giving this idea freely. Encouraging companies to take this idea and design and use it freely. Brother the world needs more out there like you.
My friend you are a genius you should be an engineer this is why I love watching your videos I just can't get enough of them please keep them up
Raiden Hoxland i think he is an actual engineer. He also has some patents, though it's work related. He said it in a slingshot forum somewhere.
He has been an engineer all his life. That's why he is able to do all the stuff he does. It's his craft.
Holy crap, if you were born at any other time in history, this would have changed the entire world.
Could have easily made it take longer for the gun to become practical compared to the bow. Or at least kept the bow relevant for longer.
Questionable if it´s as useful on a Warbow as on a compund bow.
they had no slingshots back in the time .. so the reloadmechanism didn't work very well
Not Really, this magazine would mostly hold back a master archer from older times, it'll both decrease movement and amounts of arrows, if they where to shoot lets say 15 arrows then the normal bow would win
master archer yes. But this gives the speed(not accuracy) of a master archer to any grunt that can pull back a warbow.
Untrained archers could fire one shot in 5 to 10 seconds, and in the heat of combat hands are shaky and nocking an arrow could take 2 or 3 tries. this gives 4 perfect nocks in 4 seconds.
That is why early guns beat the bow, as any fool could take it and aim down the barrel.
Same with crossbows, slow fire rate but easy aim.
Not to mention that you can run, jump, maybe even climb easier inclines that require only one hand and have a ranged weapon at ready. Big plus in woodland and uneven terrain skirmishes.
Every time I hear him laugh, I can't help but laugh along with him. It's this infectious, hearty, laugh of a man experiencing true joy and wonderment.
I’m not a huge weapons guy anymore but love watching this guy for his passion and engineering and innovating ideas. Just really un to watch. If anyone takes his inventions and run with it, he definitely deserves the recognition and some royalties!! He deserves his own TV show
Best video I've seen in 9 years. So simple, but awesome for a guy like me that doesn't practice. I'm a little worried about noise in a tree stand w deer. But that seems easy to fix that clicking. No doubt, this would have been like giving less experienced medieval archers an Ak-47. I'm building this now. I want to get it in CAD, and cut it from the cnc machine. See if I can't get it lighter and thinner, and dampen the noise. Really more of a fun application. But awesome. And I apologize for my other comments. If you own an mp5, you know enough. In fact, for the years I've been following you, you are probably one of the most precise, creative, projectile channels out there.
Your firearm collection is nicer than most American people have. If you come back to South Carolina or GA, you have a place to stay and more weapons to shoot than you've ever seen. I'd love to see you work on some long range, accurate, platforms to match the power you produce w your creations.
oconprop the clack noise is from the arrow hitting wood when it loads I am presuming. Put a strip of Eva foam against that inner side so when the arrow loads it's silent.
I just watched the video and haven't given this much thought so I could be wrong.
Steven, you make a good point. I just realized most of the deer here in GA would need a bigger broadhead to drop faster. Otherwise, I'd be tracking it all day. I'm being picky. This thing is still awesome.
A fast repeating bow huh ? This thing should appear in video games like Assassin's Creed !!!
Nevinko Reulysanto this man just beat da vinci
What if the next Assassin's Creed takes place in modern day Germany and Joerg is their tech guy similar to da Vinci in AC2.
omg ikr
*That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen you build on your channel* . Truly amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if every bowman has one by this time next year.
Every archer aspires to be like Legolas. :)
Bows are heavy as is. No hunter would want to add 2 or 3 more pounds to their bow, let alone 5 or 6 lbs which this would weigh at minimum
Taekwondo Time...agreed.
*Zombie apocalypse happens*
Joerg: My time has come
"I could patent this, but I hereby release it for public domain" ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!
You are so honest and pure.
Love how you just give it away, and adds "I have enough money". A man not ruled by greed, it's lovely :)
That's amazing! Not only do I love your channel but I respect your love of the creative process and weaponry. As a combat veteran my wife and I love channels like this. Please keep doing what you do!!!!!!! "Let me show you it's features" we love it!!!!
"I herby give this to the public domain"- statements like this is why I subscribed! Jorge you are friggin awesome!
your creativity is unbelievable
eric gerard he's just thinking about problem. Too low fire rate? We need more bullets in magazine ,as in muskiet and modern guns. And he has created magazines with springs etc. before in his crossbows. Mankind don't need invents like that ,so he's one of first with this.
you have to be a craftman with practical skills. i hate craft and practical things.
eric gerard the plan of bow with magazine should be very simple. As you can see - final version isn't that complicated. It's only smart. AND many of his invents are based on the same rules. He hasn't created something special today ,he already do it months ago ,now he's applying this to bows.
A stroke of genius and he hands it to public domain, what a great dude.
God damn man with a heart of gold "i have enough money and im happy" tell that to the government lmfao
+LKH9 Jorge found a platform so he didn't fall in :P
LKH9 Capitalism, man. Americas religion.
actual Jörg worked as a high payed manager in his old life and just quitted cuz he was tired of this job and earned enough to life the next years without the need of a job and he was able to focus on a hobby, slingshots. This dude is still makin more cash then the most people nowaday (UA-cam, Sponsors, Product Placements, online Shop with barely expensive ( well, still worth it) items...). If u add the price of all his weapons, guns, rifles, knifes, slingshots and material, his hobby alone is worth more then most of the people houses
I can only imagine what it's like to go hunting with Joerg...
Imagine what it's like to be hunted by Joerg
He'd probably bring some like toilet brush sniper rifle and be like let's go
I can too. If he goes duck hunting he would come back with a head some feet and a ring of meat with no feathers on it
Before he's about to shoot an animal with a weapon. He pauses and says to you, "Let me show you it's features." Then proceeds to kill it with his such graceful laugh
Joerg: Walks up to a deer- "*LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES*" (loud mechanical click) "As you can see, the air cannon toilet brush sniper rifle is very effective. It entered through the side of it's lung, and exited out the other side after hitting the heart. Thank you for watching me insta- kill a deer! See you next time."
Your attitude towards inventions is delightfully refreshing! Four thumbs up!!!!
Amazing - how long have we had the bow and arrow - how many 1000s of years and here you have revolutionized the entire concept - true genius at work. Obviously, this lends itself to a magazine of even more arrows.
legality challenge: get a supersonic projectile from what german weapons law classifies as a toy
Milo Notch_is_god i guess with the 1000 joule airgun he pretty much did this
That wasn't supersonic
he did 74.74 m/s but supersonic speed is at 343 m/s, there is still a lot to do
He wasn't even close to supersonic with the air gun and wouldn't be able to even with a lighter arrow.
That is very easy to do with a ping pong ball but I am guessing you mean a proper projectile with his air gun and a very light and small arrow he might just be able to do it
Finaly a bow that is faster firing than hanzos bow
Sphynx Dash next up is the scatter shot
Console Rulers
Sounds like a challange for this man!
So this is where it began... amazing how it has changed over time.
Man! 1000's of years worth of warfare, and archery...you just upgraded! Well done! Hooked on your vids now.
What a great and humble man
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen from you. Not to say that the others say are bad. I love you channel and everything you do, don't stop.
That smile and look at the end of the video . Priceless.
You know the thing in this video that really got to me is that you put this in the public domain. You could easily make a lot of money from this idea and no one would think less of you if you did because you have earned it, yet you decided that the instant Legolas should be available to everyone to improve the design. I do really find that admirable.
You forgot to say...
*LET ME SHOW YOU IT's FEATURES*
*unsubscibes immediately*
its*
Volted I
Stop teaching terrorists how to show you its features
Love the way you handled the situation in this video man. " I am happy and have enough money". Great video!!
They probably don't fly true, but they fire good enough. The longer you shoot, the more inconsistencies in flight there will be. Also they are not flying very fast, if they were faster that would change a lot. Your a real man for beating the system and sharing your gifts with the world. More power to you.
What a great guy, giving his invention into the public domain! This is progress!
Considering the importance bows have played in warfare over thousands of years it baffles me that only now something like this has been made (and so simple)
That's so kind of you to make it public! Respect to you!
OMDFG... The whole video is awesome, as usual, but that slow-motion at the end... THAT WAS GOLD !
Truly innovative. Also hats off to *you* for placing this idea in the public domain - where all ideas belong.
Bravo Man..........bravo
🤯👍👍👍👍
Bobby Duke Arts I’m subbed to u
Do you... want that?
Hi buddy
Eye wount thay-at.
Wow you are pretty awesome for just giving it away
What an ingenious solution to a milennia old problem 😀 and what a great attitude and humility. Amazing
3:45 Easily the nicest "It's easy" i've ever heard! Joerg is such a special, intelligent and warm hearted person! Echt Danke für die vielen Jahre der Unterhaltung!
A very cool design, almost makes it look like a rifle, with some paint or in aluminum it would look even better.
Holy shit, first time I've made it to a Joerg video without it having tens of thousands of views already.
Ikr
You are one of my favorite you tubers I love how you aren’t in it for the money and you love what you’re doing and I’m glad that you’re happy
Unheard of ideas that go public, man you're a legend.
coolest shit I seen in a while
i would like to have a 10 hour version of you saying "as you see"
if someone might do it, i will be in debt forever
Your brain works in ways I just can't even possibly come close to. Simply amazing. :)
The slowmo at the end when joerg pulls back and then looks at the camera😂😂😂. Legendary.
A true mad genius, he just wants this destructive chaos to flood the markets
Definately one of the coolest people on youtube.
It is an amazing invention, and I thank you for making it public domain, it really seems practical for a compound bow as most people who use a compound shoot targets or animals and don't really want to spend a long time learning how to shoot really fast as it is fairly hard with a compound with many sights, but this really just simplifies it, much like handheld machine guns greatly reduced the skill needed to hit a target.
I am a machinist and have made many of my own homemade... toys... and I really appreciate the ingenuity of your designs and fun ideas. Keep making these great videos please.
The bow has drawbacks
H8ed Rebel Plague nice joke
damn, beat me to it.
H8ed Rebel Plague 👏👏👏
Stop the puns
It definitely comes with strings attached.
Next is the fully automatic bow.
He has one
Then there's the full semi-automatic bow
That slowmo laugh at the end was killer!
You have proof of concept right in your hand! Your money problems could be over man! You are a true man giving it out to the public...
I've been waiting for this ever since that notification a few days ago!
You could send one magazine to Skallagrim.
Salat0 2 If it arrives ...
I 100% would buy this I hope a company streamline this one day and put it on the market, you are a genius Joerg, I’m surprised your not a millionaire from these inventions I guess your happy with what you got, I respect that very much
A repeating compound bow! Just brilliant!
Make a bigger one!!!
jospi2 😂😂😂😂
Nice idea Jörg! Just 2 improvements for Mark II: 1) Leave the forward box open so you can stack two-bladed broadheads. 2) Try to make up a quick replacement mount, so you can quickly attach another (pre-loaded) magazine instead of fumbling the arrows into the magazin. That way you can pre-load some magazines and just clip them on. That would be awesome! And cudos to making this idea public domain! I have just one thing to criticise: I missed your slogan "Let me show you its features!", hehe.
That is one of the coolest inventions ever. You are a true Genius, and a very nice guy.
I've seen lots of your videos and you are a good man by sharing these knowledge to everyone. Wish all the best comes for you always.
Amazing work Joerg. Its a pleasure to tune in, not many YT channels have the same selfless entertainment that you provide. Much love from Texas, USA.
You made something that eliminates one of the weaknesses of the bow.
This is fantastic. Would love to see the design process.
If I had to survive through a zombie a zombie apocalypse, I'd want this guy in my group.
This channel never ceases to surprise and amaze me.
I hope you are throwing patent papers out left and right man, You really got something here. Not to mention all the other awesomeness you've made. *Cheers*
Holy shit I just watched the rest of the video....You are a madman
das is wirklich cool. gratuliere

Jacky The Jocker i think my pig whistles.
You guys don't have all your cups in the cupboard....
I think it goes, it's not that heavy.
of all your inventions, this one is the million dollar idea. patent and start production
"OOps that was the car door! "

It’s his test door

Nah he uses that door a lot
Yeag
Thats fckn amazing, how is this not a real thing?
It is.
Yeah Liam, poor choice of words :D You just witnessed it being "real" :D
BadPeople1100 if it ran parallel with the bow it would be called a quiver lol
BadPeople1100 That wouldn't work, the arrows would get in the way of the string. It would be preferable if you could get it to work. But I don't see how you could.
BadPeople1100 agreed
Genesis. This was the beginning. Mad respect ❤
man this is super impressive, this has to be the biggest advancement in bow technology in thousands of years. I would love to see it made into a commercial product.
ADD A DRY FIRE SAFETY!
no draw after last arrow. Other than that, this is brilliant and I love the though of optics on a bow.
You should attach a folding stock to the end
Sample Text i think it would be too long with extended stock
Sample Text Oh no! Not the dreaded shoulder thing that goes up!
Cyka Blyat not as a full extension but rather parallel to the magazine with maybe a few inches longer
totally addicted to slingshot channel 👍😍😍
This gentleman is nice hearted and genius as well.
Yes, bows do have a lot of DRAWBACKS
