    I propose that instead of smashing stuff (as gratuitously fun to watch as it is), can I suggest using the impact of the hammer to act as the catalyst to a mechanism... like what you have done before at the 45m tower to launch stuff into the air. at this place you have fewer constraints, a LOT of force and plenty of room for something to fly in the air. so (think: mousetrap); using the hammer to hit against a pivot or a fulcrum (thick steel plate?) resting on a heavy solid steel cylinder and something to flip into the air when the hammer drops. the sky is the limit - literally.

    If you heat the copper to glowing and quench it.... it will soften enough to flatten. Copper work hardens (hit it, it gets harder), the opposite of ferrous metals. Love your channel! Oh yeah almost forgot, ball bearings are usually made from 52100 and hardened. WAY harder than average building material.

    The best thing you could hit would be a nail scaled up to match the hammers size increase. It would serve 2 purposes, first it would look awesome, secondly, you would then essentially have a steel support pile to set the plate on reducing force lost to soil compression,and the slight blind spot created when the plate sinks into the ground.

    I know that no one will likely read this, but to answer the question Gaunson asked at 8:50 about spheres and their strength, spheres have no where on them for stress to be concentrated. A cube, for example, has flat sides and sharp corners, which serve as ideal stress risers. A sphere has no flat sides nor sharp corners. Therefore, no stress risers.

      They put the dirt under to lower the G force of the hammer head deaccelerating thus protecting the hammer head from wearing out too quick and stopping the shockwaves that travel down the handle to the joints.
