I made a baseball bat that uses explosives to add a bunch of energy to your swing and hit a baseball really far. It uses the explosive blanks normally used to shoot nails into concrete (e.g. ramset). It worked way better than I expected, didn't have a kick, and turned out to be just a really neat thing to look at while sipping a frosty beverage. I also made a video about it if you're interested: https://youtu.be/Puo6Vgcbxps
I love your videos! Not just because of your incredible command of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and programming.
The thing I think you do so well is you take a statement like a little kid would make- I want to only hit home runs or, I want to sink a basket every time. And then you break down the problem and solve it. It's incredibly inspirational!
My girlfriend's son was struggling in school with math and science and he just didn't see how they could be cool or why they were important or something. I showed in the videos from your channel and it was so incredible where I was like hey look. Here's something that seems like total fantasy or like something like a six-year-old would say, but look with science and engineering you can make it happen.
Anyway, thank you very much Shane for what you do and how are you inspire people
I shouldn't be surprised that you post here. Your channel is amazing and inspiring, and I love that you dive into your failures and dead-ends, and hide little background gags on the monitors. And the pranks and roasts between you and your wife are so much fun to watch - you're a lucky man.
I'm honestly a little jealous that you've managed to carve out a niche where you get to imagine and built insane/cool stuff. A dream come true! Congrats and great channel.
I've gotta say, I appreciated how you spent literally 75% of the video explaining all your safety precautions and how they all helped you avoid death, dismemberment, or disfigurement.
Your productivity absolutely phenomenal. Each video that comes out seems like you make what would take a normal person a good part of a year to produce in a fraction of the time.
