Stopping a really, really FAST baseball...

The Smarter Every Day videos are great; I posted about the one where he constructed this cannon a few months back, but I can’t find that post.
Anyhow the baseball is going Mach 1.3 or so if I recall correctly...
The muzzle blast is astounding.

Gotta admit, I'd not want to blow up a gun that big, but I'd be all about weighing that baseball, finding out what size steel ball-bearing was just a bit less in weight, and putting it in a lightweight sabot...
Then the next project would be time-travelling so I could go after a T-rex...

OK. IF I got the math right, the TKO would be in the neighborhood of 1,486

Seeing the pressure wave ahead of the baseball and the kinetic energy released into the target was fantastic. Bring on the ballistic gelatin! And lots of it! -Tutt

It would be interesting to see what a glob of it the size of a tri-axle dump truck bed would do. Especially if it did the jumping up in the air jiggle dance you see sometimes....!CowboyTutt wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 5:43 pm Seeing the pressure wave ahead of the baseball and the kinetic energy released into the target was fantastic.
