Dude. Well done on so many levels. Not sure how I’ve never seen your channel till now but i’m glad the algorithm made the suggestion.
-
That's really fun.
-
I feel bad for the farmer that kept getting bombarded for several hours under Medieval Siege
-
The flywheel coming to a near deadstop left me speechless. such a good representation of the conservation of energy
-
Alternate title: "Local man launches tennis balls into next village."
-
"My old trebuchet hasn't aged very well...". As a conversation-opener, that takes some beating.
-
Imagine, you’re making yourself a morning cup of coffee, looking out the kitchen window hoping to see birds and deer, but instead you see your neighbor building a trebuchet. Thinking to yourself, I wonder if this house can withstand a siege? Also contemplating and calculating on when to return and how long to have borrowed a weed trimmer.

Battle of Neighbor Field. Result: tactical Stanton victory; Neighbor's sheep startled and routed from the battlefield. Casualties: 1 pulley
-
Somewhere in the distance someone is getting constantly bombarded by tennis balls
-
Your videos are consistently excellent, Tom - that high speed camera was an awesome investment!
-
i was thinking 'man that'd be awesome if he put a motor on this thing" right when you said "perhaps i'll put a motor on the crankshaft". can't wait for THAT video lol, thanks for the great content
-
"That is gonna kill somebody when it lands in boston."
-
You had me at Flywheel, awesome video
-
people 30km away from tom: "why are here so many tennis balls?"
-
I think this is one of your best videos. It's just really interesting to see how flywheels can store energy like this.
-
Excellent! Really. Especially impressed by the energy transfer with the heavier projectiles.
-
Not going to lie, this was a brilliant demonstration of energy transfer. Hats off to you.
-
Super clever concept.
-
I love the way nearly all the energy is transferred from flywheel to ball. Splendid!
-
Really great stuff! Genius interpretation of a trebuchet and look forward to seeing more!
