The creator tests how a supersonic baseball cannon affects various baseball gloves and a training dummy, finding that leather-on-leather impacts at supersonic speeds can create kinetic energy strong enough to ignite a fire.
From the video
Answers: What happens when a baseball is shot at supersonic speed into baseball gloves and a dummy?
- Supersonic baseball cannon physics
- Baseball glove durability tests
- High-speed photography of supersonic impacts
- Kinetic energy transfer in collisions
- Friction ignition in leather impacts
What it concludes
- Hitting a leather baseball glove with a supersonic baseball causes the leather to ignite from extreme kinetic energy and friction.
- A single baseball glove cannot stop a supersonic baseball without the ball completely passing through or destroying it.
- When multiple baseball gloves are lined up, a supersonic baseball can pass through all of them.
- Guardian Bikes use a SureStop braking system that prevents head-over-handlebar accidents and stops up to 44% faster.
