  1. If anyone has time and enjoys doing this sort of thing, I would really like
    to know what kind of centrifugal force is acting on that ball. Say from the
    center out, in a 1mm wide path, how much force is pulling out? To keep it
    simple lets assume the golf ball has equal density throughout, weighs 45
    grams, and has a diameter of 43mm. You may also assume the 1mm path is flat
    on all surfaces, effectively turning the shape into a 1mm thick cylinder. ?

  2. @MichaelRMcCoy Okay, this isn’t worth wasting my time over. I will repeat
    though, your numbers were pulled from your lovely looking anus, and I have
    tried this in REAL LIFE. I hereby declare this flame war ‘over’. =)

  3. @twaddlegenerator Pretty hard to overlook the fact that you’re avoiding
    some of the most basic math imaginable — relating to the most indisputable
    facts surrounding the claims in the video. It’s all in the golf ball’s
    diameter [a known factor] and escaping 175 psi air [also a known factor].
    The most optimum diameter orifice used to direct the air’s flow would be
    around 3/32″, [smaller over-restricts and larger results in lower
    velocity]. 125 mph air cannot propel a ball at 350 mph. Period.

  4. I have a degree in mathematics, thanks. And it took about an hour of my
    afternoon total. You see, other people aren’t as helpless as you are. I’ve
    suspected it but now I know there’s no way you’re not a troll. Sorry that
    you have to be you. It must suck.

  5. Actually, model airplane engines are capable of turning about 35-40,000
    rpms depending on the size and type…. Turbochargers hit these numbers
    too. So not saying its right, but 70,000 certainly isn’t unreasonable.

  6. You want some facts? Check out the video I posted. Clearly your figure of
    2000rpm is completely ridiculous. Go crawl back into your hole. I don’t
    know what profession you’re in, but if it’s engineering or science you
    should be embarrassed. Actually you should be embarrassed anyway.

  7. Where are the 6 engineers? I just see a couple of auto mechanics messing
    around?

  8. Sorry, there is no way that ball is spinning at only 2000 rpm or anything
    close to that. Do you hear the frequency of that noise? I bet if you
    analyzed the audio the frequency of that noise would be WELL over only
    333hz. It sounds more like 3000-4000hz or something. Auto engines spin
    around 2,000rpm, this is way faster than that. Your basic premise on air
    pressure vs. orifice size is flawed. There are pneumatic cutoff tools that
    run on 90psi that spin at 22,000 rpm. How does that work genius

  9. Coming from an mechanical background……..any DECENT mechanic/engineer
    would have both. The US is one of the last few countries that uses this
    “antiquated” system. If im asked my height I more often than not say 5’11.
    If i was working out my body volume for some strange reason then id be in
    mm. Much like most of the younger academics are in the US.

  10. I must admit, I did ask you to demonstrate your ignorance further.– and
    you came through spectacularly. Apparently, your laughable conclusions will
    not be blurred by the most basic math imaginable. And it’s 3rd grad math.
    6th grade math involves long division and fractions — likely to blow the
    top of your brain bucket off. You’ve got way too much time on your hands,
    sparky.

  11. they should use these in engines for cars Idk what for but it spins real
    fast, :/ lol

  12. @Darkcloud9071 I think the golf ball was spinning on an air cushion created
    by comporessed air hose and the funnel was used to support it

  13. @favre4beast The familiar tactic. Escape grasshopper — run like the wind
    laddie. And leave my anus out of it.
