How can we help with the reporting process of accounts that have been stealing/reposting without credit your content to X?

Steven Payne

Looks like you have a 1.5 mm tolerance on positioning. Maybe less. Talk about patience, I doubt I would have that much. More likely, I would hope for luck. LOL

Ken S

Owner of the IP has to report it! Viewers can only tell him it's happened. Another channel I watch has the same thing happen. He said it would be a 24/7 job reporting it all... and he's about 1/16 of Dustin's channel size!

Steven Payne

Oh, I was way off. Looks more like it was .2 mm tolerance. So I assume you were shining the laser through barrel. Genius!

Lars Sturm

Destin don‘t leave us hanging! Why did that rock not break? And what kind of puny breaking rocks were the others?

Steve Jones

Regarding the gunpowder "jumping the gap" I think it's more likely that you're seeing residue left in the barrel from previous shots, unless you cleaned that gun WELL between every shot.. Obviously I dont know, but.. just seems like the more likely answer!!

Kilenji

that’s a pretty small bullet! usually a match head is used as a frame of reference for small things, and that bullet is in the same order of magnitude if you will

Jonas Grimes

It always seemed that the rear flat side of the bullet was what ignited the match and also it seemed kind of like the gasses the match released were what allowed it to ignite

Greg Strike

I always love what Gordon adds to the slow-mo shots.

Seth E Lowrance

Fantastic video Destin! I appreciate your continued enthusiasm for learning new things.

Nathan Foster

I haven't laughed so hard from a video in a long time. The bullet carrying the match was so awesome! The enthusiasm was truly felt man. And as always, love the message behind it all!

Maarten Daalder

Were the matches in 019 MATCHES BULLET.00_08_38_50.Still002.png warped like that out of the box or is there some sort of shutter effect at play? [EDIT] Oh, I missed the second channel video. That will likely answer my question based on the thumbnail.

Hogtown Pens

"Striking a Match With a Bullet at 380,117 fps" actually seems INCREDIBLY difficult 🤣

Steve Kurt

A great and fun video! The issue of precision and repeatability was in the back of my head from the start, and it was a relief to see you picking up the practices of a machinist as you progressed. I think it's natural to take your first shot (no pun intended!) at something, and then learn where your assumptions proved incorrect. We have too much competing for our time to be incredibly rigorous right at the start.

SO MANY QUESTIONS! Biggest one, How did the bullet match NOT IGNITE!?! Second is HOW!?! How did it flex that much and stay together and tilt vertical without deflecting... + 50 other similar remarks. One thing I noticed that would make your life easier in the future when playing with .22 (or any other bullet/firearm accuracy related things) would be to use a bolt or rolling/dropping block action, and maybe spend a few bucks at a gunsmith to have them work over the locking lugs/chamber. The 10/22 you were using isnt exactly built for round on round repeatability... Its the accuracy/precision kinda thing. I get it, it got the job done, and done very nicely, but Id be willing to bet a case of your favored beverage that a local gun smith might have a "broken" .22lr bolt action laying around that you could likely get for cheap.

Tim Federwitz

I *NEED* a still of the bullet carrying the match like an Olympic Torch Runner lighting the final Olympic Flame!! 🤣🤣

Peter McIntyre

i'd like to see a slow-mo of the matching exiting the barrel, i'm sure it had a wild ride

Kyle Mansfield

The shockwave picture is awesome! I was curious with how that would affect the process or if the stick could even withhold the pressure. Cant wait to watch!

Greg Strike

I've been thinking about this the last few days... How accurate can you be from further away?

Fred S

Exceedingly dangerous to put any object in the barrel of a gun. Just luck because you were using 22 shorts. Look up images of guns that have been fired after having gotten some mud in the barrel For really gruesone look up the 12 ga/20 ga shotgun explosion. Ethreme case but scary.

smartereveryday

This is an interesting question. I wonder if I were to make a Google form or something. Thank you for being willing to tell me!

smartereveryday

Thank you so much. In a world where people are getting more and more sensational, it's fun to keep remembering what this is all about.

smartereveryday

Oh yeah, this is an off the shelf model from the late 90's! Not working with clockwork at all!

smartereveryday

I recorded that, but the frame rate was too low to see anything.

smartereveryday

If we locked down the barrel, I bet we could get pretty accurate!

Randy Coffee

Hear me out… Baseball cannon. Lighting matches.

Greg Strike

So you're telling me you think you could light one from across a football field?!?! ;)

Chris Becker

At least then the cardboard shouldn't be necessary!

Chris Becker

I love how slow motion shows the relative speed of "fast" things. When the bullet is slowed down to a "walk", the gasses still move at a run or jog. The shattering/splitting of wood or matchhead is still very quick. The chemical chain reaction finally igniting the match seems so slow and delayed. Time to go do some match-striking research - on the patio and on Google :)

Chris Becker

Also, you did a great job in the video with striking the matches much gentler than I would have thought!

Glen Prideaux

I'm fascinated by the vibration captured by the rolling shutter. The two matches vibrating seem to be doing so at very different frequencies. I would have expected them to have near-identical resonant frequencies.

Delphine

Hey Destin, what a fun video! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure you’ll see Steve’s video using Mica powder to explore convection. He explained the mica powder aligns itself locally in the liquid, showing turbulence. As a member of team laminar, I bet you can imagine what my burning question would be. How does mica powder behave in a laminar flow? My hypothesis would be that as the powder reaches the hole, it would maintain its orientation, and the slomo result would appear like a rod of turbulent twirls. I bet that the orientations of the mica powder, produced by turbulence, will stay structurally intact as the liquid transitions to laminar. No further turbulence churning the twirls, but instead the twirls translating with constant shape through the flow. An alternative hypothesis would be that the mica powder will orient itself along the laminar flow, and appear as a metal rod, and another, that there would somehow be turbulence inside of the laminar flow, that twirls the twirls as the flow proceeds. What do you think? Respectfully, Jacob
