Very interesting concept Joerg. Big thanks once again for the amazing tips you gave me!

A slingshot?!!! On the sli..... JoergSprave channel?????

“let me show you its features” i’m only here to hear those words and then see the mayhem afterwards.

I have to say this and I really hope you see this, Joerg. But, for some reason, seeing you with another crazy slingshot in your hands today brought back so many nostalgic feelings of the "good old days" of KZfaq. KZfaq felt like the Wild Wild West when I found you about 15 years ago, and you truly were the wildest guy of the bunch. The tight t-shirts, big muscle, cool sunglasses, awesome video intro - I still remember the music - and badass slingshots were so much fun. I was about 14 or 15 years old when I found a video of you destroying a motorbike helmet in your old back garden with a little handheld slingshot and I've been a fan ever since. My friends in school and I used to watch the video where the steel ball bounced back and smashed the glass in your back window and the one where you set off fireworks for New Year and they misfired and exploded onto the roof of your house and laugh our asses off over the craziness haha. That, and we would always say your catch phrases along with you. "12 millimeter steel balls" and "LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES. HAHAHA." were our favourites. You reminded us of a real life version of "The Heavy" from Team Fortress 2, which was huge at the time. Your arc of making different types of machines for destroying zombies was one of our absolute favourites. All of this to say, thank you so much for the amazing memories and for still working hard on creating content to this day. I'm looking forward to seeing whatever crazy invention you cook up next. It would be great to see you bring out the old intro AND a bunch of the old slingshots for once last round. That's it for my comment today. Thanks and bye bye 👍

It's a breath of fresh air to see you back at crazy slingshots, hope to see more of it!

"Let me show you its Features!" Proceeds to Blow a Golf Ball-sized hole through your chest with a Toy.

Well Jorge, you now have me thinking about a shoulder mount bazooka type set up with automatic ball feed. Run all the pre tensioner pulleys inside a PVC tube with a landing over the top for the sling shot. A shoulder mount underneath that fits snug front and back of the body with a pistol grip up front of the tube that also serves as a ratchet for the mechanism. Make it into a ballzooka.

This is wonderful! Reminds me of the way Fleas store power for their jump.

I love these madcap inventions, the best bit is they work.

I watched Mike’s video and was incredibly impressed with your helpful response. I was hoping we’d see some kind of follow up on your channel!

I have been watching your videos since I was 13, I'm 21 now and your videos greatly influenced my hobbie in making my own slingshots. It's great to see your still passionate about using rrrrubbber hah hah hahh!

Mechanically, it seems similar to the instant legolas, but it's a slingshot with no magazine. Good use of the pulley thing to assist the draw weight. Looks deadly.

So happy to see you making slingshot videos again very informative

Joerg makes me wish Germany had less restrictive gun laws, I'd love to see his iterative improvements on firearms.

I haven't watched the Slingshot Channel in a long time- this video reminds me why I started in the first place! Awesome!

You're giving me an idea for a "body braced" slingshot.

Der Kanal hat einfach mit Inhalt und ohne krassen Videoschnitt und all dem Kram den man sich heute so ausdenkt über 3 Mio Abos, das ist wirklich unfassbar. Meinen Respekt. Damals bei Stefan Raab schon darauf Aufmerksam geworden. Weiter so

Jörg gibt alles für den Schleuder-Spaß. 🎉 weiter so ❤

More crazy gadgets Joerg, I miss that so much

That loading mechanism with 2 pins and a magnet is genius and would make an arm brace sling shot ready to go with "one in the chamber"!

Back to the roots

Genius. After all these years you can still impress me with something new. Also, I am HAPPY to se another slingshot on the Slingshot Channel.

The most beautiful thing in my mind has always been genuine enthusiasm from people, and it's always on full display in these videos.

I see what you're saying, Jorge. The draw-assisting band helps in pulling back the 4 strong propelling bands. Great. But the farther you pull back on the propelling bands, the less assist is provided by the draw-assist band because it's going back to not stretched. So the length of your frame and the two draw lengths have to be a balance, some compromise in one aspect for one gain in another aspect. So your slingshot skeleton and bands strengths and draws are all set at a balance. It's another proof that you're a genius at these weapons designing! Thanks much for showing it. Oh, made a good atlatl. And discovered an atlatl is the most un-accurate weapon in existence. About 20% spear travel distance was gained, and about 25% accuracy was lost. Unless a person wants to spend 30% of their awake hours practicing. 👍😁👍

After years of watching, I am never disappointed. As an American living in Germany, I love watching Joerg finding loopholes in Germany's absolutely insane weapons laws, like their pocket knife laws. Just make a law saying you cannot stab people..

Always simple but genius engineering.😊

Keep building this cool stuff! I love it!

Good to see ya getting back to your roots here. Would love to see more of this kinda thing!

The design is very human

I so miss the slingshot and all the different types and contraptions you have made before nice to see great work mate 👍🦘🇦🇺

If the roller were on a ball bearing it would have far less friction.

I have matching fingers! slipped removing some supports from a 3d print and stuck a leather-man blade right into my left index.

Awesome!!! Good to see you back with the good stuff

Get this guy in the next Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Exo Suit DLC

I had scrolled down to leave a comment when I heard "Ow! Ricochet!" And I had to go see if Joerge was actually hit by the shoot, and barely cared.

love these videos, nothing major or fancy, just a man and his slingshots, love you Joerg, been watching since the start 🙏

Super coole "kooperation", ich habe mir bei Mike auch das Video angeguckt. Gerne mehr in die Richtung, wenn es sich mal ergibt!

Mal wieder eine Schleuder . Wunderbar

Back to the roots, Jörg! 😎👍

I come for @MikeShake . You are the god of the slingshot, it brings back many memories for me. There was a time when I was obsessed with your channel, before I started trying things on my own on YT. I follow you, big greetings!

That thing is downright terrifying.

I would love to see this developed more, Joerg! If Mike can increase his slingshot-power potential by these means, we would all love to see what you can do!

Probably could make it so you could cock with a foot brace like they put on the end of a crossbow. They’re really hard to draw too especially if you’re getting older lol they do make wind up Cocker’s for them though.

You're a legend, Joerg! 💪

I feel like a rack and pinion is perfect here. Put a loop on the back of the cup. Attach this to a post at the end of the rack. Mount a guide rail for the rack, then interface a gear with the rack, and a lever with a ratchet to the gear. Now you can crank the rack and the pouch back one crank of the lever at a time. Use a trigger pull to lift the loop off the post, and it fires. Then lift the ratchet to slide the rack forward, re-set that loop on the post, and repeat.

Some time in the late 2010s, Mattel filed a patent for a Boomco blaster that used this principle with springs, to help prime a pump action or bolt action rifle. Sadly, the brand folded before it went into production, but this is a very neat spiritual successor to the idea.

you are a genius and I love your personality ... you are having fun and have a humble approach 😊👍👍👍

Great idea! Cool to see another one of these rubbery contraptions after a bit of a break :)

Clever!

The blood on the handle is what makes it really cool!

Your incredibly kind not naming this video, “the real world’s strongest slingshot”. Which you could have. We all know who is boss around here.

It looks amazing! Putting the back screw on a rail would make it a lot easier to control it I think, you don't have to worry about position (as much) or about the assist not letting go since it would be attached and limited by the rail.

amazing. I hope jorge lives forever, honestly

That’s a GREAT IDEA. So much power in that thing.

Absolut genial jörg. Das ist sehr raffiniert umgesetzt.

The mechanism is essentially allowing you to draw twice and store the energy of both draws into the system; or divide the energy required to draw the main rubber viewed another way. In theory you could use multiple parallel counter bands and pulleys with a locking clip to store even more draws of energy and get ridiculous velocities, but then the whole thing gets heavier, the length constraint could maybe be eased using a clever compound pulley arrangement. Maybe a mounted turret lol?

Short armed people, beware! Love this idea!

Perhaps put an Exo Skeleton on your hands as well.

Another idea: what about cocking a slingshot with the leg, the leg is more powerful and you can use you own weight in your benefit, we are talking about a lot of power, but doing it wrong can kill you

This is what we are here for slingshots thank you sir your an incredible inventor

Dear Jörg, thank you very much for your laughing and also for your intense and inspired work. Especially in the last few years it was you that kept me holding on. And i've got the feeling , that i'm not the only one. I worked for over 40 years as a professional musician and was doing quite well with it. But this Corona stuff threw me off the rails and i'm trying very hard to get back where i belong. But as many other artists too, i first had to sell all of my eqipement, before getting help. And in 2 months i ll get kicked out of my appartement and will be homeless. But that's not what i wanted to write in first place - on the other hand, sometimes wired random stuff happens...but only if you let other peiple know about. Okay, concerning your cool idea: to me there is one problem left . The limiting factor is now the strength of your fingers. Because they are the connection now. Yes, you can stretch now 4 mercyless rubberbands much wider due to the support of the add on. But then xou still have to hold ( or rather fix) the puchet ( sorry, i can t remember all these terms), .but i hope u see what i mean. I'm doing freeclimbing and hard bouldering for about 30 years now and have built up some helpfull power in my handmuscles ( yes i know, the fingers are only the servants... the muscles for them are placed mainly at the underarms...) and solid bones, tendons, joint capsulas. So probably my fingers are as strong as yours, concerning gripping power - but in all other aspects i am lightyears away from your power. I guess i couldn't even use a slingshot with only 2 yellow bands. It could end like " Bizarre: Ex musician found dead with a slingshot stuck in his head. Was it suicide ? Our expert from our sports ressorts told us, that usually the slingshot itself isn't shot - therefore steelballs are used. The slingshot itself usually isn't shot anywhere.....stay tuned..." Have i missed something ? If not, then we need a tool, that allows to connect the slingshot pouch with the end of the helping rubber line - and THAT IS THE CRUX - which can be "released" = disconnected, right at the moment of shooting. It must be save and relieable and work in milliseconds, so it doesn't hinder the 4 yellow wild horses on their WARP2 race forward. I guess, this tool already exists. As so often. But is serving for some complete different task. Until now. And my thoughts wander to the old trigger mechanisms for crossbows...and...hum... then we could end up with a. ... crossbow 😂 Some sort of Schrödingers thing. It oszillates between a slingshot and a crossbow. Strange.... And of course it may not collide with any weapon laws. If this might be the case or could destroy some slingshot powerjunkies' life, physicly or in terms of justic, please delete this comment. Those are only some thoughts of mine. In case they are helpful or interesting i'm glad. But if they can do bad things , please kick them. All best wishes, that also goes to this huge community Wolfgang

Joerg the secondary band being less useful the more you draw back your main bands actually gives me and idea, where the main body of the sling shot could be made from a pipe with a piston inside, which would allow for the body to become a linear force spring using atmospheric pressure, you could very easily have a 20kg/45lbs spring that is just as effective, at the start of the draw as it is at the end of the draw, and all without increasing the size of this setup in anyway.

FINALLY, THE GOAT IS BACK

That is the kind of content i subscribed for!

Aww heck yeah! A new video dropped! Definitely liking. 😎

"A wrist brace which is illegal in Germany" Germany is such a silly place.

Amazing idea! Well done.

Instead of that fiddly pin+loop catch that you show at 2:59 to 3:22, I would just have affixed the hand loop to the grip end of the beam with a meter or so of normal rope. (When you pull the hand loop forwards, the rope just goes slack. When you want to take your hand out of the loop, the rope holds it from going back too far automatically. And when you release the pouch with a lot of force in your arm, it would also keep your hand from snapping back violently; which could and give the long rubber band the 5mm or so of slack that it needs to jump off the roller, or even just smack your hand into the roller.)

You could have an archer's glove that the assisting band is attached to, and a tension cinch on the release. Cool design!!! Subscribed and liked.

Interesting idea. The only issue is that you get the most tension with the assistance band while the shooting bands are at least tension, and the least tension while the shooting bands are at full draw/tension. But I can't think of a way around that.

Those who understand physics will always have an edge at achieving their goals of destruction than their peers that do not.

Thanks Joerg! Pulleys are awesome

Hurrah for slingshots!! Joerg Sprave forever!!

Nice idea to use the pulley. I wasn't expecting that.

Awesome technology showcase. The real world examples are always so interesting. This is how much of the legolarific bow tech came to be. We've even seen this "reflex" type in a wooden bow? I believe so. With bands... interesting.

A large mounted version of this with a ratchet system would be awesome you could use a clasp mechanism so when you release the shot the extra weight does not slow down the pouch

Now that's the content we slingshot freaks like to see!! AWESOME contraption once again!! There's no limits for imagination in the slingshot world!!

Seriously though, it feels like this kind of application of physics should have more of an affect on us. Or that it would have if we hadn't basically surrendered effort to machines, not that that's a bad thing. Getting my head around this is making me look at everything different. I feel like I'm in a 70s Sci-Fi movie dream sequence.

great idea!

Thinking outside the box. Brilliant.

That's clever, it's like when using resistance band for doing pull ups until gaining more strength, the band will help tanking extra weight.

Awesome. Wonderful to see a slingshot... Careful with those blades... ;)

You should make a pocket version Joerg. Love from sweden!

I liked this video, it is light hearted and fun.

Dang that's so clever, no wasted energy

I had to watch the first few seconds like five times.

So nice to see you return to your roots - ZDP189

You could apply the concept of the instant Legolas to this slingshot. You already have a rail to work with.

Sehr clever, gute idee beim Vorwärtsbewegen der Hand schon Zugkraft quasi zu investieren. Anstatt einer Schraube wo das eingehakt ist könntest du eine Klinke dort installieren, die nach hinten sperrt und nach vorne, wenn man "nach vorne" dran zieht, das Band einfach freigibt.

I think we can all agree Goliath woulda been effed up the a-way if Joerg had been David's slingshot guy.

Galvanized square steel beam?

jeorg Love your channel. By the way, I was just thinking, if. there is a way, maybe you can use some of the Mechanics of a compound bow. To make it flow a little easier and provide less resistance where. you need it more resistance when it's optimal.

Maybe add a leather wrap around the string you loop your hand through, to reduce the strain of it digging into the skin, as well as adding greater surface area for increased grip.

You gave me a thought then you talked about the pulley system. You probably already thought of this, but just in case you hadn't I'll mention it. What if you set up a set of pulleys similar to that of a compound bow? Yes, the question then is "why not just us a bow instead of a slingshot?". But that's not your purpose here. It's a demonstration of the physics of it - and a great one at that. I just wonder if the same effect might be obtained with a shorter exoskeleton bar in this way, making it more compact? On the other hand, the compound bow design is made to make the draw easier, so perhaps my thought is just plain silly since the tension wouldn't be as strong. I leave it to you to think about though as a fun thought experiment

Best channel ever😊

Gave me a great idea, thank you very much.

Alright ! finally the slingshot channel again!

How about a multi-stage load? Manually pull the payload back halfway to a latch attached to a mechanical advantage slider. The handle portion could run the entire length and the latch portion only the back half. The final draw could 2:1 of (nearly) your entire wingspan to pull the carriage back an extra couple feet. Bonus of being incredibly accurate.
