Giant Metal Boomerang... Did It Come Back?

In today's video we're scaling up a project found in Grant's book 52 Random Weekend Projects. It's possible to make a working boomerang out of a couple of paint sticks, but can we make an even bigger one, and how will one made out of metal fly?

try actually "BENDING" the trailing edges of the metal one downward like flaps. basically you need to either spin it 100x faster or you need to increase its "bite" on the air to overcome its inertia. make Colin Furize it? attach it to a motor get it spinning at some insane speed (balance it first) and then catapault it into the air and release ?

Its the same thing if you use metal which is heavier than wood and you know the surface lenght of the boomerang causes it to fly would you increase the suface lenght. They know how the boomerang works but they dont have the common sense to see the problem im 15 and i could figure this out. I bet they didn't even use a light weight metal like aliminum or something

I'd also like to see if they could grind it up into a color changing powder

@sxnthwave 4 жыл бұрын

For metal you also have to account for the weight to surface area ratio. The reason the wooden ones fly like they are supposed to is because there’s enough force from the air on the surface area to support the weight of the boomerang for a certain period of flight. You can go thinner and thinner until eventually your metal boomerang weighs the same as your wooden one and still has the same surface area on the sides, or you can make your wings wider to provide more surface area.
