Hey there! This one was a lot of fun to make! Ever since the lawn mower video I've been wanting to do this, and I've been working on it all week. Thank you for those of you who support us on Patreon! You bring stability to my family's life. My goal is to be a light during this time. www.patreon.com/smartereveryday I know the world is a bit crazy at the moment. I wish you and your family peace and love. Spread the love and help others where you can. Look for the positive stories of people coming together in unity and try to amplify them. There's a lot of disinformation at the moment so if you recall what we learned together in the social media disinformation series, think twice before you share something! Warm Regards, Destin

@@BoozhiOfficial slomo sound is recorded and produced separately. If the original audio was slowed down at the same scale of the video then the pitch would be below our audible range several times over. What he possibly did was record a few things like swinging the plastic cord slowly, shaking a chain link fence, hitting vegetables, etc... slowed them down and pitched them down slightly and then added a lot of reverb.

My grandpa taught me how to scythe, and while the learning curve is very tough, the efficiency and speed of a scythe is way better than a weed eater.

Destin these videos are great. I’m enjoying the landscaping videos you’ve done as of late. I’ve landscape for years and there some things that happen I’d love to see you be able to do. We use to have guys run over ground stakes in the ground with push mowers and I’d love to see what happens to the blade and the mower as it strikes the stake. Thanks for all your hard work on all your videos Destin

It never fails to amaze me that there still exists a country that does not use the same metric system which literally the whole rest of the world uses. I fail to see how it gives them any competitive advantage. Same with being the only country that refuses to put numerals on their coins and where their sizes make no sense. Where floors of buildings are counted from 1 when they should be counted from 0 like everywhere else.

@@bluto212 The Ground Floor is usually not explicitly numbered "0", but usually has a name, like the Erdgeschoss (in Germany) or Prizemi (in Czech Republic) and other countries have different names, obviously. Generally, to leave a building, press the elevator button with a letter instead of a number. Basements are almost always numbered as -1, -2 and so on even though I have seen them named as Kellergeschoss (in Germany) or Suteren (in Czech Republic). Depends on the building, I guess.

When you asked if someone had footage of an event or scene, they were asking do you have a couple of feet of film of the event? This was shortened to footage. (I only found this out a few days ago, still amazed about it).

its funny, even as an american I hear about thousands of an inch, and it feels like some arbitrary measurement that I can't scale in my mind to other things outside of that sample. But if I hear the measurement in millimetres I have no problems. I definitely prefer metric but the hurdle that america would struggle with more than any other is switching from measuring distance in miles to kilometres the average Joe has no idea of the "feel" of traveling in kilometres because the only time they would have to understand it (outside of hiking) is when talking to a foreigner.

Destin, could you do a tension-elongation test to see how much this material stretches before it shows a plastic deformation and until what point it will show an elastic deformation. With this info, the rotations per minute you could calculate the angle at which the plastic string is being pulled and calculate the forces that apply to the string. Furthermore you could measure the time it takes the strong to rotate around the fence, where it can be seen as immobile. With the rpm of the weed eater you can also calculate the elongation of the string. Basically with the phantom you've built a visual tension-elongation measurement device. Shear forces should apply in that case. You've basically got 2 points of failure at least: 1 the impact weakens the plastic string. If the string isn't being broken by the impact, the smallest diameter of the plastic string no carries the weight of the weeed eater pull. After lowering the diameter, tension with a sheer force is being built up until the elastic deformation changes into a plastic deformation which leads to material failure. Another potential weakening of the string lies in the fact that the string is curled up and therefore shows inner tensions. As we know, inner tensions do get released when heat is applied. This heat is created upon impact with the fence. Basically you use the impact of the string to straighten it out a little and release some of the material tension. There are so many more things I have on my mind right now but due to me being German, it is hard to explain everything on my smartphone in a KZfaq comment. Greetings from a German mechanical (Diplom-) engineer in the field of material science, compound technology and damage analysis. If you want a super interesting topic, I can hit you up with a machine that I've built that replaces a multi-million dollar machine with something that can be self made for 50 bucks. It's for measuring the surface tension of EVERY surface or surface coating. 😁
