Some people are confused about things in the video that i didn't explain very well. 1. Me throwing the coin had nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to know how fast I could throw a coin and also if it was possible to keep it on the skinny edge. 2. I wasn't suggesting that you need to throw the coin off the empire state building to reach a fast enough speed to kill someone. Just that by dropping it with a spinning motion would keep it on the skinny edge allowing it to reach a much faster terminal velocity. 3. The terminal velocity I calculated was actually slower than ones that people in the comments have estimated using physics programs. Some of the estimates were around 300 kmph. The point of the pig test was to show what a coin traveling at 230kmph (slower than the terminal velocity) would do to you. Turn you into a piggy bank 4. Also the point of the dam test was to show that the spin would at least keep the coin on the skinny edge for 45 meters. 5. How you going?

The reason why you were seemingly throwing coins at 172km/h is because of perspective. The cameras FOV is a cone starting from the camera, meaning the farther from the camera something is the more distance it can travel before it goes out of frame. This means that when looking at the coin passing in front of the markings, it can go from covering one marking to covering the next marking going less distance than there is between the two markings. This can be counteracted by moving the camera further away and cropping in, decreasing the slope of the cone relative to the surface vector of the marking board, as the cone shape is now closer to a cylinder than before.
@waffler-yz3gw9 ай бұрын
@fara-sarait do the slope so perspective look weird
You are kind of on the right track but not quite. First of all: don’t think cone, think pyramid. Second: What you are describing is called parallax. The parallax effect is definitely a factor but I think you are overestimating it. One additional issue here is that even with so many fps, in an individual frame the coin is very blurry. This makes it hard to make out its exact position. I expect this to contribute a lot to the error. That combined with the parallax effect might significantly affect the result. There is also lens distortion. However, that is mostly a concern when pure pixel distances are used. In this instance the painted bars werde used which of course are equally affected by lens distortion therefore eliminating it as a factor in theory.
@NicksStuff9 ай бұрын
Another adding factor to the error is the distance between the coin and the scale: the higher it is, the bigger the error

The one thing he still needs to test are side winds. I suspect that during the fall from the Empire State, that side gusts would hit the coin and send it off-face. The counter to this is a really strong spin, but I don't think you can pull that off with enough inertia - mostly because the coin doesn't have enough relative mass. So, I still think there is a real possibility that a spun, heavy coin would not kill someone if you dropped it. Also worth noting that the original myth is a penny, which I think even with these ideal conditions wouldn't kill anyone. Superb video as always.

The problem with accelerating an object to terminal velocity with anything other than gravity is that it accelerates far too quickly, the forces acting on the coin have much longer to make it unstable in flight when falling and makes it more and more likely to start fluttering... slowing it to be relatively harmless. You'd be better to use a shape that is relatively stable like a ball bearing if you really were a homocidal tourist.

"this doesn't really feel like a science experiment" - the guy who just set the video up by saying "they were wrong" because we've got higher mass coins, and because he has no idea what terminal velocity or air resistance is. The empire state building could be 1, 2, 10, or 1000 time higher than that, and it would not make a bit of difference. Also, regarding the coin coming down on its edge: ugh... air is essentially a liquid. Try dropping a coin into a lake such that it floats all the way down without tumbling off its edge, and so it gains significantly more speed than other coins. You might whip it into the water and it might go fast... for a second. Then it'll start tumbling, slow down, and come to terminal velocity. The reason this didn't feel like a science experiment was because it wasn't one. I know seven year olds who would be embarrassed at the broken logic used here. Good for you for playing and experimenting, but it appears you're broadcasting bs before you've taken a beat to learn anything.

The reason you may have had trouble getting the done down: Mavic Minis have sensors on the bottom. The magazine almost certainly wouldve triggered the sensors, causing the drone to think it was perpetually right above the ground. As they're programmed to fly up to about 1m above the ground it just kept flying up (as seen in the video) until it hit the legal altitude limit and ran out of charge, falling slowly back down to the "ground" which it thought it was directly above.

@@nephatrine Actually, I think you'll find that the majority, if not all, of Mythbuster's experiments are severely lacking and don't account for a myriad of variables. It's still a decent show, and relatively informative, but it's hardly the be all, end all of scientific mythbusting. It was all very surface level, they had limited time to do things and a limited budget. The main thing was to make an entertaining show. I wouldn't take most, if any of it, as irrefutable scientifically proven fact however. (In fact, I wouldn't do that with many actually scientifically proven facts, in the first place. There's very little which turns out to be actually irrefutable. We learn, we grow, we learn more.) Also, this video is entirely about dropping pennies. And as stupid yet entertaining as IDAT always is. Though hardly a "debunk" video, lol.

@@nephatrine Well one huge problem with the penny drop from the empire state building is if dropped from anyplace the general public has access to from any height there or above it will always land on a ledge. The lowest ledge is not very high up meaning it will basically always catch a thrown or dropped penny or other coin. You could throw it way out sure but even then you wont manage to hit any given target. As far as the myth busters go a insane amount of their stuff was debunked and shown to be false. Effectively once the internet was in basically every home the show lost popularity and ratings flat lined as people would see something on the show then go and look up the physics facts or other facts related and just stopped tuning in

he also didn't consider that framerate isn't necessarily the same as shutter speed, you can be shooting at 250 FPS and 1/500 shutter speed, that'd mean the shutter is only open for half a frame for every frame (1/500th of a second every frame), thus, whatever it appears to have travelled in one frame, is actually half of what it travelled during the frame-time
