Spinning an Apple until it Explodes at 28,500fps - The Slow Mo Guys

Dan is still unable to enter the US by air due to Covid. Don't worry, though. I've heard reports that he went underground and started tunneling this way in April. - Gav

So at 3000 RPM, if we estimate the circumference of the apple to be of 25cm, that gives 3000*0,25*3,6 = 2700kph...

2:15 - Wow! Though the physics demo here is awesome, IMHO this is a much more fascinating neurophysiology and psychobiology demonstration. From what is likely primarily visual input, we see a delay to blink reflex, to a more complex multi-system involuntary flinch reflex, then the feed back as it registers in cognition which we see fed back to recognizable facial expression. Neat!

Jake Gyllenhaal really need a haircut

Rotato FASTER appl gO

Doesn't look realistic. Why exploded?

RAAAASENGAN!!!

I want to see the kitteh in slow mo. Just not spinning

Orange next 🍊

this is karate kid

The NBA needs these types of slow motion cameras

Has that dude gone for the Catweazle look... ?

How much air do you need to replicate this with a watermelon?

It is funny when the apple hit on his mask and disappeared. After all these things happened, he looked like something reminded him that it's time to blink.

Now do a slow mo of wet bread

Your sponsor is kiwiCo and you didn’t think to repeat this with a kiwi?!?!?!?!

Why did you stop at apples? Orange? Kiwi? Onion?

lord farquaad

First of all the change of direction was sick af. Second, where is the other guy? Isn't this "The Slow Mo Guys" not the "The Slow Mo Guy"?

How fast does earth spin and why doesn't it just come apart

is this Rhett’s little brother??

* ROTATE APPLE FAST ROTATO*

You know it's about to explode when it slows down and goes in reverse.. it's spinning so fast it's actually reversing time and goes back to before it existed..

I've seen people split an apple with their hands and the split is in the exact same spot at the clip at 4:30. interesting.

I'm surprised that the hole in the Apple didn't cause problems. One would think that would cause the object to fly across the room. Or perhaps that is what caused the catastrophic breakdown of the structure of the item. Another video perhaps. Thanks to you, Dan and Destin.

This video is hilarious. You look like a caveman levitating an apple.

109 spins per second. That is amazingly fast. Nice.

But what's the redline of an apple with forged internals?

How dare you post something so awesome!! Great experiment.

How do you slice your apples? With compressed air

Apple sentenced to death by *speen*

watching an apple go terminal velocity is actually kinda funny ngl

I wonder how the thumbnail looks like Dr. Jackal from Shaktiman

Wouldnt it be RPM? Why and how do you measure that in FPS?

did you say.. "THAT IS BACON!"

3:45 is the coolest part lol

apples rotat e app le rotato FASTER apple go g O can u fEEl it, a p bpple ? YES FEEL TH E SPED WE HAVE RHAHCED MXAIMUN VELOCIPY

Jumping from old videos to new ones is amusing. This is caveman Gav.

Awesomeee slowmooo!

I'd love to see this done with other objects like a tennis ball, baseball, ping pong ball, golf ball, etc.

There's a gaming channel called massacreman101 and there's a guy named Gavin on it that looks almost just like you. Suspicious.

Actually, you don't need a super-slow-mo shot to estimate the 'nope RPM'. Whenever the apple seems to stop while it's still spinning that means that it's spinning reached the frequency of the light in which we observed it - in this case around 50Hz assuming this was filmed in the US. You can see the first apple seems to stop twice and then spins a little bit more and pops. So it reached a little over 100Hz or 100 revolutions per second, i.e. around 6000 RPM.

The only thing slower than this video is lecture classes

he looks like. shaktiman ka jaickal

So he is the guy from maths textbook buying 100 apples just for this

I never thought the progression from spinning CD to vinyl record would lead to apple

It's crazy how slow it makes his reaction time seem when the apple explodes... looks so delayed with the high speed camera

dislikes must be from apples

started liking Smarter Everyday just because he helps gav

someone please gav's face right after the apple popped into a meme

Nope speed needs to be part of scientific lexicon from now on

Wonder how many air compressors it would take to levitate and do the same thing to a pumpkin ? Curious minds want to know brings new meaning to the phrase" chunking your pumpkin" or in this case if you did it correctly pureeing it

Gav got dat moses beard

Hello jesus

Ping pong ball and hair dryer 👍 It's pretty fun

Sounds like Godzilla

Haha I love how he closed his eyes way after the apple was exploded 😂

2:10 This makes a mockery of our human reaction speed as it seems to take forever for the message to come across that you should blink. xD I also love the term "Nope speed" like the apple at some point just thinks: "That's it, I'm out."

Do it with a tennis ball

Finding the "Nope" rpm of objects never gets old. CD is a classic.

i want to see a competition between different apples and how fast they can spin without blowing up

The nope speed should be a real thing and I hope it is.

:O so neat!

Incredible that it is happening so fast that the apple has cleared the frame before he reacts.

Dan: please cut my apple in half! Gav: 4:10 at 0.25 speed

Waste of apples when there are so many starving people round the world.

Why dose gav look like jesus 😂

These videos look so dope at 120hz and max res. Thank God for my s20

After rewatching this video for the third time, I've just noticed that the apple actually splits perfectly down the stem @4:12. Absolutely mental.

2k vegans disliked this video for fruit cruelty

You guys should try a bale of hay down a hill. something like this:usmuchs.info/call/video/d66AomaplI23bYo.html

Humans are too slow.

After learning about femto-photography I'm wondering what would happen if that tech was used to capture proof of ghosts? People claim to see balls of light so wouldn't it make sense to find a Haunted Location and try to use femto-photography to capture one of these balls of light?

I'd like to see the same thing with an apple dipped into aluminum. How fast do you think it'll spin? :)

After reading the comments. I feel the need to say that I'm pretty sure he says bakin', not bacon

Unfortunately I only buy mutant cube apples so I can't try it.

!!! You have to do a video with Mat from Demolition Ranch. !!!

Iron Sphere Walk: Jesus uses spin on apple Copyright free.

I subscribed in order to support you and special thanks to your good friend Destin on Smarter Every Day. I love the science you explore and the "Slow Motion" capture filming is amazing. Thanks so much and God Bless. Pete

Please! When possible, remake this video: usmuchs.info/call/video/l5iIraWuyny4s6Q.html

Gyro is that you?

Very cool. Thanks.

So how many RPMs was it turning at before tensile failure?

Gav. FYI: The reason you feel as if something in your observations has gone missing is because it has! You flinched. Whenever you blink your eyes or adjust their direction, your brain edits that instant out of your timeline of observations. Personal observation: When I was about 15 and got my first glasses.... It turned out that before that I couldn't observe say anything more precise than say a degree of resolution. So what's the point in blanking out the movement when your eye has arrived at the new position accurate to a degree. Nothing! With the new glasses the vision was a lot better so for a couple of days I'd see the whole world shake and bounce around as my eyes were still "almost" pointing at the new location....

Did he say "baking" or "bacon" ?

Thanks gyro

Get with the "Gun Drummer"(another tuber) to film his drumming and guns.

Cox's ? Superb photography!

Saw Bobby Duke float a screwdriver like this, completely out of context. I guess he saw this video :D

You should do a watermelon next

I wonder what it would look like to spin a globe, like a Christmas ornament, filled with chalk dust or paint.....?

I'm digging the beard you look like thor

HE IS THE MESSIAH

Great experiment and great details are given but just add info about phenomenon in simple words also so people like me can also understand 😂

That was amazing. Even my one year old said "wow" as the apple split.

We need more nope speed videos

Who doesn't know Mutated Cube Apples :D Nice video
