I made a baseball bat that uses explosives to add a bunch of energy to your swing and hit a baseball really far. It uses the explosive blanks normally used to shoot nails into concrete (e.g. ramset). It worked way better than I expected, didn't have a kick, and turned out to be just a really neat thing to look at while sipping a frosty beverage. I also made a video about it if you're interested: https://youtu.be/Puo6Vgcbxps https://youtu.be/Puo6Vgcbxps
- cocoflunchy 3y agoIs that your favorite project so far? Too many to pick from!
- swighton 3y agoIt's definitely my favorite
- y-curious 3y agoHi Shane, I'm always fangirling when I see you on HN. Much love and keep making the content I love!
- zefhous 3y agoAs explosive as the bat was, I feel like the most explosive thing you’ll ever make is your YouTube channel. One of very few instant-subs for me.
- 93po 3y agoLove your content!
- stefanvdw1 3y agoLove your videos, already excited for the next one!
- samwillis 3y agoLove your content, really looking forward to your next video!
- asdfman123 3y agoI love your channel, keep posting the good stuff.
- zachthewf 3y agoYour channel and engineering skills are amazing. I've showed the series of increasingly awesome basketball videos to so many people.
- nataz 3y agoGreat channel. You had me as a subscriber after your pool stick video. Cool to see you post on hn.
- javajosh 3y agoI'm honestly a little jealous that you've managed to carve out a niche where you get to imagine and built insane/cool stuff. A dream come true! Congrats and great channel.
- endgame 3y agoI shouldn't be surprised that you post here. Your channel is amazing and inspiring, and I love that you dive into your failures and dead-ends, and hide little background gags on the monitors. And the pranks and roasts between you and your wife are so much fun to watch - you're a lucky man.
- jmatthews 3y agoFan of the channel.
- alexitosrv 3y agoFull AC of yours!!
- stewartjarod 3y agoLove your channel
- csaha 3y agoI love your videos! Not just because of your incredible command of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and programming. The thing I think you do so well is you take a statement like a little kid would make- I want to only hit home runs or, I want to sink a basket every time. And then you break down the problem and solve it. It's incredibly inspirational! My girlfriend's son was struggling in school with math and science and he just didn't see how they could be cool or why they were important or something. I showed in the videos from your channel and it was so incredible where I was like hey look. Here's something that seems like total fantasy or like something like a six-year-old would say, but look with science and engineering you can make it happen. Anyway, thank you very much Shane for what you do and how are you inspire people
- yobityte 3y agoYou're hands down my favourite creator. You come up with such brilliant solutions. It's really inspiring to watch.
- paindiverson 3y agoLove your channel, it has been a true inspiration!
- steezeburger 3y agoOh wow, it's you! Your videos are super inspiring. Keep on making!
- valtism 3y agoYour productivity absolutely phenomenal. Each video that comes out seems like you make what would take a normal person a good part of a year to produce in a fraction of the time.
- Perepiska 3y agoI bet there is a person who is constantly adding engine to bike :)
- Paul-Craft 3y agoI've gotta say, I appreciated how you spent literally 75% of the video explaining all your safety precautions and how they all helped you avoid death, dismemberment, or disfigurement.
- q-base 3y agoOkay this is cool as hell! I love the amount of practical engineering that went into this. You have earned yourself a new subscriber.
- randomcarbloke 3y agoOh hey I made a jigsaw your robot can't solve
- whatsthenews 3y agoLOVE your videos, looking forward to the next one
- 3guk 3y agoJust wanted to add - I absolutely love watching your videos, thanks so much for all of the effort you put in !
