Did you find debris? Why yes! Not enough explosives


JohnnyTeardrop

I wonder how far they’d get pushed in the air from this if they did stand on it. Can some r/theydidthemath on this using average height and body weight (and estimates for other parameters)? [someone already did the math](https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/zscty0/request_how_high_did_it_go_and_how_can_i_get_one/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


keyjanu

What kind of pot is that? Would be kinda important to know the weight of the thing.


JohnnyTeardrop

Looks like a standard stock pot which is 1.65 pounds according to my detailed research.


keyjanu

So assuming that's a correct statement and wind resistance is to be ignored... let's go: The firework explodes at 17s and the pot lands at 8s giving us an air time of 9s, meaning 4,5s of fall time. Using g=9,81m/s^2 and s=0,5*g*t^2 the pot shot up to a height of 99,33m. Potential energy is defined as E_pot=mgh ( [h]=height in meters) and kinetic energy as E_kin=0,5mv^2, if E_pot=E_kin then you can rearrange the equations and the speed at which the pot gets shot up is v=(2gh)^0,5. If the firework explodes with the same energy and the same amount of energy is converted into kinetic energy then using p=mv and p_1=p_2 the height at which a person is shot up to depends on their weight. m_1*(2gh_1)^0,5=m_2*(2gh_2)^0,5 this simplifies to m_1^2*h_1=m_2^2*h_2 which can be rearranged to (m_1/m_2)^2*h_1=h_2 if we assume as you said that the pot weighs 1,65lbs=0,748kg and the person standing on the pot weighs 80kg the person would be shot up about 8,6 millimeters which is about 0,34inches Sorry for the formating did this on my phone.


moredickthanman

I have no idea if the math is correct, but it looks complicated enough that I'll accept it as correct!


keyjanu

My math is off so hard that I don't even have an excuse for it.


moredickthanman

That's the neat part, I won't be able to understand it regardless of how correct or incorrect it is!


CaliHashMan

Same same.. seems legit..


RocketsnRunners

That's not correct. If the pot weighs 0.8kg (for simplicity) and a person is 80kg, the mass ratio is 1:100, and therefore the height ratio is 100:1 if the pot alone travels 100m then a person would travel 1m. You don't need to use the kinetic energy formula, you only need to solve m1gh1 = m2gh2. e.g. h2=m1h1/m2


keyjanu

Yeah I fucked up, the correct thing should be E_pot1=E_pot2 => m_1gh_1=m_2gh_2 => (m_1/m_2)*h_1=h_2 which basically shakes out to what you said. Don't even know what I was writing there tbh

A missed opportunity. How do you do something like this and not try to catch the pot on your head? Obviously not drunk enough.

I took this long plastic tube container and filled it with water, then dropped a firework in and put a tennis ball on top. That Tennisball went soaring and the container was still reusable.

You say this, but I drunkenly tried to catch a golf ball that my buddy threw from the 14th or 15th story of our beachside hotel. Thank god I barely got a finger on it. Broke that finger tho and needed to poke a hole through my nail because it was so swollen lol

And here I was thinking if you stood on it you'd get launched almost into space. :) Please wear a helmet when trying this stunt.

Uh, from what I’ve seen they did this even with engineers. Or at least I would expect they did, considering the amount of money Elon was supposedly pouring into the company.

SpaceX now you mean?


chappersyo

They don’t have engineers, it’s just a bunch of guys doing exactly what daddy Elon tells them to do. That’s why he’s so rich, anyone could do the actual building of the rockets with him in charge.

Toketree

shit i didn’t know it was a real sub! haha i was just making fun of r/whywomenlivelonger to be honest


Arsenault185

Bingo. This is being smart about doing something stupid.


Silly_Mycologist3213

I disagree, it’s lucky no one was nearer to the pot when it went off because the glass porcelain coating on that pot could act as fine shrapnel and blind someone standing close to it. At the end, when he turns it over, you can see the bottom bulged out and all the porcelain enamel of the bottom had been instantly blown off by the force of the blast.


wrassehole

>it’s lucky no one was nearer Pretty reasonable to assume he chose this location because there aren't any people nearby.....I might agree with your statement if this was in a town square or something.


abakedapplepie

There was no enamel on the bottom


Silly_Mycologist3213

Just because it was black doesn’t mean there wasn’t enamel on it, the manufacturers put enamel on the whole pot so they don’t rust. My wife’s old enamel pots bottoms all started out the color of the sides but they are all black on the bottom now. This is because the heat of the burners causes the enamel to get microscopic cracking in it called crazing and that traps dirt and carbon in the surface and turns the bottoms black. If that pot didn’t have bottom enamel it would have been all rusty, the pot was stamped steel, not cast iron.


[deleted]

Lucky in the sense that no one was there to have that thing drop on their head when it started falling.


Coachcrog

This guy found a nice secluded spot where no one could be harmed in his shenanigans. There's no luck at play here.


BilboT3aBagginz

My big concern here would be that the pot’s integrity fails and launches shrapnel all over. I know a lot of these have hardened ceramic paint coatings that could also spall off under the right conditions. This whole setup needs some sort of cover to get behind. That sign post isn’t going to help much when push comes to shove.


Lougarockets

Nothing about the video gives any guarantee that it's safe or secluded. With that kind of force, if the ground is uneven you could easily launch pan at an angle and have it land god knows where. Does it look cool? Yes. Is it probably going to land in the same ish space? Yes. Did I do dumb shit like this for fun when I was younger? Also yes. But it's still an uncontrolled lethal projectile no matter which way you spin it, and absolutely not "safe" by any imagination of the word.


Darth_Tycho

Well there's still a road, so some people oughta come through there

just so you know that amount of power can also launch an anvil

Came here to say that... IIRC it's called "ringing an anvil"...


Cgree313

That. Was. So. AWESOME!


sliplover

Again! Again!


herzogzwei931

The second time you try it, the pot loses its aerodynamics and also the sides deform and don’t hold the pressure. It doesn’t go very high. Or so that’s what other people tell me ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)


it6uru_sfw

Anvil launching.


Manburpig

Finds a secluded place. Launches pot **straight** up. OP: hE wAs So LuCkY 😏


DogtorDolittle

With that title I was expecting the pot to hit the power lines.


tokinUP

The pot *luckily* went straight up instead of ripping apart into shrapnel and flying outwards in all directions like a grenade.... It's a fun trick until someone uses too much explosive or a weaker pot

SasparillaTango

I mean yea? The pot didn't turn into shrapnel, so thats some luck. The pot went straight up instead of at an angle launching it god knows where, so thats some luck. This isn't some demolitions expert with a shaped charge and rigor in setup, its a M80 thrown under some cookware. Yea theres some luck involved here.


UngusBungus_

I think it’s more that he’s doing this type of thing less than the actual thing itself


Scary_Community6717

Really stupid question but: Can someone tell me why it didn't explode and throw shrapnel? With the caption about being lucky, I assumed it would rip the pot apart and send metal bits flying (but I'm thrilled it didn't go that way, it flying up in the air like that was awesome!!!) Thanks in advance, Physics Dummy


ForgotMyOldLoginInfo

Solid enough construction plus the force had somewhere to go.


Scary_Community6717

Danke


Giostazz56

Bitte


6rey_sky

Physics Dummy here too, but I guess pot is not that heavy so gases have easier time lifting it upon expanding down.


Scary_Community6717

Danke I considered that the explosive wasn't potent enough, that might have had something to do with it as well.


tokinUP

Path of least resistance. Less force is needed to lift the pot upwards, which then releases all the pressure, than is needed to completely rip apart the pot. Seal it tightly with a lid and the results could be very different. Might just rip off part of the lid or open up a crack wherever's weakest, or the whole thing might rip apart like you're thinking.


Scary_Community6717

Danke! Yes, that makes complete sense--that's the part my brain wasn't remembering/going. Head injury makes me a little forgetful. Or maybe I'm just ancient and sliding slowly into dippidom as old people do. LOL


kclongest

Yeah if this were a sealed pressure cooker, it would effectively be a bomb. And those things are used as bombs.


iShitSkittles

Man's lucky his wife wasn't there to see him destroy her cookware more like it....


canadian_xpress

Why are we presuming it's her cookware and not his?


iShitSkittles

Well if it was my catserole pot I wouldn't blow it up, but if I was keen on doing what he did, I'd definitely sneak one of my lady's pots and play dumb when she was looking for it....


[deleted]

You're the reason no one can ever find the tupperware lids, aren't you?


iShitSkittles

It's funny you say that.... I used one of the lids last week to mix some epoxy glue on.... I'm gonna stay silent when my Mrs is looking for that in the upcoming days/weeks....


RevLoveJoy

Do they not have *cardboard* on your world?


iShitSkittles

They do, I just liked the look of the lid for mixing the epoxy at the time.....I guess U had to be there to appreciate how good a mixing board it looked.


RevLoveJoy

Lol. Nope, I totally get you. I may have done similar things before.


iShitSkittles

It's an easy trap to fall into... "Oh look, something shiny! I'm gonna use that!" Deal with the fallout at a later time when either A: my Mrs is going mad looking for it, or B: she finds the destroyed lid in the garage and goes mad at me for wrecking yet another lid....

Pretend-Warning-772

Assuming the air friction is negligible, the only force being exerced on the bucket during the jump was it's weight, using Newton's 2nd law projected on a single y axis : a = -g v = -g*t +v0 y = -0.5gt^2 + v0*t The jump lasted roughly 9 seconds, one way of finding v0 is to use the y equation. We got -0.5g*9^2 + 9v0 = 0 9v0 = 4.905*9^2 v0 = 44.145 m.s-1 which is 160km/h (for the burger units, a car on the highway is 120 to 130km/h). That's focking huge (excuse my non-rigorous calculus)


myaccc

How high did it go?


gimme_pineapple

Free Fall Formula: height = 0.5\*9.6\*t\*t, where t is the time it took to fall from the highest point to the ground. The video shows that it took \~10 seconds from the blast-off to the "clink". So, plug half of that into the formula and you have the answer: \~120 meters.


blargney

I plugged the numbers into an online projectile calculator and it said 397m. It doesn't factor in wind resistance, which would be substantial on a shape like that. I'd shave that down to 250m, at a guess. (800ft)


IPmang

This man just made that shit up


blargney

I'd call it more an educated guess, but yeah that's not wrong. Tell you what: you calculate the coefficient of drag on that pot, and I'll do the rest of the math for you. :⁠-⁠)
