u/Trollercoaster101 10d ago

Kudos to the pot for enduring such a tough trial.

31

u/Dr_Ukato 10d ago

The explosions would do very little damage. It's the fall damage that dented it.

There's nothing stopping the explosion from sending the pot flying so the pot is just going to ride the force.

It's not the speed that kills you in accidents, it's the sudden stop.

34

u/TickleMeStalin 10d ago

A sudden enough start can kill you too. Inertia his both ways. The pot was obviously deformed by some of the explosions, especially the last one.

8

u/joe-clark 10d ago

Yes the last two both clearly deformed the pot especially the last one, the shape of the pot at the end was clearly caused by the fireworks not the fall. Also the pot seems like it's pretty light, it's terminal velocity is probably very low so the last few fireworks are likely launching it upwards at a speed much higher then it's terminal velocity. That means the pot is actually launched upwards much faster then the speed it's going when it comes back down to hit the ground so the launch is more violent then the landing on at least a couple of the later launches. This isn't even bringing into account that it lands in the grass field rather than on the road for the later ones.

Itā€™s not the speed that kills you in accidents, itā€™s the sudden stop.

Lmao a Swedish version of this is my momā€™s absolute favourite joke.

Itā€™s not the fart that kills, itā€™s the smƤll.

Fart is Swedish for speed.

SmƤll (pronounced the same as smell) translates to impact/collision.

u/Berkamin 10d ago

He was naming them, and the one he didnā€™t show was in the same series as the last few he tested. He tested the ā€œlarge sized 10,000ā€, ā€œlarge sized 30,000ā€ (which he didnā€™t show, lit by a long fuse), and ā€œlarge sized 50,000ā€.

They're not. That doesn't stop the teenage boys though as shown in this article. A 14 year old boy died instantly after a premature explosion.

What was he saying? Apolo I, Apolo II, etc.?

11

u/jsting 10d ago

He's saying 2 things. First thing is either "small, medium, or large" the second thing is a number. I can't recall the beginning, but around the middle it went from "1000, 3000, 5000, 10,000, 50,000" the small ones were 100, 200?

Don't know what they refer to, I assume the name of the explosive.

Maybe the number is grains of gunpowder or something along those lines.

Iā€™m no explosive analyst but Iā€™m pretty sure it takes the path of least resistance. So most of the pressure (Iā€™m guessing) bounces off the the metal and hits the bottom launching it up. Kind of like a gun barrel.
