It's hard to explain now. I'm pretty good at pool. What? Who is it? Ben Simmons and who speaks? You know what? I'm not very good at hitting a pool ball hard enough that it hits my mate in the head and makes his eyes like that scene from Tom and Jerry for today I'm going to create a device to make that happen What What? All right? So I've got a couple of made-ups first: I want it to be small enough to fit on the end of a real pull stick and not look that different or suspicious. My piece in the tool holder and started cutting grooves out so it matches the broken part mind I break the Milling bit.

so instead I just drilled a hole in the metal without cutting grooves and put it back in. and now the lathe works again. So after adding the broken Milling bit on top of the Lathe for weight, I finished drilling the hole. Now it's time to cut the part off and I find I get a better result if the part comes off and falls directly into this pile of sharp all up all up.

Mom's Spaghetti Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese yo Coca-Cola yo wait Mom's Spaghetti. that's like all right, a metal pubic hair which is always really fun to dig. Parts Out of all right now comes the Piston which I'm going to make by turning down this piece until it fits into this hole. and I think I've left enough of a rim here to stop the Piston from firing out the air.

So I used a little bit of lubricant and put a thread on the end of it. I Also made a little end cap that will attach to the Piston using the same size thread and because I don't want to damage it I put it in the Vise with my apron wrapped around it, then screwed on this end piece which will be making contact with the ball. Now the whole thing looks like this and moves around. Okay, so before I put the blank round in and give it a test, go, there's something else I need to do and you've already seen the thumbnail and you know that I need to put some exhaust holes in the barrel which will firstly make it look cooler and match the thumbnail.

So we'll also release gas and hopefully stop the Piston from slamming into the end of the barrel too hard. So I just did that on the drill press. and the great thing about why are his thumbnails or mathematical calculations is that I have no idea if these exhaust ports will be large enough or in the right place to stop the whole thing from blowing up. which is why I'm going to test it in this Vice first while I stand behind these very thin plaster wall.

but before I do that. I'm going to tell you about the sponsor of today's video PayPal Honey Great deal! Yeah and Honey came in and saved me ten dollars to really find this thin wall paper. Oh look at this video. What? I hate it when that happened which didn't work.

so I tried a heavier piece of metal which didn't work either. so I tried again if I could survived the whole house vibrate and shot the Piston out at a ridiculous speed. and it also didn't blow up which is amazing as I didn't expect these holes to be big enough to let the gas out, but after looking at the slow motion which only captured a single frame of the round going off, you can see that heaps of gas came back out the top ejecting the round which sounds like a good thing, but when it's on the end of the pool stick, this means it will shoot off the end or just blow up. It also means I'm wasting heaps of gas which could be pushing down the Piston with more.

Force So I drilled some more exhaust holes in the barrel and also put in this tightly spring to hopefully help the Piston survive the extra Force model. Yep and at first I thought they did better as the round was still in the top. but then I realized I couldn't move the piston so after using a hammer to get it out I saw the problem. look at the spring.

oh it's getting stretched. Whoa! it's hitting the inside with such force that it's stretching this bit. Look at that. and lucky for me I Also have my Super Slo-mo camera which records at 60 frames per second and gave me this single frame of information telling me nothing.

my camera is just not recording fast enough. You know if I could have any YouTuber locked up in my attic right now, it would definitely be the slow-mo guys. just so I could understand what is actually happening here. Boys, if you're watching I've even put a chair up there for you and I really should have had some more foreskin.

I mean foresight and knowing that the mild steel would misshape and give out like this. Which now means I need to make the whole thing again using a stronger steel using this stuff here called 2 160 or 5160 or 1300 700 904 I don't remember So I remade the whole device again but this time without any jokes and I also made the Piston much thicker which should now hopefully survive, but in case it doesn't I'm going to skip doing another safety test in the Vise and go straight to testing by hand to see what it does to a pool ball and pull stick. Now to do this: I bought a material called polycarbonate monogamy carbonate. there's many more layers then I just welded up a frame for it and I'm fairly confident this stuff should protect me from the rounds and explosion as it's what the MythBusters used and as far as I'm aware, they ain't dead.

All right, What has that happened? Okay, so I've decided I better add another piece of polycarb and it's now 12 millimeters thick. then I Just cut this neat little hole in the polycarb for the pool stick to go through and I know what you're thinking. What was the point of making this blast proof screen? If you're just going to put a hole in the middle of it, Well, hopefully the pool stick will cover up that hole and I'll also position myself to the side away from the hole and the blast. Okay, next I just cut off the end of a pool stick and drilled down the center and then shoved in the metal pin with a sleeve around it to hold the piston and it's done.

which is annoying because I'm terrified and really don't want to use this. Okay, it's not setting off the round and I think that's because the round is hitting against this flat piece of metal. so I'm going to grind it down on the Belt Sander until I have just a small pin which should hopefully Crush just the end of the round said I'm okay and that worked a little too well and turned the end of a stick into a grenade. That was insane.

A pool stick is destroyed and the outside sleeves. it just blows up and then it's shrapnel, right? And if we do some really bad speed calculations, the camera was crawling at 60 frames per second, and in one frame, the ball traveled roughly 50 centimeters. Which means it's traveling at 30 meters a second or 108 kilometers an hour. which is 70 miles per hour, which is 40 miles faster than the fastest pool break ever.

And that's already one of my arbitrary goals ticked off. So let's move on to the pool game. But first, I need to fix this sleeve and this time I'm going to make it out of thicker metal and also put some exhaust holes so that if the gas comes out of the back, it doesn't explode the stick. This looks pretty cool.

way better than the first version, which means it's time for me to find a pool table. Nice. Nice. Oh Alexa you want to play ball.

So Alexa and I are going to play a game of pool except he has a normal pool stick and I have mine and we'll see who wins. You must be Um and I'll break first. I Hate this I hate this so much far. the horrible sauce.

What happened? Oh no. I Get your friends. Yeah! so I guess you get to break. Okay, that was my first shot.

Okay, so this is because I missed. So it's your shot. Is there bullet on the table? There's bits of everything. There's so many little this thing's shut up.

That was a bad break. It was better. We all saw what happened. and Alexa isn't much better.

at Paul and he lined me up perfectly for a nice soft shot on the purple ball here. Three two one. Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa What did I write the Whiteboard I thought I Guess we continue and at first I had no idea what happened. but after watching the slow motion, you can see that the pool stick chops the white ball in half, sending one of the halves into the striped ball, pushing it in.

Now I wanted to get a lot of power with this build, but I never expected it to be powerful enough to split the white ball clean in half. But I guess it's good because I got one in even though I wasn't aiming for that ball and that means I'm ahead by one ball. which ball did I get I got in? Stripes So that means you've got to get uh, well, you gotta try it. try to hit that.

Okay, but I gotta do it back in there. Yeah, that's right. it's not a big deal, just somewhere on the line anywhere on the line. Yeah, let me just uh, which one you're aiming for I'm trying to get that blue in at the end.

you're better with half a ball than a real ball. And after that Miracle shot from Alexa we were now tied. Was that your ball? Yeah, that's awesome. Wait, give me good shots now.

Okay, so it's my guy, but I'm gonna replace it this ball with that with a real ball and I'm gonna aim for this guy. that's great. Imagine wasting your results on dumb like this. Okay, the ratio of money for entertained person is probably like 80 times higher than like like Hollywood movies and like that.

that's how like what are you talking about? it's entertainment. Okay I sunk one of his balls and I'm realizing I really don't have much control with this thing. It kind of just knocks all the balls in. Yeah, what are you all? What are you lining up for? that red one right there? Okay, whenever you're ready, you suck.

Well this is good for me though because I can get it into here. get another break. Yeah, okay. ready.

Yeah, it's working. and I sunk another one of these balls. So Alex is ahead by two balls. which means I need to sink three in one.

Go to get ahead, you have these. Not wrong sir. Very bad at this game. Still winning.

You are still winning. You are still winning. Everything's bad. As the person you're playing against, I'm kind of scared to do more shots with this because I feel like the more we do the more likely this explodes.

All the police come true. Yeah I'll do one more shot. one more shot. Yeah yeah.

all right. Oh no. You position me perfectly for white into these two. Don't even have to move the screen on over there.

How did it not to hit that top? He's everywhere. That is hilarious so he just rest the camera down there. Yeah so the reason that that one was so hard is that the Pistons finally broke oh my God What? Why don't you I said oh my God and I think that means that's the end of the game. There's a piston expanded again and is now stuck.

and I don't want to remake the whole thing. And also I'm scared the police are going to come so New South Wales police if you are watching this video. those loud bangs you heard they were my car backfiring. Thank you so much for watching.
