Can a 25LB Ninja Stress Ball Survive this Fall?


today we’re gonna see what happens when
we take our design for ninja balls and
scale them up to much larger balloons
holding ten pounds of flour at once and
then we might see what happens if we
drop that 10-pound flour balloon off of
a tall roof these flower filled balloons
are what we call ninja balls or stress
balls they’re fun because they have some
good resistance when you squeeze them
they kind of keep their shape after they
flatten them out a little bit and
overall there’s a lot of things you can
do with them they work as stress balls
they’re great for juggling or we’ve
shown you how you can attach parachutes
onto them check them up in the sky and
have them float gently down well today
we wanted to see what happens if we
scaled that up not too long ago we
showed you how to build this sort of
reverse vacuum chamber it’s literally a
vacuum chamber you attach a vacuum
cleaner on to but with a balloon
stretched around the mouth here at the
top and when you do that it inflates the
balloon from the outside well while I
was doing that I thought what else could
we fill one of these large balloons with
other than a shark with a laser on its
head I thought it’d be cool to see if we
could make one of our ninja balls but
out of much bigger balloons here’s the
basic idea we’ll stretch our balloon
open fill it up with ten pounds of flour
and then add two more layers of balloon
on top of that
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
our balloon is now completely stretched
inside the bucket it’s reaching every
single edge nook and cranny now we’ve
got this giant wide nozzle and we can
pour in our 10 pounds of flour the flour
is in there now we’re gonna take the
balloon off of this opening and all the
air is gonna run out and it’s gonna
start spraying flour in the air like
that this point the balloon it has a
little bit of air in it it’s squishing
the flour and the flour itself has a lot
of air in it it was kind of well packed
when I was in the bag but as I poured it
out it got a lot of air introduced into
it so we have very fluffy flower in our
balloon right now and the balloon
squeezing is actually enough to try and
push some of that flour out so you can
see if I just let go it sort of starts
bubbling out the top what we need to do
is compact this flower back down and to
do that we’re basically just going to
take it out and squish it around for a
while and I’m going to get over it in
flour today
there we go I am tying knot in this
balloon one giant balloon full of flower
now the goal is to cover it in more
balloons and to do that we’re gonna
follow the same strategy that we did
with our little ninja balls and we’re
gonna cut the neck off of a balloon and
try and stretch it over what we’ve
already got you first I’m going to try
and wash it off so it’s not so slippery
so the balloon sticks to it a little
better
this part can get a little bit tricky
because I need this balloon to stretch
enough to fit over the balloon that’s
full flower but I don’t want it to tear
and I want it to stay closed enough that
after its wrapped around this balloon it
doesn’t just slide right off
hey our balloon actually did tear a
little bit fitting on there so now it
looks like bloom wearing pants that are
too tight for it now let’s take a swim
meet
[Music]
hello there there we go needs its ninja
keep wiping the balloon off because
there’s flour all over the table and
when there’s too much flour the balloons
don’t like to stick to each other the
different layers don’t so I try and
apply a piece of balloon over another
balloon and it just sort of slides right
off all right I’d say now we have a
giant ninja ball or maybe a
regular-sized Yoshi egg it might not be
quite as good for relieving stress as
the regular size you can’t just hold it
in one hand and squish it and frankly I
had this in my office I’ve be terrified
of popping it and getting so much flour
that a professional cleaning crew needed
to come in I have a fairly tall building
that I’m allowed to throw stuff off of
at least for now
they may kick me out after I try this
but I’m gonna throw this off and see if
it explodes on the ground we’ve now come
to a location where I can take this
10-pound flower filled Yoshi egg balloon
and drop it off the roof should be good
[Music]
[Applause]
all right here we go giant balloon Yoshi
egg ten pounds of flour wrapped in
balloons let’s see what happens when
this hits the ground from about 25 feet
up right open oh that’s great well the
outside layer of balloon ripped a little
more power I need to throw it harder all
right I thought this was gonna tear
right open but apparently that’s not
what it wanted to do we we’ve lost our
outer shell a little bit our balloon
ninja mask has suffered but the rest of
it seems to be doing okay
so I’m gonna take it up and we just
gonna throw it down see if I can get it
to tear open like that attempt number
two this time with more force three two
one oh my goodness
I had no idea three balloons would have
that kind of strength behind it all
right I have an idea back when we were
filling these up I thought ten pounds of
flour that’s pretty good in a balloon
but what would be even better would be
25 pounds of flour so I put a balloon in
that bucket and filled it all the way up
it’s actually more like 23 and a half
pounds of flour but we’re gonna try that
one now all right see if we can get this
balloon out of the bucket intact it’s
kind of bucket shaped there’s only one
layer of balloon on this so this doesn’t
pop I’m amazed at the strength of
yeah as it I was looking for well it
didn’t work on the first couple of tries
with the smaller balloon but the bigger
one was 25 pounds of flour in it that
exploded beautifully that was great I
just like dropping exploding things off
of tall buildings and now I have a
regular-sized ninja ball and we’re gonna
see what happens if it lands in the
flour pretty much what I expected I do
have one more of the 10-pound ones I
made this before it doesn’t have its
ninja wrapping around it but I think
it’ll probably look really cool landing
in the giant pile of flour is the size
of me head here goes that did look cool
landing in the giant pile flour
who needs anything else you could be
doing with giant 10-pound balloons of
flour that are surprisingly resistant to
damage ten pounds of flour inside three
layers of balloon a lot tougher than I
thought it was gonna be I thought I’m
just gonna tear right open this is not
like nice smooth ground either there’s
gravel and sand and screws and nails and
stuff on it thought I’d shred open it
did not fortunately we had our 25 pound
Big Bertha that exploded beautifully
just that I was hoping to see and it
also looked really cool dropping the
10-pound ball on to the flower felt like
a secondary explosion out of that very
fun stuff let us know what else you’d
like to see us do with these or maybe
some other things you’d like to see us
guys the fun doesn’t end here there’s
more for you see the box at the top of
transfer you directly to our last video
you can go check that out the box in the
bottom will show you that YouTube thinks
you can be watching next they’ve hit
this ball in the middle you will be
subscribed to our channel and that way
you’ll never miss out on a cool video
don’t forget to ring that Bell and we
will see you in the next one talk to you then
