Wow it works
hey guys welcome back I’m grant Thompson
the king of random and this is Nate hey
guys what’s up we’re pretty excited for
the opportunity to team up with
Nickelodeon in this video to recreate an
element from their show rusty rivets if
you haven’t heard of rusty rivets by now
he’s a young hero that uses his
imagination and resourcefulness
to save the day when the need arises in
Nickelodeon’s new show rusty invents his
way out of every problem by repurposing
spare parts into the wildest coolest and
most awesome contraptions ever and a lot
of them have been turned into toys so if
your kids are makers experimenters or
rusty rivets fans then head down to your
local Toys R Us and get something to
keep their hands and minds busy because
Toys R Us is the only place that carries
the official line of the rusty rivets
collection so we watched part of the
show and for this video we’re going to
try recreating one of Rusty’s inventions
but on a much larger scale and to help
us test it out we’ve got Stuart edge
with us today dressing up and stormy the
streets like a monkey on the loose
tell Bo’s answer this challenge from
Nickelodeon to make a launcher that
flings bananas in one of the episodes
rusty saves the city from monkeys on the
loose by creating a launcher that shoots
bananas to lure them back to the safety
of the zoo we wanted to see if we could
replicate something similar in real life
but bananas are a really awkward shape
and not really designed to be shot out
of launchers so that just means we have
to get really creative
now we spent a lot of time trying to
figure out ways to make them banana
successfully fire from a launcher but
the laws of physics just generally
aren’t in our favor bananas by nature
are curved which means they don’t fit
very well down a straight barrel they’re
also pretty flimsy so if they’re shot
with any type of force they turn to mush
so true to the spirit of rusty rivets we
have tapped our imaginations use a
little teamwork and come up with a
launcher that we believe will actually
shoot bananas for this project we’re
using PVC pipes a sprinkler valve some
heavy-duty springs and a bit of proto
putty this is all going to come together
pretty quickly but don’t worry because
we’ll explain how everything works when
we get it together
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we’ve got all of our PVC and ABS pieces
cut for our blaster and we’re thinking
it might be a good idea just to paint
them now to save us the trouble down the
road
[Music]
[Music]
the good news guys will get all of our
pieces cut to size we got them painted
and that paint is gonna take a few
minutes to cure and while that paint is
drying we’re gonna be making our proto
cutty plug the whole idea behind the
proto putty is so we have something that
pushes the banana out of the cannon but
then we retract back into place so I’ve
cut off a little piece of the four inch
PVC we’re gonna build the proto putty in
there and we’re gonna use the end piece
of a two inch PVC cap as well as an eye
bolt to secure the proto putty to a
really thick rope there’s gonna be a lot
of force acting on this and we don’t
want this thing ripping apart I forgot
to mention we’re going to be using two
tubes of silicone number one
[Music]
so we got all of our proto play packed
down at setting now it’s gonna take
about 10 to 20 minutes before we can
actually take it out and use it and
while that’s curing we’re gonna take
some of this rope and build the internal
mechanisms for our banana launcher we
picked this rope up from the hardware
store and we got the thick stuff because
anything thinner will snap it’s in the
paracord section it’s the thicker stuff
and it’s got a working load in the
hundreds of pounds we’re gonna start by
cutting off a six-foot length of rope
and tying the ends together to make a
loop
with our knot tied in the end secured
we’re gonna slip it into this metal clip
that we’re gonna run down through this
ABS adapter and secure it to a thick
metal eye bolt fastened on the inside
okay so now this is going to go through
the inside its parts tricky there we go
at this point we’ve got pretty much
everything ready to go so let’s clean up
the proto putty and put everything
together
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so here we have a guys the moment we’ve
been waiting for it the cannon is
finished painted and fully assembled and
ready to test out we grabbed some red
buckets and decorated them with craft
foam and filled them up with bananas so
now they look just like the real rusty
rivets thing let’s go find Stuart edge
dress them up a monkey costume and go
bananas
[Music]
alright time for a test launch launching
in three huh well that’s not strong
enough what if we turn it up to full
power yeah that should do it
[Music]
maybe we should keep it on medium power
good idea looks like we’re in business
let’s rock
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and now introducing the man the myth the
monkey Stuart edge
pika ready
Wow check it now what it landed it just
like busted the side out that is stuck
in there oh wow that is a powerful
banana holy heck oh we might be using a
little bit too much power I think we’re
gonna have to turn it down a bit
Oh
[Music]
[Music]
whoo
[Music]
okay here we go
[Music]
so update guys but nano launcher is an
epic success and apparently depending on
the pressure we put into the Canon we
can lop bananas a very short distance or
we can launch them an epic distance what
I’m really impressed about from this
experience is how Stewart was able to
catch Pintas every single time without
fail we should probably make this a
sport I think so for one big finish I
was just thinking what if we pack this
sink full of ice cream and shot out a
banana split
I saw a rush to do it so that probably
means we should
[Music]
[Music]
it’s Apple over your face
oh the majority of it though flu against
the wall let’s go see that real quick
yes true to the episode the banana split
does make an epic mess that was crazy
look at this this is insane that flu
literally like a hundred feet that’s
great you’re sweating ice cream yeah so
there you have it guys it’s the rusty
rivets banana launcher in real life and
even though it’s not super practical to
shoot bananas it’ll launch anything else
that you can shove down the barrel huge
thanks to Nickelodeon and Toys R Us for
helping make this video happen
remember Toys R Us has the official line
of all the rusty Rufus toys and they’re
the only place that you can get them we
got the links and the information for
you down in the description go check it
out go check it out hey thanks so much
for joining us for this video guys we’ll
be looking for you the next one talk to
you that it works it works oh wow okay
it’s a weird dry feeling texture PD cut
no yeah that except I think I prefer an
actual cotton ball
