I've had an idea for a super powerful disc golf gauntlet stuck in my head. I finally made it. It was hard.

That baseball bat record could work if he loses the cartridges and fills the bat with psi. It would simplify design allowing greater forces
My suggestion for version 2 is to wrap a wire or band around the outside edge of the disk and articulate the throwing arm to pivot similar to a person who bends their arm at the elbow and wrist . When launching, extend the arm and wrist . Along with the band, the release will give a good spin to the disk .
fake I did a thing
Your videos cheer me up! Thank u for inspiring me!
Hey man - would love to see a video talking about what you studied in school (major) - where you studied - what you thought of it - what you think the most important thing is that you did that made you capable of doing these types of things
I’m glad it took a machine to beat my record 😄 awesome video!
@daveeth he needs some milk...
Congrats on your record!
Ur still the best human at it so.. it meanless
Gotta love how he said Simon's last name like he's Italian or something lol. Lizotté
disc golfers have dreamed about this machine to test discs
That's a really complicated and impressive clay pigeon launcher you've got there.
@Grant Huffman Ceramics act completely differently than plastic. Most of the launch system would be incompatible. Plus, this is a DIY channel, a pre-made solution would be boring
Wait couldn't just have used a skeet launcher
20:38 I think that might be the most important plywood shield you've ever set up
I'm so glad he keeps having his wife on the show. She's so funny.
None oh his videos have less than 5 millions views. His content quality is outstanding. This guy is dangerously genius. He's the most complete engineer i've ever seen on my ITmores watch history
Yeah he is one of the best. Check out DIY Perks, he’s also great
@Tsunami Tube I’m a huge fan of Colin but his engineering is sub par compared to this channel
complete is a good way of putting it. his breadth of knowledge is insane
Colin Furze enters the chat 🤔
8 weeks just for the amazing project? And how long for the video? 28+ min and not a single second of boring content. I'd guess another 100 hours, fantastic!
Can’t agree more ! Only person I’m subscribed too that I watch every single second !
Agreed !!
@Rémi Duval Roy thanks for recognizing how cool I am. I know it's not sarcasm from you either. Maybe one day you can be as cool as Colin F. and I.
@Kelvin Jlet me introduce you to Mark Rober
@Kelvin J must be adopted
Release the discs on an extreme hyzer angle so the can flip to flat or “flex” and then fade back! Amazing video!!
exaclty what i was thinking.
@Brian Schuh a disc flips due too lack of spin relative to the speed it is thrown.
@John Mickey If it didn't have spin it wouldn't have turned over.
Only if it had good spin too. Without gyroscopic force it won’t correct its angle.
i think with this, we're one step closer to having those classic bionicle disc launchers for real people. what a world we live in
You should tilt it a bit more towards the ground (to the left). It naturally wants to tilt to the right, so it will stabilize in the air and go further before tilting to the right. I know that from personal experience but I don't know if it will apply to the speed you're using. Great video btw, can't wait for more!
You seem to put way more time and effort into these videos than others I've seen in the past, but it really seems to pay off. It may be over-engineered but the results speak for themselves. If one of your machines killed you you'd die doing what you love and that's the magic
A rotational railgun mechanism for this might also be worth a try. May launch at the speed of sound, may tear itself to pieces. Either way, it would be fun to watch.
@Kamaal Walker Honestly, quite depends on how you criticize. If you go along the line of "Meh this sucks because you didn't do what I wanted you to do" or as in this case "He DiDn'T iNvEnT sOmEtHiNg NeW!!11" one should simply stfu. :)
@Kamaal Walker as much as I agree, I don't see where they (the person I responded to) were criticising either, rather they had made a statement instead,
@Nick Worrell That's a cool thought, though you might be interested to know there's better methods than the Kriss system. It uses a weight guided through a channel by the force of firing, transferring the kinetic energy of that weight downwards when it hits the end of the channel. Something that has worked better in guns and might work better here, would simply be a very well balanced buffer spring to spread the kinetic energy transfer of the arm over a longer duration of time.
A gauss sling! This is exactly what all our scientific accomplishments were leading to.
Hmm, my thinking, a railgun mechanism coupled with what the criss super v .45 weapon technology with it's recoil technology would be an ideal start.
"This disk IS regulation" "This part is too big to fail" "... which is a perfect use for this valve that I thought was useless" Gold! Pure gold!
10:17 I would have thought it would be a lot easier if your rotating elements are T-shaped instead of L-shaped. That way you can adjust each side at will instead of trying to discard the bottom element.
I love how everything about engineering is about coming up with an idea, making a super rough prototype, and then slowely but surely and with a lot of faults and problems along the way progressively working out the kinks. From a nuclear aircraft carrier to the James Webb telescope to an arm mounted disc thrower, they all came to be in this way.
The discs need to be released on a steep hyzer. Then when they turn, it will be to horizontal instead of turning into rollers
@toni liimatainen anhyzer bush lol
It looked like it was set to anhyzer angle. I would like to see if this thing can make discmania tilt to hold that anhyzer.
He really should have teamed up with a disc golf engineer for this. If he got together with the guys at Latitude 64, innova, or Discraft etc. then this could really go somewhere.
This is also what I was hoping to see! @stuffmadehere did you release any with hyzer angle?
This was really fascinating to see all the variations and problems and engineer has to overcome! Great work!!
He, like myself, is the rarity, a machinist moonlighting as an engineer or vice-versa/either-or/Ying-Yang... (waddle waddle bing bang). I tinker, limited resources equte to limited tinkering, sadly.

19:56 Imagine if he broke the record on this throw.
I really enjoy how you detail the design process including the numerous failures and redesigns. Great channel, subbed!
Did you consider a fly wheel for your energy storage with a clutch system to engage the release of that stored energy?
Man, you bring it on every. Single. Video. Definitely something to strive for on my own projects. Keep it up!
I’m still waiting for you to program an oncology (tumor zapping) microwave to perfectly reheat a slice of apple pie evenly - instead of making it very hot at the tip and cold at the crust.
Sounds much more like a Styro Pyro video! Suggest this and hell probably do it.
The diffuser type oven, as opposed to the turntable type, heat much more evenly. Commercial microwaves have that feature, and so did domestic ones a really long time ago before the world was driven by cost cutting.
@Brian Bethea I usually do 60% or 70% at 1.5x instead of 40% at 2.5x, it works pretty well for me.
@Kodi Namsinh (Student FVHS) oh wow. I didn't even notice until you said that lol
@Kodi Namsinh (Student FVHS) Tay is surprisingly active, at least around the science/space/engineering side of ITmores
“I don’t have the right tool🙄” makes it in 10 minutes and gets back to work😂 Crazy impressive stuff you got here, keep up the great work
Not 10 mins. That’s the magic of editing
So inspiring. Thanks for the hard work and dedication! Gives me confidence to fix my broken towel rack 😄
Love all your videos after I watch an episode I can’t wait til the next one comes out…so much better than every other content maker!!!!! By 1 million percent!!!!!
I can't help but think you've made a clay pigeon disc launcher, but this is way cooler. I love the level of detail you went too!
This project is outstanding! Well done! 👏😌 Love your saying “the journey is the destination”.
in Germany we also use the saying. it's "der Weg ist das Ziel" in our language. i think it's a great quote to live by
This saying should be a shirt at the shop.
Yeah he that launcher is amazing and i also love that saying.
Hi! Nice to see you here
Great video as always! What program do you use for your animations? I’d love to use something like this at work.
Just found your channel for the first time, and what an amazing video! I plan on enjoying your previous videos for a wile. I'm sure it's classified information, but I'm still really curious how much all those materials roughly cost you to be able to create this monster. Thanks again for such an incredible video.
Watching you react to catastrophic failures with minor to extreme bewilderment is actually just the definition of comedy for me.
Amazing video. You put so much effort and time into your videos it's inspiring. You deserve to be in the position you're in!
21:52 my god that looks dangerous, Shane. The best way to avoid personal injury is to let someone else do it . We need more videos, don't get injured!
safety first
Sadly the Wife said no though so..
Or at least a gorget.
I enjoy watching all the different iterations you made of the launcher. Understanding the different reasons for it to fail entices me to want to learn physics.
😳 HOW have I missed THIS kook till now?!! He’s WAY up there instantly on my power-rankings chart! 👏👏🤘🤘
I love that he starts at 8% power like a My Hero Academia character
Feeling pretty good about myself... when the arm broke around 16 minutes I was like "OOHHH dry fire, that hurts, the acceleration squished the disk and let it escape" and...yep. gforce. Gotta love it. If you want a simpler release use a top/bottom holder that holds it using an electromagnet, so when the magnet turns off it releases. Easier to control with programming too.
“That’s the basic design” *shows a very complex design
“Humans are crazy, and we’re not going to be making a hand”…. Proceeds to make a hand
@----- Criisis that's a low blow 😭😆 Love you guys tho Dan and Mitchel keep them epoxy burgers coming
@----- yikes
Yeah, he should have just soaked some food in epoxy & called it content...
Thanks for the video. quick question though, why not put the counter weight on the same plane negating the torque on your arm?
This is an awesome video! Thank you for showing us what you can do! And building scary stuff that we don’t have the tools for!
Amazing idea! Would love to see a disc launcher that can throw further than Eagle McMahon.
Your videos are awesome. Thanks so much for making this.
Every time you release a video, I breath a sigh of relief. “Okay, he’s still alive. Now, let’s see what almost killed him!”
When he decided to put it on his arm, my immediate thought was "I hope he's very close to a hospital".
@Interest lmao
@Alumin styropyro
ElectroBoom??
Your content is pure gold. Thank you for being one of the best ITmores channels that keep me coming back for more.
What do you think about an apparatus, that can launch something REALLY high up in the air. Something like a catapult on steroids but with an unbelievable amount of power. You could launch a device that can measure the height.
I can't wait to see how you improve this it is a amazing feat of engineering
I've now watched every video you have and crave more.. if I wasn't homeless and broke, I would support you on patreon so fast! Keep up the great work 💖
I like how you make a socket to remove the valve from the gas cylinder. A very small part of the video, but I appreciated it.
Hi Destin!
I'm not all the way through yet, but that was easily my fav flex i've seen in a while
You should do a video explaining why the fastest disc thrown is only 89 mph but a baseball can be thrown at 100+
I'd been waiting on you to make this video, Destin, so imagine my surprise when I find it, and here you are.
