I needed to find out if my explosive bat would make a good golf club, wood splitter, and how much it would hurt if it went off in my hand...
This video is a different style from my previous one and is a bit of an experiment. Hopefully you enjoy it and give my wife a big thanks for putting up with me!

We had a bit of fun with a different format paying tribute to mythbusters. It was a lot of fun :) give my wife kudos for putting up with me. Hopefully you enjoy it! Also don't worry the narrator is just for this video to go all in on the mythbusters gag.
It was fun to watch The bat is really cool
Hey I'm just wondering. Where do you make your stuff?
Door breaching device.
What you should do is make a shoe that you attach the exploding thing to and kick a football
Put that thing on trackman. Get that 10.5 smash factor going
There's is something charming about watching two socially awkward people putting on a web show
What makes you think that they are socially awkward?
Sheldon and Amy's fun with flags!
If you think two people, essentially by themselves is social, that says more about you than them.
@Autolykos Myers Briggs Personality Types are like Zodiac signs for people who think they're too smart to believe in astrology.
Especially after they’ve been doing ITmores for years and still awkward
This is the best thing we've ever made "we have a daughter" Let us know what else we should hit "We HaVe A dAuGhTeR"
@Kentasy Cuz once u get it, it makes you laugh a little but at the same time you feel some sort of deep discust for yourself? Like, its easier to ignore that u ever got it and move on.
no screen appearances, so she's not canon
*Takes deep breath* 👏👏👏 Boi
Technically, it is "his" greatest creation, he wasn't wrong. The daughter is "there's" greatest creation. Unlike a new life this takes one to make.....🤔
Asian Parents : *First time?*
*"I thought it was cheating but the rules are made up and none of it matters"* is a quote I need to start using more in my daily life
@Cody telling my gf this for sure.
It reminds of whos line is it anyway, drew carey says something similar at the start of every episode. "It's the game where eveything is made up, and the points don't matter." It's an old 90's show.
Imagine you just hire a new lumberjack and when he has to cut his first tree, he starts loading his axe with shells. You are like "Oh, this must be the new guy from America"
"Imagine I'm loading it like an idiot.." "I can imagine that."
Your wife's constantly underwhelmed facial expression next to your constant enthusiasm never fails to put a smile on my face.
They have great chemistry. She kind of reminds me of Kate Monday from Mathnet, a segment on Square One TV (an old PBS show).
Reminds me of home!
Kuudere wins
like Aubrey Plaza
@The Official Sikris Robots? I would call fakely excited, over-the-top emotion of youtubers robotic. They look like ordinary people. You know. The ones that don't earn money through their "youtube persona".
Your wife presence just makes me giggle everytime I see her emotionless face. I can't explain but she feels like she is trying to hide her actual powers.

"1 hit K.O a tree." is a sentence I didn't know I needed in my life
whenever i hear/see 1hit K.O i think of darkviperau.-.
I'd like to see a semi-automatic/self-loading version of this. To begin with, a pair of recoil springs, one around each stop rod would easily reset the actual impact face. Similarly, it would not be difficult to put a box-type magazine into the length of the bat. A detachable/removable magazine would probably be too complex, but a system with a loading port near the firing mechanism would probably be fairly easy to do. That just leaves the really difficult problem of how to actually work the action, to eject spent casings and load new shells. Luckily Browning already solved this problem in 1911, but adapting it to a bat seems like a worthy challenge. Or, even better, adapting it to an axe. I'm a guy who likes a nice camp fire, and that means splitting wood. It often takes me multiple strokes to split a given log, but with a powered axe, I bet that every log would be split with a single hit, every time. Also, if you have a log standing on end on a splitting block, that would eliminate all problems with actually firing the cartridges.
You probably know more about the engineering part, however I do wonder if it’s really a good idea to make something self-loading/semi-automatic if it’s triggered by touching something too hard. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I’m curious how well this would work if you added a finger controlled trigger. With the axe application it would allow you to swing the axe at anything but increase the impact force dramatically, might even lead to a new way to clear wooded areas at home.
2019: let's plant millions of trees 2020: let's make an axe that one shots a tree
@Funky Optimistic
@James Boles step one: make a nuke
They need to put a rail gun or laser on the front or nuke those would make this the ultimate weapon!
@Inderpal Bains da bum tss
"You know you have a daughter" best line ever 😆
"You don't know anything about golf" Him: *shaking golf club violently* "yeah but I know about engineering"
Okay, I have an idea for your axe! maybe try adding a hinge to some part of axe head, so that you have a lever to work with, instead of just the blunt direct force directly at the rounds
Like a mangonel
I like this guy, he's just down to earth and funny as well as very interesting
Next-level content. This was amazing!
Was not expecting you here
Need to make him a proper axe head!
Alec!!
MY MAN ALEC WAS HERE?! LOVE IT
Hi
“Not as good as the exploding ax, but this one can be used more than once.” - Torque the Hyperborean Cyclops, from “The Lost Hero”
I don’t remember this but sure
@Palmer Patel can’t wait till he makes the squeaky hammer
Ey, another Riordan fan!
Lol that’s a real thing now!
The last place I was expecting to see a HoO quote lol
You could use a counterweight to "load" the firing mechanism and just have the button be a release, allowing the bat to only he armed when you swing it fast enough
You could build a lower-mass "strike bar" positioned just in front of the impact surface, which pushes against a rod that passes through a narrow shaft in the impact surface, so as to drive the rounds into the firing pins without having to move the entire mass of the striker. It would work like a "firing pin" for the firing pin, and remove the necessity of using an impact with a high mass object with the striker as the "firing mechanism."
The engineering is always 🔥, but the editing was where it's at for this video. Loved it 😂 😂 😂
Love the inclusion of "wife". The narrator is a different story. Your quirky narrative is all this needs. Awesome job guys! 🤓✌
Yeah, the narrator left me wondering if that was Shane with a cold.
Yeah, where tf did that narrator come from, and why was it only for like 3 seconds of the video?
Narrator is awesome
100% agreed, its like adding an unnecessary third wheel.
I love watching these types of channels. I mostly like their sense of humor.
I found a physics bug in this one... i thought about it a month ago as well. The acceleration from the explosion should also accelerate the baseball bat itsself. Making it even hard to hold in the hands when it hit something.
I love seeing the chemistry between you two!
You two are such a hoot, thanks for such entertaining vids!
So happy I found your channel! I love seeing crazy but well thought out ideas and experiments. Genius stuff! ❤👏🍻
Need more of this dynamic duo, the chemistry just forces a smile on your face
They absolutely deserve each other! It's so quirky and dry it's adorable!
You two are awesome together! I appreciate your channel!
POV: You're a burglar breaking into some nerds house, you spot him at the top of the stairs loading 4 shells into his bat.
Then his wife comes over with a dynamite golf club
@phanton987 this😅
Holy fucking shit I'd crap bricks
I'd be pretty scared if I saw someone casually loading bullets into their bat
As someone who has seen a ton of various melon type fruits get shot (and as someone who has shot a variety of melon type fruits) with actual guns, The damage this thing does looks comparable to being shot with somewhere in the .357-.44 magnum range.
The explosive bat video from smarter every day is what got me to find your channel in the first place. Your interesting ideas and entertaining faces from the wife really make it enjoyable to watch
I know it was a throwaway line but "I want more sig figs than really far" cracks me up every time.
I’ve actually seen a golf club like this. It was a driver that uses a blank cartridge and intended for people with physical disabilities to be able to get enough distance off the tee to be able to get out and play golf with others.
I really like the dynamic you and your wife have in the videos. "Imagine i'm loading it like an idiot" "I can imagine that." Keep up the awesome work!
I wish I could meet him in real life. He seems like someone you can really learn from! Amazing ideas!
I can't even explain how much I love that your videos aren't just you but often feature your charming wife putting things is layman's terms.
She's awesome lol cool ideas. I wondered this as a kid, I'm glad to see you brought it to life.
"This explosive bat is my best creation".... as his wife says " you have a daughter" lol these two are awesome. Much love guys.
-Teacher: “That’s cheating” -Student: “It’s not cheating, it’s how we make it work”
@Calle Söderberg Here's another one. It isn't cheating, it's creative problem solving.
@StudleyDuderight Fair enough. Disregard my comment then.
@Calle Söderberg Don't ruin the joke by politicizing it.
Exactly. Technically, every failed attempt at something is engineering in practise
@StudleyDuderight Donald? Is that you?
I love you guys. With each video, that feeling "INTEFIFIES"!
Loving the evolution of humor in your videos. Fantastic!
If you ever re-visit this, you could use sinew or artificial sinew to stitch the bones together, and cast them with the ballistic gel inside a thin leather glove!
I love the reactions from all the attempts at 1:33! haha so good
Love that "wife" is joining you more now! She was cracking me up I vote for more with her!
@joy ok? sooo
Is it bad that I love the wife?
@StachMan well.... It's very common that people look at partners that are similar in certain aspects of themselves sooo
Thought it was his sister they have the same chin... and talk the same... lol
they have great chemistry - I love it
falling in love with this channel after the first video... the details and the experiments... oh man... feeling a little like watching mythbusters ep 1 :)
Man!!! I love your videos. They are so hilarious to watch and so interesting. These suttle comedic parts makes it the best. The wife is so funny when she´s crushing you down everytime. I love it. Please consider making more.
I’m sure you’ve thought about it at least but have you tried putting a trigger on the bat rather than relying on chance to have the Homerunner to go off. Makes it more reliable and saves you the trouble of it accidentally going off
I wish i had a quarter of the drive of you, you're a true inspiration!
love ur stuff shane, im rewatching old stuff bc i wait for new ones D:
