Target suggestion: bags of various flammable powders with a road flare nearby. For big fireballs the powder of choice is powdered calf milk replacement. Corn starch, non dairy creamer, and airfloat charcoal are also fun effects. Could be a fun video about the dangers of industrial dust explosions.
Nighthawk! I’m patiently waiting for your next video.
I don’t think you’d need the flare. The baseball seems to cause ignition on impact every time anyway.
Aluminium powder (plus some iron powder if you’re insane) or powdered sugar.
@Dávid Kertész The powder might not be sufficiently aerosolised to start propagating a flame before that goes out, though.
mostly just an excuse to make explosions ahaha
This is an example of why it’s difficult to communicate the content of a video in a single thumbnail and title. I have no idea how to describe what’s going on in this video with one photo.

@Pat Rick I’m only applying what I picked up from school, plus Slo-Mo guys (wish they’d get back to being ‘Guys’ again instead of ‘Slo Mo Guy’ lol), and good old Destin here… 🤔👍😎🇬🇧
yes it was 007 goldeneye character name was oddjob
at 9:23 watch carefully- there is fire at the impact of the sprinkles!
13:09 Sometimes you have to make adjustments on the fly.
that shockwave you mention at 10:26 looks like it is probably the air that was stuck between the ball and the container, super heated by the impact force, expanding and dispersing as it is being squeezed out
There’s this awesome effect at 19:39 where the reflection seems to stop moving but the real ball continues smashing through. I know it’s an illusion because of the viewing angles but it still looks surreal. Super cool.
Almost like a freeze frame, and it allowed the bow shock to be visible just before the actual strike.
It made me double take because I didn’t quite process it right the first time 😅
I really wish the focus had included the mirror.
I agree. It was a moment where I’m like “Is this a glitch in the Matrix?” How is one moving and one holding stationary? That was crazy.
That gong was amazing!
WAS…
*Funny enough I made a similar video with different types og gongs going on* 🤣🤣
@Ivan Fade’Em 🅥 yours was better
I’d love to see the baseball drive a massive steel spike (nail-like) into solid wood (ie: large section of tree), like a Mach+ speed nail gun!
Keep doing what you do!
Now I’m trying to imagine how many gongs it would take to stop it…
7th gong will stop it.
that’s for Demolition Ranch to answer
You can’t because all of your c stands are disintegrated. But I’d bet about 30
I just put the same comment then saw this…
Should team up with HowRidiculous and Destin to see how many DOORS!
Remind me to never lend a gong to Destin…
Alternatively you could get som real unique sounding cymbals from this thing lol
Hello, verified user.
wow didn’t expect to see you here 😀 I bet not even you can restore that gong
*youre gonna forget by tomorrow*
As someone who didn’t have an active father in his life, I really appreciate you taking your son along and teaching him. He’s a lucky kid.
Watching that mirror explode was fantastic! Not going to find this kind of footage anywhere else on YT, and that’s why you and your channel are so amazing.
Excited to see what you do next with this absolute unit of a canon.
Hey Destin do you notice the spark on the point of impact, it would be interesting to see if the voltage of enegry transfer goes up with the velocity of the ball ?
It’s not an electric spark, it’s a flash of heat generated because the friction is so high on impact. Think rocket reentering atmosphere in movies.
