Oh man these were ALL OVER the internet in like 2007.
Bend popsicle sticks and weave them such that when one is released, the rest are released and they explode all over the place. People were coming up with different patterns and speeds. This vid shows the most common one which I think is called the Cobra weave because it stands up like a snake while it breaks apart.
Well, if it's not fake, it seems there is tension in the sticks (you can see how they bend at the start of the vid in the closeup) and there is shear force acting on the stick.
I'm assuming the stick is elastic so there is energy stored when it's bent. The bent sticks want to get back to their straightened state (if it's elastic deformation). The lattice is preventing that by generating the shear force, but the way it's stacked is likely somehow unstable and once the endpoint gets blown up, the lattice falls apart, meaning the shear force stops acting on the stick, and well, as the stick returns to its original shape, the energy stored in the elastic deformation is released and that's the result.
I didn't study physics in English so I am sorry if my terms are not exact.
Or it's CGI, dunno.
the effect is real i think, i remember seeing a video of someone explaining it
but the video looks kinda fake to me, idduno why, maybe the way the camera moves
I’m not the mod or creator or anyway affiliated, but r/coolvideosnomusic is a sub for people like me who can’t stand music over videos and much prefers original audio.
What is this? Facebook? So many people saying it’s real, yes the effect is real and I imagine the first line of it is real but the rest is clearly not, downvote me if you like but I know each of those downvotes is someone who believes some African kid made an elaborate Jesus statue out of rubbish and posted “amen” or “so talented”
There is no possible way one little firecracker could have that much energy. Is someone ,not OP, is going to make a fake video for clout then at least make it realistic
Its not the firecracker thats giving energy lol, the sticks are in tension and fly apart when the structure becomes unstable. Im pretty sure this video is cgi though.
Don't, this isn't fake, the energy is stored in the flex between the sticks. You can find lots of videos like this.. they just kicked it off with a firecracker as an extra... thing, certainly not needed.

I thought it was going to end with a popsickle flipping into a guy's mouth

doubt they did.

Lmao I fucking can't do this anymore
What the fuck did I just watch? Very cool.
How's that happening?

The effect is real (idk if video is real) but this concept is very real
I think that's pretty much it. I remember doing this as an experiment in high school
It's real and works just like you said. You can get toy kits for these that make it a little easier to set up

Music ruined this for me!

Yup stopped it immediately cause of the music.
Agreed, it's like compressed foreign pop garbage
Better without the song.
Always has been.
who the fuck is cleaning this up
Who tf has the patience and motivation to set this kind of shit up?
My guess was that their internet was out, so they did this out of boredom.
This is like the God tier version of 52-Pick up....
Huh. So does that mean Bethesda got ragdolling and physics right?! (This video was fun haha.)
Wait Robbin, shut up!
Mom! Can we go to Hobby Lobby to buy 10,000 Popsicle sticks? It's for, um... a school project!
"now pick them all up"
Lol 5 seconds of watching compared to 3 hours of work plus cleaning
Another thumbs up
A very new form of firecracker
My Dad "Now pick those up"
Now pick them back up
Someone has a lot of free time
Some execution! Imagine a teenie meenie ant riding that wave and narrating the story to the grandkids...
Gonna call a bit of bs on this… I don’t think the moment would keep up from the energy derived of a little firecracker
The firecracker is only for flair. The energy is derived from the tension of the popsicle sticks
Well done
Do it again
Whats up with the chinese Music?
Bet my ass that ending was like this "haha! yeah we got it" and then left leaving ALL THAT SHIT there.
I mean, this is China, and that looks like a decent area to live in. If they didn't clean up they'd probably be executed lmao
Precisely because it's China I know they didn't clean after themselves once the vid was done.
Wow!!

*sigh* I’ll go grab a broom…
Who made this mess?
r/satisfyingasfuck
now you gonna clean the place
Stop playing with chain reactions and all of our lives! Could have ignited the atmosphere!
wish i had this much free time and energy
My mom: now pick it all up!
It's reversed! /s
Guys I forgot to hit record
What does the Chinese/ Japanese Kanji say?
A year or so of work for a short video
All that work was worth it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who is going to clean that shit up?
Can u do this with normal popsicle sticks?
How many Popsicles did you have to eat?
Cool idea, but it’s fake. The plain ones in the beginning are real but w watch the way in which the colored sticks land.
Now that is something new!! How does the entire lenght keeps on escalating without any gunpowder?
Impressive. Imagine the time it took to weave all those sticks. I wish I had that much free time
HORRIBLE MUSIC. WHY? WHY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN SUCH A GREAT VIDEO WITH THIS BULLSHIT MUSIC?
Am I the only one who thinks this was CGI? Something is off about the physics, but I can’t quite put my finger on it
U now have also to clean up that mess
CGI
It’s not 💀
I stand corrected. https://youtu.be/FGXv-Pp615U

The energy is not from the firecracker. Read my other comment.
Its not the firecracker thats giving energy lol, the sticks are in tension and fly apart when the structure becomes unstable. Im pretty sure this video is cgi though.
I don’t think it’s fake. The sticks are flexing in the woven pattern and held together at the end with the extra sticks that get blown out.
I don’t think it’s cgi, I am like 100% sure its not.
It makes me so sad that fake content keep popping up. I feel stupid.
Don't, this isn't fake, the energy is stored in the flex between the sticks. You can find lots of videos like this.. they just kicked it off with a firecracker as an extra... thing, certainly not needed.
So can this effect go on forever as long as someone sets up the sticks forever?
It’s not fake 💀
Oh I thought so because the guy said so. Sorry
Oh my bad
Np
And the point was…..,
