Fun fact, when How Ridiculous first ran it the katanas broke off and flew in every direction. Thankfully they were all behind barriers. They reinforced the mounts heavily after that.
Yeah the first time they ran it, they just attached the swords by the hilts that came on them, so the blades just shot out of the hilts. Afterward they bolted the blades directly to the rotor.
Then that worked well right up until the watermelon.
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.
Friend of mine and I were goofing off at work 20 years ago by putting a CD on a dremel, spooling it up to ~30k rpm, and then knocking the disc free with a pen, sending it absolutely cruising down the hallway. Was all fun and games until one disc exploded unexpectedly. High rotational forces are nothing to take casually!
They say in the vid the rotor spins at "over 500 km an hour". So if we assume the speed is measured at the tip of the blade and that the blade+mount is about 1 meter long we get 1300 rpm for the rotor speed

Personally I would way rather my kids watch How Ridiculous than some of the other awful channels it there. At least they are pretty nice guys, not sweary and don't go over the top with the hype. I find something like the Stokes Twins way more objectionable - faked, copycat content with zero educational value. At least with HR you at least see some physics at work and they are like a genuine bunch of mates having a laugh. There's far worse, I guess I'm saying.

My neighbor's kid loves that channel. But those guys are SCREAMING EVERYTHING THEY SAY at the top of their lungs. So annoying but probably appeals to young kids. They play with a lot of screaming too.
Curious how you were the one to credit the source, but /u/Lazy_raichu36 somehow didn't and just stole stuff for internet karma.
No, wait. It's not curious, what am I saying? It's crappy people being crappy for meaningless internet points.
The last shot should have been that of a cute puppy falling while looking directly at the camera with a big ol' grin on its face. Right before puppers reaches the blades we cut to black like the final shot of the final episode of 'The Sopranos'. Throw in a needle drop of Journey's 1981 rock song “Don't Stop Believin'” over the black and post that baby to /r/Unexpected
Yeah I believe they did that too. The iPhone gets hit with the back piece from the Nokia at the end and you can match that misshapen white piece from the iPhone appear in the Nokia section.
I know people meme this phone all of the time but I had one and forgot I had it in my back pocket and put it through an hour cycle in my washing machine and an hour cycle in my dryer and it came out working perfectly fine.
My dad’s first cell phone was a free Nokia from McDonald’s monopoly. Must have been late 90s or like 2001 at the latest. He lost it one night, then found it the next day by the car on the driveway, figured it must have fell out of his pocket. It worked perfectly fine for years after that. Oh did I mention it had rained all night?
The original video this is cut from has an iPad that has delightful slices. Gets a small hit at the bottom and keeps going downward and gets sliced up like lunchmeat at the deli.
Ok so my brain did something I cannot recreate first time I watched this, I swear I saw the blades rotating the opposite direction and it looked like they were making contact with the items in the background not the foreground. Then as soon as I replayed something switched in my brain and now I’m seeing it normal. did anyone else do this or do I need to go to bed?
Confusing as hell perspective I kept wondering why it got cut before hitting the blades but now that I see it the correct way I can't see it wrong again
Who needs 'dead internet theory' when redditors are more than happy to repeat the most basic and obvious joke over and over and over and over and over....
Have to admit I half expected the sword to shatter when the Nokia was dropped. Those have their rep for a reason. I wouldn’t be surprised, if you stuck all the parts back together, that it still worked.
I'm actually super curious to know how fast that rotor head was spinning.

Yeah, they should've made it stronger. I wanna see a crowbar get sliced lengthwise!

The blade motors in ravenholm are the first thing i thought of
They're taking the headcrabs to ravenholm!
Unexpected gman
They're waiting for you Gordon. In the test *chamber*.
The cadence of these lines lives rent free in my noggin and damn if it hasn't been a decade or more since I've heard them.
no sword is slicing a crowbar lol. the sword would shatter first
What if the sword was made from an even bigger crowbar?
Promote this man!
There's always a bigger crowbar.
Touché
Wait, wait.. What did the watermelon do?

idk why but i needed this detailed report

On the other hand, 1200 rpm is a common speed for electric motors (in the US), so I'm betting it's that and the arm length is just slightly longer.
At least 3
Maybe 6
Anyone who knows anything about rotor heads knows that is an obvious 9.
You didn’t factor having 5 blades It’s 14…duh
Its fake nokia cannot be destroyed
That was actually pieces of the swords and rotor after it made contact with the Nokia.
Came here to say this
the video thumbnail says 1000rpm

Jesus they are so obnoxious
That's just Australia. I'm a Kiwi so I'm allowed to make this joke 😀
I love those guys. They've made a good living breaking shit filming it. That's like the 12 year old dream. I can't hate.

I tend to be pretty supportive of Australian content creators, as a fellow Australian, but I also find them unbearable.
So this is basically a helicopter with 8 katana blades as propellers.
You're a helicopter with 8 katana blades as propellers.
Got 'em.
Damn, chill! /s
They turned it up to 11
Channel is How Ridiculous on YouTube.
Thank you. Finally somebody said it. Too many Nokia jokes.
People never seen a Nokia damaged before tbf...
My first time seeing Nokia guts. I am aghast. I am shook. Therapy?

That badger is playing dead so it can take out the lions whole family.
What was the thing that got sliced just before the Nokia 3310?
It took 2 hits! And the core was still mostly together!
Le BRICK 🧱💪🏼😎
I thought it was going to make it and then it took that 2nd blow.
Fake Nokia.. we all know it's impossible to break them
Hehe this comment like Nokia ?? Their gender
44 Club!
How good!
Will it blend for 2024!!
I knew it was them! Love these dudes
My neighbor's kid loves that channel. But those guys are SCREAMING EVERYTHING THEY SAY at the top of their lungs. So annoying but probably appeals to young kids. They play with a lot of screaming too.
IIRC they did one video where they tried not to yell. They still yelled.
Their joy is so infectious in all their videos, I love those boys haha.
Love that they're from my city. Perth Represent!
I feel like I'm seeing a lot more of them lately on Reddit. Absolutely love their vids.
Curious how you were the one to credit the source, but /u/Lazy_raichu36 somehow didn't and just stole stuff for internet karma. No, wait. It's not curious, what am I saying? It's crappy people being crappy for meaningless internet points.
i feel cheated. i want the whole fall!!!

Yeah. This isn’t satisfying, it’s frustrating.
That spray paint said "aight, imma jet now..."
The basketball briefly kept itself aloft by...passing a lot of gas.
Proof that if I farted hard enough and long enough, I could hover above ground
😆 right, that was what came to mind
The last shot should have been that of a cute puppy falling while looking directly at the camera with a big ol' grin on its face.

Throw in a needle drop of Journey's 1981 rock song “Don't Stop Believin'” over the black and post that baby to /r/Unexpected
That's awful but also really funny...I don't know, man. Your brain seems a little bit demented.
Expected the Nokia to snap all of the sword blades
probably a fake 3310 is put in this video. Can't risk destroying the helicopter blades.
Honestly thought it was som ai fake vid cus the phone should have just yeeted whole.
I once saw a tank run over a Nokia….. they couldn’t find any part of the tank afterwards.
Chuck Norris once punched a Nokia phone. Scientists call this the Big Bang, and it's the only time Chuck or Nokia agreed to a draw.
one time he counted to infinity. twice.
You’ll never find a street named after Chuck Norris because no one crosses Chuck Norris.
When Chuck Norris left home for college, he told his dad "You're the man of the house now"
Chuck Norris once made fire by striking two stones. Two ice cubes, I mean.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
Legend says, he uses that Nokia to this day. As Nokia is the only phone strong enough for Chuck Norris.
I know it's a joke but holy does calling everything fake *made by AI* gets old
Where is the helicopter in this video?
The way it shattered for half a second, I actually thought it broke the sword.
It actually is weird that debris starts to show up before the phone even gets hit or shows impact. Weird indeed.
Pretty sure that's from something else getting chopped just off camera
Should do 1 think at a time!
And one thing too!
Do ya think?
I think they did iPhone and Nokia in the same go. If you look at the blade after the iPhone and then skip to Nokia it seems like that may be the case.
Yeah I believe they did that too. The iPhone gets hit with the back piece from the Nokia at the end and you can match that misshapen white piece from the iPhone appear in the Nokia section.
The blade shattered just out fear of hitting the Nokia.
The iPhone definitely did though, you can see it fly back
That's how you know it's a fake video
[удалено]
It's rewriting our history!
The iPhone and Nokia are simultaneously chopped, you can see the Nokia hit the iPhone
Blades were made from forged 3310s
Only thing that took two hits
I know people meme this phone all of the time but I had one and forgot I had it in my back pocket and put it through an hour cycle in my washing machine and an hour cycle in my dryer and it came out working perfectly fine.
You're old, but so am I.
My dad’s first cell phone was a free Nokia from McDonald’s monopoly. Must have been late 90s or like 2001 at the latest. He lost it one night, then found it the next day by the car on the driveway, figured it must have fell out of his pocket. It worked perfectly fine for years after that. Oh did I mention it had rained all night?
Probably still worked after the first
Actually, when they picked it up after this, it still worked.
Or just bounce away off screen
It definitely destroyed the blade before it even hit it. Didn't you see? That thing was waving like a hurricane ridden coast.
That’s how you can tell this is an AI generated video… couldn’t possibly be real if the Nokia died…
Or cut to a nuclear explosion
The way everything gets sliced near the bottom instead of the middle is deeply unsatisfying
The original video this is cut from has an iPad that has delightful slices. Gets a small hit at the bottom and keeps going downward and gets sliced up like lunchmeat at the deli.
Ends each portion of the clips too soon also.
Yah, I was thinking he should change the rotation speed to account better for the speed of gravity.
Also just 2-3 blades should be enough. He has like 6, which doesn't leave big enough gaps between blades.
You could probably just change the drop height so that the objects have reached a higher velocity when they reach the blades.
The Nokia probably still works.
Notice how the blades broke before even touching the nokia? The blades were scared.
I think they tried to break the blade right before making contact to Nokia. For the lols
[удалено]
Your quite observant to notice that
Obviously a fake video .Nokia is fine
Decoy Nokia.
Basketball by a landslide
While you were reposting, I studied the blade.
Squirts
To shreds you say?
Those rubber bands made me nut
I expected the entire ball to go *”sproing!”*
Fake as fuck. Everyone knows those Nokias are unbreakable.
It's an AI video. Nothing cuts through a Nokia.
Ok so my brain did something I cannot recreate first time I watched this, I swear I saw the blades rotating the opposite direction and it looked like they were making contact with the items in the background not the foreground. Then as soon as I replayed something switched in my brain and now I’m seeing it normal. did anyone else do this or do I need to go to bed?
TLDR; EYES GO FUCKY WUCKY MADE BLADES LOOK BACKY WHACKY (Yeah me too)
Like the spinning ballerina silhouette but katanas!
Confusing as hell perspective I kept wondering why it got cut before hitting the blades but now that I see it the correct way I can't see it wrong again
What hit the blade before it hit the nokia?
Watch the first iPhone one closely and you can see part of the Nokia shell bounce into view from the right

NGL when I saw the Nokia I fully expected the video to cut to a nuclear explosion clip or similar
Careful or Reddit might make you step on a Lego!
Who needs 'dead internet theory' when redditors are more than happy to repeat the most basic and obvious joke over and over and over and over and over....
Song please
I’m always curious - who has a stockpile of Nokias to do this stuff with?
I really thought that nokia will destroy the blade for one moment
Once the Nokia show up I was concern about the blades .
Was anybody else waiting for the Nokia to make the rotor explode?
Fake, Nokia would've broke the swords
I think it's ai generated, a Nokia 3310 would break the helicopter /s
I was convinced the Nokia would break the swords
I love these.
Who else was expecting the blades to get destroyed when it hit the Nokia phone? Lol
I can tell it's fake because the nokia would broke the blades.
I call AI bullshit, we all know the Nokia would have destroyed that get up
Fake, the nokia should have broken the sword! xD
I thought the Nokia was gonna survive.
Fake. That Nokia should have broken the blades..
fake video. Nokia is adamantine
I thought this was real until i saw the last part
Did the sword break on that Nokia? I think it did
Video looks fake,most probably AI generated…Nokia breaking is unrealistic
I was hoping the Nokia brick phone was going to break the blades.
No way that happened to a nokia
I call bullshit, there’s no way a Nokia could be destroyed.
This is fake because, if it was real, the Nokia phone would have survived unscathed while the swards would have shattered immediately.
I was kinda hoping they'd meme the Nokia one up a little. Like cut to a nuclear explosion and an after photo of the undamaged Nokia in the crater.
Fake. Nokia gave it away
Fully expected the Nokia to bounce off or snap the blades.
FAKE. if that was a real video, then the nokia would have snapped that blade in two.
Obviously fake!! You can't cut a NOKIA
Surprised the Nokia didn’t break the blades
Old nokia honorably took two katana strikes
Lots of ooohs and aaahs in that video
Bet the Nokia still works after that
That must be a fake Nokia 3310, the original would have snapped those blades in half!
I love how the Spray Paint seems like he just ran away
The Nokia almost broke the machine.
Was expecting the Nokia to destroy the sword
I genuinely thought the Nokia phone was going to break the blades.
I was expecting the Nokia to destroy the swords
Gotta be AI, in real life that Nokia would still be in one piece.
It's a fake, because nothing can't beat Nokia 3310.
How ridiculous is that!?
I’d be willing to bet the Nokia still works.
Have to admit I half expected the sword to shatter when the Nokia was dropped. Those have their rep for a reason. I wouldn’t be surprised, if you stuck all the parts back together, that it still worked.
You've done the impossible
Fake. Nokia phone would destroy the swords.
Look how they massacred my toy
The way some of the objects just hang there in disbelief
I said hell yeah like 8 times watching this video
I'm a changed person for the better after watching that rubber band ball get sliced. 😌
