I decided to try my hand at disc golf again. This time with a completely different strategy.

    As a disc golfer, if this was brought the the attention of disc manufacturers, it could really benefit the disc golf community. Most flight numbers for discs are decided by the collective agreement of players within its respective company, but if there was a way to have an accurate, measurable, adjustable, and consistant tool to test flight characteristics, then flight numbers could become more/actually true to help players across all skill levels.

    This man is a certified genius. To take so many different concepts from so many different fields and synthesize them perfectly by yourself is incredible. Mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, software engineering, he's built a distinct style of video for himself that allows himself to build his brand on his own terms. Hes very good at marketing himself, and in he's a phenomenal educator, explaining extremely complicated concepts with ease and accessibility. And on top of all that he's happily married with a wife and kids. Modern day polyglot

    That “yes, always” to “are you impressed with me?” tells everything. You guys are a lovely couple😊

    Puts a smile on my face at age 73. My oldest daughter has recently won a regional disk golf tournament in her age class, and I asked her to come show me her stuff. My back lot is about 250', and she had to slow down her drive throw to keep it within the property and not out onto the county road. That's with pure over-50 muscle power, grit, and experience - plus they make great disks for the sport of many types and for many purposes, like drivers, putters, etc. I admit I was sitting here hoping you would break the system into Accel + Spin sections, just based on intuitive logic, and so boy was I gratified to see you had already taken my time-traveled mental telepathy suggestion! Whew, now to go back to my FTL drive, to populate the universe with only cats, dogs, humans, and whatever little critters needed, like millions of types of insects, mammals, fishes, and stuff. The hard part is figuring out what to leave behind on my Interstellar Noah's Ark. I mean, I love spiders, but do we really need to take along Brown Recluse and Black Widow and Cobweb spiders?

    I think the very coolest thing about this channel, even more so than all the awesome engineering, is that it shows how complex and difficult some of the things the human body can do are. Anyone could learn how to throw a disk decently with a few hours of practice. But it takes an excellent engineer weeks/months to design a machine that can accomplish all the physical intricacies.

    Guys wake up Stuff Made Here posted!

    I love this! Halfway through I was like "Can't wait for him to make a part 2 where he makes an aiming system, similar to the billiard one." Like one minute later, he announces that he's gonna do just that. You love to see it.
  • @paullinski9867
    Dude, your videos are absolutely incredible! I love seeing what you come up with and enjoy seeing the process even more. I legitimately get upset when something doesn't work the way you expected it to. You're creativity and problem solving are fantastic and it's a lot of fun for my kids and I to watch. Thanks for all of the cool videos!
  • @macgivens7012
    This is insane. I'm a mechanical/aerospace engineer whose thesis was on disc flight mechanics. I cant tell you how many times I wished I had something like this. The problem is just so much more complicated than it seems initially. I can't explain just how happy this video makes me personally. Great stuff!
  • @frankierzucekjr
    Your wife, "yea, you look totally normal. Take it onto the ol disc golf course." That was too funny. Freakin love your channel bud.

    I sometimes think: “When’s the last time StuffMadeHere posted? It’s been ages.” …then I watch a video and realize, ‘yeah, that would take time!’
  • @DrFumi
    You should consider reaching out to some of the Disc Golf brands about this launcher. I'm not up to date on how the manufactures currently test their discs, but having a device to consistently launch them in the same way every time would let these companies give better flight numbers and characteristics!
