Alright we'll see how fast I can swing it. It's actually improved significantly
For the record, do not try this at home
Hey guys in our last episode make it real we made the Thanos sword, but we didn't test it
So now we will we're gonna put it against all the usual items we usually test projects against, but the grand finale
We're gonna recreate the end scene from endgame and test the sword against Captain America's shield, which project will prevail?
But before we get to that this part of the video is sponsored by LastPass

Thanks again to LastPass for sponsoring this part of the video now. Let's test the Thanos sword
Alright, so Riley did a fantastic job on the Thanos blade, which means you get to test it
Awesome. Let's get smashing. Sweet. Oh my god. It's so heavy
All right, we'll see how fast I can swing it
It's so hard to stop swinging
Another! More things
Should I try to do the spin move? Yeah. Spin move!
The fire did not move I overcompensated
Fire moved
It just works. Oh man I don't like this
Yeah, maybe we should have screwed it down James why didn't you screw it down
Did none of us anticipate that? Well its become a laptop
Disengaged the clip somehow. Yeah chopping time. It's time to go ham, but my back is gonna hate me
Swords better now it's actually improved significantly
Dude, it like sheared.
How do you use shear, like it was pretty thick wall steel. It rusted on the inside. I am so wildly confused now
Yeah, I don't understand
What the hell? All right. Let's get back to it that monitor's still alive
You want this monitor dead? I can make this monitor dead. Oh, it is so much better. Now. Why didn't we just make this?
The screw!
Alright now it's my turn now that it's easy to wield!
So really based on that
Thanos's sword should be more like Darth Maul's lightsaber where you could break it off into two and then have two massive swords
That'd be sweet
Alright, let's try that again, let's do a clean cut all the way through this concrete block
Pretty awesome
For the record do not try this at home tube TVs have flyback transformers. This is a terrible idea
Hold it
Now this is an interesting break because it didn't break where we welded it
it actually broke Midway off the pipe and you can see the seam there where the two pipe sections were welded together and
This is what you see with the the rough spot and the welds
We had no idea that this was even there because it looks like a normal pipe on the other side
So we're gonna fix this and then get back to the destruction
Let's fix it!
Let's go break more stuff. All right. Now the sword is fixed. It's time for the ultimate test, Ian. You ready?
All right, so obviously it's gonna be a bit too dangerous to actually hold the shield when I hit it with the Thanos sword
So we've actually made it, Ian what are you doing?
The whole the whole reason that we got the 2x4s is so you don't have to hold the shield
Okay ready
smash cap shield!
Just has just love the double sided blade coming back at you every time you swing
It's kind of like when you're pointing a finger at someone it's just like one finger that way for back
How long were those screws used well let's get some longer screws
Alright we've reinforced structures. So hopefully now when I hit the shield the shield breaks instead of the structure
What the hell it should shatter the other one broke so easily this is looking like better quality metal
All right, so this thing is freaking sweet
The issue is it's really not wieldable we either need someone much bigger than me
Or maybe some kind of machine to truly test its capabilities
we're gonna do just that we are going to build something to
Spin this at a high speed and then we're gonna chuck stuff at it think of it as a giant Thanos Copter!
Like this but much faster, oh, there we go. Whoa Oh God Oh God like that, but but
Yes
Right, so we just cut out this big piece which is going to hold the handle of the blade and that's going to be attached to the
Large sized gear. We have this piece, which is going to hold the bearing for the motor
All right
So we just got the holes plasma cut for the motor mount as well as the bearings that are gonna hold the large gears
Now we're gonna get it cleaned up and let's mount everything
Let's put it together
So in order to track how fast the Thanos copter is going we're actually gonna put together a small circuit that's going to count
How many times the magnets on the motor pass around and then do some simple math and we should be able to get telemetry on
The remote of the exact RPM with the sword, let's put it together
To check out the complete circuit diagram visit our page on maker.io
So in order to sense the RPM
We're actually using a Hall effect sensor to count how many magnet polls pass by it and that can be demonstrated with this drill
Right here
you can see on the oscilloscope every time the magnet passes by it counts a pulse
By knowing how many magnets are in the motor we can actually divide that and calculate how fast the motors going
So we're actually gonna mount this hall effect sensor right beside the motor
And that will allow us to actually measure the magnets inside the motor and calculate how fast it's going
some simple math for the gearing ratio that will know exactly how fast the sword is spinning and can even do
Calculations to be able to determine just how much energy it has
So the motor that we actually using for this is a 16 thousand watt motor which means unfortunately
We can't power it off the wall outlet as it would take about ten
Circuit breakers just to get that to run
So we're actually powering it off of our forklift with a giant connector
Which we'll be able to provide us with 48 volts in over a thousand amps constant more than enough to run this motor
Let's try spinning it up
Everybody get out of the shop! Testing will be commencing in one minute!

All right, make sure you guys are subscribed, in the next video
We're gonna be testing the Thanos copter and it's gonna be awesome! Like the video, turn on notifications, you know the drill
First I've got another idea I want to give a shot
