- Welcome back to What's Inside.
- Today, we've got a special video
where we're going to explode a disco ball super slow motion.
(mild explosion)
Thanks to Chromebook for sponsoring this video.
Get ready for the madness.
(dramatic upbeat music)
Don't push it.
(explosion) (screams)
So, rather than just blow up a disco ball in our backyard,
we came to Hollywood California.
This place is pretty cool.
- This is where TV shows and movies are actually made.
- A real set.
Does this not look like the inside of what you would think
a disco ball would look like?
- This is crazy.
- This is it, this is our giant disco ball right here.
Now, a lot of you might be asking, like,
why are you seeing what's inside of a disco ball?
First of all, a lot of you asked in the comments,
cut open a disco ball, see what's inside of it.
And then the second reason is it's become really popular
in today's world of, like, video games.
I've even seen a video game where sometimes a disco ball is,
like, over somebody's head and they're dancing like that,
and they can't stop dancing.
We see disco balls, you see 'em places where
they're all lit up.
But there's actually no lights inside of this.
Pretty simple the way this thing works.
It's just a mirrored ball,
and when a light shines on it,
it reflects off of it.
Like, look at Lincoln's shirt.
- Wow.
- I've got the light in one place,
and you can just see it's just...
- So cool.
- Setting the lights everywhere.
Once we got this disco ball and we felt it,
it's different than I thought.
(knocking)
- It sounds like a basketball when you hit it, like.
(knocks)
You hear that?
It's like rubber.
- It's not like in the movies where you just take this thing
and you drop it and it shatters.
- You should try it.
- I'll even show you this.
We're gonna take this and just drop it.
Like right here. - Yes, yes.
(thump)
- Alright, so this thing is stronger than you would think.
It's not a ball of glass that just shatters.
Yes, we could take, like, a chop saw or an angle grinder
or a hatchet and try to get into this thing.
But we're in Hollywood, we're gonna do this big.
- Let's do it.
- Let's go.
(intense upbeat music)
- Whoa.
- Alright, so yesterday, we sketched out the diagram
of what this explosion area is going to look like
on our pixel book.
And it's pretty cool because it looks pretty accurate.
So, there's the disco ball, it's really close to
what we drew up.
- There's the blast wall.
- The gold blast wall.
This is gonna protect us from getting damage,
but then more importantly.
- Super slow motion!
- We have an explosive expert, his name's Neil.
He's setting up the stuff right now.
Let's go check it out.
How's it looking over here?
- Well, just getting ready for the final touch here.
- Okay, check this out.
- What is that?
- See that?
- Push it.
- That's the button. - Don't push it,
just kidding!
(laughter)
No, we're not setup yet, right?
We're gonna let Neil do what he does best,
and we're gonna go somewhere safe,
which is in the saloon.
Hey girls.
- Hi, daddy. - Are you ready
for the explosion?
- We are ready.
- Thank you. - Okay, walkie talkies set.
- Here you go.
- Safety goggles.
- Glasses.
- Alright, okay Neil.
(dramatic music)
- Barrel's hot!
(dramatic music)
- Okay, here we go.
Ready, guys?
Three.
Two.
One.
(explosion)
(screams)
(laughter) (applause)
Yes! That is in pieces.
(intense rock music)
- [All] Whoa.
- Oh, do you see it.
It's like it split in half at first.
- It did. - Watch.
Right there.
Look at that, right in the middle.
- That looks really cool. - So, definitely that's where
it splits.
Like, that is really cool.
Let's go check out the pieces.
- Alright, let's go.
- Check it out, there's already a piece just, like,
right here.
There's one way over there.
- Whoa!
(upbeat music)
- Alright, so we've gathered up a bunch of the pieces.
I don't think we have a full disco ball here,
but we've got a lot of it.
- Yeah. - A couple things
that I think are interesting, first of all,
it is rubbery like Lincoln said originally.
When he thought it was like a basketball, yeah.
And it is that way.
It's like they just glued on little pieces of glass
onto this rubber.
The next thing I think is interesting is there's definitely
a seam in the middle.
So, the way that they must put these together
is they have two halves, and they put 'em together,
and they even have screws right here.
- That blew up into a lot more pieces than I expected.
(laughter)
That was so big, it went so far away.
- It's been a pretty wild experience
that ended in us having an epic slow motion explosion.
Hope you guys like this.
