- Hey, welcome back to What's Inside.
Today we're at our local track
and we have a very special ball today, Lincoln.
- Heavy, shot put ball.
- Alright, PortaPit eight pound,
made in India shot put ball.
This is gonna be an interesting one.
I'm guessing it's just pure steel or metal
because it is heavy but before we cut it open,
let's have a little fun with it.
Portapit.
- This is called Shot Put Off the Bleachers.
This is called Shot Put Off the Bleachers.
- [Voiceover] Ooh, it sunk right in.
Oh yeah, that's a pretty good hole there.
Nice job.
Will this ball roll 50 yards? Let's find out.
Alright, 50 yards!
Go! Go!
No, go!
Yeah, that counts!
Okay, it's time to cut open this shot put ball.
We've had a lot of fun with it
and hopefully this saw blade will work to cut it open.
This thing is hard steel so think it's gonna work?
- Pretty sure, with that saw.
- Alright, let's do it.
Alright, here we go.
(saw cutting)
- [Voiceover] It's melting.
- [Voiceover] It's totally melting.
The ball is so hot that you can see it's bubbling
and it's melting.
It's making it easier to cut but the thing
is melting like crazy.
- [Voiceover] Don't touch it, is that hot?
- [Voiceover] Woohoo, that is so hot.
This blade is getting destroyed.
It's falling apart piece by piece
from going at this strong metal.
I mean, if you look at this blade,
it's made to cut metal but this ball
is really putting it to the test.
And this blade I just bought this morning.
It's the second blade that we've put on here
so this ball is one tough ball.
We're getting very close.
Like we just have a little part
that we need to connect and we'll have it.
There's another blade.
- [Voiceover] There goes the other saw.
- [Voiceover] Aw, no.
- Well, we've blown out two saw blades
and now we're gonna take this chisel
and see if we can spread it open a little bit.
Possibly even break it open just to make it
a little easier on the last little part of metal
that we have left.
So let's hit this thing.
(hammer hitting)
That's going in there, that's for sure.
(gasps)
(cheering)
We did it!
- Look at that! Still so heavy.
- Look at the inside of that!
That is shiny from all the blade cutting that we did.
- It looks like the saw just polished the outside of it
and then this is the rough kind of metal inside of it
'cause we used that chisel kind of thing.
There's like a rainbow right there.
That's cool, I think.
- That is cool, it's actually beautiful.
It looks like polished steel.
It's heavy so I'm guessing this is four pounds each.
We lost a lot of it when we cut it in half.
I'm gonna throw this up in the air
and see what effect it has on the asphalt.
Oh, no. Look at that dent it made.
Whoa, this just half of the ball.
This is four pounds and look at that on asphalt.
No wonder it was so hard to cut this thing open.
Mystery solved.
That is what's inside of a shot put ball.
This ball was very, very fun to cut open.
- And tough.
- Yes, very tough.
We had two saw blades, three different nights
we had to cut it open.
And what finally got it was that chisel
so we appreciate you watching.
