Spaghetti Bridge World Championships 2009

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

That scared the shit out of me.

[widdlepimplabs]

I made one of these in 7th grade, we could Only use 25 sticks. Mine held 23.2 lbs... 8th grade we made towers, mine held 32.9 lbs, still has not yet been beaten.

[13Brycen]

well they should do something a little more productive

[strikerofear]

@13Brycen when you think of the technological implications, its actually quite remarkable. physics that could help solidify future mega-structures, as well as architecture. if you look hard enough, there is a meaning to everything. Anything is far more productive than nothing, regardless of how silly it seems.

[pedrocborges]

The complete shatter is a proof of extraordinary weight-balancing, no weak points. Amazing!

[Constellation365]

That's cool how the bent the spaghetti sticks just enough that they didn't break. Now try breaking 422!

[eby23ful]

Szép volt! Hajrá magyarok, hajrá Győr !

[paperNATEman]

ahhhh catastofic structural failure...

[blackjackblowup1]

hey i'm eating spaghetti

[TomTom40202]

I almost shit at the end

[Divido126]

lol i got startled a bit at the end

[OSOC6]

Lol ... the audiences reaction after the explosion XD

[fireangel1732]

I like the explosion at the end... lol

[carminattiiiz]

How did they build the arco? Its a perfect semi-circul...

[WaterCow12]

@HMirzaupgraded Lol, the fuck are you talking about?

[jahlive12]

1 person doesn't like spaguetti!

[Aseath]

anyone please! tell me how did they do that perfect half circle out of spaghetti?

[MrLoljenslol]

2:10 real action.

[Superchickenman159]

but will it blend?

[NedFlanders95]

how did you make this "BOw" ??

Can you please give me some tipps

THX

[miroku0805]

2:13 is all I came for

[Blizzz1023]

did one in high school, it held 500 lbs and never broke, they ran out of weights...

[awmish1]

Al Dente

[Thengstle]

new world record!.. 100 consecutive nerdgasms at once!

[sniperjb007]

you are a stupid bitch who has no life and makes spegetti bridges

Trees hate youand Mr.Jesus doesnt like you

[Yrian96]

@sniperjb007 you watch it :P

[datzfast]

load it fast so you supass it load limit befor breaking. what a bunch of retards, you cant do that for obvious reasons.the load limit is the break point.

[kelmagjoc94]

I was genuinely scared when it exploded

[AngelGdo]

@kelmagjoc94

It scared me too!! haha

[kelmagjoc94]

@kelmagjoc94 I have to make a pasta bridge for physics class, so when my group got together over my house I told them to watch the video. Everyone freaked out when it exploded! Its like a lamer version of those ghost videos on youtube lol

[bruninhafairbanks]

I need to do a spaghetti bridge for school and i was thinking how i'd make it ;D

[marcjtdc]

@bruninhafairbanks use superglue suspend your strands over razorblades to make your stock, use dremel tool to shape them, glue into triangles. mine was 465 grams held 220 pounds. teacher could not break it - not enough weight. ill never know how much weight it would hold because he dropped it the next year and it shattered.

[stationwagonfreak]

That one stick failed, then the whole thing imploded!!! SO cool!

[marcjtdc]

mine in high school weighed 450 grams and held 225 pounds, but they did not have enough weight to make it break. finally two years later my physics teacher dropped it and it broke.

[supperpie3]

2:13 sreeming of dead peaple from that bridge.........

[markevens]

Beautiful! Whenever I've held such contests in my math classes, smart students will make a strong design, but often lack the quality of construction that is required for the design to be utilized to the fullest. These guys had both quality design and construction, so I tip my hat to them.

[se4biscuit]

@markevens i take it that you're a math teacher? cool! i hope that you could help me. i'm supposed to make a spaghetti bridge that could withstand weight for a competition. the constructed bridge itself should only weigh 45 grams, 40 cm in length, 8 cm in width and 10 cm in height. ++ can you please tell me what you mean by quality of construction? i'm sorry to have bothered you. but thank you in advance :)

[markevens]

@se4biscuit Design and construction are the difference between plan and execution. You can have a good plan, but if you don't execute it well, then your plan isn't living up to its full potential. For something like this, the important thing is to do your gluing the best you can, and to have the different parts consistent in size, and symmetry in your bridge. The closer you can bet to perfect symmetry with good joints, the better your bridge will hold.

[se4biscuit]

@markevens thank you so much!! :D your suggestions really help! :)

[airasweetie]

you´re the worst camera guy ever, and by the way your camera sucks ass, get a new one!!!

[iamfat97]

cool

but bad quality!!!!!

[UnowMe00]

Who the heck felt a need to invent concrete?

[archis84]

I wonder what type of glue, what type of Spaghetti do they use. How much glue can be there?

[superatin999]

great piece of engineering!!!!!!

[yomilo]

2:13 One noodle Falls... and boom! amazing!

[CHEROKEEVanLines]

@yomilo 2:11

[leventealmasy]

buszkek vagyunk ratok Dani Levi ,dublinbol !

[DanFrederiksen]

impressive. I wonder how much a 1kg carbon fiber bridge could hold then

[Zeobit]

Amazing work!

And I'd love to see the collapse in high qualitiy slomo :-)

[BleedingxxxLithium]

Holy shit, that scared the fuck out of me xD

[artcorner09]

lol it was cool how it broke at the end lol

[iphone3gw]

how did they do the arch to bend the pasta like that?

[bombalata]

@iphone3gw probely slightly cooked it

[TheBeat4Life]

were doing this design for our bridge at school

[phatcow27]

that was amazing. the fact that it almost all of it gave out like that simultaneously at the end shows how meticulous they were constructing it and making it absolutely symmetrical. so cool!

[pomeroy600287]

@phatcow27

I think one spar about 2/3 of the way round (clockwise) gives out a split second before the rest, and that weakens it just enough for the rest to go. If you look carefully you can see a single bit of spaghetti fall out the bottom, and then it folds up.

[neeslapper101]

its not even a bridge

[RobbyKeane10]

the cars dont ride on the top of the arch dude so where do u think they ride?? they ride on the platform  and it doesnt matter if u pu the weight on top of the platform or under it since it has the same effect on the spaghetti bridge

[quadbravo]

The rating for bridge is based on the effeciency factor which is the load carried divided by the weight of the bridge. This bridge has an effeciency rating of 451 which is no where near the world record. In fact it is over 30% less efficient than an American spagetti bridge I have personally seen.

[k2106]

Gratulalok srácok! A győriekre nem volt még felkészülve a kanadai mérőrendszer!

[YouPull]

A magyarok a világ urai :)

[tehdood13]

Perfection.

[erefoo]

Well I find this on hungarian news televison:Tótiván Alíz és Pozsonyi Norbert jövőbeni terveikről szólva elmondták: nem tervezik, hogy újabb hidat építenek, inkább a tanulmányaikra koncentrálnak.

That means: they rather concentrate on studying then makeing another bridge:)))

[zahor103]

Go Hungary! :)
