giant rubber band

[MaskedGuardian0]

Well no wonder it didn't go far, the thing was hardly stretched to its maximum. I could still see slack on it.

[bortsimpson1]

they needed to stretch it further

[mrnerf01]

you forgot to take the weight away from the original calculation. if it weighed the same as a normal rubber band, then yes it would fly as far as you predicted.

[dragonofthesun]

They didnt pull it back far enough!

[RoboTekno]

Wow, sounded like it broke Mach one :P Nice try, but aerodynamics aren't linear ^_^

[dman1299]

just skip to 3:25

[KamiKazeKrepe]

@dman1299 you saved me 3 minutes and 25 seconds of my life, and therefore, i thank you

[legoman12319]

chineese arsholes hehehehe

[yugandali]

@legoman12319 I hope you are not supposing yourself superior simply because you can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese.

[vinkie35]

why are there so many useless "world records"??

it's starting to get annoying

[yugandali]

@vinkie35 Let's see who can set the world record for the most annoying world record!

[elzeastwood2010]

wonder how stacks of hundreds that shit can hold

[FormulaSixty9]

Come check my destruction!!!

[AWESOMO5]

EPIC FAIL

XDD fiunny as hell tyho

[Poopie7894]

Its called air resistance. it might have gon farther in a vacuum.

[Lordoofious]

FAIL

[mattsnozone4life]

what an anticlimax!

[kipper905]

use that to shoot hornets :)

[saoroy]

Nice attempt, but I could have saved them the time. The atomic structure of the rubber bonds to not go up in a 1:1 ratio with the increasing size of the band. Expecting this band to be as strong and fly as far as a smaller band would be like expecting a human to lift an elephant, because that'd be the proportionate strength of an ant, at our same size. Still, I'm glad someone did this...really fun.

[superAZNrescuer]

nice breakdown :D lol so funny

[EdOwnz]

Lol this proves that Japanese's are retards. That is embarrassing who ever tried to do that, just embarrassed their own country.

[rugia007]

@EdOwnz and american reality tv shows do just the opposite. I totally get it now. Where were you when we needed an explanation of which country is the retardest.  Oh gosh TV explains everything these days. I would have never known prior to reading YouTube comments.

[lclouser524]

I am the Guinness World Record holder for shooting a rubber band the longest distance - 99 feet! And I did it without any external assistance - just me and the rubber band. 2001 Guinness World Record Book, page 20.

[yugandali]

Good for you! Do you have a video you can share with us?

thanks.

[Dontchokeonfear]

don't mean to be a douche or anything but pretty sure the little rubber bands can go like 25m

i've done it :D

[TheRealRubbaBanMan]

Maybe I should try this myself.

[ongne1234]

that shit is too heavy ...what you expect man?

[Petitprox]

air resistance ..... I always thougt that japanese people where frinkin smart.... :P but great fun tough!

[Morytana]

you know what would be cool :P to make a rubber band with the same lenght as teh earth. and then acyually take it all way round

[RedDead888]

um it would go a lot farther if it was stretched you could see the slack in it there is no slack when you shoot a rubber band

[googlephi]

True, they did leave slack in the band. But I doubt they were allowed to stretch it to full capacity. If it actually had enough energy to travel one mile, it would have been a danger to everyone around. Someone getting cut in half is not good game show fun.

[rino152R]

:::nerd alert:::

the principle of inertia at work though the giant rubber band has a size advantage it has a surface area that is to large. so as it tries to move in 1 direction at a constant speed its area is affected by friction with the air and is slows to a stop.

[JoshW272727]

all that build up for it to go... pretty much nowhere XD

[206ale82]

Hahahahahahaaaaa very very very funny!!!

[cowpied678]

LOL THAT WAS FUCKING AWSOME! i really thought it would go farther than the highway!

[Phoenixchc]

lol.all that traffic moved 4 nothin.

[Sethjxl]

lol awsome. guess this points out how important the power to weight ratio is. Not to mention air resistance.

[bones4567]

yeah. plus the angle and the fact that they didn't pull it back very far, you could see it was sagging

[ilovechickenwingsgeg]

lol they need to stretch it farther. i thought i was gonna go miles

[razer1000]

it made the best noise ever, now they can use it in some video game or movie as a transporter or space ship sound effect lol

[toxicyeti]

lol that as funny

[Marcus4president]

that was fucking gay

[joefon11]

they need to hold the front part a tad bit longer than the back part and shoot it a little more horizontaly

[Sam150495]

The Japanese are studying this instead of the war on terrorism WTF

[yugandali]

maybe they plan to shoot giant rubber bands at the terrorists.

[joefon11]

well they got a lot more work to do if thats their plan!

[WmGink]

lol

[sounnikoura]

Aaaand you are watching videos in your PC instead of studying how to solve hunger... WTF?

[StretchYourBand]

What other uses can you think of for rubber bands? Comment on my channel!

[deadblood2]

think it didnt get pulled back far enogh to go that far they could of pulled it back much further.

[DeStryke51]

the small elastic could've went farther if the guy angled it up to at least 30 degrees and done it indoors.. elastic bands flying outdoors are easily distrupted even by the tiniest bit of wind.

People like these (not japanese directly, but most of it is jap), do some of the stupidiest things ever

[solidsharkey]

The volume of a structure increases with the cube of its linear dimensions whereas its surface area increases with the square of its linear dimension. You know, it's why we don't have giant ants. Those "wacky japs" know, and they know when to conveniently ignore it for the purpose of comedy.

[ZachsMind]

WE WILL WE WILL

...get pwned by gravity and drag. Doh!

[BfeoAdmin]

they are forgetting to factor the width which created drag.

[DeStryke51]

not to mention the fact it weighed 22kg.. something that flimsy with 22kg is less efficient than something like a ball

[sampsonelectro2224]

they were not even pulling the rubber band back that much. wimps.

[23Khalil23]

i only know how to say mom,dad,pervert,and hello in japanese

[yugandali]

well, that's really about all you need,right?

[leinad124]

That was bollox.

[Psychild88]

lmfao i bet that went 50 metres..and they had markers for 1.5km..haha..weird

[gonepishing]

they are using the matrix music...

[grant2053]

Japanese...... boy the Japanese have some really strange shows, some scientists the dumasses should have known that the drage from the rubber band speeding up so fast that rubber band would have slowed itself down so much that it wouldent have gon to far.

DUH!!

[supers92]

sumoo sumoo agatua????? wtf? 00:30

[FabroGuitar]

Angle should be 45°, it wasn't.

And the rubber was not stretched enough.

[revraptor8]

I would have laughed very hard if it hit one of the cars on the high way....!

[yugandali]

that would require really good aim. Maybe they should try again. Try harder!

[ET5050]

LUCK

[ponchato]

fuck you to fucking hell you stupid fucker spammer

[pearlmana98]

Besides the wind factor, the thing probably weighed atleast 20 pounds. A rubber band that ways an ounce or two will fly alot farther because of its weight and because of its aerodynamics. Beyond that, I do believe that it was not strecthed enough, perhaps out of fear of breaking it?

Besides all that, really funny! WHat company made a rubber band that big?! Haha. Great vid.

[Barsnips]

POINT - you could tell when they were trying to strech the band that the and had a slight dip in the middle, therefore meaning it was not streched enough

[uchihasi]

ha ha ha that was funny

I think the angle was wrong and it needed to be pulled tighter

[g33kiChIkA]

hahahahahahahahahaha! dat was funnii. everyone thought it would go up to 1.5 km but it didnt. oh well..

[tripyhipi]

and why would you want to do it in the first place?

[yugandali]

science, pure science

[Killmeason]

FAIL

[UltimateCreator]

Okay. I really think it could have gone farther. But I could see that it was very floppy, so it probably couldn't have gone far anyway.

[manu55]

was NOT*** pulled tight enough.

[manu55]

They didn't factor in wind resitance... and also it was pulled tight enough

[enigmaglue]

It should have been quite a bit thicker...

[Jorfapigo]

That's what you get for being so freaky...LOL

The good thing about this, is the matrix soundtrack

[Troublesum1226]

HAHAHAHAA OWNED

[markhynde]

i could throw my girlfriends rubber panties further

[yugandali]

if you do, film it. I bet you'd get a million views the first day.

[ponchato]

Dude, you should do it, it would be THE most watched video on youtube!

[nitsky416]

IAWTC

[DiverUK]

Condoms fly better through the air.

[captainfury2007]

WOW That thing went 15m? Check out my videos! I get murdered by a puppet.

[coolfool3000]

holy shit that rubber band is freaking huge!!!!!

[Diabloz11]

HOLY CRAP! THAT RUBBER BAND WENT FLYING! WOW! (Sarcasim) and what were they saying?

[yugandali]

permit me to translate. They were saying, Holy Crap! That rubber band went flying! Wow!

[Mecat5360]

4 min and 16 secs of my life i wont get bak

[yugandali]

yeah, but don't you feel your life is more fulfilled and richer? I bet you've never seen such a big rubber band anywhere else.

[VIOLAT0R15]

not like u have a life...so y cry over 4 minutes?

[Mecat5360]

it waz a joke lol how much of a life do u hav if u dont get it lol how sad is that

[a5haman]

thats not a joke.. more like a complaint so whatever, go complain somewhere else, you spend more time searching for vids on YT so dont complain.

[pzuallstar]

ese chino es un poko marika

[Dieyoubitches]

did i hear "queen" playing in this japanese video? heh

[Mecat5360]

omg ur right

[Lolzatyourfacemoo]

LMAO wat a piece of SHIT

[TheOuterEye]

lol kwl accpet for the fact that i ahd no idea what was going on...lol oh well

[MrF1lm]

japanese tv shows suck

[Fallenone350]

dude no

[StygianHues]

hahaha well that's what they get for doing a scale ratio.

[pokerworldcommunity1]

ha ha yeah!

[tacoman747]

HAHA, they suck.

[lolz8930]

WAA!!! soo big!!!!!1 I want 1>!!!!

[bwallace324]

why?

just another priceless piece of televison from the japanese

[billybobsteele]

should have streached it further

[Longy4life]

It wouldn't matter how far they pulled it back, the fact is, the weight of the band would make it sag regardless of how much tension u put across it. What they should have done really, is added a heavy weight to the back of the band, which would make it slingshot forward. like omnitool said, it wouldbe like throwing a feather as hard as u cna. no matter how much effort u put in, it won't go far. gutted on them! thought they would've thought of that really :S

[yugandali]

hey, I really like this idea. Maybe we can find out what they did with the rubber band~~

[lcpuche]

rolf

[omnitool]

They could've pulled it back 500m, that doesn't really matter. what made it crap out was the weight/surface area ratio. It's like shooting feathers out of a cannon. What they should've done was added a weight to it.

[yugandali]

good idea!

[coondogtheman1234]

Holy shit thats a big rubber band, i remember having one like this but it was about 5 feet long if you pressed it together and pulled it till it was straight, I got it from a warehouse

[yugandali]

yeah, but how far did it go?

[coondogtheman1234]

I didnt shoot it, when i was little i made kind of a swing in my room but it bounced more, i hung the band between my bunk bed and my bedroom door, I was light back them if i did that now id fall on my ass and break the door off or topple the bed and break the band, i could make a hell of a slingshot out of it

[arthurxsc]

hahahaha q idiotas meu mo babacas nem conseguiram num passo dos 5metros!lol

[Pzonified]

fu##$ing idiots it went like 15 m!

[Jimmetalrules5546]

The people running that were idiots. When u pull back a normal rubber band u dont do it so that it is still swaying, so if they pulled it back in proportion to how a normal rubber band is pulled back it probably would have worked.

[shmoozer69]

Wow, cant believe i wasted 4 minutes of my life on that video.

[laxkid285]

what the ****

[360DRONE]

peace of poo hey

[Ameithor]

hahahahahahahahaha

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[windowboy]

looks like an apex predator making its escape from the grip of a ferocious animal...

[yugandali]

great imagination, and you're right, it does!!

[thedonskipper]

lol

[Quade77]

well what did you expect? deh

[inixistente]

lol chineses do catano lol

[davmth]

lol it was so lose tho

[papercut1987]

loll...funny

i thought it would go far

[bwadbweh]

basterd wankers, worst video ever

[4n0m41y]

this video sucks fucki repost

[yugandali]

I suppose if you have no intelligence, no imagination, and no sense of humor, you have no choice but to resort to vulgarity.

[dilster5]

Wow, there is no better way to put it.

[gavinovz]

That was strange.

[jezagtfo]

lol what pissed me off was the adds right before they shot it. i was like 3...2...1..ADDS OMG

[archbishopjabber]

Smaller rubber bands work better....

[LincolnS]

Yeah, the tension wasn't nearly enough. You can see the rubber band swaying in the wind as it is stretched. I bet they could have pulled it back at least twice as far...

Maybe that crane would have started to fall over though, haha...

[yugandali]

or maybe the crane would have gone shooting out with the rubber band ~~

[KieferSkunk]

Even if they'd stretched out that giant rubber band further, the extra weight wouldn't be enough to counteract the force of air resistance against the band's larger surface area. In fact, snapping it harder would cause it to hit terminal velocity faster, and more energy would be expended in the acceleration than at medium tension. Thus, it probably wouldn't go even as far as it did.

[Trebis]

Indeed, far too elastic.

[fonzys2k]

the rubber band's elasticity was too much, the tension was too low and no matter how far they pulled it, it wouldn't fly that far. cool vid. A+ for effort LOL.

[onosendaiAAB]

They definitely should have fired someone in it.

[Nottidredd]

haha all that built up excitement for nothing.

[joshk1988]

they dudn't pull it back far enough! it would have worked if the tractor went back farther!

[nickandros]

How anticlimactic.

[Everfalling]

i bet they could have gotten further with a smaller rubber band, they just went over the limit.

[Kyceratops]

Ah spring of trivia. Lovely.

[chrisinsocalif]

aw damn! I thought it would kick azz! maybe they should make some adjustments and try it as an oversized balloon launcher.

[yugandali]

sure, but would you like to be the one to testride the balloon?

[bobdob243max]

Lol..

[marcuschi]

nice spam
