Colin Furze - Grappling Hook - General

[video=youtube;4OyoWAZEcIE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OyoWAZEcIE[/video] [video=youtube;arbNxONg88c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arbNxONg88c[/video] Yeah, Syndicate looks like a terrible game, but that doesn't make Colin's vidoes any less cool. Actually really surprised that it appears to work.

Colin is a crazy engineer guy. Most of the stuff he mans is fascinating.

It makes it even better that he doesn't even have education as an engineer, he was a plumber or something I think.

For the stuff he does people don't get education, they just need practice and a good head. Can't wait for his 3rd part, I wonder if he'll manage to up the power so it goes a little faster.

crossover with slingshot channel please

I remember the mythbusters episode on this. Basically you can't shoot very far because it would break your arm, and you cannot get winched up quickly for the same reason. Best we can hope for is short distance, slow winch. Maybe if we had some sort of exo-suit that distributed the force better, but short of that a grappling hook is anatomically unfeasible.

Grappling hooks like this are fixed to the arm, and at the same amount of force that the shock of a parachute could produce would tear arm out of the shoulder socket, if not not fracturing the elbow while at it.

It would be nice if youtubers could actually follow the laws regarding native advertisement/sponsored work. Putting in the very bottom of the description which is automatically hidden is not adequate for the new rules. [quote]This video was made with the support of Ubisoft.[/quote]

Why does it really matter? Its painfully obvious that they sponsor him, just like his other videos on the Tuk Tuk from Farcry.

[QUOTE=Karmah;48921392]Why does it really matter?

The fact that I had to check, and the only reason why I thought to check was because of its cooincidental timing with another Ubisoft sponsored "advertisement", is in itself testiment to how poorly disclosed this sponsorship deal is.

At least he is doing something constructive with his sponsorship

As a person majoring in manufacturing, his welding and lathing are beautiful, and his process of building makes me jealous.

[QUOTE=Cpt.Funkymonk;48921800]As a person majoring in manufacturing, his welding and lathing are beautiful, and his process of building makes me jealous.[/QUOTE] he hasn't been doing it long either. I remember a while back he did some hydroforming with a pressure washer and he just laid porous booger welds that leaked like crazy

a power armor

[QUOTE=General J;48921004]crossover with slingshot channel please[/QUOTE] And then they build an actual minigun that fires needles.

And why does it matter, especially considering he does actually disclose it.
