Supersonic Baseball 1074MPH Mayonnaise Smarter Every day
Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day is no stranger to supersonic baseballs, but his latest stunt has him firing one at a gallon of extra heavy mayonnaise. This experiment involved the baseball cannon that was built for a previous stunt, which consists a giant pressure chamber and vacuum chamber fused together, with a plug as well as a ball separating the two.



The baseball cannon’s firing mechanism spans the entire length of the pressure chamber, and exits out back where it’s held in with a large pneumatic sear mechanism. When the latter is released, it starts the reaction between the two chambers, sending high-pressure nitrogen into the vacuum chamber, forcing the ball forward at supersonic speeds. Let’s just say that the gallon of mayonnaise is completely unrecognizable after being hit by the baseball.
