Integza, makes amazing stuff

His 3D printed rocket engines from years past are always such an interesting watch

u/RealisticAdv96 1d ago

"years past" damn time flies by sometimes

u/DAB7175 1d ago

Yeah, sure does. The contrast between the early days of "passionate science profesor" Nikola Tesla cosplayer and the present day "mad scientist with child-like wonder" Jon Arbuckle is astounding

Yeah his name isn't "this guy"

u/frogkabobs 1d ago

Unfortunately, using generic terms in a title tends to catch a wider audience because titling it with the creator’s name might make people who are unfamiliar with them think they are missing some context (so why should they care?). That said, I do think it’s the duty of the poster to provide the actual creators name somewhere, because it’s respectful both to the creator and the people who may be interested in seeing more. Also Integza’s video is just amazing.

u/Dankduck77 18h ago

I was expecting idat, but integza also makes sense. Both excellent channels, though.

This is a super sledge prototype from fallout universe.

u/Dramatic-Avocado4687 1d ago

Very cool. I wonder how far those pieces of wood are flung around after the impact though.

u/crazytib 1d ago

The original video on YouTube does cover that actually. Good thing op credited the creator of the video in their post

u/Playful_Smoke_7271 1d ago

It's ok. He's wearing safety goggles.

u/nikiminajsfather 1d ago

As soon as I saw this I thought of the boom hammer lol.

14

u/Lunar_IX 1d ago

Looking at these comments and wondering: do people actually think this is a product? Yeah, it probably is dangerous... That's why it isn't something you can buy and was custom made for Internet points and fun engineering experiments.

Take a breath. The only person in any danger at all is the guy holding the thing and it has likely already been dismantled.

You are all going to be okay... The boom-boom axe can't hurt you.

u/Pleasant-Chef6055 1d ago

I think that’s the most expensive way I’ve ever seen to split wood

2

u/ReaperofFish 1d ago

No, but a unique 3d printed Axe head is not exactly cheap.

5

u/MarlinMr 1d ago

I mean, it only cost like $0.7 per round

u/Traditional-North682 1d ago

Seems like a good way to get an axe to the face

4

u/BucketsAndBrackets 1d ago

Yep, but that is the reason why he stood far away while testing it.

But that smile on the end is our typical male sound when we see "for my male audience" videos.

17

u/BolunZ6 1d ago

The activation of the bullet seems too late, without counter force it + hard surface it would bounce the axe back to the user. OSHA would have a stroke if they saw that axe

18

u/Extreme_Design6936 1d ago

The vents kinda go out to the sides. If the axe does not bite into the material the vents expel the gas out the sides with no real recoil to the user.

u/InverseMidasTouch 1d ago

It reminds me of the patrol powered pogo stick that also kinda ignited too late but your body would absorb the shock.

1

u/frogkabobs 1d ago

That’s fair, but the point of the explosion is the blow the pieces of wood apart sideways, not increase the strength of the axe swing

u/DeliciousBeginning95 1d ago

And there it is... The good old redditor coming in with the everything is dangerous and stupid

4

u/Traditional-North682 1d ago

Well… yea. But this really does look particularly dangerous and stupid 😂

15

u/Koya2 1d ago

Literaly the creator at the start of the video: "I know that this looks dangerous and stupid, but I think that is only dangerous"

3

u/freekoout 1d ago

Did you watch the video? He tested it very safely before trying it himself and it worked perfectly.

u/frogkabobs 1d ago

One thing I appreciate about the video is how many times he stresses DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME NOT EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL. Yes it’s a little hypocritical, but he really makes it clear that this can so easily go wrong.

u/Jenova__Witness 1d ago

As a kid my brother in law and myself made weapons out of PVC pipe, glue and insulation. I had dreamed of making a hammer with a mechanism of firing a cork from the top of the hammer in some way. This guy is living my dream in some ways hahaha

u/Pixel_Nerd92 1d ago

I hear this is a pretty good weapon to unlock, but the side quests to get it are kinda nuts.

u/ppardee 1d ago

Calling Integza "this guy" is like calling Bernie "some politician".

2

u/BigGrayBeast 1d ago

My father's buddies machined a pipe with one closed end and a fuse hole. They would fill it with black powder, pound it into a log, block it in with another log, then light the fuse.

Instant split firewood.

u/FkNgCrAzY1982 1d ago

Now make it semi automatic. For science.

Requires 40 seconds to reload.

u/Puskaruikkari 1d ago

Perfectly balanced.

u/Valthoren 1d ago

It's interesting, but I don't see how having to reload your axe after every swing is go make it any easier or faster to chop up a pile of wood.

u/PN_Guin 1d ago

This is just a prototype. The next iteration gets pump action reloading.
