Actually no animation needed. Its just a whip. The energy from the long motion of the stroke is transferred to the shorter, therefore faster motion of the end unit whipping. |
|
|
And can we also make the ball explode? |
|
|
Of course! And that gives me an idea. |
|
|
Animation, or it didn't happen. |
|
|
I think I can actually find one already... stand by... |
|
|
Got it! (link) Play around with the relative rod lengths and masses. You'd use this to actually design the thing. |
|
|
On a whip, the tip is much narrower (ie, lighter) than the base of it. Would it work the same way with a heavier tip? |
|
|
Check it out, you can try different configurations for yourself! You can adjust the weight and length of each part. |

That website is really amazing. |
|
|
I think you'd basically call it a "whip bat" because that's what it is. |
