I'm sure it could be a good bludgeoning weapon though. The hole would reduce air resistance! Except it was designed for use in trench warfare where people didn't exactly beat each other with clubs.

they didn't know that yet, every military was assuming that you had to take the trenches by hand once you crossed no mans land, thats why pretty much every side had a variety of melee weapons in procurement or deployment

I don't know why he made a gyroscopic ax, what sort of mechanical advantage it offers, but I appreciate it.

It appears that he's utilizing rotational inertia to more easily raise such a heavy ax, and upon immobilizing the gyroscopic element gravity takes over

That is indeed it. Still, I can't understand why he did this. That axe would have been very easy to lift had he not attached a bunch of extra weight to it, and he still would have had all the ASMR bits just from the refinishing.


F = MA

F = (G)(m1)(m2)/r2


In this case, Bigger M = Bigger F

Someone’s welcome to take these two equations and do my homework here

If you can lift that axe with the weight on it, you’d achieve the same thing, but this skinny armed Japanese fella was able to lift it with the help of rotational inertia.

This did not negate the mass of the circular weight but it did some strange things along the distance of the shaft upon which the ax and weight were attached.

The sum of these effects being to aid the lifting of the mass which imparted some potential energy which was converted to kinetic energy when the spinning weight was immobilized and the sum of the masses were dropped to the earth with the aid of gravity

You’ll notice as he raised the ax he turned a couple of times, which is identical to the behavior of the model gyroscope featured in the video. This is a behavior of rotational inertia which as far as I know has only been utilized in things like Segways or proof-of-concept science toys

More like, assuming most of the acceleration is purely gravity,

Ε = mgh (potential energy) = 1/2 mv^2

Note the axe will have the same velocity at impact regardless of weight.

It is momentum, not energy, however, that matters in this physics.

p = mv

https://youtu.be/86TExbEAAhY

So yes, the massive axe will cut better per swing as momentum scales linearly with mass.

Thanks fella I been drinking

There is however an effect of the heavy mass as it’s distributed through the shaft:

imagine holding a normal ax by your finger and thumb, letting the ax head hang straight down. Now imagine holding this ax in the same way parallel to the ground.

Which do you think would be more easy?

yeah physics is pretty cool, the full and explicit diagram of the accelerating mass of the axe head along the path of the arc on a full swing alone is some fun poo poo to dissect, meanwhile this bizarre combination flywheel-ax could be a graduate level mechanics study
