YouTubers from the Hacksmith channel who previously made a real lightsaber, this time decided to create the largest replica of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. After spending more than 2 thousand hours, they coped with the task.
The finished Mjolnir weighs 4,444 pounds, or just over 2 tons. The number was made so accurate as a joke: it's just that in English the number 4 (four) and the name of the Scandinavian god (Thor) sound quite similar.
What did they do with him next? They took a crane and began to drop it from a height of 7 to 30 meters onto various things. In particular, the hammer was dropped on whiskey barrels, metal barrels, a refrigerator, an old TV, a bunch of watermelons, an unfinished project that was abandoned by the customer, a pickup truck and other things.
Even the safe, protected from explosions, turned into a metal pancake under the weight of the hammer. And no wonder: according to calculations, the force of impact with such a hammer reaches 5 million N - this is as if the same objects were sharply pressured at 160 atm (equivalent to water pressure at a depth of 1.6 km).
A video about how this hammer was created (which, by the way, cost the team $100,000) was released on the same channel at the end of July.
The authors have not yet told what they are going to do with this hulk further - although it is difficult to imagine that they will find some use for it in everyday life.
