As an mechanical engineer I let out a thunderous "ENGINEERING" roar after finishing those videos. Gets me rock hard.

Wow. I'm surprised they did not blur this out.

As a gay man, i love a good top battle.
tekkblade
That is some amazingly low friction to allow those tops to spin for almost 20 minutes.
DeadlyFood
What material do they make the tops/pedestals from like damn, friction thats basically negligible for 17 minutes is insane
HydrochloricKitten
I think it was iron. It's tangentally stated in the video as they're walking through the Craftsmen's tip development @ 9:40

I dont understand, why is the lower guy look dissapointed? he won.

Designs look almost identical. Wonder if this came down to who has the better machining equipment

HydrochloricKitten
You can see tiny instability in the SpaceSpin one throughout, combined with a ball tip, it was losing energy faster than the other. 1/2
HydrochloricKitten
2/2 That said, SpaceSpin proved their point about round vs sharp in instability tolerance, as you can see when the Craftman's finally goes.
thrymn
Talking about how it looks smooth, then the second it starts to go it looks like it gives up entirely?

YourFriendBen
Feel that the only true way to make it completely fairly assessed are for the tops to be swapped from launchers and also from opposite posts
karmeaa
Exactly. In the beginning there is a clear failure on the right side.
RAGESTARVED
They should also have been manufactured on the same equipment, if they weren't already.
InappropriateCommentMachine
I assume manufacturing was part of the challenge
Falanxzealot
Further, this looks like it's in open air. With that kind of sustained spin, air currents, thermal fluctuations, all sorts of factors
DuckyofDeath123
Some context would make this from pretty cool into supremely awesome.

Basically, a contest for who could make the longest lasting spinning top. The whole video is very interesting

It don't blow up or burst into flames. You don't have to watch it behind reinforced plastic. It's not noisy. Can't drive it. Not candy red.

That all depends on what we're making..... I think if the category was Methamphetamine we'd do alright.

Fun fact, crystall meth was first synthesized by japanese chemist nagai nagayoshi.
OwlFarm
Because Americans are entertained by shit like Jersey Shore and Honey BooBoo.
MrTay
We do. We have like 10k channels. Discovery has like 200 I'm they have stuff like this all the time
Elroydb
It's called "How It's Made"
GoCorral
19 minutes of watching a top spin? I can't imagine why that wouldn't be syndicated. Would fit well with the "Watching Paint Dry" show crowd.
yesyoucancancan
Cos I'm not going to sit there and watch two spinning tops for 18 minutes.
justpointingouttheobvious
You think the average American is going to tune in for 19 minutes of watching a top spin?

It's on NHK world. I have it on AT&T uverse. I love it. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

NHK world is available on webstream and as mobile apps in the USA... no strings, watch it all the time.
encyclopediabritannica
Thanks Trump.
ABillionDucks
Uhh, we do. It's called beyblade.
Sipulikeitto
It's too intelligent show. US likes Honey Boo Boo and Kardashians.
Yamko
Lol the answer to that question will anger many Americans. This is the nation that watches kardashians and the bachelors. Lmao
icer22x
Because it doesn't sell. The people that actually watch TV would rather see a scripted slut-fest than learn anything about the world.
sciencebasedlifeform
GasBandit
Well, here they call it Beyblade.
Icecreaman
I believe the show is called beyblades
2001ASpaceOatmeal
People won't watch it. What the general public finds as entertaining is vastly different in the US compared to Japan.
Higure
I think the real difference lies in what the networks THINK people find entertaining.
2001ASpaceOatmeal
Sad really since Japan has some pretty cool shows.
OverpricedCrayon
It probably doesn't feel like it on the internet but that's a minority opinion amongst the general population of the US
Wlfpck
Ppl in here in the U.S. like shows such as Jersey Shore, Honey Booboo, keeping up with the kardashians, etc. Ratings show that. :(

I've suggested we should do a 1:1 swap of college football with college space programs but I'm not finding much agreement. :(
frookyfrook
I agree completely. That's the only way for America to compete in this new world. Not by bringing back coal jobs.

PandaSamurai
I wouldn't go *that* far. The American entertainment industry is just intently focused on what they know will work. So even if (1/?)
PandaSamurai
something *else* might work, even if it might even work miles better, most big studios won't be the first ones to try it. That's why (2/?)
PandaSamurai
there are still terrible sitcoms, clearly scripted and heavily edited reality TV shows, and a general lack of diversity. It's low-risk.
fenomas
Not that I've noticed. I'd say JP tv is ~99% crud, like the US or anywhere, it's just that the bottom 99% doesn't get exported very much.
SubtleOrc
Yeh for example "keeping up with the Kardashians"
SlightChungus
I shall upvote this because it is true
shhep
Have you ever watched Japanese TV? Half of the shows is twice as dumb as Kardashians.

Most people with stem backgrounds are conservative. Since most people probably voted along party lines.. A lot of people who would have>

Interest in a show about who can manufacture the best top, probably voted for Trump.

Where do you get "most people with STEM background are conservative?"

Came to type this exact comment. As An American...our culture shuns and scorns any form of intellect and we value..well stuff like Trump

As a Korean who is part of the "intellectual world", you guys are smart & we can be stupid. Suicide is high here cuz of misplaced values.
