How fast is the fastest Nerf dart? Will it break the sound barrier? Well... Yes, it does, 2.3 times the speed of sound at standard conditions.
Pretty insane...
In this episode, I Mythbuster up and measure the speed the dart travels. The hight speed camera I currently have it's pretty bad but things are about to change soon, stay tuned!
My calculations are approximations but pretty close to the actual numbers.
I'm planning to make a version two of this cannon. I have a couple of ideas to make it even faster... Banana! (I remember you guys... ;)
