I built a small-scale version of the SpinLaunch system and put it through its first round of testing to see whether the concept actually works on a DIY level. Watch along as I design, build, and launch this mini kinetic launcher — and learn what worked (and what didn’t). If you enjoy this kind of engineering build, make sure to subscribe and let me know your ideas and improvements for the next test!
