Kettlebells made out of . . . (?)

[faithinmet]

If iron has a density of 7.87g/cm[sup]3[/sup] (according to this website) then the volume of a 16kg kettlebell must be 2,033.04cm[sup]3[/sup], right? (Density x Volume = Mass)

So let's say you want a kettlebell the size of a normal 16kg bell, but made out of something else. Here's what it would weigh!

• Brass . . . 17.22kg / 37.96lb
• Cadmium . . . 17.67kg / 38.95lb
• Copper . . . 18.22kg / 40.16lb
• Molybdenum . . . 20.74kg / 45.72lb
• Lead . . . 22.97kg / 50.65lb
• Uranium . . . 38.83kg / 85.61lb
• Gold . . . 39.24kg / 86.50lb
• Tungsten . . . 39.24kg / 86.50lb (Tungsten weighs the same a gold?)
• Plutonium . . . 40.05kg / 88.30lb
• Neptunium . . . 41.07kg / 90.54lb

Let's go nerdy:

• Neutron star material . . . 203,303,684,879,288kg / 448,207,369,758,576lb

I bet @janie83 could still Cossack Squat that one.

Even nerdier:

• Vibranium . . . 0.81kg / 1.78lb
• Uru . . . 4.33kg / 9.55lb
• Kryptonite . . . 18.70kg / 41.24lb
• Adamantium . . . 205.68kg / 453.44lb

How I got the numbers: multiply the number from earlier-- 2.03304 (I moved the decimal to convert the result to kg) by the density of these other materials, it will show you how heavy a "16kg sized" kettlebell would be.

@faithinmet I didn't realize adamantium was that heavy. No wonder wolverine is so Jacked.

 

[asking_about_healing]

@sissikop Bro, he’s jacked regardless. Dude is 190lbs at 5’3 and appears to be in single digit body fat range. Motherfucker is just a damn muscle.

 

[tellmeaboutyou]

@asking_about_healing Yeah but extra jacked with constantly lifting adamantium limbs and healing power growing muscles on his muscles

 

[madbird]

@faithinmet So you madlad introduce us to a kb progression system with different materials? You really should make a webshop fast!

 

[fbgah]

@madbird The jump between lead and uranium would be a bit hard to handle (and the gold bell would cost about $2m in materials

 

[hollywoodbowles]

@fbgah Can't put a price on your health.

 

[madbird]

@fbgah Got the solution. Coat the uranium with lead. Depending on how much lead you decrease the weight and as a small benefit lead shields the ionizing radiation. Win win win.

 

[fbgah]

@madbird This is it! (+ another coating to avoid lead poisoning.)

@fbgah I really need a phosphorescent bell.

 

[faithinmet]

@madbird Let’s get Elon to put some venture capital in. He’s throwing money around lately.

@faithinmet BRB, protesting in front of KB kings headquarters until they make me a neptunium bell.

@faithinmet If you're into Tungsten (like me) you can buy a Tungsten Cube (like I did) https://midwesttungsten.com/tungsten-cube/

It's very expensive, very dense, and surprisingly cool.

 

[tellmeaboutyou]

@june1989 Cool cube but how do you swing it?

 

[dawn16]

@faithinmet I think there's an element called Oganesson that is also pretty damn heavy.

Go to Neptune or Jupiter and you could probably find something even heavier.

It could get to the point where all we have to do is put a ring on each middle finger made of some unknown element and swing our arms about and get abs like Thor.

 

[pamelakbd]

@faithinmet plutonium kettlebell for sure. nice round 40kg too

 

[janie83]

@faithinmet This should be good for resolving any supply chain constraints - lead and uranium bells? Count us in!
