Load a ring with keys, tie it to a length of cord or fasten it to the end of a chain, and then swing it with speed into the palm of your hand. <br /><br />Remember that the relation of force to weight is 1:1. That is, if you double the weight, you double the force.<br /><br />By way of contrast, force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. In other words, double the velocity & you will quadruple the force; triple the velocity, and you will increase the force 9 times.Craig Muttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101854366269262430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237107568980307385.post-73192769305166390162010-04-11T01:22:33.867-04:002010-04-11T01:22:33.867-04:00OK--point taken, but I'm going to illustrate m...OK--point taken, but I'm going to illustrate my lack of knowledge in physics (oh, bother!) and say if it were a medieval mace ball it would be killer; but will the various keys, all separate pieces of metal, deflect and absorb force too much to be as effective as a stout iron ball might be?The Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913395878452283876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237107568980307385.post-61525666528511082772010-04-09T23:04:26.979-04:002010-04-09T23:04:26.979-04:00The impact you generate will depend on two things:...The impact you generate will depend on two things: 1) the weight of your keys; 2) the velocity at which they make contact. <br /><br />Say you have 4 oz of keys on your ring. That's a quarter of a pound. Do you think you could do serious damage with a quarter-pound brass ball on the end of a chain?Craig Muttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101854366269262430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237107568980307385.post-82099649440006120232010-04-09T22:55:51.360-04:002010-04-09T22:55:51.360-04:00Hmm, never thought of it in that use.

Do you think it could do serious damage, though? Just a question....<br /><br />I sometimes use fresh new keys to punch or hit against my knuckles in order to roughen up my skin....The Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913395878452283876noreply@blogger.com
