This is one of the most dramatic HVOF tests ever caught on camera.
Inside a controlled industrial spray booth, a high-velocity HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) jet fires tungsten carbide particles at near-supersonic speed directly at a basketball — and what happens next is unreal.

The extreme kinetic energy instantly tears through the outer rubber shell, blasting the ball apart and exposing the inner layers. As the tungsten carbide jet continues to hit, the trapped air, rubber, and bonding materials inside the ball react violently, causing the interior to ignite and burn from within.

The result is an explosive mix of melting rubber, internal flames, pressure bursts, and intense industrial ASMR as the ball collapses and catches fire. It’s a rare look at how everyday sports materials behave under extreme industrial forces — something you almost never see filmed.

HVOF technology is normally used for coating aerospace and engineering parts, but here it’s used “just for fun” to showcase the raw destructive power of the process. Filmed safely with full PPE and strict industrial controls.
