Watching this on a Sunday with my kid! This show doesn't only bust myth, it also amplifies bonding times between generations.
❤😂
I wholeheartedly agree. Used to watch the show sometimes with my dad. He liked how they build and utilised the rigs and I was in for the explosions lol
My dad introduced me to this show, we used to watch it together
Yeah remember this back in the day of the 2000s was awesome memories ❤
Yes, just yes! Clean, interesting, educational
I think the most legendary quote from this series must be the adamant: "I reject your reality and substitute my own!"
Nope. It's "I'm so excited I turned Scottish!""
Am I missing an eyebrow? Jamie wants big boom
When in doubt, C4
"I'm so excited I turned Scottish!" 😂🤣
Am I the only one who is impressed by Adams circle drawing skills at 03:17 ? O.O
Adam is the kind of person who would take pride in, and work on, drawing great circles. It was really impressive, even more so that he was doing it flat on the table, not like the full arm swing you see others do on chalkboards... Tangent thought, have you seen Walter Lewin's dotted line technique on chalkboards?
One of the best mythbuster episodes.
Maybe, you should've asked Collin...
I'm not sure Collin had made his yet when this was filmed.
I'm starting to think they just made up this pirate episode to give Adam an excuse to do the pirate voice
Great episode! Never seen this one till today.
22:02 I love how you can see the shock diamonds in the exhaust flow
Is this the same Pulse Jet Santa "Bob" crazy to see him so much younger..But glad to see him still truckin on!!!
His channel is Robert Maddox, so it seems thats him. To feel old: This episode was first aired in April 2012.
10:07, the internet has ruined me lol
Narrator keeps talking about turbo charged but there is no turbo involved here
Climbing they werent holding the cages weight. The crane was lifting up the slack wich inevitably helps them
Isn't the bone cage swing portion flawed because they made it out of steel instead of bone? Perhaps it would have been easier to swing if it were much much lighter which it would have been if it were actual bone construction. I understand the impracticality of testing actual bone construction but it bugs me when they don't mention stuff like that even.
You can tell the disgust Jamie had that Adam got seasick on dry land.
"Drum, Methanol and a Flame" Having visited Southeast Asia, all I can say is, this recipe is actually a children's recipe for creating PVC Cannons and these things are loud af.
A lot of energy in that rocket was lost, the pulses were too short and there was not enough pressure, this very well could have worked
Greetings from Germanys V1 ;-)
Hi from NZ! 😊
problem is a bone cage wont weigh the same as the metal one
The swing is a little frustrating to see, is like these guys forgot how to be a kid
Kari...❤
Do a burnout pad outside for better donuts and for smoke saftey!!!
29:55 apparently Darth Vader never said Luke I am your father. Maybe when this was filmed Mandela effect haven’t taken place yet
INCREIBLE LA APARICION DE ESTE TIPO: www.youtube.com/@RobertMaddox
The alcohol barrel rocket attempt, just shows a total ignorance of physical properties of liquids in equilibrium with their vapour. There is this thing called “vapor pressure”, which is characteristic of each liquid and depends entirely on temperature. That is why the pressure inside a cylinder of propane or ammonia will remain the same all the way until there is a drop of liquid in the cylinder.
I don't know how relevant that is here given how it's an open system with combustion going on. The thrust does not come from vapor pressure but from the energy released by the combustion. The reason the empty barrel had more thrust is because it had a better fuel to air ratio. You can';t really have pressure in an open system, the pressure will be the same as the outside air.
If you're so much more intelligent, where's your videos? Seems like you watched a few physics videos (evidenced by your created playlist) and suddenly think you're a scientist.
