"Our death ray doesn't seem to be working, I'm standing right in it and I'm not dead yet" - Jamie
Do you think Jamie occasionally looks up what Adam is up to and says, "Wow, he's still talking"
I don't think Jamie would be surprised, he knows the man well enough that this youtube channel is just an extension for Adam to keep talking. As a "Jamie" personality, I have a couple "Adam" type personalities I'm friends with and get along with great. Thing is I hang out with them, see them a few hours a week, maybe go on a weekend trip or something. And they do listen, they aren't the types to talk over you(which would instantly make them not friends). I'd imagine though working 60-70 hours a week with them, I'd get real tired of their asses lol, just like Jamie and Adam.
Lol😂
@AaronSmith-kr5yf I just realized I'm the Adam friend
I wouldn't be surprised if Jamie never used the internet except for work..
@@The_Omegaman ha, good call
I now expect New Mexico Tech to get several thousand applications from students wanting to major in "blowing shit up".
I really hope their title is master of explosions
I have a friend who's doing a post-doctorate in "blowing shit up"
How fast would a wet noodle need to go to be lethal is a fucking amazing question. I would pay so much to have seen you guys do that
You’d never get it to the speeds it’d take to kill. Just no way.
i think, the noodle will disintegrate from air resistence before it reaches lethal speed.
Things are different in a vacuum, but you have to accelerate slow enough, or the noodle becomes paste.
@@caligo7918 at some point I would think that paste is still deadly
@@RallyRallyRally but it's not a wet noodle anymore ;)
I had to pause the video because I was giggling like an idiot at that. A perfectly dumb question for the programme!
Jamie seems like he is unintentionally hilarious.
According to Adam Jamie is the Master of the 'dirty joke'. If anyone from the team was going to tell a risque joke on set, it would be Jamie. & he did it in such a deadpan way. That his delivery only added to the funniness of the joke.
☆Edited for spelling error - So sorry I'm dyslexic & it happens sometimes. 😖 ☆
he is also frequently intentionally hilarious
He was talking about those bomb sniffing dogs lol... if they started barking I hope they would say "go ahead and search us but just 1 favor please. Can you let the president know the mythbusters are here and the bomb sniffing dogs don't want to let them inside, I think he will enjoy hearing that 🤣"
"If my couch looked like Angelina Jolie I'd fuck it" 🤷♂️🤦♂️
after you watch enough Mythbusters it becomes clear that Jamie was _very intentionally_ hilarious.
As an alumni of NM Tech (BSEE in '95), I was so happy to see that small, relatively inexpensive with top-notch education college get some limelight on Mythbusters! Walking around campus with an occasional BOOM from "M" Mountain was...just....cool.
Mythbusters was likely one of the most important educational / entertainment series on any medium in decades. It reached an audience that was and is huge and influenced a generation of young minds into becoming scientists and engineers.
Hell I was in my mid twenties and it changed my life, I'm building carboard stuff with my 7 & 5 year old kids now because of this show.
I missed my STEM calling, but they sure as hell won't, the have building stuff already and if my 5yr old son doesn't toss or something we do it again.
Except Lego's, those things are from hell when you have kids under 10..lbvs.
But yeah Mythbusters is literally the show I'll watch bored & let my kids watch while asking questions...
It's just a great show
Educational? No, they messed up the science on many occasions. But entertaining?? Certainly!!! One of the best series of all time.
I always thought the intense time-scheduling of the President in “The Fifth Element” was a bit of goofiness, but apparently not!
You have 20 seconds...
I can attest to the insane scheduling as well. A few years ago I was one of one hundred people to get a photo with the president at the White House. We were all lined up in our groups of two and shuffled in with the president for a 30 second photo op. Despite the fact that the lead up that day took hours, once the line started moving it took conservatively less than an hour start to finish. It was clear that sort of thing happens on a regular basis.
It's real, I drove in a Presidential motorcade. President Obama moved and everything shifted around him.
Your comments on Obama are quite interesting Adam. Caveat, I'm Canadian and have no real knowledge of American politics.
While in office he always appeared to me to be a highly intelligent man who wanted everyone to pull the same direction on the rope to make the world a better place. Didn't matter if the direction was his, as long as it was the right one. He also came across as someone I'd love to have as my neighbour. (Not because it would mean my house was worth 20 or 30x is value.) He just seems like a genuinely nice individual, who ACTUALLY GIVES A DAMN. Something all of our politicians need to learn and aspire to.
Love getting this insight l on your careers and experiences. Though we come from different backgrounds, we are strangely similar.
@@michaelholmes4808 exactly my feelings. It's a shame so much of the country was against him. Imagine what he could have done with bipartisan support.
So many great stories! What's great is how fondly he looks back on these. Its not just having fun at your job or making the most of it, Adam seems like he really enjoyed nearly everything about it and got to do what is a lot of peoples dream job, so Its awesome that even after the show ended hes still sharing those experiences and keeping the show alive in that way.
That felt really good to hear, that last message. The feeling of being with a crew of people all pulling on the same rope to make humanity better. I really needed that. Thank you.
"Exnay talkn' about the omsbay...." I almost fell out of my chair laughing. That was golden. Thank you!!!
Same 😂😂
You an Jamie an the crew helped mine an my dad's relationship a lot we use to sit down together an watch ur show.
Same here. I remember when I was 10-11-12 and watching mythbusters and American Chopper with my dad and it was awesome. We bonded a lot before that but that was like OUR time that we were both exited for. Miss it.
I used to joke that I was raised by Homer Simpson but really Adam and Jamie were more like my 2 dads in the early naughts.
I now often watch tested with my 2 kids aged 9 and 11 and the other day we watched the nerf James Bond intro Adam made which led us down a rabbit hole to which the end was having a family movie night watching Goldfinger - a 58 year old movie and the kids loved it!!! Thanks Adam and tested
we need one more episode of mythbusters......i would pay you to get everyone back together just for this silly awesomeness
I *REALLY* hope they do a 25th anniversary special episode.
It is so sad that Grant won't be there though. 😢
@@ArwenAngel1 Well, there is two of them dead now. Remember Jessi Combs during the time Kari was out for maternity leave? She died in a land speed record attempt that went catastrophically wrong in 2019. She was posthumously awarded the land speed record in 2020...
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 ... it didn't look like rain today.
I feel like Adam would become great friends with colin furze, that would be an absolutely awesome web series!
@Mck Idyl Tunneling / mining has calmed Colin's buffoonery considerably lately. I used to think the same you did, now his videos are much better with less dumb crap in them. They're still a little "over the top" sometimes, but I understand probably not for his target audience (mostly kids), so whatever - I put up with it.
@Mck Idyl if wisdom was a tree………
@Mck Idyl how is he a buffoon?
@Mck Idyl Adam is 100% a clown. He is always pranking colleagues and friends. (which is why they pranked him back albeit a bit too far with the shock). Colin has a wild personality, but he isn't dangerous to work with. I can guarantee Adam has done far more risky things than Colin has in his shed. I think when you put two people together, they find a medium balance naturally anyway. People naturally mimic and adapt (like how some people find themselves accidentally mimicking accents on the phone) so together, I think they would find a nice working relationship. It would make for a great couple of collab videos.
I doubt it would work… they’re both pretty strong personalities and I think it would not be a pleasant cooperation for long. Could be interesting for a one-off though
That New Mexico Tech air cannon with feeders which accelerated an object up to insane speeds sounds like the V3 or the London Gun which would use a series of timed explosions feeding into a central tube behind a projectile to launch it high and far enough to hit London from I think somewhere close to France's border with Germany which was the longest range achieved by artillery during WW2
Big-ass flechettes.
More likely it was a light gas gun.
Quick Google didn't find anything . Anyone know how fast it actually can shoot and what it's called?
@@kristmadsen I found a PDF of the EMRTC at NMT which states on page 8 that the two-stage light gas gun with a 1.5 inch diameter lauch tube can accelerate projectiles to velocities greater than 21,000 feet per second (14,300 mph, 23,000 km/h, 6,400 m/s).
@@germansnowman I JUST WANT ONE! Maybe we can reach the Kremlin from Sweden?
I suggested a myth on the message boards about Oddjob’s hat cutting a statue and then you guys did it. I was so excited when I saw the episode
The one Myth I always wanted tested was the Tailspin "Pineapple in rotor blade, perfect slice" myth...
I used to go to New Mexico Tech. It was a fun little collage. There were always an occasional explosions, some fairly large. There is also some explosively welded artwork around as well. The explosions have tapered off over the years.
I literally laughed out loud when you said about Jamie wanting to see how fast a noodle would have to go, to be lethal...lol..maybe you could do a reunion and got to New Mexico to do just that. it would be both hilarious and cool to see at the same time.
I have watched the video of the original rocket sled probably hundreds of times. Adam's reaction was one of the greatest moments in TV history for me. Purely awe struck. lol
I instantly laughed so hard I choked when you said what Jamie's suggestion was! 😂😂
Adam: done in 17 minutes, amazing efficiency!
Obama's aides: shit, we are now two minutes behind schedule. Better cancel the next bathroom break.
I couldn’t wait to get home from school to watch myth busters. Non of my mates or family had any interest in it but I was glued to the inspiring content you Jamie ,Tory, Grant and Carrie delivered to use Curios individuals. (Don’t know how her name is spelt). I wish It was rebooted. Love your new path but fantastic content.
What a heartfelt video I wasn't expecting.
My favourite of many was the noise when you blew up a fully loaded cement truck in a quarry and watched it from across the valley. The noise of that shock wave beat hands down any sci fi blaster noise!
7:04 Your last comment was so heartwarming; I teared up with you
Love listening to you Adam...
For the kids to film on a weekday all they should have said is "Educational Field Trip"
It's a day of learning about science and behind the scenes of TV.
That's what I was thinking
I'd love to see a lethal noodle. But it wouldn't really stay a noodle under that pressure.
Yeah. The air molecules would disintegrate it unless it was in a vacuum devoid of any other atoms, I suppose. You couldn't shoot it. You'd maybe push it in said vacuum, but even then its own molecules would pulverize itself too. Maybe the scientists at CERN could figure out how.
Thinking even with a proper sabot the noodle would vaporize.. 👍
@@chartle1 Noodle Delivery Discarding Sabot
Say Adam man, your humbleness combined with your unquenchable thirst for answers to whatever comes to your mind, and the minds of your millions of fans is awesome to be a part of achieved by the interwebs. You're a man who's smart up to the level where you have to seek the knowledge, and that's the definition of a scientist if there ever was one. I wish I could hang out with you with nothing in the que, and you and I could think up something to create and build. LOVE YOU MAN. MANY MORE YEARS OF SUCCESS TO YOU AND ER'BODY THAT SURROUNDS YOU WHO JUST MAKE IT WORK. ✌🏿

Won’t post link to the PDF as comments with links often get deleted, but should be easy to find.
If YOU could put one more thing in front of the rocket sled, what would it be?

A lump of coal, or pure carbon, to see if you could instantaneously create a diamond.
I'd *LOVE* to see an unopened tin can full of refried beans hit the plate at that speed for two reasons. One to see if the can would flatten or shatter/explode on impact. My suspicion is that it will explode. & two because the mess I think it will make. When it explodes would look *AMAZING* on the high speed camera. 🤣
My neighbor?
They also have a rocket sled at white sands.
The gas guns Accelerate stuff to 7500 meters per SECOND. Or about 16,700ish meters per second.
*16,700ish miles per hour.
I think the trick is, you don't accelerate the wet noodle. You accelerate the test subject INTO a stationary wet noodle.
😂😂😂
For us (techs, students, science lovers etz,) you are filmstarts Jamie and Adam!
Adam,
If you're lookiing for people that blow things up in England try the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in Buxton, England. Buxton is just outside of Manchester.
I was there to witness the testing of detonation arrestors. Detonation arrestors are required for the isolation of tankers and shore facilities to prevent a detonation in vapor recovery lines. At the time I was there, the concept of stopping a detonation traveling through a 16" pipe going from ship to shore or vice versa was in it's infancy. HSE set up a pipe of sufficient length to have an explosive gas mixture ignited by a spark plug at one end. The ignition created a flame which was able to reach speeds faster than the speed of sound prior to reaching the arrestor. There was a small length of pipe with a plastic bag downstream of the arrestor. If the gas downstream ignited the arrestor failed. If the flame stopped at the arrestor it passed.
The test facility was adjacent to a tunnel, if I remember correctly, with jet engines at one end. The tunnel had a layer of coal dust on the floor. The HSE tested ways to reduce the damages and to protect miners in the event of a mine explosion.
They showed us the remains of a mockup of the escaltors in a subway station that had a fire that was accelerated by the push of the trains approaching the station.
The people there were errily brilliant in their ability to not only model disasters and to find solutions. What a great way to spend a career, blowing things up and finding ways to mitigate the results.

"Ixnay on talking about the ombsbay in the itehousewhay". I laughed so much at that it hurt.
He's hilarious and a great story teller.
I think my job would absolutely max out in the theoretical happiness meter if I got to spend my day discussing ways to get a wet noodle to 10,000 MPH to see if it would be deadly. Just can't think of a better use of my time xD
I loved hearing about the efficiency of the White House scheduling! I sincerely doubt I will ever be close to experiencing any interaction with those people so its very cool to hear you share your experiences!
It's funny you mention Clinton, because I actually *did* meet him, very very briefly. As kid being held in my mother's arms during a rally of his in Toledo. He ruffled my hair and it was one of my earliest memories.
The best part of the president thing was seeing Jamie choke up - that was so adorable!
The rocket sled was the coolest thing I've ever seen! I never thought I'd see an entire car just turn into POWDER like that.
The concept of a lethal wet noodle is just SO amazingly out there! Some day it must be tried. I'd pay to see it. And Jamie's comment about the bomb sniffing dogs near made me fall out of my chair.
I did meet Obama once - when he was running for US Senate, he was doing some hand shaking at the suburban train station I took to go to work, in Chicago. I guess the charisma switch was off that morning, maybe due to lack of coffee or the cold. I wasn't impressed.
A fiend and I were hanging out on 53rd and 3rd in NYC one beautiful afternoon in April. It was right after 9/11 around...about a year later. We noticed a person coming out of the firehouse that was stationed at the corner. Mobs of people starting forming because it was Bill Clinton. My friend and I got really close to him. Enough to shake his hand. But the crowd he generated in less than a few minutes was incredible. He shook everyones hands, inlacing mine!!! But the way he worked the crowd was incredible. He definitely exuded charisma! He lived up too that charisma that everyone talked about! And the people were cheering including the fireman like it was a rock star or movie star!!! Yeah that was a memorable day! One I will never forget!
I think someone should have slapped him. Seeing as how he could have prevented the whole thing. But I guess he was too busy banging interns.
I think it would be interesting to see whether a wet noodle traveling through a normal atmosphere can achieve a lethal impact without being fragmented into a high-velocity paste by wind resistance. Even assuming we're talking about something like penne which is obviously more easily weaponized than say spaghetti.
A wet noodle at 10,000mph would have just been a starchy water jet, and those can cut steel.
So, my question is this. People use the saying hit like a wet noodle, but... What transfers more kinetic force: a wet noodle or a dry noodle?
I love that I found you on TH-cam!
Despite being such a silly question, knowing the sense of humor of those on the show it would be TOTALLY up their alley to test.
Fascinating.
The incredible years of television history of Mythbusters is as plenty as Adam's enthusiastic snippets from that awesome past. And we always like to hear BTS stuff from Mythbusters... 😁😎👍
New Mexico Tech is not exactly at the middle of nowhere, but I swear you can see it from in front of the golf course club house.
(from a former KTEK radio disc jockey.)
Most of the state is impressively empty. I live in city sprawl now, and the idea that I could drive past buildings the whole time and end up in technically a different city felt flat-out disorienting for years. I miss the ability to walk out to an overlook near my house and just feel the emptiness hitting me, nothing but mesas for 30 miles until I saw a bit of Santa Fe on the horizon. Out here I have to go somewhere to be nowhere, and on a nice day everyone else has gone there too.
"You fall under [Bill Clinton's] spell, apparently. For better and for worse." 😂😂😂
Adam you're definitely one of my top people I was I could sit down and pick their brain.
I LOVED this episode.
Rocket sled was easily my most favorite episode.
"...every time i went there." Yeah, thank the Maker that you didn't have to go there during the reign of the Kakistocratic regime. One could probably scoop the neurons in the building in a thimble.
"...in New Mexico of all places..." LOL that's right, NM ROCKS.
Man that would have been the best episode
The problem with a wet noodle is, of course, that it would tear apart before it got fast enough to puncture someone. That aside, you could totally do it with the right equipment.
I don't think Adam meant for that comment about Bill to be as hilarious as it was. But I laughed out loud pretty damn hard.
No, I think it was exactly what Adam intended. As much as I liked what Clinton's administration did, that much charisma is pretty dangerous.
Have you run into the OT 1250L flashlight? I found a heavily used one and if it’s not a lightsaber I don’t know what is
I love that they saw explosive-happy guys doing explosive stuff on tv and said ''they should meet the president and do an episode''
I mean, I know the president never saw it or anything but still 😂
I would imagine that a wet noodle would break apart before it could go fast enough to be lethal. That or the impact at a speed where it could be lethal would cause it to disintegrate on the target causing minimal damage. At that point it would be like how fast could the disintegrated foam be lethal.
What he is talking about is a light gas gun many universities have them and there are videos on TH-cam of their operation if anyone was wondering.
Nice jobs,thanks share
Now I'm curious what type of noodle would be used. Macaroni, spaghetti, penne, rotinni (a Jawa's favorite pasta), egg noodle? Heh heh.
Still my FAVORITE show (now that we’ve lost Alex Trebek). I watch MythBusters everyday that it’s available.
"but I wanted to be the baseball"
-jamie
Interesting and a good laugh.
Ixnay on the talking about the omsbay. Outstanding.
Doesn't the space shuttle hit speeds of like 15,000 MPH during launch into space? 10k-12k MPH is pretty crazy.
I have a feeling the wet noodle would lose all structural integrity well before even Mach 1. But the noodle matter itself would probably be lethal. Hell, the airflow of the cannon itself is probably lethal.
Hey, maybe you can get Destin from Smarter Everyday to see if his Mach 1 air cannon will be enough force to do damage. Or maybe it'll just get obliterated like the baseballs he's been using as ammo. lol
THAT might be interesting. It feels right up his alley.
I think I suggested that spoofing James Bond with twin head-mounted Nerf Gatling guns was the most absurd thing you ever did. Upon hearing that you considered firing a wet noodle at supersonic speed, I’m thinking, opportunity missed.
Damn id love to see a wet noodle fly at mach 15. It would probably vaporize but still would be awesome to see.
That air cannon can have velocities up to 6400 m/s apparently. That's Mach 18,7 at sea level.
And years later a certain building in either the uk or usa , proved the death ray ... well it wasn't meant to but many a car and road surface suffered ....
Note on terminology: In one of my other interests (fountain pens), the term 'wet noodle' is a very common way to describe a particular type of vintage, very flexible, gold nib. This may help with lethality 😉
The Wet Noodle theory is like the 2" x 4"'s that go through concrete walls in hurricanes.
I mean, relativistic blob of strawberry jam will fuck you up badly in your battleship, so ... yeah.
😂
Awesome adam savage
I expect to see a pinned comment soon from NM tech stating the highest speed at which their air cannon will accelerate.
Mythbusters the greatest show to ever air
Dr. Harold "Papa Flash" Edgerton, popularizer and developer of electronic flashes, desired to photograph bats flying and needed to catch them in a perfect spot -- used a "worm shooter" to use a puff of air to place that worm in the same spot every time. Goal achieved!
So shoot that wet noodle sequence now.
Maybe some day someone will do the wet noodle. Would love to hear about it.
I think if the working together issues with Jamie weren't present they would have had more seasons,perhaps wouldn't have kept going till now..but who knows.
0:55 I feel like being able to get a phd in explosives is the most merican thing ever.
also 6:19 do you remember if a(n) dog(s) suddenly sat?
The question is, do you own any piece of the first test dummy (BASTER 0.0) and how many were completely destroyed?
Sabot would have done the job for the wet noodle. Though might have had to be a special design.
Charisma?
Watching your videos creates in me the same feeling about you.
You guys are Adam and Jamie. Who says you can't do that!?! All you gotta do is ask.
For real, who could say no to those two?
@@TartRedFruitthe white house, apparently.
I miss working for NMT’s Blowing Shit Up department. Here’s to EMRTC
I was lucky enough to drive in a motorcade for President Obama. I remember when he came in the room to meet us you could feel his charisma as a physical sensation. I felt him in the room before I saw him.
Damn, where do I apply?! I wanna major in blowing shit up!
whats ur fav mb episode
If you had access to a metal 3d printer...what would you print?
I made a homemade D&D tv table after watching u make ur poker table would love for u to tell me what u think
For better and for worse :-D Good one Adam
You should talk to Destin at smarter every day, he has an air cannon like that. Maybe you could test that wet noodle.
According to Rick Robinson's First Law of Space Combat, "An object impacting at 3 km/sec delivers kinetic energy equal to its mass in TNT."
