The sinking ship.......you 100% can be taken down when the boat goes down. I have experienced this when my friend's boat sank while near tybee island in georgia. I got pulled about 20ft down
From basic physics it will depend on the displacement of the object and the rate of descent. I'd say this one is "plausible" becuase one test showed the phenomenon and the other test showed their conditions weren't sufficient to cause it (and that it would be a rarity for it to happen).
The trombone rocket is my favorite! That's a performance I can get behind! The 1812 overture is a great piece of music. It makes the cannon an official orchestral instrument!!! I've played the chainsaw on stage professionally, not bad! But let's talk about the unsung hero on this episode; The drill bit at 4:30. That has to be the most tolerant and forgiving drill bit ever!!!
Kind of funny to see US military orchestra (with US flags and all) performing an overture that commemorates Russia's victory against Napoleon's army in 1812. It is indeed impressive though.
The effects of the way the titanic sank was different depending on what half you're talking about the Bow sank gradually filling up each room equally to the rate of the sinking the stern sunk rapidly and had air pockets which imploded if you were above the stern when it went under and those are Pockets imploded there would have been suction if you are on the bow when it went under the only risk you are under for being sucked into the Titanic was from the wooden framed windows breaking around the grand staircase
Man I miss Heather Joseph-Witham. I get that her role didn't really gel with the rest of the show as it went on but she was a nice addition to explain what was going on before all the science and shenanigans landed.
She was awful and I hated her, and most people are on my side. You can tell the rest of the cast thought she was a POS because they never invited her to anything on-camera and clearly loathed even the idea of actually interacting with her.

i'm not so sure about the science. 5 episodes after this one (i can't find it on this channel) they play at testing whether a construction worker carrying a sheet of plywood could be picked up from the top of the building by a gust of wind and deposited a few floors below. all they did was drop buster from a crane. they didn't even use a proper accelerometer, instead they stuck a glass ball filled with fake blood into his head. i'm not so sure the glass balls made very accurate accelerometers, and they seem to have completely forgotten what they learned from "penny from the empire state building" myth, that is, how wind interacts with tall buildings to create updraft. this updraft was absent from the experiment, and no mention was made AT ALL about what updraft wind-speed would be needed to exert 200lbs (estimated combined weight of percentile man plus plywood) of pressure on a full sheet of 5-ply (32 square feet). wind velocity squared * 0.00256 = pounds per square foot. so with a 50mph wind and 32sqft surface, 50*50*.00256*32=204.8 lbs. what i wanna know is if that amount of updraft is possible, and then using a large fan to move the air upward at that speed, would buster, WITH A PROPER ACCELEROMETER, survive the drop while hanging from a sheet of plywood? THEN add the slapstick and send jamie and adam off a roof with a sheet of plywood over an updraft (of course harness them into a bungee rig in case they slip their grip)
7:50 Fish store guy says goldfish must have bad memories because their brains are only 2% of their body weight. Human brains are also 2% of our body weight! Wish they called that out.
The thing about the earlier seasons is that they have limited consultation with engineers and scientists and did not fully do the maths beforehand, hence failing the sinking ship test
You know they still don't have the knowledge here about buoyancy when you realized that they actually did one part of the myth again here on the later seasons, "Can bubbles make you sink?" They were using a complicated build here, but on the "Can bubbles make you sink" myth, Jamie had the simplest idea to use a custom whoopie cushion to produce bubbles and use a tube to make a human simulation for the buoyancy subject.
That boat was not near large enough to create any suction. Its not the boat moving through the water that creates the suction, its the water rushing into the air filled voids that creates the suction. That boat had no air in it and filled directly with water.
always wanted to say this when i watched it as a kid. but if the trombonist burnt their lips, it means his mouth was most likely plugging one end. the slide wouldn't shoot off without pressure building up from his lips blocking the other end i'd suspect. also this slide looked fairly dry, they lube them up quite well.
I'm a german historican and I can say: Plausible to Confirmed. He actually enacted several very strict laws against animal cruelty - now I don't know the exact content of said laws (but I might actually look this up now, the mention made me curious..), but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it included Goldfish welfare too. They had several such laws and orders on the go, including orders to soldiers given at a certain little town called Auschwitz, about maintaining nature 'in a proper, civilized way, for the wellfare of all', after some men of the Wehrmacht were seen destroying bushes for funsies.. (sounds absolutely insane, but it's true - klingt komisch, is' aber so ^^")
This guy at the pet store set them up for failure. They were torturing the fish with the amonia in the tank not being removed by the beneficial bacteria.
I'd rather call the sinking ship suction myth plausible, not busted. That tugboat or the SV Jalapeño just weren’t big enough. The bigger the ship, the bigger the displacement, thus the greater the risk of desorientation or getting pulled under.
the trombone thing though... "his lips burned", that means you have back pressure from the othe side that also corresponds with the slide. was there proper back pressure for that? it can't be completely busted...
the difference in density is minuscule. My opinion is that you COULD be sucked in if the sinking ship released lots of air in a bubble column. The aerated water would be MUCH less dense and you would descend quickly. Waste treatment facilities use aeration to separate the liquids from the solids and people have fallen in and drown because they cannot float in the aerated sewage
ever heard of mass??? Your boat was way too small. And also, the gold fish... all you showed was that it was able to be guided by food and bright colors.. not that it remembered the path to go.
Mass isn't the important thing; displacement at the point of submersion and the rate of descent is what determines the force of the vortex caused. In this case you had a fairly slow descent with a fairly narrow displacement at the point of submersion. They did make fairly clear that final experiment was being rushed though.
The problem with goldfish and small bowls isnt if the have short memory. The problem is that they live to be 25 years, and even up to 40 and can be 30-40m long. They die in the small bowls due to the small size
The guy at the music store acted like he was a little upset when they said they want to blow the trombone up they're going to pay for it so I wouldn't care what they do with it after they pay for it
@@King_Stranger Literally a TH-cam link. Anyway the reason they couldn't produce the effect is because their ship just isn't big enough. A person is just too big to be affected by such a small ship going down. The scale of their test was off. A 9 ton boat is just no substitute for a 20.000 ton ocean liner. Or a several thousand ton piece thereof.

He's lived for 130 years, makes sense.
Crazy thing is, most of it is *true*. Especially the wildest parts.
14:24 wow nostalgia, it was so hard to take pictures in the sun with those dinky, dim little flip phone screens. 😅
I came down to the comments to say something like this!
Also hunting a sinkable boat in copper cove. Doing that after 2010 was dangerous with all the scrap metal thieves squatting out there.
When the pyrotechnician asks "How much is in there" you know the man is questioning if he is going to lose his license or not.

Lips on a trombone don't seal with anywhere near enough pressure to stop that expanding gas. Myth busted
They revisited the myth with exactly this.
The bigger the object the bigger the suck 🤣
I wonder how much positive pressure would be applied by someone playing a trombone. Might affect the results of the experiment.
"... all they see is only that black ring that is exposed" Show them some Star Gate SG1 episodes.
