Am I the only one to think they dropped the ball on the cage myth? half the time they were displacing their weight to the wrong side and at the wrong time. But I wasn't there, maybe the editing doesn't do their attempts justice.
No you're right and that's about usual for mythbusters. Generally half efforted like that. I mean they just stood around whooping while everything was on fire for so long until the safety guy finally got there.
I don't know how sturdy cranes are in america, but if it is the same cranes we have, then even small movements from the crane is enough to damp the swinging.....
Maybe, while it's true that bamboo can be just as strong when still fresh it does have much more flex than steel. Which is bad because it absorbs more energy during transfer which would've made it even harder to swing it.
@ oh, interesting, I didn’t know that 🤯I’d just assumed it’d be more realistic & easier to swing because it’s lighter, but if there’s a trade-off, then I guess I sit corrected (because I’m currently sitting down 😂)
It might have worked worth a correct nozzle . You have to decrease the the diameter where the combustion chamber meets the nozzle and widen it afterwards . A nozzle is roughly shaped like an hourglass
I think the bone cage swing should be possible, their timing was horrible throughout, and yeah, the longer the rope, the slower it'll start to take real effect, but also there they had the wrong frequency. And the kart cannon, they didn't count in the weight of Buster, because that does not compare to a scaled up doll, or the added weight of the bigger drum and gas flask. I'm not sure if it would've gone fast, but i think they were being a bit sloppy.
Im thinking the main problem with the bone cage is actually the weight. To swing they need to alter the center of mass but if their mass is very small compared to the mass of the cage itself, it isnt going to help much. Its supposed to be a bone cage, bone is much much lighter than steel, specially dried up that's been in the sun for a couple of months/years. I still dont think they could have swung up to 25 degrees anyways, but probably much higher than they did.
@@7ifty7ifty Haha, i still love the show though, but there's those occasions that make me scratch my head. I'm critical of my own creations as well, so it's not anything personal about this show or something.
@@Vittinable Good point, they did mention the weight, but Jamie added something like: "We can't make it any lighter, otherwise it wouldn't hold our weight", which i think was also a fair point. Which is why i also mentioned the frequency, because it made me think of toppling a tree by pushing repeatedly against it until it wobbles to its death, just like those wobbly bridges that eventually shake itself apart. I still think it is possible, because their timing was so poor, they moved to the left when the cage hadn't even reached its apex to the right, taking a lot of momentum out of the swing. And the walking back and forth also doesn't really help when they push themselves off to go to the other side, because that adds more momentum to the side that they're NOT going towards, despite them getting a little bit of movement out of it. But yeah, you might be right about the maximum swing angle/distance, because at some point their weight will just be sitting and waiting there while the cage swings many meters off to the sides.
MythBusters was very entertaining, but a lot of wasted opportunities to do actual science, engineering and maths. They should have had experts lead much more often. The 55 gallon drum go kart didn't have continuous ignition, and air (oxygen) could only get into the drum through the 'rocket nozzle' aka hole. The paint spray gun was a good start, but ignition for a fraction of a second/5 seconds says it's not a rocket, but might get 100s of times more power with continuous burning. Expert Bob Maddox's pulse jet salvaged ½ the episode. Best Wishes. ☮
Yeah and they don't add ethanol to fuels so you're totally, oh, wait no they do. You're wrong! What do you know! Methanol was used as a jet and rocket fuel in the past. it's just not a good one.

You seriously didn't ask yourself if this was a *YOU* problem first?!? You didn't check to see if litterally *anybody* else made a similar comment about the video quality being THAT bad?!

It would’ve been better to build the ball cage out of bamboo

44:43 he of course meant London when sayng "who knows where"
Once they got to the vines, wouldn't have just been easier to climb out of the cage and just go up them without it?
This is essentially how the German V1 worked - a pulsjet engine. Robust, reliable, and really, really loud.
It explained why its sounds so familiar.
Those are so cool hey ! That famous TH-cam guy from the UK made a great video for a go kart, kinda like this video
yeah the spooky sound of the v1
@@zsoltbocsi7546 terrifying just like those old planes that would come down and make that wine noise

8:40 dude really enjoyed that
This was fun❤
44:30, when I first saw and heard this, it almost exactly sounded like a v1 missile in flight.
Ah so you were there at the battle of Britain.

I think even dialing in nozzles would've been a good angle too
"on the count of three, let go..."
"2...1..."
Lmfao no three to be found... Gotta love Adam...
Might want to check again, he says "Let it go on the count of 3... 2... 1"
They need some hair around the hole.
The "nozzle" was clearly far too long in the full-scale barrel rocket test.

You did it

Man these late episodes are a slog.
imo pretty much all of them from season 7 onwards are hard to watch :/// few exceptions
That's why the show stopped
s3-4 was peak
