Jamie's approach reminds me so much of my grandfather, I remember once I needed a tool to adjust the valve clearance on my motorbike, so he took 10 minutes and brought me a wood screw with a radio knob on it, and a 1/4" drive socket with a handle welded to it, and it worked perfectly
Knowing how to do something is good, but understanding why it works lets people like Jamie and your grandfather do stuff like that There's no shortage of skeptical looks when you break out that creativity, but it's nice to be able to just get jobs done when they come up instead of waiting for amazon to bring a single function tool for 30 bucks.
i mean they fking went through all that effort with the wrecking ball/homer just to get a crane that can barely swing it.. wouldve rathered the beer can@verynefarious
One I wanted to see in the episode where they stay at the Flanders summer home, Homer lights a huge firecracker, the fuse breaks in panic he throws it in the dishwasher and takes cover. Boom! Homer is unharmed, could a dishwasher actually contain such a blast?
Nothing beats seeing their faces each time they do an experiment, the giddy, the happy the "just got away with something naughty" looks awesome and I thought they were doing Homer actual human size but no one has a head that large lol
A bit random but at 41:40 I noticed Adam must have a different gait than me. My shoe soles always wear out at the heel. Adams are worn at the front. Some useless info for you. 😂
wow Adam has ALL the tricks up his sleeve, no matter what needs to be done he can build it out of foam. The way he turned a cardboard box into an oven was also really interesting
There is one tiny flaw in the test, a real drain would expand the force of the explosion in both directions, towards the toilets and towards the drain, also the the cherry bomb would be in motion at the moment of the explosion and not static as in the test hence dissipating some of the energy of the explosion and theoretically giving you water fountains from the toilets.
The Simpsons clip also showed more than just three toilets. There were three in the boys bathroom, plus there was the girls bathroom which should also have had at least three if not more, which alone doubles the amount of exits for the force to escape.
They explained why there wasn't movement towards the train by giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying the system was clogged (something Bart could have achieved).
A cherry bomb is the equivalent of 1/8 of a stick of dynamite. We used to blow them up in swimming pools when I was a kid in the 70's and it was so fun!
That S bend in the toilet really backs up the pressure too much and it explodes before you can get the water out and that home with wrecking ball was a surprise and went off almost the same result on the show. Those writers are pretty sharp..
Backing up the pressure is kind of what it's there for. There is pressure usually in a sewer from rotting material and the S-bend is to trap that pressure so that you won't smell it.
The experiment with the toilets from the Simpsons works, as I did that trick when I was a child, at one of my old primary school toilets lol where I put a little skyrocket down the toilet inlets lol blew water everywhere haha
I have known this for over ten years but it still baffles me as a European to this day that you can own unlimited machine guns and regular firearms as well as unlimited tannerite in the us but a damn cherry bomb is illegal and it's treated like a nuclear warhead even by people that have worked with real explosives
Only thing missing from the commode test, was having a human analog sitting on one of them during the explosion to see how much injury would have been sustained.
If he made his formwork with plaster on the soil, he would obtain an almost perfect globe! But the idea to use the soil is very good! Ps: The Homer they've built is really great!!
10:00 - They didn’t show how somebody had to actually shovel out the loose dirt - while that hemisphere would have been difficult to impossible to do without the tool, it also needed one or more people with shovels to remove the loosened dirt.
-This is also to note that, there was no applied momentum, it was neutral, like dropping a ball vs. throwing one. -Had the operator swung the ball as if it wanted to demolish it, ie: apply momentum to the ball, would have been different outcome.
To create geysers, all you had to do was have a small expansion chamber filled partly with air and partly with water. When you exploded in it, you wouldn't get a shock wave going directly through the water, but instead you would create gas pressure that would push the water out, accelerating it much more smoothly than a shock wave.
Those cherry bombs remind me of those Black Cat bangers we used to get here in the UK around bonfire season, they looked like little red sticks of dynamite and had a hell of a kick when they went off, about similar to that cherry bomb I’d say. Was a shame those got banned but that’s what happens when people act like idiots with them. Lots of injuries over the years, many of them serious.
Just for sake of argument.. It's plausible that the school bathrooms were back to back with boys and girls bathrooms attached to the same plumbing, which would mean there were three other toilets on the other side of the wall If you had enough toilets hooked on the same system, you would have a larger volume of water, but you would also have more release from the additional toilets so it's still possible to reduce the pressure enough to get your fountain without destroying all the toilets That and the fact that if the toilets weren't clogged in the main line, it would be water pressure in the mainline that would've transmitted some of the force in the opposite direction towards the city sewer mains while the rest of the force went up to the toilets so I'm going to suggest it's still possible
I kind of thought the cherry bomb would destroy the pipe around it. As for 'Wrecking Homer', I think that the concentrated force of 5,000 lbs would pulverise any human body so quickly that it would make little difference to the damage inflicted on a house.
Seems like Jamie is enjoying himself way more in these kater seasons. Or at least the ones I've seen so far. However it also seems like they cut the budget heavily.
So that scene in Fast 5, were they come and 'act' like cleaning guys, after the the toilets were blown up, is sci-fi:-D No matter what, it is still an awesome scene and that sec. pause before it blows up 😀
Sure it may have lessened the damage to house a bit, but surely the main place it fails is that homer would have suffered major internal injuries, if he could even have survived.
And here I thought Cherry bombs were tiny. Turns out, no, they're quite significant explosives! I am kinda disappointed that they called the toilet one Busted without actually opening the system though. Like, they had a closed, "clogged" system because that was the biggest explosion in the scale test, but when they went full-scale it was too much power and ripped the toilets off their moorings. Wouldn't it then make sense to open the system, thus scaling back the power and potentially getting a geyser without destroying the toilets in the process?
They put so much effort into making sure the wrecking ball was the same size as the show, but not the cherry bomb. The cherry bomb they used is clearly several times larger than the one in the show. This test was flawed for several reasons and should be revisited if the show ever comes back.

Ryan from the motorcycling channel "Fortnine" did a piece on this a few years ago focusing on how you can be "invisible" on a motorcycle, because in a car drivers eyes, you can very well be in a part of their vision that the brain has predicted, not processed, and the brain isn't expecting a motorcycle there, thus, invisible. "this is why you can feel more tired in a foreign city vs. close to home, your brain can't fill in the gaps because it doesn't have enough historical data to do so", as well as most motorcycle accidents being within blocks from home because well, you havent seen a bike at this intersection for the last few months, why would there be one now?
the plumbing is not busted, they only tested with a closed end system, fully plugged, there should have been 2 directions for the pressure to go, and was there only 3 toilets that blew up in the episode? I remember 3 in the boys room and several more with people on them... ALSO, what happened to modifying the scenario to fit the outcome? what changes WOULD it have taken? a 10% less powerful cherry bomb? 1 extra or oversized gas vent?
I'm wondering if metal toilets would hold up better ! What I'm seeing is there's plenty of water moving so if the hardware held up it would probably be able to lift a person clean off the seat !.
A stainless steel toilet like they use in prisons might have stayed anchored to the steel plumbing flange. Porcelain is just too brittle. Surprised the dynamic duo didn’t think of that because they are both so dam smart.
@ThePOSM yeah but it's just implausible to stop and convert all the time. I can do yards/feet/inches in my head, but psi I have no concept of how to convert 🤣
The toIlet stunt might have worked if the cherry bomb's explosion had been distributed between six or twelve toilets. In the show, the same bomb affected the girls' toilets as well, and school bathrooms often have double rows, with the stall doors facing each other. So even though Bart was standing in front of three stalls, there were certainly six and possibly twelve. With only half or even a quarter of the force acting on each, the toilets might survive and give off their geyser as shown in the Simpsons.
You weren't paying attention, we're you? Jamie used an Industrial formula epoxy used for bonding concrete, basically he used the strongest glue in the world
@@synaesthesia2010 In your words he used "Glue". Maybe a strong glue, but still not a physical bonding method. Taking a risk on being flattened by 5000 lbs. isn't worth it. By the way, I do plant maintenance and construction and can tell you all the times where strong adhesive has failed where it shouldn't have. I don't mind them using the glue, just that they must treat the ball as if it can break apart at any moment because the penalty of failure = death.
From what I've seen in the construction the glue was only to prevent the two hemispheres to move independently, my guess is that the ball, the lower half hemisphere had the central steel collum in it, which also provided the fixture to be attached to the crane The upper half central collum was only there to guide the construction, so it was safe ish to stand beneath that whole thing if the cables don't snap
@@mrdan2898 First of all. It was clearly shown that the ball has some construciton inside that fits together so it was very obviously not put together only by a glue. And secondly if the wrecking ball broke he would be crushed "only" by 2500 lbs which is the weight of one half. I don't understand why people are trying to be smart in the comments when they can't even pay attention to the video or do basic math.
Am I the only one who noticed that the lone wrecking ball hit the house three times with that one swing, but the Homer-ball hit only once? Homer literally broke the ball's momentum.
I don’t mind seasons 9 and 10 but cutting out the Build Team really made the show lose a lot of the charm it had. The little graphic changes tried a bit too hard to Breaking Bad-theme the show. Mythbusters was always cheesy and geeky and the ‘polish’ they tried to add fell flat.
One mistake around this is the fact that the tube on pipework was closed ... in real life, that pipe would be open ... at least splitting the energy in half.
