I think we need to appreciate how terrifying it must have been for Adam and the crew when the payload didn't drop. Adam and Jamie have both said on multiple different occasions that the worst thing that can happen during a test is nothing, since you don't know where the failure point might be, and you're adding an element of unpredictability to such a dangerous stunt. And in this instance, it happened when he was surrounded by children.
An object in motion wants to stay in motion. An object at rest wants to stay at rest. The second drop was naturally going to be longer because the water wants to stay at rest when released and the rubber band is still pulling on the car after the water is released. So, the car should naturally stay up longer. This isn't gravity defying. It is physics. And physics is cool!
jonathan kydd the only thing that is being defied is perception. People focus on the car instead of the total mass and acceleration of both objects. When everything is factored in, the total acceleration still comes in at 1G.
Would be a lot of fun discussing this in a physics classroom - all ideas I get for if I decide to become a physics teacher (if engineering turns out to suck). I haven't seen the rest of this episode, did they discuss the theory of it all or just go straight to smashing stuff? That's one of my biggest criticisms of Mythbusters all along, they often tend to go straight to smashing or blowing up stuff without really discussing the theoretical basis of the myth, and in many cases I think they don't set things up right because they don't really think about or understand such. Of course smashing and blowing up is a lot better television for most people, I'd enjoy the physics (and other science depending on the myth) talk as I am a huge nerd.
The production quality with kids just isn’t as good I’m sorry but it’s a bad concept and I adored mythbusters Edit: Thanks for all the likes, Happy to see so many people loved the original.
It definitely came out of a junkyard. It had no brakes, and for all we know either didn't have an engine or the engine was seized. One thing is for sure, production won't buy a car off of a used car lot and crush it with a massive tank of water. The car was past it's useful life and this show honored the car with a viking's death in one last display of awesomeness.
a little bit of explanation really should have been said... for instance that the reason the car is "levitating" is because of the tension still on the bungee after the initial release until it gets close enough to the car that the tension is no longer there and it falls faster and faster. the reason the weight at the top makes it better is because it is falling way slower making the bungee take way longer to release the tension and let the car fall faster. its the same thing for a human who is bungee jumping, if a human lets say cut the bungee as he or she was at the peak of the decent then their speed would be lowered enough so that the force pulling you to the ground is the same force pulling you up and at that moment you are safe as long as the ground is close, however lets say the bungee was cut at the top, well then the force of the bungee pulling you up would still be there until the bungee released all of its potential energy so you would "levitate" if only for just a few milliseconds
We should put a flat earther there :) We'll say to him here's an experiment which disproves gravity and he won't suspect a thing and when he finds out it's too late😈😈😈
You’re 10 years old Your mom just picked you up from school early because you have a doctors appointment She stops at McDonald’s and gets you a happy meal and sprite.

Everyone complaining about the kids, get over yourself. This is more than just for you, this is more than just Mythbusting. This is giving kids a viewpoint that even they can do science. Even if the adults do the larger ones, they're there learning, seeing what they could be doing in the future. I hate to break it to you, Adam isn't in to it for you, but for those kids, for other kids.
yes, but by the time you get to the center, it will start feeling like you are upside down because gravity would be pulling in the direction of your head rather than your feet. so for the rest of the dig, you would be upside-down.
I think the biggest issue with this isn't the weight at the top but the tensile of the cable you want something that can resist being stretched out and then have the weight at the top and you'll get a reaction. Other than that it'll never really work.
Guy coming back from lunch break: "Hey has anyone seen my car? The super bright neon Honda Prelude. I parked it outside. Also why's the parking lot so wet?"
Levitate - rise or cause to rise and hover in the air. All I saw was the car falling and didn't hover in the air like The hoverboard in "Back to the Future"
If i'm correct, that car they are using is the same exact car for when mythbusters wanted to see if you can escape a car when it's fully submerged underwater
Why dont they actually investigate the physics of the situation and talk about the levitation effect being directly related to the k value of the spring.
y’all don’t understand that this show is aimed at kids. it’s not trying to be the original show. if you’re like 15+ years old you’re not supposed to like it lmao. this encourages kids to do science and learn, and that’s all we can really ask for in my opinion.
Before all the flat earthers comments, lets be clear: the car dindt defy gravity at any point. Gravity pulls the car constatly every second, just when the car hovers there is an equal and opposite force that balance out gravity so all the force vectors summed on the car equals 0 for a while. And that time the car wasnt accelerating.
@The Elon Gamer The object at the bottom will never move up, the bungee is already pulled to the max tension, when the top object is released, the tension decreases because it moves down.
That's a terrifying amount of energy. The rubberband crushed the roof like a potatoe chip. Then they had a switch failure, with that hanging overhead? "Nope, see you guys later. I'm out."
One neat thing we see, is that a super hero with rubber powers could get some serious damage potential, with how the cord crushed the car roof on the first drop.
They did this Myth wrong. You need a exact counter weight on the other end and the rubber cord between them. Let them go on either side at the same time and you will have a very brief moment of levitation.
I mean it’s not technically levitating or defying gravity, to defy the gravity you would need something like a massive electromagnet to force the car upwards, then that would be gravity defying
So why is none of the crew wearing hard hats? They are all in the danger zone with a crane in the air. It's not required but if one person has one, everyone else should too.
Sorry but that car in the second drop was moving already when the slo-mo footage started rolling.. Feel free to dispute that but it's clear in the slo-mo.
6:25 the collision between the tank of water and the car is so powerful it looks like its animated lmao

I have a question if earth is round and there is no water and lava can you dig to across the word and if so would your legs come first?
The answer is obviously purple but blue crocodile works too
It's a fish, right?!
yes, but by the time you get to the center, it will start feeling like you are upside down because gravity would be pulling in the direction of your head rather than your feet. so for the rest of the dig, you would be upside-down.

Levitate - rise or cause to rise and hover in the air.
All I saw was the car falling and didn't hover in the air like The hoverboard in "Back to the Future"
Yep its not levitation at all
In the slowmo they also didn't show when it was released. (Maybe it was later) and they also stopped the counter after it was already falling
*A COLONY OF GO-PROS WERE HARMED IN THIS VIDEO*
I don't know why but this killed me 7:25

Nothing beats the OG mythbusters
Now thats alot of damage
At 6:43 to 6:53, we can see the car drop very slowly. About a few inches during 10s.
Dude the car hovered until the bungee smashed it down.
great video! so now i wonder what if you added say double the weight on the top? 6,000lbs ontop and 3,000 on the bottom... would it "hover" more?
@The Elon Gamer The object at the bottom will never move up, the bungee is already pulled to the max tension, when the top object is released, the tension decreases because it moves down.
6:26 looks like a god darn Danganronpa execution
mmmhahahahaha we totally just crushed a car
if the earth is round does that mean we can make a track at the top and walk all the way around the earth and come back to the beginning?
Yes that is how a sphere works
What would work best would be a massive sheet of plywood or something with shitloads of air resistance
That Bungee came down so fast the roof of the car couldn’t even withstand it, just got caved in.

Newtons law. An object in motion continues in motion until a force or object acts on it

Want longer levitating? Use rubber or coil that have more stress power.. the more stress power it have the longer its..
