Oh, I would be extra-grumpy if someone used my equipment, nearly destroys it and then leaves it all covered in sawdust! Jamie, I feel your anger.
Also like... HOW does Adam manage to make that HUGE indent on the lave when he's working with WOOD? only way I can see it hat the metal cutting tool for the insert did it... which is INSANELY dangerous. (likely conmpletely cut from the show) and ontop of this... he's using wood... which leaves woodpulp allover the lave...firehassard much?
@@Emesh83it’s lathe learn how to spell before commenting dawg
@@iiiuujI'm going to assume English isn't his first language... Otherwise, geez Louise some literacy classes are in order there.
Oh no! A minor spelling error. Better be a dick about it to make sure everyone knows I'm very intelligent.
Geez guys, chill out.
anyone who has worked in a workshop feels the same. the lack of respect.
19:35
A 24 lbs cannonball is a big one. Usually field guns at the time were 12 lbs or 6 lbs. 24 lbs was usually the largest standard cannonball with anything bigger being custom made. Though for that cannon to work you need a spring valve of some sort to halt the pressure for a second to let it build up.
Adam: Do I look like a beaver to you?
Jamie: ..........sometimes 🤣
I remember this episode, when it first aired and after what Jamie said after watching the aftermath of Adam using the lathe I was worried that this could be the final season
I don't think Adam could destroy steel lathe with wooden bar. If anything wood just split or shatter into pieces. Although camera seems to show some damage, I am not sure it was from Adam's work. It seems to me Jamie was more pissed off that Adam made a mess and didn't clean it up. Wonder if they resolved that later, or just let it hang.
@@d4slaimlessthey hated each other later on, so you probably know what's the answer to that
@@KasugaSama They never said they hated each other lol
Dark teeth doesn't mean they are dirty or worse, just they have been dyed, mostly by coffee, tea or food colorants. Adam's teeth are full of restoration and tartar thou.
"Jamie seems to be strangely subdued by the thought of spreading his cheeks on national TV" 38:18 🤣
I knew he just wanted those pneumatic actuators for his shop. The ridiculous army of boots was an excuse to make Discovery pay for them.
Everyone's mocking him for that awful idea but he's over there playing 4D chess.
looks like the camera people are fighting in the background😂 21:50
Something was going down in that back room. Lmao! good eye.
Yeah, Adam explained this in one of his videos. Some stranger entered the premises and started a brawl. Can't recall what exactly happened, but there was a fight indeed.
@@d4slaimlessWhich one? 😊
@@benjaminfraeyman I can't recall. I just remember that it was some Q&A videos.
Natural tooth colour is not directly linked to hygiene, quality or anything, it's like judging people for their natural hair colour. Bleaching your teeth so they *look* more white than they naturally are most certainly has nothing to do with health or hygiene, that's just personal vanity. I celebrate Adam for resisting this silly fashion trend.
This. I've been unfortunate enough to have yellow teeth since I was a kid, but no actual issues beyond that; no fillings, crowns, root canals, nothing. Just a full set of healthy, albeit discoloured teeth.
Re-binging my favourite childhood series. Wonder what would happen if they placed cooking oil in the copper tank, heat it up till flashing point, and drop the water in to cause a grease fire fireball to power the cannon?
it changes nothing, its just sealed preasure you want, 60 psi stays 60 no mather how or what you use, they showd 1/10 of what this cannon and ensurance could do,amaizing
The oil would probably evaporate (and burn) before getting to water's flashing point. I don't think it could get much hotter than around 200ºC
The mistake they made was putting a very large barrel on a very tiny heat chamber/water to steam flasher. The ratio is incorrect.
They revisited that myth later. The problem is Leidenfrost effect. Even if you put water into oil, it doesn't flash all immediately. The only way I could think of, is creating supercritical water, and that stuff is WAAAAAY to dangerous 😊
i love watching mythbusters at 2 am!!!!
Fellow Australian?
Do you need that many exclamation points?
1:50 AM here
The best hour!
yep
I love this series, thanks for sharing on YT!
Seeing Adam and Jamie live in Melbourne in 2015 was the best event I’ve ever been to. Especially when they brought out the exploded water heater out on stage and the multi barrel paintball cannon for the finale, that they used on some poor sod in full medieval plate armour 🤣 Adam’s comment about how the aftermath looked like a clown threw up just broke me 😂
24:30 That was very funny. Such a big powerful looking thing and just a small "p-f-f-f-t" all that it did.
Thanks to whoever is uploading these for fixing the stereo audio issues!
My thought: That copper cannon didn't have enough thermal mass to "flash" the water to steam. The barrel cools too quickly. Having a solid, heavy metal block at the base of the barrel might do it. The copper nails they later used are the same thing. Same on the larger version. A thicker, heavier barrel heated up might work.
38:38 It sucks that they had to frame that stupid prank as Karis idea when we all know it was that dingleberry producer.
Is it just me, or did the narrator change from saying Archimedes, to DaVinch and then back to Archimedes?
DaVinci wrote the plans of a supposedly ancient Archimedes machine.
Ohhh, so this is how they made the steam cannon! I had never seen this one before 😮❤
I’ve never seen the part with Adam’s teeth before! It’s something totally new for me!
34:18, nice fall arrest gear there boys lol
it wasn't kary who did the bad prank, it was a producer that wanted to create drama, he was removed later
The process of evaporating water requires a lot of energy. Studies show that 30 liters of atomised water should theoretically be enough to extinguish a relatively big kitchen fire.
41:11 Gold moment
I remember the steam Canon Episode
"you are taking solid water"
Never knew water was solid when it is water.
Isn't it ice when it is solid?
Isn't water a liquid?
and the calorimeter. Ralph Rene explained it in simple terms.
Seems you might want to have pure oxygen?
@@bertjesklotepinoyeah 1 gram of cereal being 9 calories would mean that it has to be pure fat or some fuel, there are only 4 calories in a gram of carbohydrates and proteins, and the cereal definitely had a lot of sugar so it can't be pure fat 😂
Anyone else noticed how those temperature laser guns only measure the very outside temperature just the surface exposed to the air?
That was exactly where that ball landed. Geee. Could have been disastrous had they waited longer.
The older I get, the more I understand Jamie's pov regarding Adam.....
Yeah, that was a bad take from Adam. He should've fessed up and at least cleaned up.
Adam of today would have reacted the exact same if this was done by his kids or a friend in the shop.
But he does admit now that he was not always very nice to work with (and i can understand that Jamie also wasn't always the easiest to work with).
@@Games_and_Music yeah, I think Adam got older and matured more. Also, yeah, same with Jamie, both are very strong willed people. Just comes down to we arent perfect and all have our flaws.
Adam gives strong ADHD vibes
Mythbusters was always a very American TV show, but few things sum it up as well as people going "Hey, are Adam's teeth as terrible as they look at a glance?" and the team/producers interpret that as "How white are everyone's teeth?" instead of "How much plaque/tartar is in there?"
Didn’t seem like the big cannon have the seal around the projectile like the little one did
12:31 Mission accomplished, proof of concept, unleash the big guns!
26:18 3...2...1..
Wow really fucked up to pin the electric shock prank on Kari. It was the producer that made them do it.
A pressure vessel should be hydraulically tested at twice the rated pressure. This helps locating leaks at the same time it ensures it is safe with gas (steam). A boiler should have a safety valve. A calibrated rupture disc could act as a safety valve and at the same time be the firing mechanism.
i wish they could show the original cut of this episode with the cannibal mice youtube has age restrictions and things could be blurred so it would be an interesting comparison from first draft to this
Oh yeah I forgot that mice test in cereal myth that part wasn't cutted it was unaired.
Long story short Adam told in interview about it, they used mices to test it but the cardboard one ended with one fat happy mouse.
Inteview name is (Cannibal Mouse: The MythBusters Episode You'll Never See)
@@Mikael404 theres still some footage left in the episode but none of the stuff left adam mentioned he had a rough cut he showed at colleges
@@maltesefalcon85 And none of those cuts weren't in any episodes of Mythbusters.
Remember your said "original cut of this episode" Adam might have that footage, however it was never included in this Mythbuster episode.
@@Mikael404 28:17 in this very youtube video its in black and white but its there
@@maltesefalcon85 So where is that fat mouse in this part and are they mentioning result of that test in this video?
34:01 Not often you hear Jamie laughing like that.
Bogladite (MIB) speech that's how it was done
SHOW DEMAIS
38:19 💀
Wasn't the point of Archimedes Sun Ray weapon to burn the sails of the ship causing a fire ?
what about the use of greek fire?????
man, i wish jamie had his program...
Just wondering why the BBC and MasterChef UK are being advertised on a US science show...
It's on a few Mythbusters videos. The top left section is where BBC logo would be if it was shown on BBC but I don't recall it ever being on the BBC. Would like to know also
The moment they realized how bad of an idea 200 Psi was 😳
45:55 Lol.
Was there a fight in the background at 21:50???
that first mini steam cannon.... why did they heat it with propane torches and yellow flames?
Why did they not use an induction heater, or just an electric heater of some sort?
Or preheat water in a sealed canister like those explosive popcorn makers. I assumed they would have done that way with the build
Well, they did find out that it is indeed not a bad idea to preheat the water in a sealed container or canister. Right?
At the end they basically took a barrel to act as a container to preheat the water to steam..... basically making a bomb.
I have no clue what you mean by those explosive popcorn makers. Am not making popcorn that regularly myself to buy one of those.
But my guess is that there might be better ideas to actually get a steam cannon to work.
Steam after all has a lot of power.
@@calumhughes2778
the more episodes I watch, the less I tolerate Adam
But you need his creative chaos to make the good tv. The show with just Jamie’s talking heads would be pretty dull. You need the goofball V straight man dynamic
BythMusters
Lol, ask an american what the best for your health is, and they choose the sugar filled cereal because it has more calorie lol.
Ok for all of you who do not want to get diabetes...
Yes sugar filled cereal has more calorie, more fat, more vitamine, more protein then the cardboard box.
But the ratio of sugar to the other nutriments is so high, that with a single bowl you get 1/3 of teh calorie you need in your day but barely enough of everything else.
At least the card board box, got a less calories and most of those calorie are inside fibre, meaning they are slow burning calorie, compare to the high sugary cereal quick calorie.
So yes cardboard box is still more nutritious then the cereal, but for your health sake go eat an apple instead.
The amount of energy required to flash the water into explosive steam/plasma is extremely high. You would need to create the pressure in multiple chambers in series.
Mirror deathray was unfortunate myth as many people after proved that it works
im currious , because i saw footage of the original experiment and several recreations and all worked, i don't get it why it failed.
Tism vs ADHD
A calorimeter is not an accurate measure of what can be digested by humans.
To a first approximation, people can only digest right-handed molecules.
Calorimeters are chirality agnostic.
That's not true at all, where did you hear that humans can only absorb right handed molecules? For one all the amino acids Earth life needs are left handed, humans wouldn't survive if we could only process right handed molecules.
"But how could the ancient greeks?!"
My guy. When this released people didnt know how they made self healing concrete.
They were more knowledgeable than we give them credit
That cereal myth is quite boring one but with an interesting story behind it there is a unaired part where they did the mice test.
th-cam.com/video/ziQWDnFSPt8/w-d-xo.html -- In this video Adam explains more about that mice test. I'm not going to blame Discovery for unairing that one.
Cereal vs cardboard box was a boring filler myth 😴
They had to cut out the part where they put a bunch of mice in a box with only cardboard for food because they started eating each other. I'm not joking
