There is something inherently silly about holding a blowtorch in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other. "we want to light things on fire... But not too much on fire!"
Hah, yeah, i saw it happen and the narrator just kept going, i had fully expected a remark on that. Maybe the "perfect" that he mentions was sarcastic, but it didn't sound like it.

42:30 That is a pretty hilarious "backstory", haha. I did always wonder about his feet, because he always seems to wear those orthopedic-looking boots, and his feet do look quite tiny. Pretty funny that it gets "acknowledged" with a scene like this, Jamie Geishaman.
Miss you Mythbusters crew. Thank you for everything! When is someone gonna come out with mythbusters 2? It would be super popular today with all the new internet hoaxes and stories!
I clearly remember watching this on TV and they had the powder barrel on a robot and drove it down the boards as a finale, you can even see it in the background when they do the summary.
That might have been a revisit, i also remember that. It kept getting clogged and not making a clear trail, so they had to tape a drill to the side to shake it as it went down the path. Pretty sure the drill survived the explosion, too.
10:00 Tory might have "taken one for the team" on that, but he sure is handing it back to them with more than they signed up for! The show was AWESOME. The world just isn't the same without Grant, though.
I think he knows better, having lit many a gas tank on fire as a foul little child that you just NEVER let near matches if you want to live. I know that's how I learned.😅
He knew logically it was very very unlikely it would explode, like sure there was a freak chance of it happening but gasoline isn't that explosive even when it is at the right amount, like it can throw stuff but with such a small amount the most it would have done if it exploded would be expanding the gas tank a bit and possibly rupturing a seal on it but the tank itself wasn't really much of a detonation hazard
If he's worked pyro at all in his special-effects career, he knows _exactly_ how you make a tank of gasoline explode (it needs to have enough head space to get a lot of vapor mixed with air), so I'm guessing he wasn't too worried.
Gasoline on a cool metal plate vs on a hot, black road surface should make quite a bit of difference to how much vapor there is available for flame propagation.
True, but even if the speed of the flame quadrupled, 25 mph would be enough to get away. It's not as easy to make gas burn as everyone seems to think. Yes freak accidents happen, but getting any consistency would require vaporization to get a more consistent air/fuel ratio. Most accidents with fuel involve electric power tools creating sparks around empty fuel tanks, or less concentrated vapors. It's like making a car run. Too much fuel it pukes and chokes, too little and you get the same results. A bullet hole wouldn't make an exact enough air fuel ratio to get anything to explode. Even the classic 80s Chevy fuel tanks exploding myth couldn't be recreated without an external ignition source. Turned out the nthsa over filled the fuel tanks, left the fuel tank cap loose, and placed a lit road flair just out of frame inside the dually fender of the truck. Nthsa also decided the Suzuki sidekick was too much competition for the Jeep, and devised rollover testing to make it look bad, even though they had to under inflate tires and drive way more aggressively than they expected. They made the results they wanted.
@JonatasAdoM there was a great example of what happens to gasoline in sub 0 temps. There was an episode of a show called roadkill. They were road tripping across Alaska. They pulled over to try and light some fireworks in the middle of nowhere. Couldn't even get a gasoline soaked rag to light.(Elevation could have played a part, but still).
Huh. I knew about Diesel not lighting up without being aerosolized; I did *not* know that about jet fuel. I was always under the impression it was highly flammable. Neat! I got to learn a new thing!
Yep, and the jet fuel for the SR 71 was so stable that it was not only the coolant for the engines, but the ground crew would often use it to extinguish their cigarettes.
@@thestraydog Pretty much any flammable, or even inflammable, or combustible, like gasoline, will put out a cigarette if it's in a can. I even tried using hot gasoline, pouring it out, then flicking a cigarette into the puddle as hard as I could, both in the middle and at the edge and failed every time. Oil companies are massively wealthy and don't want to lose that money to a lawsuit, so they spend a lot of time and money making it work in engines but be relatively safe if let lose. And NO, you never use a movie or TV show as an example, or you might be a Walker: Texas Phony fan and think you can blow a car to smithereens with a single 9mm round. Those cars have back seats full of dynamite, gasoline by the gallon and a detonator right in the middle, and some technician setting it off from a safe distance as you've seen these two ne'er-do-wells do on this show dozens of times.
Jet fuel is also very similar to kerosene, which is often used in portable heaters, and sometimes lanterns. Iirc it’s 1 fuel lower than diesel in the crude distillation tank
Also on the subject of the SR-71, the fuel was so hard to ignite that they had to use a super toxic big boom chemical and spray it into the engine like starter fluid because nothing else would get it to light. You could see a big puff of green flame come out the back of the engine when they first started up because of that chemical. I just wish I could remember the name.
DIESEL: the way diesel ignites in an engine is by being pressurized by the "injection pump" which is similar to a pressure washer pump, except that each cylinder in the engine has it's own line and injector, and the pump pushes the fuel, in time with the rotation of the engine, into each cylinder in turn. it's the insanely high pressure of the pump and injector, combined with the extremely high compression ratio of the cylinders (typically above 15 to 1, vs 9 to 1 for a standard gas/petrol powered engine) that causes it to explode. the pressure is usually above 2500psi through the injector. basically a split second flame thrower inside each cylinder.
Just buy an AED. And paddles got replaced with adhesive pads years ago. And the training is that if the aed is needed- put the pads on and use it. If the patient gets a burn- that can be treated later. If they never revive due to delay it doesn't matter.
If you think you’ll have any clothing on during a code blue you’re crazy (at least in the US). The code team has to be 100% sure there’s not an unseen injury.
Which country? 67 countries have English as an official language, and that’s not counting those who have English as the ubiquitous language so it doesn’t need to be made official. (lol sorry to be pedantic but it’s the internet, right? I agree though, what a language!) Oh, edit to give this context: I’m from a non-American, English-speaking country where English is not an official language. Yet.
I acknowledge that this is pedantic, but liquid gasoline doesn't burn either. The vapor does, same as diesel or jet fuel. The difference is that gasoline is more volatile and evaporates much more rapidly, so there is enough vapor hanging out above the liquid gasoline to make it look like the liquid is burning. There is not enough oxygen present and mixed with the liquid gasoline, diesel or jet fuel to allow the liquid to burn.
Thats why diesel has a lot less regulation for transport and storage than gas. In my area and plenty of rural areas its very common to see pickups with sliptanks full of 300+ gallons of diesel on the road with no extra permitting or regulation.
It did look like the thinner the line of gun powder the slower it went. The first test was a few inches wide then they started going smaller and it slowed down. Also in the last 2 test before blowing the keg those thicker parts went faster (and louder) too bad they didn't test this like they did with the fuel and try different diameters.

"Diesel fuel does not light like normal gasoline." Their chemical formulas are sufficiently different... "Apparently it's formulated to specifically ignite only under circumstances" More than 'apparently'--it is (namely, mixed with highly-heated compressed air)... "one of them is definitely not layout it out on the ground and lighting it with a match." Well, its primary use is inside combustion engines, so... 😅

Jamie honestly meant it! in the United States, most car's speedometers (especially in older vehicles) don't have individual number markers below about 10-5mph and the needle becomes inaccurate and insensitive to moving very slowly vs not moving at all, even if the speedometer works perfectly fine at most roadway/highway speeds. some higher-tech speedometers in newer cars that use screens instead of dials are more accurate at very low speed, but in that old truck, i easily believe that it's that the speedometer just plain isn't that sensitive.
People complain when truckers smoke while fueling, they should have watched the video first lol. Couldn't even ignite it with a blow torch, you think a cigarette is going to do it? Good job. lol
I actually saw a video of a woman blowing up a gas pump doing that. You could watch the flame go from her cigarette to the top of the hose attached to the pump and not the nozzle. Maybe the hose wasn't sealed properly?
Diesel does not ignite because it needs pressure in order to explode there is a reason why you do not put spark plugs in a diesel engine because diesel does not ignite it explodes under pressure
I feel like the gas would burn quicker with less liquid gas on the ground. Let it evaporate a bit more and the evaporation accelerates. My only qualification is being a pyro.
Brings me back in time, in which „old“ Phones were high end. Adam holding pround his iphone 4 or sum, stopping the time and using the calculator. It was monumental in 2007
Ethanol burns faster but takes more energy/heat to ignite which tends to equalize each other. We use high ethanol fuel, E85, in racing and one of it's advantages is due to this property is its naturally more resistant to pinging and detonation. The fact that it takes more heat to vaporize also helps cool the air/fuel mix and make more power. Methanol, another alcohol used for racing, has similar properties but even more so.
The Vikings get credit for gunpowder now. There's a manuscript from about the year 1200 - 1250 (don't recall besides it is 50 years prior to china at least) with 25 different recipes from rockets and small arms to the first cannons. The ones we get the word "barrel"(s) for firearms, the first were logs oftrn wrapped in leather and banded like a cooper's whiskey barrel.

Heck yeah! A highly toxic electric fire. As a bonus, it even has a tendency to go off randomly! I can't believe how oblivious people are. Lithium being ever more rare, consumable, toxic, and mined used cheap or unpaid labor in inhuman conditions. And somehow it's more ecological than plain old CO2 from (not-)fossil fuels.
"Jet fuel" jet fuel or Av gas jet fuel? Don't take these guys as gospel, you might run across Low Lead 100, that's just leaded gasoline a little more premium than car premium. There's probably 50 kinds of aviation fuel. You'll only find a few at a time tho, many are military like Hy-Lox or hypergolics and you don't have to worry about them. Yes they still use leaded gas and yes it is despicable.
What happens when you have a hole at the top of the gas tank and at the bottom and you light a fire on top side of the gas tank, does it go in, does it burn if does go in, does ut goes boom then?
This episode shows how Gasoline is far safer than natural gas. Well, even lithium batteries. They could have done a quick test with diesel in the fuel tank too to see if it would perform even better.
9:22 Did the voice-over guy just refer to a defibrillator as a "heart starter"? I thought this was a science show. A defibrillator STOPS the heart, it does not restart it.
bruh the show was marketed to children to get them excited about STEM fields. there is a bunch of shit in this show that isn't 'science'. It's just fun. Also a defibrillator *is* meant to restart your heart. The narrator isn't trying to spread misinformation lmfao
"If the heart rhythm stops due to cardiac arrest, also known as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a defibrillator may help it start beating again." A simple Google search is all you needed to do before making such a ridiculous statement.
Why are there posters of women in the changing room? Do women like to look at other women while they try on bras? I understand, but I didn't know woman did it.
It's an upscale boutique aimed at theater people and people who want to feel sexy and glamorous, so obviously they want to connect their products to glamour. "Wear our product and you can feel as great as she looks."
Is the ballistic gel that they made the body out of even going to conduct electricity? I think they forgot to consider that. Your body will, but I don't think the gel would.
Low conductivity would improve the effect of the myth (because it makes the electricity more likely to take a shortcut through the metal, which heats up the metal more, which is what causes flash burns). Anyway, dry skin isn't particularly conductive to begin with.
I dont think the bra and piercing testing was all that definitive. They where using ballistic jelly, which I have to imagine doesn't have the same electrical conductivity that a human body has.
Lol they went with the vandalized graffiti'd bra boutique...interesting choice...less visible and embarrassing? I cant imagine many people would want to shop there.
Easier to film in, probably more used to it. You go to Costco and say "hey can we film in your bra department" and they're gonna turn you down before you get five words in.
I assume this bra burning myth is when paramedics use the paddles? If so the myth is busted because paramedics would just cut it off before doing anything, no modesty when your life hangs in the balance. Now if this was just some average person doing it then maybe they leave the bra on.
Metric unit for liquid volume. One litre of water weighs 1kg (about 2.2lb) and has a volume of 1000 cubic centimetres (roughly equivalent to a 4 inch cube)
When my guy quit his nipple piercing, it had nothing to do with electricity. My tongue stud kept getting caught in his nipple ring, and it didn't improve much when he switched to barbells. I miss the piercings, but it's his body, so his choice. I personally think if I am ever killed by electricity, it will be because I am trying to watch one last YT video while water somehow makes my 4th floor apartment flood. I might have claimed "lightening strike" but I am not that close to my windows. To be fair, I worry much more about being killed by a person with a gun in the parking garage across the street... their bad aim could give me a bad night...
Would like to see them shoot some gas tanks with tracer and API ammo. Gunpowder doesn't burn faster inside of a gun, instead, the gun traps the gasses created by it burning and those gasses force the bullet to travel down the barrel so that the gasses can escape the confined area of the chamber of the gun. For a science show, these guys know very little about science. The number of Fs assigned to the powder determines how fine it is - 4F is way too fine as it burns far faster than pistol and rifle powder, which is normally 2F - 4F is what you would normally use for the priming tray of a flintlock. As usual, they know even less about firearms than they know about science.
And you think those arrive in your tank by magic? They crack crude oil into all sorts of different lengths of hydrocarbon and then blend them together to get consistent product for fuel. Otherwise you get too many hard starts.
There is something inherently silly about holding a blowtorch in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other. "we want to light things on fire... But not too much on fire!"

Jamie honestly meant it! in the United States, most car's speedometers (especially in older vehicles) don't have individual number markers below about 10-5mph and the needle becomes inaccurate and insensitive to moving very slowly vs not moving at all, even if the speedometer works perfectly fine at most roadway/highway speeds. some higher-tech speedometers in newer cars that use screens instead of dials are more accurate at very low speed, but in that old truck, i easily believe that it's that the speedometer just plain isn't that sensitive.

Second...I studied archaeology, yet I totally dismissed the factor of _'Time/Age'_ 'xD
The making of sum of the best arsonists😂....or worst
People complain when truckers smoke while fueling, they should have watched the video first lol. Couldn't even ignite it with a blow torch, you think a cigarette is going to do it? Good job. lol
I actually saw a video of a woman blowing up a gas pump doing that. You could watch the flame go from her cigarette to the top of the hose attached to the pump and not the nozzle. Maybe the hose wasn't sealed properly?
I'd be more worried about the gasoline fumes that are inevitably present
@@somedude3443 Almost certainly. Gasoline _liquid_ is hard to ignite but if there's any source of vapors, poof.
Try getting a stick draw line put powder in
Diesel does not ignite because it needs pressure in order to explode there is a reason why you do not put spark plugs in a diesel engine because diesel does not ignite it explodes under pressure
I feel like the gas would burn quicker with less liquid gas on the ground. Let it evaporate a bit more and the evaporation accelerates. My only qualification is being a pyro.
that black poweder line is way to carefully placed. a western bandit wouldnt be that careful.
Brings me back in time, in which „old“ Phones were high end. Adam holding pround his iphone 4 or sum, stopping the time and using the calculator. It was monumental in 2007
iPhone 4 was years later. Only the first iPhone was out then. And yes, by far far far the coolest phone at the time. First true smart phone I'd say.
So liquid jet fuel doesn't burn? So... ✈✈+ 🏢🏢 ≠ 🥞 ? 🤔 Well, _thank god for them' thermites, am a' right!?_ 😧
He had more of a bust than the redhead?😢
whos the girl helping Adam at 7:37 ?
Maybe it’s Jess…?
Looks like Jess to me. Should have more camera time.
If you can not firebup jet fuel with a blowtorch, how can airplanes get on fire?
So finale of die hard 2 was bullshit??? Jet fuel doesn't burn at all?? 😭
Ethanol is faster than petrol.
Ethanol burns faster but takes more energy/heat to ignite which tends to equalize each other.
We use high ethanol fuel, E85, in racing and one of it's advantages is due to this property is its naturally more resistant to pinging and detonation. The fact that it takes more heat to vaporize also helps cool the air/fuel mix and make more power.
Methanol, another alcohol used for racing, has similar properties but even more so.
Bras & nipple piercings is just my friend group at the point.
I think for the movies....they put a detonation device IN the Gas tank of the vehicle, set it off soon as the fire trail catches up to it.
Rip Grant
It would really surprise me in the kegg did not explode…. How else would a canon go of ?
Jet fuel is desiel bit a differant grade of it
out of all of them im surprised at which one died. rip
It really was more freak of a death than anything they tried on the show would have been. Sad and surprising.
The Vikings get credit for gunpowder now. There's a manuscript from about the year 1200 - 1250 (don't recall besides it is 50 years prior to china at least) with 25 different recipes from rockets and small arms to the first cannons. The ones we get the word "barrel"(s) for firearms, the first were logs oftrn wrapped in leather and banded like a cooper's whiskey barrel.
Can someone pls try this with an electric vehicle? I'm sure those lithium batteries have bigger ka-boom-boom power..
Never thought about it but frick yeah, shooting against an electric car is so freaking dangerous
Ahhh!!! Y'all realize they are all "retired"!!! (RIP Grant Imahara)
Besides the EXPLODING EV IS A FACT not a myth!!!
1000% CONFIRMED:ALL TESLA EXPLODES EVEN FIREMAN CAN'T PUT OUT THE FIRE UNLESS AN ENTIRE TITANIC ICEBERG WAS DUMP ON IT!!!
😂😆😛😁😜😝🤣
The Jackson Autoship explosion became so destructive it killed a couple of fireman because AMERICAN ARE SELLING OFF THERE 3yr old USED TESLAS.... Even American don't like Tesla!!!
😂😆😛😁😜😝🤣
it would have been fun making the script for the voiceover!!!!
Fossil fuels have a much higher energy density.
@@Dennis19901 You are technically correct, but energy density is not the only factor.
Heck yeah! A highly toxic electric fire. As a bonus, it even has a tendency to go off randomly!
I can't believe how oblivious people are. Lithium being ever more rare, consumable, toxic, and mined used cheap or unpaid labor in inhuman conditions. And somehow it's more ecological than plain old CO2 from (not-)fossil fuels.
mythbusters introduced me to bra's......said no one ever....lol
"Jet fuel" jet fuel or Av gas jet fuel? Don't take these guys as gospel, you might run across Low Lead 100, that's just leaded gasoline a little more premium than car premium. There's probably 50 kinds of aviation fuel. You'll only find a few at a time tho, many are military like Hy-Lox or hypergolics and you don't have to worry about them.
Yes they still use leaded gas and yes it is despicable.
Avgas isn't jet fuel, it's for propeller engines. Jet fuel is jet fuel. (Most likely JP-4.)
This episode taught me to hate the term 'butter zone'.

@@Cynic_6489 and me "petered out"
We are being progressive with dis episode 🗣️
Hhaha I want to come back to this simple times
What happens when you have a hole at the top of the gas tank and at the bottom and you light a fire on top side of the gas tank, does it go in, does it burn if does go in, does ut goes boom then?
I don't think adding a hole would increase the amount of vapour.
So in Die Hard 2 …the Yippy-ki-yay, motherf*çker scene wouldn’t have worked. Boooooooo
This episode shows how Gasoline is far safer than natural gas. Well, even lithium batteries.
They could have done a quick test with diesel in the fuel tank too to see if it would perform even better.
I think the flames gonna travel faster if there is wind pushing on that direction.
I would really doubt that, the vapour would blow away and be less flammable like the initial experiments.
What is gasoline.? Can I guess it is petrol. 😂
Yes
9:22 Did the voice-over guy just refer to a defibrillator as a "heart starter"? I thought this was a science show. A defibrillator STOPS the heart, it does not restart it.
bruh the show was marketed to children to get them excited about STEM fields. there is a bunch of shit in this show that isn't 'science'. It's just fun.
Also a defibrillator *is* meant to restart your heart. The narrator isn't trying to spread misinformation lmfao
"If the heart rhythm stops due to cardiac arrest, also known as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a defibrillator may help it start beating again."
A simple Google search is all you needed to do before making such a ridiculous statement.
Why are there posters of women in the changing room? Do women like to look at other women while they try on bras?
I understand, but I didn't know woman did it.
Advertising.
It's an upscale boutique aimed at theater people and people who want to feel sexy and glamorous, so obviously they want to connect their products to glamour. "Wear our product and you can feel as great as she looks."
Het is de energie niet waard zo iemand tot rede te laten bezinnen. Ja ook ik ken dure woorden...
But those are some of the most simple words...expensive was the most expensive one and it's not very expensive.
Is the ballistic gel that they made the body out of even going to conduct electricity? I think they forgot to consider that. Your body will, but I don't think the gel would.
From what I've heard ballistic gel has a conductivity similiar to that of human flesh.
Low conductivity would improve the effect of the myth (because it makes the electricity more likely to take a shortcut through the metal, which heats up the metal more, which is what causes flash burns). Anyway, dry skin isn't particularly conductive to begin with.
Wait!!! is that Bigbird costume in the background?!?!?
I never notice befoee (even from watching rhis on TV) thwy have sesame street on set!!!
😂😆😛😁😜😝🤣
Imy grant
I dont think the bra and piercing testing was all that definitive. They where using ballistic jelly, which I have to imagine doesn't have the same electrical conductivity that a human body has.
10:18 Correct. It is disturbing. The world has gone insane in the last twenty ys.
What's even more disturbing is that society is going backwards to a time of bigotry and intolerance.
@@ambulocetusnatans all in the name of "tolerance"
@ambulocetusnatans Evil shouldn't be tolerated.
Lol they went with the vandalized graffiti'd bra boutique...interesting choice...less visible and embarrassing? I cant imagine many people would want to shop there.
40A/AA is an outlier size you wouldn't be able to find in the average store, so they'd have to find a boutique.
Easier to film in, probably more used to it. You go to Costco and say "hey can we film in your bra department" and they're gonna turn you down before you get five words in.
I assume this bra burning myth is when paramedics use the paddles? If so the myth is busted because paramedics would just cut it off before doing anything, no modesty when your life hangs in the balance. Now if this was just some average person doing it then maybe they leave the bra on.
WTF is a liter? 6:44
Basically another word for a quart.
Metric unit for liquid volume. One litre of water weighs 1kg (about 2.2lb) and has a volume of 1000 cubic centimetres (roughly equivalent to a 4 inch cube)
When my guy quit his nipple piercing, it had nothing to do with electricity. My tongue stud kept getting caught in his nipple ring, and it didn't improve much when he switched to barbells. I miss the piercings, but it's his body, so his choice. I personally think if I am ever killed by electricity, it will be because I am trying to watch one last YT video while water somehow makes my 4th floor apartment flood. I might have claimed "lightening strike" but I am not that close to my windows. To be fair, I worry much more about being killed by a person with a gun in the parking garage across the street... their bad aim could give me a bad night...
Would like to see them shoot some gas tanks with tracer and API ammo.
Gunpowder doesn't burn faster inside of a gun, instead, the gun traps the gasses created by it burning and those gasses force the bullet to travel down the barrel so that the gasses can escape the confined area of the chamber of the gun.
For a science show, these guys know very little about science.
The number of Fs assigned to the powder determines how fine it is - 4F is way too fine as it burns far faster than pistol and rifle powder, which is normally 2F - 4F is what you would normally use for the priming tray of a flintlock.
As usual, they know even less about firearms than they know about science.
What a bullshit talk. Diesel is not "formulated". It's just longer carbon chains, not that easily evaporating as those in gasoline.
And you think those arrive in your tank by magic? They crack crude oil into all sorts of different lengths of hydrocarbon and then blend them together to get consistent product for fuel. Otherwise you get too many hard starts.
