      28:00 exploding water , myth is less about water and more applicable to soup where a super heated layer can form sub surface, there was a phase where glass rods were bought to help disipate layer heat in microwaves , and they worked out that actually making the turntable wheels less round , (making the plate wobble a little ) is sufficient to disturbe super heating layers so the jerkey movement of the glass tray , is actually by design ,

    in these early ones where you can see a comparatively young Jamie and Adam getting used to each other and actually rubbing each other up the wrong way quite a bit more- they try to sugar coat it but you can see why some of the crew predicted the show wouldn't last as long as it did, once you take in to account that we now know they didn't really get on.
    it also makes the bits where they actually say they enjoyed doing something together and respected each others abilities all the more wholesome- like whenever they have to co-ordinate movements in excavators.

      Pretty sure that Adam has actually said that the producers tried to play up the drama between the two of them in the early episodes to make sure they got ratings, only for them to get less pressure later on since the studio knew the show was successful

      Adam also said that both him and Jamie were not into it. There was tension between them and arguments but they didn't really want it to be a main part of the show. It wasn't that bad, since you often could see them sharing a joke, or laugh, or high five etc. And as I understand producers at first wanted to see more heated arguments and tension, and there were this parts with Jamie saying some (actually truthful) unflattering words about Adam.

    • @WalkerRileyMC
      @WalkerRileyMC 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Adam had worked for Jamie on a number of occasions before the filming of the show....they knew each other's personalities extremely well. Jamie was the one who had recommended bringing Adam on because his personality was not as hyperactive as Adam's and he knew he needed someone to play off his more straight-man persona. And they were never shy on saying that they were colleagues, not friends.
      My understanding from various interviews from prior employees of Jamie's is he's ridiculously knowledgeable about nearly any subject, but he's not the best leader. He wants things done his way and does not enjoy suggestions counter to that. You can sometimes see that in episodes when Kari was still more in the background and Jamie is directing her rather sternly (remember at that point she was still on his payroll, not Discovery's) and often when Adam expresses his opinion on how an experiment should be done.
      I imagine working for him would be both excellent on the learning but frustrating on anything else.

      On the other hand if the show was me and Adam, it would have been a blast. I can be a pretty good ham, and we would have bounced of the walls together.

    It is so much fun remembering to watch these as a kid and being amazed at the results but now that I'm rewatching them as an adult and as a scientist, I can often say immediately whether something is real. The penny off the Empire State Building won't work because terminal velocity keeps it from becoming dangerously fast. The tanning bed one doesn't make sense because ultraviolet light (which is used to tan you because it simulates the sun) is literally on the completely other side of the EM spectrum from microwaves. Tanning can give you skin cancer, but it can't cook you.

    Picking up radio signals from fillings is a real thing. I experienced it a few times after getting fillings as a child when we drove by a radio station. It did not happen every time we drove by. Their test was inconclusive because they did not consider all the possibilities. It has more to do with the nerve and the filling acting like an antenna. The signal has to be strong and you have to be close to the source. It also has to be AM radio.

    Think this is relevant. Was retro fitting Conway Middle school in SC. The auditoriums major complaint was they often pickup the radio station across the street. The Auditorium had an old Bogen amp, with tubes in it, could hear the age from its hum. It was replaced with a 250 Watt Peavy amp with isolation transformers. The audio from the radio station could still be heard in the back ground but lessened from the aged one and no more hum. Next i took the wiring apart. the audio path was solid steel negative wire a copper wire and a steel single shield. All the wiring was then replaced with stranded and a braided shield. Perfect audio no hum, no radio.

    While Lucy's stories seem exaggerated, I can verify by personal experience that it is possible to receive radio with fillings in teeth. I heard music coming out of my mouth for a short time. It was soft enough that I could only hear it when there was no other sound. It was coming from one specific location in my mouth. I was not able to figure out any more than that before it went away.
    My mouth had more fillings than teeth. Since then I have had crowns on all my teeth. Given that I had a large number of fillings for 20+ years and only heard radio once, it must take very specific conditions for it to happen.

    With microwave ovens, the two worst foods to prepare in them which shortens their life is popcorn and defrosting bread. Because the mass of the food is low, most of the microwaves are not absorbed, they get reflected back into the magnetron antenna and cause it to burn out over time. I have a burnt out magnetron from a customer who nearly burnt their house down because they only cooked popcorn in it and the machine was only three years old. There is an easy fix though, just put a cup of water in the microwave with the food to absorb the remaining energy and extend the life of your machine.

    And in the Netherlands there is a museum for the radio's that were used for telephoning to Indonesia. In those years they used low frequencies, which means very long wavelengths, and huge power. When people in the village close to these enormous antenna's rode a bicycle, the headlight would burn all by itself. The dynamo has a coil and magnets, well, that coil picked up enough energy, it didn't need turning anymore. I think Lucille Ball had such a powerfool radio station nearby, too. And those dangerous mercury and gold mixtures ARE metal, maybe these tune to certain radio bands. Ask the experts. It would not surprise me if this myth gets confirmed. Miss Ball is a great witness. But now you need smart ass radio amateurs, or the professionals in the military or communication companies. There are people who know how exactly how antenna's and radio receivers work.

    Well, back in the winter of 2012, in Colorado (at the Colorado Center for the Blind), my roommate in the apartment accidentally put a frozen foil, wrapped potato in the microwave, and tried to start it up. The resulting sparking, burning, smell, and aluminum oxide smoke definitely didn’t do very good things for our health. The microwave still worked afterward, but the potato was a total loss. 25:34

    I had a filling done when i was early 20s i think it was. Later in the day after i was home and in my bedroom i suddenly got a blast of radio like white noise/tuning tones, just a couole of seconds and not long after another blast. I could vaguely sense there was a station behind it. It definitely involved my new filling area but it blasted and echoed around my head really loud. It did it twice and fortunately never again.

      its context dependent, if you need the extra length you hold the short end, and if you need more torque you hold the long end. Here he's holding the short end because the long end would hit the metal next to the screw, meaning he'd have to take it out and reposition for each turn. if the screw was on a flat surface holding the long end would be more efficient

    I'm tired of myths being busted when they are not.
    Robert Hunsucker, a professor at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, explains how this phenomenon can actually occur.
    A radio receiver is made up of an antenna, a detector to convert the radio wave to an audio signal, and a transducer, which is anything that acts like a speaker. In very rare cases a person’s mouth can act as the receiver and their body acts as the antenna. A metallic filling can act as a semiconductor that detects the audio signal, and the speaker would be something in the mouth that vibrates enough to produce noise, like bridgework or possible a loose filling.

  • @colinmackie5211
    @colinmackie5211 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Disagree. As a radio technician we were taught that dissimilar metals join l in the presence of a strong radio signal became a diode. The response curve caused a distortion of the radio frequency , which with a small amount of capacitance became a detector of the radio frequency modulation.
    This was a real problem around two stations. Wire fences were renouned for picking up rf, rusty joints in the wire detecting and re radiating the signal even on a new frequency. Read about intermodulation products. This might be a busted MYTH, but it remains scientifically FACT.

    A Penny weighs 2.5 grams.
    That's about the same weight as .22 LR projectile.
    A .22LR traveling at just 1000 FPS will easily penetrate a skull.
    The Penny at 3000 FPS didn't?
    It had to hit with the flat side making impact.
    If it hit on the edge, it would have penetrated for sure.
    It's not that it didn't have enough mass or enough energy.
    The sectional density is just incredibly poor for a projectile when it strikes on the front or back.
    That's a different story if it strikes on the edge.
    If you melted the penny & casted it into a ball, it would also have fully penetrated the skull.
