@@jamesTBurke Grant Thompson is the original creator of the channel. He sadly passed away and his channel has been kept up by family and friends. He had amazing ideas for kids and all ages to make in their house. He was truly awesome. He is The King Of Random (T.K.O.R).
I'm glad that you guys acknowledged that the gun actually used for the door was actually a staple gun rather than a nail gun. I've seen a bunch of videos on the topic of the traps that refer to it as a nail gun, and it drives me nuts.
Problem with your electric sink: Kevin used an AC/DC Arc Welder while you used a compact tac welder. They put out MUCH different energy as the Arc welder is designed for doing those big blobs of welding for reinforcing beams and such while your little tac welder is made for doing small dabs to hold something together for a short time. Myth Busters proved this one real with an actual Full size Arc Welder set to MAX settings (Not what Kevin had it set to if you check the video)
I like what you guys are trying to do. I honestly do. These can be better planned, such as having a dummy like Zombie go BOOM and Kentucky Ballistics, and discussing the physics by what's happening.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The dummy would be more accurate than the watermelon, particularly with the plaster bag. One because the neck itself, even if it snaps, is connected to the spine and the spine would take some of the force down the vertebrae before the person falls. By the time they hit the ground they may Crack the back of their skull but it wouldn't explode into pieces. There's more but for the sake of keeping this short I'm just saying I agree.
A kid in 6th grade had a nailgun shoot through his skull on accident from his dad dropping the equipment near his head, he back to school a few weeks later with the xray showing the nail in his head before they took it out. Wild
Shame they didnt have a length of metal piping to try as well. I wonder if the heater on the door handle would actually get the knob hot enough to burn, without igniting the door its fitted to?
He throws it out in front of him. It even shows it in the clip. It's an overhand throw, so that momentum coupled with the back swing is what causes the extra force
The original paint cans were full of paint, which has a higher density, thus greater mass. Kevin also forcefully threw them over the railing from about a metre higher. You would actually have greater mass, a wider swing arc, plus the force of the throw. The real paint cans would have hit with significantly more force. It would have been better to stage a more accurate experiment, and maybe use better analogues.
Just a note that higher density doesn't mean greater mass. Density also changes with volume. It would be more correct to say they had a higher mass thus a greater density and more momentum.
@@Yondi1000 - Higher density at the same volume (one gallon) does mean greater mass. Paint is more dense than water. One gallon of paint would have greater mass than one gallon of water.
I just want to say thank you I had lost hope in this channel a while back when the channel departed entirely from the original feeling that came from Grant. But I figured I'd check back in and after looking at some of the videos of the last 6-11 months from you coming on screen has brought some of that excitement back and definitely got me to resubscribe. So thank you for giving us a chance to get TKOR back in the closest way we have been able to see in a while.
The hotdog welder test wouldn't be too dramatic bc you dont need an excessive amount of Voltage/Amperage to form a closed circuit. If you tossed that hotdog thing so it touched 2 high tension wires at the same time the dogs would explode. (170kv + @5 amps.)
The lack of safety frustrates me. The shield stunt: wear a frigging helmet. If you fall on your head from that height, you'll be in hospital! Electricity stung: you have safety goggles and gloves. Use them! Standing behind the target...
@@993ti I'm still part of a bygone era where I could walk from school on my own without helicopter parents and I had a chemistry kit as toy. LOL I'm now a trained Chemist and I've seen so many violations and accidents that it just pisses me off when people don't even follow basic safety rules...
@TheKingofRandom No, but many get seriously injured by making just one misstep on stairs... What you do is riskier and it can go well for 1000 times, but trust me: you'll regret the time it goes wrong!
06:30 high amps but low volts? Yeah that will unalive you HARD. A person can take thousands of volts, if the ampage is low. Thats what will end you, the ampage. ESPECIALLY if you grab with your hands and let the current cross your heart.
5:38 with electricity, you need volts and amps to kill. The frequency and the duration of the shock is also a factor. I have a modified transformer that outputs nearly a thousand amps but is limited to 2v, I can’t even feel it on my fingers when I touch it, yet that same current can melt copper in seconds.
If you guys are interested, I think it'd be really cool to see what happens to different liquids in a humidifier(I.e. soda, cleaning products, or ink) love the work you guys do, and hope to see more😁
When the movie was released in 1990, those of us with brains already knew that 99% of these would leave you taking a trip to the E.R. It's as though you watch the 3 Stooges thinking any of their Physical comedy would be Survivable with minimal injury. 😏🙄🙃
Actually if anything I’d assume the opposite, water is pretty dense. Depending on if it’s a water or oil based paint too, oil is less dense than water.
@@TheKingofRandom and it depends on the color cause the brighter more white the color is it weighs slighty more then a darker color cause there is less paint in a darker color it can be about 2-12 oz lighter so not a big difference and yeah a gallon of paint its going to be little be heavier than water cause of the additives to paint again only a few oz but it will be close enough i work at a hardware store int the paint deparment all day so i lift and mix the cans and 5 gallon buckets alot so i know a few things about paint im not expert but ive learned a thing or two in my two and half years working there
I think that they did a great job. Not everything can be making explosives and dangerous things. Not ALL people wanna see that type of stuff even though I bet we both enjoy that content. However MOST everyone has seen home alone hence the reason AND the correct season for this video to be made. They don't do this for free dude. This has a high chance for monetization.
It's come a long ways from what it was a few years ago, but I would like to see more helpful science and diy projects... I really loved Grants vids on survival skills and the like
While using a framing nailler a few years ago I had a nail go through a 2x4 that cracked and deflected the nail. The nail then hit the cinder block behind the two pieces of wood and came straight at my right eye. Luckily I was wearing safety glasses. It all happened so fast I saw the nail hit the glasses before I could blink. It was amazing and frightening at the same time.
that welder looks like it might be a little smarter than the one in the movie. the one used in the movie was a buzz box and is nothing more than a transformer hooked up to 240. the beep from yours and the size suggests it isn't up to the task that you are trying to test.
With the paint can, I think you missed a fact. The paint can, as well as the drop, there is a ledge which the rope would hit. Thst would act on the can by shortening the rope and giving the can a "whipping" effect, increasing its velocity. I can't really work out the maths behind it but I think we'd be looking at some very nasty injuries.
Just a pitch in here, I am a professional welder and Fabricator. In most cases a welder will not actually shock you if you complete the circuit with stick welding or with mig. But if you have a tig machine, they use a high frequency (usually around 80v) to ignite the arc. And that will get you no matter what if you get near it, but it dont hurt or anything. I am sure you can receive a lethal shock from a welder, but yes, ideal circumstances would be required. Which is almost impossible to achieve in real world setting.
I doubt the two separate sausages, even connected by a copper rod, are a great conductor of electricity. especially when they are not really touching each other, just the capper bar. Anything acting as an insulator, would interfere with that connection.
I'm pretty sure he didn't have shoes on when he touched the sink. He wasn't grounded. I think you should redo the sink test again and have water in the ground.
I can already answer this medically, NO. Theydve died in so many different ways irl- like the paint cans, the flames the bricks (second movie) etc. If ur wondering it’d break the cervical spine stopping u being able to breath.
Yes you can be shocked while welding. I did to myself twice when i was welding a shiv on to the deck of a towboat. I guess that will happen when you have your knee in a puddle of water while sparking an arch

@@DanielGoulsonI think they did a great job but if you want to put up a Home Alone video testing some kookie experiments feel free on your youtube budget in Biden's economy.
Sure the paint can pendulum's can that's full of paint can hurt badly, but what if the paint can was empty? 🧐 Plus, is the can heavier when it's filled with water or filled with paint?

Who's gonna argue this?
Nobody. That's who.
I agree. Even though i thought 3 was ok.

The thing that has always bothered me about that paint can scene is that he doesn't really throw it out, it's more of a drop than a swing.
And it makes more sense considering it is hanging from the railing exactly opposite to where Kevin stands.
@@nayyarrashid4661Nope, Grant Thompson

Can confirm it is possible to get shocked by a welder. I shocked myself on my TIG welder and it was NOT fun 😂
Loved this video, perhaps test other movie stunts/scenes in a future video.
I'm no plumber, but the hot and cold water lines are technically connected to each other, so wouldn't the welder short itself out and trip a breaker

About 2-4 pounds less
Was that a welder in the sink scene or really big jumper pack for jumping a big commercial/industrial vehicle engine?
That was definitely a commercial grade car battery jump starter.

depending on the state, he may have had the right to defend the castle. which means he could use lethal force to stop the bandits.
Pretty sure that law doesn't allow booby traps
All traps are illegal due to the fact they can't tell the difference between a robber and anyone else.
NY in home alone 2 so no.
Fellow theory believers, if someone doesn't understand how Kevin could become Jigsaw, show them this video. He was lethal from the beginning.
Hi there, I am a new subscriber from Morocco.
This is the single greatest TKOR video ever
You could survive Home Alone 1, but the traps in part 2 are lethal.
Framing nail guns are no joke! Had 18 gauge nails rip through plywood and almost hit people. It really hurts when you have a nail stuck in your thumb.
Gnarly video ❌
Safety glasses advertisement ✅
You used a 110 welder and the movie used a 220 welder. 110 is a tickle but 220 is a whole different story.
Technically, your water in the paint can isn't technically valid. because paint weighs more than water. There's about a five lb difference.
Mythbusters already covered home alone
I'm pretty sure he didn't have shoes on when he touched the sink. He wasn't grounded. I think you should redo the sink test again and have water in the ground.
You also have to take in account the psi going to the nail gun.

try making the two hotdogs actually touch each other rather than a dowel separating them

5:44 hmmmm maybe because the tape is blocking the hot dogs from touching each other
There are a number of "Doctor's diagnoze 'Home alone' injuries" on TH-cam so I already know the answer: No, I would not survive.
On normal humans, all of these traps would be deadly, but the wet bandits aren't mere mortals like you and I.
I seen people do the pain can, burning door handle and falling iron traps in real life....surprisingly they ware completely fine after a while
Yes you can be shocked while welding. I did to myself twice when i was welding a shiv on to the deck of a towboat. I guess that will happen when you have your knee in a puddle of water while sparking an arch
I've been shocked several times myself just from sweating with both an ac welder and a dc welder

Older sink , more metal than plastic fixtures and I guarantee that welder isn’t putting out as much as the arc welder would’ve in the movie
Paint is more dense than water also so that should have been taken into consideration.
Mmmm, true but assuming it was a water based paint the difference wouldn’t be much
i beleave in the sink one he was using a battery charger, not a welder. Thats why it had two clamps a positive and negative. Just a thought.
Omg under an hour YAY ❤🎉
Buy those glasses in bulk. 😂
So with the paint can, Kevin throws it down as hard as he can which would give the paint can lots of added velocity
this channel ain't the same since grant died

Not sure how much difference it would make but, it looked like was was way closer up to the door, almost pressning against it.
