THIS. I am actually concerned for the integrity of spacetime surrounding this event and all the computers that have displayed it. You can't have this much awesome in one place. You can't.
I don't know how amazing you guys think the lightning bolts look, but too me personally, they really do look facinating. You can see them move, curve and bend as if they are floating there!
Myth: Is Adam Savage awesome? Test: Put him in a metal cage being attacked by Tesla coils singing the Doctor Who theme and see what he does Conclusion: CONFIRMED
So you put Adam Savage in a blue box (well... Faraday Cage that has blue lighting) and had him dance to the sound of resonating electrical circuits that generate arcs at frequencies reminiscent of another madman in a blue box...... And I didn't get to be there?! Lol
@Exalion27 nah. The arcs are drawn toward the cage because it's grounded. Unless the electrical resistance of Adam's body suddenly became less than the resistance of the cage metal (making a more efficient ground source), he would never get anything more than mild burns, even in full contact with the cage.
Not glass, just thin meta wiring. The term is a "Faraday cage". Essentially, a metal cage makes the electricity travel on the outside and have the internal forces essentially balance out. A lot of electricity stunts involve this- there are other things done by Arc Attack doing the same thing and in some cases they do it with a Faraday suit which is essentially the same thing but made into something for someone to wear.
Interesting. My guess then is that the glass is between the person and the wire, yes? That would seem like the optimal way of making sure the person doesn't try something stupid (like putting an appendage on the outside of the mesh).
You know... I have come to realize something. I'm not sure this video could get any more nerdy/geeky. You take Adam Savage from Mythbusters... put him in a giant cage surrounded by gigantic singing tesla coils.... and then play Doctor Who. Maybe if he were cosplaying one of the Doctors, but that's the only way I could see it. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
I'll admit it, that was one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. Tell me, where can I get some tesla coils and some brilliant scientists to play me the Doctor Who theme?
This isn't the Doctor Who theme, this is in fact a song by Orbital called 'Dr Who'. Of course, it's based on the theme song. But it is definitely a different song.
People from the general public are allowed into this display faraday for their own experience between the coils. The glass is an added protection when surrounded by all the electricity.
Adam Savage in a cage being struck by 100,000w electric volts doing the robot to the Doctor Who theme.
The fact that this exists is a flaw in time.
+Felix Helix (Felix Fossil) this probably more like 10,000w, 100,00w would be far hotter
Hermes Trismegistus I assure you, Adam himself is adding an extra bit of heat.
Felix Helix
well the arcs probably would dance around him even without the Faraday cage...
Hermes Trismegistus
This is a joke --> *
This is your head --> o
The joke is going straight over.
Felix Helix
I think my joke went way farther over your head. Im implying that Adam Savage is in fact a Thunder God.
THIS.
I am actually concerned for the integrity of spacetime surrounding this event and all the computers that have displayed it. You can't have this much awesome in one place. You can't.
+woodfur00 Mineturtle: Hello! BOOOOM
I cannot believe how...proud of nerds all over the world I am..right now...at this very moment.
Nerds will not only rule the world, but provide the highest quality of entertainment and humor as they do so.
All i have to say is two words: Absolutely Fantastic!
Thank you for recording this epic moment in history.
I never thought id see Adam Savage standing in a Faraday Cage, doing the Robodance to Doctor Who theme, played on two Tesla Coils. And yet, here i am.
I was there, and I almost passed out at the shear awesomeness and nostalgic memories that this song has.
You, sir or madam, have just won the internet for today
I don't know how amazing you guys think the lightning bolts look, but too me personally, they really do look facinating. You can see them move, curve and bend as if they are floating there!
Myth Busters + Doctor Who = Can't get any better :D
I just got back from Maker Faire 2012. These guys were there again, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Does it mean that now Adam can never die? Sweet!
It's like.. I'm not even sure what to do with my life after watching this.
That's actually the same dance he made in the Mission Impossible Mythbuster's episode when showing off his Jamie mask.
For some reason.... I now want a Tesla coil alarm clock that plays the doctor who theme...
Myth: Is Adam Savage awesome?
Test: Put him in a metal cage being attacked by Tesla coils singing the Doctor Who theme and see what he does
Conclusion: CONFIRMED
DOCTOR WHO IS AWSOME
YES IT IS
Doctor Who mixed with Myth busters! Brilliant!
You could try the Back to the Future theme. You can even seat someone in a Delorean between the coils. (A car is basically a Faraday cage itself.)
probably the greatest thing i have ever seen in my life
cara sou fã de adam savage gosto de assistir sua serie mythbusters muito legal!
glad i was there to watch it live!
They even included the middle eight!
I die every other second I watch this only to be revived from the sheer amount of AWESOME
Suddenly? I've wanted that for ages!
So you put Adam Savage in a blue box (well... Faraday Cage that has blue lighting) and had him dance to the sound of resonating electrical circuits that generate arcs at frequencies reminiscent of another madman in a blue box...... And I didn't get to be there?! Lol
if ArcAttack is at my local maker faire next year i'll be sure to record them and any guests in HD, can't wait for that.
I could see Adam being the 12th Doctor. (Jamie would be the Silence)
Does the entire cast of mythbusters like doctor who?
***** I can see him talking about when he watched the originals.
@0:02 "I hope your mind has been expanded a little bit more."
My mind has been blown, thank you very much.
Yeah, that's probably the coolest thing I have ever seen.
I want to hear his speech before this too. AND THIS ROCKS!
@Exalion27 nah. The arcs are drawn toward the cage because it's grounded. Unless the electrical resistance of Adam's body suddenly became less than the resistance of the cage metal (making a more efficient ground source), he would never get anything more than mild burns, even in full contact with the cage.
LMAO... Awesomesause and full of win!! Made me giggle like a little school girl!
2 awesome thing Adam Savage and Doctor Who!
How can someone be so awesome at being a dork? Or so dorky at being awesome? Shit i lost my train of thought. Look, shiny things!
I've never been prouder of being a whovian
My inner geek is screaming up and down.
After these guys appeared on Americas Got Talent you knew this meeting had to eventually happen!
Not glass, just thin meta wiring. The term is a "Faraday cage". Essentially, a metal cage makes the electricity travel on the outside and have the internal forces essentially balance out.

Because the doctor who theme song is worth just under a million on its own :')
@Exalion27 looks like the inside of the cage is lined with plexiglass.. you can see a reflection...
this is the coolest thing ever...
@MrBozar: Saw ArcAttack live at Maker Faire this past fall, it's no joke!
That was amazing....
Lol! This is great. Love Adam's dance xD
Best video on TH-cam. No doubts about it.
@TheJazz747 It's the TV Show theme for Doctor Who...Only...more techno/electro because of the way they're producing the sound
mythbusters, tesla coils, and doctor who. all it needs is to somehow incorporate star wars and i can die happy
@TheJazz747 The theme song from the show "Dr. Who"
Volume has been muted by TH-cam.....
My life is now complete.
:) this is amazing..hello future carrer
I'd watch that show so hard
Everyone loves Adam Savage, because there is no vote on it :D
Interesting. My guess then is that the glass is between the person and the wire, yes? That would seem like the optimal way of making sure the person doesn't try something stupid (like putting an appendage on the outside of the mesh).
That's a good point. Yeah, I guess there is glass on this version. I'm not completely sure why this time they used it.
I think they should make this the new version of the theme song.
Raven Man no
kosmokat .V correction: HELL no
The One Who Does Things correction: Yes
At least once.
Carson Ver Planck even if its just one episode. just the coil not the shitty drumming
Megaman_XP Fair enough.
I wish they made a high quality sound file of this somehow
@Exalion27 u can accualy just touch it. The cage is bringen the electricity right to the ground and thats faster then true Adam.
@SubtitleDave yeah you can see adams reflection at one point
Suddenly....Adam Savage for 12 Doctor
Does the Platform one Eccleston dance!
@metaZen So when a person inside explodes the mess does not get on the audience...
You know... I have come to realize something. I'm not sure this video could get any more nerdy/geeky. You take Adam Savage from Mythbusters... put him in a giant cage surrounded by gigantic singing tesla coils.... and then play Doctor Who. Maybe if he were cosplaying one of the Doctors, but that's the only way I could see it. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
@TheTeRm1natorx There is glass or something inside the cage.
huh, a madman in a box...I'm detecting a theme
AWESOME
I'll admit it, that was one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. Tell me, where can I get some tesla coils and some brilliant scientists to play me the Doctor Who theme?
love it
This isn't the Doctor Who theme, this is in fact a song by Orbital called 'Dr Who'. Of course, it's based on the theme song. But it is definitely a different song.
If that happened, I would die happy.
oh that is so awsome
@FlyingAce1016 It's the theme to Doctor Who
That's AWESOME!!!! I'm a huge fan of Mythbusters!
And that works just fine.
I will bump that!!
MADNESS? THIS! IS! GALLIFREY!!!
Busted. Now dancing WELL, on the other hand...
i dont know what more weird the fact that he was dancing while lighting bolt were shot at him OR his dancing
@caballeds90 i believe that its 500,000 volts each.
EPIC DANCE!
Yes. By the Tesla Coils. Different wave lengths
@OliveTheBreloom Oh Doctor Who! Ty very much :)
sou fã desse cara!
Is the sound of the lightning part of the song too?? Like they're making it hit the notes and stuff?
I could live with that. XD
Oh WOW, That would have been Brilliant!
SO MUCH WIN.
People from the general public are allowed into this display faraday for their own experience between the coils. The glass is an added protection when surrounded by all the electricity.
Don't touch the cage, Adam
Yes the lightning is making the notes.
no idea who Adam Sandler is but that was a great show. I love that tune. And of course, the Tesla coils playing it.
oh ok do you know how to make one of that on small scale? if yes please send me the schematic i am so crazy about science
SO MUCH YES SOMEONE LINK THE MEME
DOCTOR WHO
I believe he already is in one.
An American as The Doctor? MADNESS!
then why is there a reflection on the cage?
