I'm still caught on the fact that he made a giant mechanical wooden semi-automatic shooter, you don't need to load each wood, you just need to pull back & shoot!
Wow, about 25 years ago I was out hunting and I was talking to an old timer. He told me when he was a teen he made his own wooden gun. He used a small amount of some kind of home made gunpowder. When he lit the powder in the touch hole instead of exploding is was just fizzling out the touch hole. So he grabbed a stick and shoved it into the touch hole. Next thing he knew the wooden gun was ripped apart by the force of the deflagration... his hand had the scar to prove it all those decades later. The log splitting in this video kind of reminded me of the story.
The A-Team's tree canon had a much wider internal diameter. Hence way more volume for the gas mix. With a gas seal behind the projectile, reinforcement around the canon and the right mixture, you get the intended result.
No you don’t and if you do you get something that will blow 8 times out of 10, the thickness of the A team’s cannon is far less than what’s needed to sustain an explosion
The reason their propane/oxygen mix didn't send the lumber flying was that the lumber was too heavy and the mixture still managed to leak past it. Even if they managed to seal it, it would most likely still shrapnel the "cannon" rather than send that lumber flying. Remember that a 1 lbs cannon ball is usually being shot from a 1000+ lbs cannon, usually made of bronze or iron. Sure, you can make a cannon out of wood but it will fatigue fast.
They did test a wooden cannon with a proper cannonball (I don’t know the episode number) and it was fairly effective, however almost a one shot weapon. The added friction from the length of the projectile and the lack of any wadding behind it made it basically useless
I dunno. I think if they really disliked each other this wouldn't work. They just aren't natural buds. I think they have space and do respect each other's strengths. I'm impressed with them for managing this show well together despite their differences.
@@jennyreid722 I saw interviews with both of them, it is true they did not like one another for a bit. But they are also professional enough to hide that when the camera is rolling.
You can see the cut marks on the socket when Jamie picks it up for the first time and the rubber marks on the wood as the magazine was getting tested before the wheel was ever near it.
Also, if you look at it. There are marks on it, showing how to assemble it. If you ever built something in a time crunch, there are so many details to leave out. That was prebuilt. Look at the trigger handle, why make such a complicated part instead of just a board. That handle alone took 1 hour. But still, nice build 👌🏻
@@piti_rocks and both might just use the same measurements for standardization. I've plugged a leaking kitchen sink with a garden hose, have a drill bit that fits perfectly in a dremel and mounted a computer fan with screws from the hardware store.

For that 2x4 launcher i'd get table saw, rise blade so only the teeth are sticking out, and mount a wheel opposite to blade to keep the boards down and onto the blade. May need adjust height of blade to hardness of wood in stock, but if you have powerfull enough saw, you can launch it as fast as you can shove boards into running blade.
Nicely pulled off your attack against your bad guy's Was fantastic . and your sewer tunnel explosion was very cool nicely busted I do feel very sad for buster. Crash test guy
As you can see in A team video, there is a gas tank connected to "log canon" witch contains mixture of propain and oxygen and casting way bigger explotion camera witch produses way more gas presure flow to push projectile stronger and longer through "log pipe" insted of explotes small amount of gas very fast. So its very difriend experiment from A team video.
There's some neat easter eggs in the opening. Adam's tag has an email and says he has a PHD as an Astro biological time machine scientist. The door also says "Please close the door if you're the last one down."
The wooden canon already cracked. Yes they fixed it but since its not fully sealed anymore, leaks and dilution will affect the results. This one needs a revisit they should prepare a dozen or so wooden canons and do the mixture again to dial in the sweet spot.
20:39 Propane is C³H⁸ Burnt result is 3×CO² + 4×H²O So you need 10 Oxygen atoms, or 5×O² So: 3×CO² + 5×O² ➡️ 3×CO² + 4×H²O So the stoichiometric mix is 3 moles of Propane to 5 moles of oxygen.
Something to note is that 5x the concentration of oxygen will lead to >>5x the boom. In a reaction between propane and oxygen there will be a non-linear relationship between the purity of the oxygen in the air and the rate of reaction. This is why we went from a meer puff to barrel exploding absurdity.
18:54 Lol:):) I really not expect that but iam sure wood cant hold much pressure anyway. What about use gunpowder?? In movie you see loots of smoke instead of flames. 42:53 If this is not lethal hit iam president:)
The ammo just happend to have a mark from the tire before they used it😅 same with the socket on the wrench. It has cuts to fit over the nuts for the wheel
You'd think Jamie, at least, would be old enough to remember that physics worked differently in the 80s. They're trying to recreate 80s effects (physics v15887.257.255) in the 2000s (physics v15888.100.202).
I feel like if the propane mixture had the power to blow out the log barrel, it had the power to launch the ammo. Infact the launch was a lot worse after the barrel blew out, implying the barrel was not as good, not that the propane wasnt energetic enough.
For the log cannon, a main part they missed that might have changed a lot. The log had been scorched. Thus hardening it, but mainly air and gas would not get pulled away by the wood. The chard wood would better channel the gas out of the cannon. Also the car flipped because it was speeding forward and hit another car right after the blast. You see it in the clip that the car gets blasted up hits a parked car and flips over.
Welp, They've both admitted they weren't exactly friends and never hung out outside of work. But they were both Professionals and that's what made that show work so well for as long as it did.
@@A_Haunted_Pancake I can imagine that working with someone the whole day, quite closely sometimes when you aren't exactly the best match personality-wise would mean that spending any further time with that person would be detrimental. Perhaps if they had met outside of work they'd grow tired of each other much sooner.
@@DaReaperZ You can enjoy working with someone without being friends with that person. That didn't dislike or hate each other. They just weren't friends, that's all.
@@Dennis19901 more like work friends, they did enjoy working together even though they were total opposites personality wise. Long story short, they just weren't in each other social circles.
The exact TV show version of the cannon clearly wouldn't work and is rightly busted. But feel they could have done a few things to improve it. First of all, surely the inner barrel would need to be a lot smoother? Looked pretty rough. Maybe put a ball-bearing underneath for the ammo to roll on? Also their stopper looked a bit flimsy and probably scraped the sides. Perhaps an unconnected wad of cloth would be better, like old muskets? And to explore even further from the original idea, different shaped ammo? Also perhaps reinforce the back part of the trunk-barrel (where the explosion happens) with rope or wire? And seal it airtight, except for the barrel opening, so the gas can only travel one way?
43:08 _"We had our targets rigged so that when I hit one, another one would pop up in its place"_ ...camera switches and shows two crew members pulling on strings to pop the targets up. I miss the Myth Busters and their sense of humour.
A tale of two cannons. The propane cannon was basically a different solution to the tree cannon they did earlier, and there they had metal rings to keep the wood together. And that thing worked well. And the manhole dynamite iss also a cannon. And a bit like the toilet cherry bomb from the Simpsons episode.
im so glad this was their final season, after the trio got fired/left it wasnt the same, adam and jamie where the semi serious pros and the trio where the goofy (well educated ) kids and that dymamic made the show after that the writing went down hill, the budget went down hill and you could see the on screen tension between adam and jamie so much more and thankfully they ended the show before grant tragically pasted away. while its a shame the last season didnt have much omff to it im happy they called it before it got unbareable
@@CBe-ot8vuNo they didn't, that's just some silly rumour spread some time ago. Adam worked for Jamie before the show, they were colleagues and nothing more. Then MB started up and that persisted. Like Adam has said, they worked fine together but had different personalities and didn't hang out in their spare time. Both had and still gave the utmost respect for each other.
Even the original version of dynamite actually is fairly stable, used and stored correctly. It IS shock sensitive but the shock needed to set it off is the force equivalent of striking it full force with a sledgehammer or similar. HOWEVER, under less ideal conditions, original type of dynamite can be extremely unstable and volatile to handle since it tends to sweat nitroglycering that dries out and can form crystals. These crystals could detonate by just normal handling by hand, dropping it on the ground, or shaking the container they're in too hard, because the friction between and within the crystals as they get crushed will set them off. Most of the time, however, the NG just seeped out and evaporated in hot and/or moist environments and couldn't blow up at all because there were too little NG left in them. 😆 Worth mentioning is that liquid NG is pretty difficult to set off. You can throw a bottle at a wall and it will only wet it. Hammerstrike or open flame will detonate it for sure, though. Modern dynamite (which I assume they were using here) is very stable. It won't sweat nitroglycerin and you need to apply a helluvalot of force to detonate it kinetically. It too could become slightly more unstable if stored incorrectly and getting really old or really hot, of course, but they wouldn't have that in a show like this. Hence, I'd say they exaggerate the danger a lot and waving the dynamite in his hand like that was perfectly safe. Even if he had accidentally thrown it at the ground nothing could have happened. However, better they make people fearful of handling dynamite rather than giving them a sense of safety about the stuff, saving someone from stupidly blowing themselves up with some old explosives they find in their grandparents' attic. 🤪
23:55 - When Jaime start giggling you know it's going to be epic.

Funny how all this years later, that's still one of Adam's favorite drill bits
Forstner bits are awesome lol
26:26 I love how Adam's imaginary spinning wheel already left tire marks on the piece of lumber.
I mena, Jamie isACTIVLY working on the motor/wheel part, stands to reason they were testing the basic concept as they went.
I also love that the lumber they found came from the elusive plywood board tree.
I'm still caught on the fact that he made a giant mechanical wooden semi-automatic shooter, you don't need to load each wood, you just need to pull back & shoot!
Wow, about 25 years ago I was out hunting and I was talking to an old timer. He told me when he was a teen he made his own wooden gun. He used a small amount of some kind of home made gunpowder. When he lit the powder in the touch hole instead of exploding is was just fizzling out the touch hole. So he grabbed a stick and shoved it into the touch hole.
Next thing he knew the wooden gun was ripped apart by the force of the deflagration... his hand had the scar to prove it all those decades later.
The log splitting in this video kind of reminded me of the story.
All of this design was here on site 🤓. No No no, that magazine is truly Jörg Sprave of the Sling shot channel 💪😎
The A-Team's tree canon had a much wider internal diameter. Hence way more volume for the gas mix. With a gas seal behind the projectile, reinforcement around the canon and the right mixture, you get the intended result.
I felt they failed on that one.
The A Team also had a massive expansion chamber on the forks with the oxy gas mix running into it, and 2inch pipes going to each log.
Unfortunately so close but so far Adam and Jamie
No you don’t and if you do you get something that will blow 8 times out of 10, the thickness of the A team’s cannon is far less than what’s needed to sustain an explosion

What kind of chocolade is the sigar made of, to not melt in that heat?
Gas cannon would work, just needed 2 changes.
1> Better seal around the ammo.
2> Larger space to mix gas.
As you can see in A team video, there is a gas tank connected to "log canon" witch contains mixture of propain and oxygen and casting way bigger explotion camera witch produses way more gas presure flow to push projectile stronger and longer through "log pipe" insted of explotes small amount of gas very fast. So its very difriend experiment from A team video.
timing. I just saw the log cannon episode on the Pluto TV Streaming service yesterday

The wooden canon already cracked. Yes they fixed it but since its not fully sealed anymore, leaks and dilution will affect the results.
This one needs a revisit they should prepare a dozen or so wooden canons and do the mixture again to dial in the sweet spot.
The correct term for projectiles of that size is not “rat at tat”. Its. “Dakka dakka”

Propane is C³H⁸
Burnt result is 3×CO² + 4×H²O
So you need 10 Oxygen atoms, or 5×O²
So:
3×CO² + 5×O² ➡️ 3×CO² + 4×H²O
So the stoichiometric mix is 3 moles of Propane to 5 moles of oxygen.
Something to note is that 5x the concentration of oxygen will lead to >>5x the boom. In a reaction between propane and oxygen there will be a non-linear relationship between the purity of the oxygen in the air and the rate of reaction.
