Elon Musk seemed to enjoy telling Joe Rogan about his great new idea of putting a barely contained bomb in the back seat of his Roadster!!
Why do you always have to put down his ideas?
Would be nice to see something positive
I wonder why you are so concerned with Elon Musk? Jealousy? Statues arent built of critics. You are a clever person create something new of your own. Let's start with new growth to this once beautiful channel, without having to ride the coattail of Musk's work.
Id love to see a brief compilation of all of elons questionable ideas.
Love the vids hands down favorite youtuber!
Literally elon is a common conman who has just enough achievements to be left aline
Solution: Compressed Air Roadways.
They can even blow the snow off in winter.
We could outfit the air intake with devices that create water from the air.
omg it's just so easy, you know the air hockey tables?
it's essentially the same, just cheaper, bigger and you can fly on it!!!!
it also generates a surplus of air (because it's compressed on-site and compressed air fits more air into a space of air than uncompressed air) and energy (by using the release of air to power a rotor which is connected to a generator) AAAAAAANNNDDD its a solution to global warming... when AIR decompresses, it gets cool (just like your fridge at home works!!) and that'll contradict global warming!!!!
WE CAN USE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATHMOSPHERE to create air-plastic cylinders.
AANNNDD
Because the decompression also cools the air-plastic-cylinder material, FREE WATER condenses on them, it drops down into a shaft and is collected and driven to areas with bad infrastructure and water supplies.
WIN WIN for EVERYONE!
I'm currently collecting money on kickstarter.
Our Goal is 900.000$ and we're currently at 160.000.000$, join our supporters to be one of the first people to have a compressed air roadway on his HOME STREET!
For every dollar, we aim a compressed-air-cylinder at anita sarkeesian and donate its velocity to her foundation!
@@woah-dude Or you can have a bubble bath when it rains!
@@jeffstorm someone should declare you space of headX!
Or better yet
SOLAT FREAKING COMPRESSED AIR ROADWAYS
Use nuclear reactors for cheap electricity? "Nah, that's dangerous!"
Put a 1000 bar pressure chamber on the back seat of your car? "Sounds fine!"
It is tho, he showed you how many clips of those failing? How many of those actually exist? He is usually factually correct but he still bends everything to look as bad as possible, to promote his perspective (that is skewed towards negativity) and i guess gather musk's haters for views.
@@harlisviikmae6240 Yes, he is probably dramatizing, but have you ever seem a high pressure car, because I haven't. So it can't be that good if car companies do not invest in it, they would do it for the money.
@@csucskos It is pretty weak right? So using it for acceleration is not the best thing to do with it, however it could maybe be just good enough to be worth its mass in cornering tho, i mean like hairpin turns on gravel or something. Assuming they can make storage/storagerefilling systems lighter.
@@harlisviikmae6240 I'm not sure what you are saying. Sorry.
@@csucskos Cold gas thrusters are not powerful enough to increase the accelaration of a roadster but could help turning in low grip situations like gravel or very wet road. Their power to weight ratio might be enough to help there.
“Billionaire, and inventor of the wheel..., sorry, the hyperdisk... Elon musk!”
Yeah good point. No need to reinvent the wheel
and add corners@@notprovided1131
Flying cars: For when you want the reliability and safety record of cars mixed with the individual survivability of plane crashes.
Ida no. Might get more stupid people out of the gene pool. :)
Individual survivability of plane crashes is quite amazing frankly.
And mix that with high blood alcohol levels and it's a recipe for disaster.
@@SioxerNikitaAre you missing the point? Individual survivability is the ratio of people in a plane crash who die to people in a plane crash who do not die. A far cry from people in a plane who die to people in a plane who do not die.
@@LoubrielJayneberg Yes, I'm aware, and there is actually a surprisingly large survivability rate for people who are in plane crashes. Around 95%, so are you missing the point, or do you think that plane crashes is only when the plane smacks straight into the ground? Car crash survivability is around 99%, so more survivable than a plane crash, obviously.
Are you trying to do a stupid gatcha here or something? Or were you just simply super ignorant on the subject, and tried to educate me on something you apparently misunderstood?
I'm not a physicist, I'm mechanic and this idea of installing a this type of thruster to a vehicle is the most inefficient, ineffective, irregular and pointless way to spend the resources.
With my more than 20 years of experience as a mechanic, I've seen a lot of bullshit, some of them was ok but a lot's of them was like this. Even I was in that stadium like him when I was starting
to learn, let's say "imagining" things, but thinking as a mechanic, I was always put things 1st on the paper taking all conditions in concern, after that I decide is it worth it or not.
With orbital mechanics I was start to understanding it after a 10 years of studying of it, and even now sometimes I need a good proof or calculation to conclude or solve a problem.
But this, it's totally waste of money if you ask me, specially with knowledge people have now in this century.
It's just plain dangerous lol
This is why nobody invites you to parties 🤣
@@ExplodingPiggy ?
Musk has learned that he doesn't need to lroduce efficient, effective products to get richer. He can basically sell pseudo-science and recycle old, obsolete ideas. He has enough of a cult following that people just believe him no matter how stupid the idea. I guess he's learned a lot from the political establishment - truth doesn't matter as long as the lie is entertaining.
@@TheStarBlack Exactly :D
People are bad enough driving conventional cars on conventional roads. Last thing we need is to put them in flying cars.
It would be the new 9/11 everywhere.
@Samuel Shin Nah, see the problem with helicopters is you need special training to fly them. Flying cars should just be... like cars... but they can fly.
If actual Flying Cars existed with some sort of ion propulsion or anti gravity, regardless, the FAA wouldn't allow civilians do buy it like buying a road car, unless you have a pilot's license.
I wonder how many people will die
They will be self-piloted. Tesla Roadsters are already self-driving. They could allow for some manual control but anti-collision systems would take over when needed to prevent collisions. Tamper-resistant auto-pilot systems are being developed to prevent hackers from taking unauthorized control over the auto-pilot systems. BTW anything flying below a certain level (400 feet?) can't be regulated by the FAA if I understand correctly.
i just can't understand this cult personality thing... first steve jobs is somekind of a god and now musk is somesort of super genious "real life iron man" which is batshit insane... whatever they say and people just eat it all up, no one stopping for a minute and thinking...
Well, he did make electric cars and commercial spaceflight viable, including landing rockets on their tails which was considered impossible. His cult is not completely unjustified. But the belief that he can do *anything* he wants is certainly unjustified! And he is *not* immune to stupid ideas. Remember the hyperloop? The minisub rescue vehicle? His kid's name? The man has brought us some insanely cool things, but he is by no means a technical god.
@@millenniumf1138 He didn't make electric cars, he electric car burst onto the scene in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1899 and 1900, electric vehicles outsold all other types of cars. In fact, 28 percent of all 4,192 cars produced in the US in 1900 were electric, according to the American Census.
@@millenniumf1138 Also the first rocket to land on it's tail was in 1993 with the McDonnell Douglas DC-XA
@@1karl249 Ah, true! I forgot about the Delta Clipper! I don't know if that was considered a success or not because it didn't go into production despite landing propulsively. However, it did serve as a fantastic proof of concept. But this is making Elon Musk sound like a 21st century Thomas Edison, isn't it?
millenniumf1138 good comparison. He’s trying to make himself look like a Tesla but actually he’s just an Edison. Rich, popular and can’t invent something useful for the life of him. Personally i think he can go fuck himself for being the CEO of a company that treats its employees like complete trash but musk fanboys don’t understand the concept of real life rich people being universally terrible people.
Someone sent me an article about the Hyperloop when it was first written about, and after reading the article I replied back that it was a dumb, impracticable, bordering on dangerous idea. They didn't like that too much...
An added bonus to having onboard compressors is that every Tesla will not only be able to fill their own tires, but will also come with a self-filling water bottle.
And still have enough space to store a solid gold hammer.
@@RichardWatt and they will also use the rotation of the Teslas wheels the drive small zero friction turbines generating a limitless supply of energy.
and use any temperature difference to drive a stirling engine!
Hes gone mad after 2018 electric car sales figures from Norway , electric car sales up 40 % , still Tesla sales down 40 % .
Next he will suggest Cola bottles and Mentos to speed up his cars .
Doable if you throw hydrogen into the mix..
You need to use that Simpson's clip where Homer complains about Lisa's "perpetual motion machine" running faster and faster: "Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!"
My father worked in construction his whole adult life and had many stories about oxygen, acetylene and other gas bottles having the valve stem knocked off and the bottle takes off, scooting at ground level and going through anything in its way. Concrete walls, no problem, didn’t even slow them down.
The funniest story concerning gas bottles was one that was being unloaded from a truck and somehow got flipped 180° and the valve got sheered off and it was perfectly upside down. He said it took off like a rocket, straight in the air. All the men stood around watching it fly until it was just a small dot in the sky.
There was a delayed reaction when it suddenly occurred to everyone that the steel tank had to come down somewhere. My father said it got real quiet as the bottle climbed up in the atmosphere, then, it dawned on everyone at the exact same time and everyone’s head whipped back and forth looking for a safe cover. All of the men took off scampering in different directions to find something with a roof.
The visual image in my head when I heard that story was like a cartoon. It was like something out of a comedy sketch where the bottle launches and everyone just standing, watching it disappear in the sky, so there is a few seconds of silence and then suddenly they all look around, with their heads whipping around simultaneously, and then they all dart to find cover.
To be funny, they would all have to realize at the exact same time that the bottle must come down. Falling from such a height, that bottle, even empty, would kill whoever it landed on. Thankfully, no one was hurt, so everyone just gained a funny story and lost nothing living it.
Where did it land? Where did he hide, under the truck?
Are You on MDMA?
I was on a submarine, and we used a lot of hydraulics and high pressure air. Let me tell you, I never want to work with it again. Not only is it LOUD AS SIN and can be unwieldy to work with, since pressurizing can take some time, it is so unbelievably terrifying. It's unseeable and a tiny rupture can actually cut you in two, assuming the whole damn thing doesn't explode. Like you said, 6 bar alone is enough to send people flying. You'd have to use a LOT more than 6 bar for something like this.
Next up: "Elon announces new company to build planes that flap wings to fly"
Ornithopters from Dune? Cool!
usually i am more of a sceptic person, but we are talking about Elon Musk here .........
I hope they're steam powered.

I hope he make a whole range of planes, all based on Catch The Pigeon.
I was doing a 5 hour live stream and missed this video announcement, oh this is going to be funny!...
I suggest that fans of this channel check out Dave's (eevblog) channel.
Muskie needs Deputy Dawg to keep him under control.
EEVblog Dave! How are you holding out in the heat? Wish it was a bit warmer here in Europe...
There are some factors to consider - like the fact that the cooling "problem" is actually beneficial if it's used to cool the batteries (and that heat furthers the expansion).
Still not practical, but if you're using pressurized gas for a cooling system, then some components would be on the car anyway.
Further, considering how much F1 teams would love to use engine exhaust to accelerate the air under their car to create more downforce - consider what pressurized air could do. If you want more grip, but don't want the massive drag from wings like F1 uses, then this is one the ways to get it. If you absolutely want to set track speed records, the extra downforce might overcome the extra weight.
But it's still probably far better and easier to use a fan - which could also be used to provide the battery cooling. That's the sensible and conventional way to cool a car.
12:10 - it took me a few watches to realize that the furthest dude literally went flying past the camera. Like holy shit.
Finally found a comment that mentions this!
Christ that is scary, had not noticed that.
God damn he just twirled

Damn homie went gtaIV
Hay Thunderf00t, you are doing something very dangerous. You are storing a compressed gas cylinder in an upright position without its safety cap on or some sort of restraint to keep it from falling over if bumped. Without the safety cap, the bronze valve body can shear off and the valve will go in one direction, and the cylinder will go in another direction, (both very fast). If either of them hit you, you will probably stain serious damage to your person. And lifting the cylinder without first installing its safety cap is a big NO-NO. Remember; safety first and science second.
Nah safety second that shit's lame
@@piecrumbs9951; yea, the "safety second" idea is the reason Emergency Rooms were made.
Plus sticking his finger over the outlet, even at 5 bar that's stupid.
Workshops here had posters "compressed air is dangerous", but still people thought it would be fun to stick a pipe up the new kid's arse.
oldgysgt I can’t tell if you’re joking or not... I mean I was joking just so you know.
In another more recent video he poured concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid into 2 shot glasses without wearing gloves. The acid was being poured less than an inch away from his unprotected hand. I still can't believe he could be so reckless and stupid.
Meanwhile, Japan is running their successful linear motor train tests reaching over 500km/h
Doing what the German Transrapid did 40 years ago
Stop using logic.
Meanwhile, France's Alstom tested a wheeled TGV high speed train at 574.8 km/h in 2007.
PS: The Japanese superconducting MAGLEV did a speed record of 603 km/h.
I shoot a PCP (precharge pneumatic ) air rifle.
Mine has a 200bar fill. Topped up from a 300bar bottle.
That's enough to move a tiny lead pellet. But nowhere near enough to move the rifle.
Yet, even that amount of pressure is a scary amount to have in a bottle.
i initally was wondering why some nut job on pcp was letting thunderfoot fans know he injects himself with it and then i continued reading XD
Chris Pitchforth you shoot PCP? Nice.
@Lics Norgi clap your hands if you believe Elon Musk can fly
The rifle don't move because the pellet gains a relatively small impulse while propelled. Try to shoot a 1 cm bearing ball and you will feel blowback.
@@notpulverman9660 I never shot it. I am quite scared, I shot different "rifles... Should I try this one? )))

i am a truckdriver
truck tyres have around 9 bar of pressure
once i had a tyre explodet
the big pieces of rubber , around 20 kg , went strait to ferm scrubland at the side of the road ,
and landed some 50 meters further
when they put new tyres on a truck and they blow them up itis always in a heavy metal cage
when the tyre explode in will blast right through a human body ,with only 9 bar
9 bar is approx 135 psi. A 20 kg (45ish lbs)chunk of tyre carcass has a whole lot of square inches of area behind it. So the sudden ‘all at once’ failure of the tyre carcass allowed 135 pounds of force behind every square inch of internal area to propel the tyre piece.That a lot of potential energy dumped instantly.
Absolutely, a passing motorcyclist could easily be killed by an exploding lorry tyre.
@@allahspreadshate6486 Yep
come on dude you cant be coming in here taking less than 30 and actually making a point by the end. this is thunderfoot
I used to be a Musk stanboi... I still admire the audacity of his goals in a sense, and I think he's made some valuable contributions to things like electric cars and space flight. But he's not some freaky genius that changes the world through the sheer force of his will, he's just a really convincing salesman.
Agree with you totally...except for the valuable contributions!
@@TheStarBlack lol... You don't have to be a Musk fanboy in order the recognize that his companies have some value. Every idea needs a cheerleader/salesman to bring it to market.
Would someone else have accomplished the same things eventually? Certainly. But he was the one who was willing to gamble everything more than once to make things happen now. You can pretend there's "no value" in that, but that's how capitalism works.
Good response. I was in the same boat 😆
@@TheDrewker Or alternatively, without his meddling other companies would have a better chance of competing in the market, leading to better products for all of us. CAPITALIZSM.
@@TheDrewker Well the car buisness mainly wanted to stay out of EVs because until recently it wasn't really feasible and at any moment they suggested making new EVs the oil industry could always just so happen to have funding to help them make new cars, if you know what I mean. But really the major issue is that lithium ion cells weren't in large supply till recently. While the EV 1 did exist, it had a max range of 55 miles for the sulfur batteries or only 105 for the nickle metal hydride. Either way a tough sell for a full sized car.
Imagine getting into an accident with a 3000 bar bomb in the car.
Yeah it's like when you let go of a balloon and it flies around erratically in random directions until there is no air left except it's a two ton vehicle with high explosive batteries flying into pedestrians and houses.

You said it all right there.
Elon says crazy shit to keep his company in the media and to keep the public interested.
Ahhh... He's doing a trump. We should call this exact phenomena (saying crazy shit to highlight your crazy stuff inna media) "trumpezeing"
ex: "Did you see how the u.s. president is trumpezeing about the border wall, so that no one holds him accountable for all the federal workers who had to turn to crime to support their families?"
Yeah. 'Tumpezeing' works.
@@Raz.C did you hear the trumpzeeing from Hillary Clinton calling everyone racist and sexist so to distract from the fact she destroyed her hard drives and all evidence of her crimes?
@@ABC-cq5hm
it's trumpezeing, not trumpzeeing.
I'm not america, so the last I heard about hillary was that she lost the election.
@@ABC-cq5hm Hey, phones and tablets naturally destruct themselves with a hammer. And it's perfectly normal to be such a loser that your IT guy has to ask reddit for help. And defrauding the tax payer for billions in "lost" military contracts is just business as usual. No crimes, here.
That's a "merely pretending" defense.
Getting that car off the ground requies huge power, we get it. What you didn't mention is that putting it back on the ground requies equally large power. That car would not only be half compressor, but also half shock adsorber.
That's a oh yeah yeah for me.
@@MK-qz7fw Oh Yeah
Just build a massive frog like machine that can jump, also the legs doubles as the shock absorbers
Does Musk ever actually explain why this would even be a good thing? Does he ever give a reason beyond it being 'cool'? Putting aside the gibberish he talks, let's say it is possible and practical, okay, so you can have your car in effect take-off and fly around a bit. Why is that a positive? You would presumably have a road with cars that could do this and many cars that couldn't, wouldn't that be incredibly hazardous?
Even if it were possible and practical. It seems to me that you need to have a reason for why you would even want it and what utility it would serve.
what is that profile pic i keep seeing
Take no notice of the "Everyday Astronaut" guy. I started watching one of his vids about space travel (rockets) some months ago, where he was "shocked!" when he realised that the temperature of two masses at different values (very high temperatures) "Do not add together, but found equilibrium at a point somewhere between the two..." WTF?!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

Gave up on him after that.
well, if you nitpick mistakes you clearly shouldn't be watching thunderfoot..
he constantly mentions that he knows very little about the subject. If that ain't your thing, it isn't, but at least he isn't pretending to be all knowing like TF :P.
@@marvinh3357 but tf is a logic nitpicker
So you think it would have been better for him to pretend to have known something all along than to admit that he had to learn it?
What the fuck dude, where's your scientific literacy?
Hey Thunderf00t. I just found your channel. I love it, it's super interesting. Thank you for taking off my Elon Musk bear bandage. He is certainly very accomplished and I consider him to be a smart guy, however it does not exempt him from having stupid ideas like any human being. I was a big fan of him and like many I took for granted that everything he said was correct. Thank you for doing this channel and reminding me that one must always question oneself and have objective criteria. Awesome content. Best!
whilst taking everything with a grain of salt definitely is good, thunderfoot overdramatizes everything to his needs. In this video for example the parts with safety of rocket engines, probably more but I didn't watch it fully. He just explains how it is bad, leaving out the part where they described how spacex solved the problem. He has made at least two videos about how bad elons ideas are which came to be a reality by now.
Use the mindset of oh I wonder how they are going to do that instead of what tunderfoot does. A hyperloop for example, maybe a crazy idea with way too many unsolved problems, I'm still curious on how they are going to tackle them or maybe fail to do so but I don't have to spread my bad opinion about that. Probably these engineers are even aware of these problems and are trying to figure out how the can solve them.
@@marvinh3357 Hey, hi. I agree that he can be a little dramatic on some points. However in general the arguments are quite strong. Yes, it's possible to outcome an infinite number of obstacles with science. Proof is all around us. The point here is that not because science and technology has taken us so far does it mean that anything is possible. Without being an expert I think he makes a pretty interesting and fair analysis. Beyond just applauding him for being Elon. I still think he is a pretty smart person and I like him, looks some one legit to me. But It doesn't exempt him from having crazy or unfeasible ideas like many other milion dollar projects that have been debunked in this channel. These days with the launch of Sapce X I've heard many "experts", "engineers" and "scientists" say that this is the beginning of the tourist era of space. Not today, not in 100 years. Of course thunderf00t can have his faults, however his credentials go way way further than the average TH-camr. Although he has made several videos of Elon, I don't think there is anything in particular about him. Does this going to stop Elon, I don't thing so either but I really like this channel, to me has a hight, hight scientific rigor and there is a genuine interest in demystifying any project that seems fantastic. Best!
@@df68rt yes, you are right. I like a lot of things about him too, though I'd appreciate if he'd be a little more positive towards some things, if they are just unsolved physics problems that may soon have a solution or whatever. Have a nice day:)
@@marvinh3357 the issue which thunderfoot has restated over and over if you'd been paying attention, is that when thermodynamic limits are involved, there are NO solutions. Not now, not in 100 years. Those laws dont change and haven't changed since the beginning of the universe. You are confusing breakthroughs in materials science with something else entirely. Material science advances cannot subvert thermodynamic principles.....EVER.
@@marvinh3357" I didn't watch it fully" yet you're criticizing seems pretty fanboy-ish to me
i agree with everything except the cylinder hitting wall calculation
1. most of the energy was probably used to overcome floor friction
2. it didn't release all the gas before reaching 40mph
3. with no nozzle, a lot of the energy is wasted
These "amazing" next-generation projects sound to me like the latest scheme to attract investor capital. I love your videos debunking them. By watching, I am starting to wrap my head around science theories I either never learned or could never process. Thanks so much!
U were correct
I sometimes work in a car service where LPG systems are installed and tested. When we must empty LPG tank before testing it's impossible to do it fast. If you remove the cap (4" diameter) gas inside cools down in seconds and stays liquid for dozens of minutes just slowly boiling. That is a pain in the ass, you must every day explain why they must wait because of thermodynamics and physics.
I remember in college I fell in love with this air car design... lol I know but back than I didn’t know, I just fell in love with the idea they were selling. years of not hearing about it, I looked into it and I let’s just say it was a real bubble buster. Hearing all of Elon’s claims reminds me of that car. Lol
As a method of propelling cars - or anything else - this is a dumb idea.
As a method of propelling a marketing campaign... well, here we are, talking about it. You be the judge.

Elon Musk is like that friend you have who keeps talking about that novel he's totes writing right now, taking credit for having written a book before he's started. Once he's gotten the credit and support for being a writer from friends and family, he doesn't bother too much with actually getting the work done.
Cue Stewie asking Brian about his novel...
I think its more like someone who has already published two really successful books but everytime he presents his ideas they sound extremely weird and you wonder if its the same person or if he is just a little crazy and aware of how weird and seemingly impossible his ideas are
He has a start-up within a start-up within a start-up within a start-up. His original start up is run by other people and floated on the stock market and using presales to stay afloat. Now they firing staff. It is still a start up where people gamble big money on stocks. It is a physical bitcoin. Eventually if people arent buying it fails.

I read about this years ago. The idea was that if you were cornering hard and your car was drifting to the outside of the curve, the thrusters would push the car back in line.

Which would work, are cheaper, and already exist.. Humm..

So will you ever do a mars or moon colonization video... Just for science. I want to know your predictions on how long *you* believe it will take and why.
colonization? around 200 years from now no earlier given that the world doesn't go backwards technologically or economically.
@@TeddyKrimsony what if we create/find an energy source that works better than the predictions for fusion? Perhaps even fusion itself works better than predicted? My comment is essentialy if there is a way to speed up technology.
I think 30 years for us to get the first people on one of them. Then, probably a hundred or so years before we have civilian colonies.

Hey, I'm just a guy who dropped out of college to do lighting for concerts, but I am curious. Is anybody else pissed off that most people in this video are saying "x" instead of "multiply" or "times"?
A lot of comments down here from people who didn't actually watch the video... lol
Elon joked. If you watched this video all the way through, and possess a three-figure IQ, you have to be a humourless masochist.
...or understood the math... :D
@@tonyduncan9852 Not the thing thunderfoot is after these days. He's not into reality anymore and has become a very bitter person grasping for straws like this to try to stay relevant. Unfortunately he's showing he hasn't got that three figure IQ he has been pretending he has by a long shot. I used to watch his videos regularly but after the sjw attacks he got bitter and lost his mind.
@@TheGalantir I think you got Elon and Thunder confused. Thunderfoot's claims are backed up by real life proveable science. Elon's idea's are based around fantasy and the hope that somebody can invent it for him. That's why he made the whole hyperloop challenge, because the people below him probably had no idea how to actually bring it to fruition.
@@splinte111 No i dont and no it's not backed by science,. Thunder did not test anything has no papers written nothing peer reviewed so please don't call the spouting of nonsense science. That's degrading to real scientists.

"The HyperDisc" LMFAO!
A year before, Bosch actually successfully tested its proof-of-concept safety system for righting a slipping motorcycle using cold gas thrusters. The system senses a sideways wheel slip and uses a lateral cold gas thruster to keep the motorcycle from slipping further. It would of course mean installing a high-pressure vessel into a _motorcycle_ which might be the reason it was quietly buried since.
That sounds dope. Do u happen to have a link? Thank u in advance. 😊
Hey Thunderf00t. Please do a video busting Elon Musk's genetically engineered anime cat girls.

What's to bust? He has top men working on it right now.

Growing some cat shaped ears and a tail on a human through gene editing is actually more realistic than the Hyperloop or Solar Roadways, of course that ignores the near infinite quantity of legal and ethical problems with it, but from a purely scientific pov it is one of the more feasible nutjob ideas.

Next thunderf00t video: Elon Musk's Purchase of Fortnite... BUSTED
Next video, Elon says he will buy back Tesla stock and almost goes to jail for it. What a joke, so sad nobody could laugh about it. It was just a joke!
Four years later and no flying Tesla available for me to buy :-(
This is without a doubt one of dumbest things I've ever seen. It's right up there with the "Vibranium" hyper-loop pod.
Billy Smith I assume you refer to this video
What's wrong with the "Vibranium hyper-loop pod"?
The name? - Engineers, scientists etc name stuff after pop-culture all the time.
Having damage sensors when there's no way it could withstand bullet level impacts? - This only applies if it's impacted by bullet sized objects, nearly all impacts will be specs of dust millions of times smaller.
That it's only the exterior? - That's how vehicle design works, you design and prototype the exterior first.
I've got doubts about the hyper-loop but Thunderf00t's videos on the topic are absolute trash.
@@JimGiant watch thunderf00t's video, "vibranium" is kinda dumb...
@Quix So you've never bought a product that had a brand name based on marketing? Cars have stupid names too doesn't mean we think a ford mustang is a horse. Vibranium is a good marketing move if these ever become common place its something people already have mental associations with and sounds vaguely high tech. Disingenuous sure, but it's as common a marketing tactic as there is.
@Quix What @Madarius said. I don't like them naming it like that but it's disingenuous to suggest this is a meaningful criticism and Thunderf00t knows this..
Yeah, taking Musk's shower thoughts seriously.
He said himself, on Joe Rogan, that "we already have flying cars, they're called helicopters".
That was Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Was it? That's possible.
Still, Musk just has a habit of dreaming out loud.
@@szkoclaw It was. He was talking about how flying cars were stupid to want. Neil is much more reasonable than Elon in my opinion.
@@blanks552 He sounds reasonable because he never creates anything that doesn't currently exist. This channel is filled with people who seem completely oblivious to even the possibility of any kind of radical development.
@@szkoclaw wasn't that the interview when he got high?
It's good to think outside the box and dream about possibilities, that's how we get amazing new inventions, I think Elon's only problem is that he doesn't have a PR team stopping him from spewing half-baked ideas to the public
Trying to sell old sci-fi ideas is not thinking outside the box.
Your points on safety are valid. In regards to thrust, I do not think this was ever meant as a primary means of propulsion, but a supplemental source dolled out in small bursts.
Either way, it is a novelty.
He might not have a flying car, but he is hosting meme review 👏🏾👏🏾
Really?
Honestly I saw this news and thought this was so ridiculous it wasn't even in need of a thunderfoot debunk
Musk essentially is still a child who thinks that physics and natural materials are Lego's.
what was the simulator software you used for your piston vs. gas jet animation part of this video?
Don’t worry it will run with the fuel of every Elon musk's ideas
Hype
I tought solar. but yeah, unfortunately these two are getting more and more interchangable
@thunferf00t thank you for always delivering !
You should rename your channel "thunderf00t ruins everything" 😆 crushing our hopes and dreams... Haha. And I liked this video, because even if you are crushing our hoeps, truth is better than BS.
The guy who fills and tests my 300 bar diving cylinders. From empty it takes 20 minutes for a 12 litre cylinder cold fill. They are filled while being sat in refrigerated water. The compressor is about the size of a Transit van and runs on 400 volts.
It's noisy but under the need for ear protection levels.
The emperors clothes have been blown off by compressed gas.
Edited
Damn! 1 second after I pressed send you said the emperor has no clothes. 😂
I think you’re sort of missing the point here - what musk is doing is quite obviously creating publicity for his product - he doesn’t necessarily care if the implementation would be realistic or not. He wants to create the image of the “iron man” - what easier way is there, than to make people excited about something that is already part of the stereotypical vision of the future - the hovercar.
That's my biggest problem with Musk! All he cares about is marketing and publicity. He's a snake oil salesman.
Except the feature is real, this thunderfoot moron doesn't think at all. The compressed air will be used to create a low pressure zone under the car sucking it to the road. The air is not being used to generate thrust. Musk simply joked that the thrusters technically have the energy to lift the car for a fraction of a second. This feature is going to be for the drag strip.
How about using air brakes to create downforce like some supercars already do? much lighter and easier to do@@_PatrickO
ChAnimations well technically it’s not all about downforce. You cold also add some thrusters to the back of your car and therefor (and here’s the point) generate thrust that is independent to the tires. When you try you push the boundaries of acceleration you will quickly notice that you are limited by the grip of the tires. 1.9 seconds 0-60 is basically all that “normal” tires can do...
@@MrGeocidal Until you realize the reason why is so Tesla doesn't have to spend a dime on advertising and can put all their resources on improving their battery and motor tech etc. and making sure they don't go bankrupt so other car manufacturers have to launch their electric vehicles too.
As far as I gathered this was a joke based on the fact that this would make it technically airborne (e.g: no part of it touching the ground) for a fraction of a second, misleading sure, false and dishonest advertising, no, no one is going to buy a $250,000+ Tesla thinking it can fly without doing their proper research beforehand and asking the sales staff to clear some things out about that.
We have flying cars.
They're called aeroplanes ✈
The GNC, in Argentina, have a 250Kg/cm2, and we carry a composit tank inside our trunk
It gets worse, because the added weight of the thrusters means you need extra to thrusters to handle the extra weight so that 6 cylinders becomes 7 very fast due to diminishing returns
crwydryny Not if you replace the heavier materials like steel with lighter compounds like carbon fibre
Not to mention the Toyota Miata managed to implement pressurized tanks and I haven't heard of any Miata's going boom.
At 10000 psi? Don't think so.
PureAwesomeness if I remember correctly it was 2 1,000 psi/30 bar tanks
Not enough to cause certain death but enough to blow some potential shrapnel your way.
@@computerman4321 Just fucking google it...
The Mirai has two hydrogen tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic consisting of nylon 6 from Ube Industries[44] and other materials. The tanks store hydrogen at 70 MPa (10,000 psi). The tanks have a combined weight 87.5 kg (193 lb).[3][40] and 5 kg capacity.
@@jooger69 Air has an average molar mass 14.5 times higher than hydrogen. Because of the ideal gas law, the Mirai tank would store the same number of moles of hydrogen or air, so it would be able to store 14.5*5 kg = 72.5 kg of air.

He is saying coal.
@@gavinmcinally8442
Whatever he's saying, he means _cold._
What I really ask myself badly - what was in the secret chamber of the torpedo, between the magazine and the compressed air? Some sort of an ancient homing device?
I am writing this in 2023. Musk's tweets were from 2018. Not only have gas thrusters not been used in a car in the five years since Musk predicted them, but the car Musk predicted they would be used in, the next generation Tesla Roadster, also has not been released. This one is both literal and figurative vaporware.

#supergenius
Nobody is suggesting vertical take-off. The aerodynamic shape of the car plus the acceleration of the electric motors plus cold gas thrusters that point towards the back in a slight angle to the ground function more like JATOs (jet-assisted take-off) to do small hops or even faster acceleration when flowing over small wings under the car. You can also have wings and surfaces under and besides the car (similar to NASCAR) which is basically F1 tech where you use compressed gas to create or remove down-force on certain surfaces.
Jesus, I didn't realise how dangerous gas cylinders are. I had about ten cylinders in my office for use on cruise ship life raft inflation's. They were right next to my laser cutter as well :p
