Creating Homemade Road Spikes with Flair | MythBusters 

why does every mythbusters video on discovery youtube channel always end like wayy too early

I wonder if Adam sits around sometimes and thinks "I have the best job in the world"

Oh hey they're easier to mass produce than I thought. Thanks Adam!

im getting real sick of those weird endings, put the whole video up or don't upload damn it...

He could use some long nose pliers and dip each one of them in paint. Highest area coverage with minimal paint wastage.

I love how Adam paints things without regard to his lungs.. 😯

Can we just stop a moment a apreciate all the skills that adam has? Like wow he knows how to weld paint and machine things no to mencion his ability engenier new ways of manufacturing!!! Magnificent!!!

Those weapons are called caltrops.

All I can think of is "a lethal version of jacks"

This is how our spike factory makes them.

Metal 3D printer! is what Mythbusters need to get. Not saying just eliminate humans from making stuff but the human hand can only do so much and 3D printers can make things beyond what we can do and fully assembled with moving parts. Discovery channel buy these guy a metal 3D printer and you will have the most popular show ever!I can't imagine the things they can think up with imagination being the limit to 3D printers which is almost infinite. 3D printing is a wild west and Mythbusters need to be all over that! in my opinion haha

Should've made them neon green. That'd be cool. Pink is awesome though. He makes it look so easy!

Thank god the myth busters are here for science. They could be actual super villains.

Thanks this will be a funny prank to put behind my moms tire

2:13 polyhedron not polygon

My 9th grade science teacher, Mr Rosenberg loved showing these guys videos in class.

I was not prepared, did not have a welding mask, did not look away. Now I'm blind from the welding

Next episode, we are going to see Adam create a homemade flamethrower so this show can be real lethal.

He made caltrops.

0:30 add that bionic sound, now that's perfect.

that was worthless without a high speed blow out

Interresting YT put this in my recommendations in the current climate

It's 2016, the narrator made me nostalgic

Wish mythbusters never ended :( Miss em SO MUCH

Thx, Adam I can utilize this to help me get out of potential life & death situations

So this is where the Mexican Drug Cartels learned how to make these.

No, the angles between vertices of a regular tetrahedron are not "90 degrees", as stated at 1:57. They're about 109.47 degrees (that's arccos(-1/3)). See www.ctralie.com/Teaching/Tetrahedron/

I love Mythbusters! Mainly cause my dad went to school with Jamie!

I've always wondered if you could use UK power plugs as a post-apocalyptic substitute for a road spike. Maybe not all of them will land upwards (Despite what I've experienced during the time I've lived here...) but at least some of them would.

The urban household version of those, legos...

That's actually a pretty good idea. But not very practical for property defense. Say you have property that you don't live at and want to stop vehicles from entering in. Well in most cases their not going to go through a locked gate. They will find a path of least resistance through the grass. So take a piece of flat plate steel, and weld 3" rebar spikes, staggered every 6 inches. Cut the rebar at an angle, not so sharp that it will puncture a shoe, but sharp enough to go through a vehicle tire. Anchor your finished steel plate in tall grass with landscaping spikes. Tall grass helps to conceal the strip. And well if they cross that property line, they will be buying new tires after that.

Seems like he got most of the paint on the table

Why would a cop just make a bunch of these on a weekend? 0.o

Safety Glasses??????????????????

Man is welding without filters on.

What season/episode is the on so I can watch it. Please put it in you videos description so it would be easier, thx for reading.

Awesome, just in time for the driving "job" I have later this week. Thanks Adam!

Why spraypaint, save some time and just dunk it into a bucket of paint lol

it annoys me how clean that petrol cutter is in the intro lol

Caltrops are not a new idea. They were used in medieval and dark age battlefields to maim horses and foot soldiers. In the UK if anyone were caught making or possessing these, they would be in quite a lot of trouble.

That band saw is bad ass

Hurry up Netflix I need to watch this new season it's so amazing D:

wtf this is my recommended? i swear i have not watched anything related to this on youtube O-o

Adam is the perfect russel of half life

That portable bandsaw was such overkill compared to an angle grinder. It must have been a new tool Adam was dying to finally use!

Some noice Caltrops. I'll take twelve dozen!.

That seems like a good way to outrun the police

He definitely tagged Traps, Repair, and Science

If you make them out of metal capillary tubing, it gives a way for the air to escape deflating the tires almost instantly just as soon as you drive over them. If you use framing nails like this, you can actually drive surprisingly far before the air deflates from the tires! They’re not as easy to make that way, but 1000x more effective. The Mythbusters did an episode on it. Search “Mythbusters tire spikes”.

0:56 no guard!

I collect Caltrops. I have an original like the one made here. It was OSS WW2. Its my only tire deflation example. I have a 14x14 WW1 example. Nasty. They were designed to take 3 soldiers out of the equation. One injured and two to help the injured. Also horses.

Thanks Mitch busters!...this will stop them

its so short it became a no bs tutorial :P

Does't those spike need to be harden first? can they stand the pressure of a moving car without hardening?

i like that they're hollow so they can't plug any holes they make

I miss adam on the mythbusters

Time to prank those drivers on the highway

I thought they were plastic from the thumbnail

I just realized that they made caltrops

Which one makes more destructive things Colin Furze or The Mythbusters

Lmao I thought they were talking about the youtuber flair

where the hell are your safety glasses

I make those with the metal thingy on the champagne bottles that hold the cork screw

Going to make a bunch of these, paint'em black and go to my local parking lot!

caltrops... you made caltrops.

should they really be teaching people how to make road spikes

Thank you...

nice ending

Excuse me, he is not cutting corners. He is working smarter, not harder

Great! this will be very handy. If i ever need Road spikes in my life. Thanks YT algorhythm.

These would do wonders in the round abouts in my neighborhood where college students and adult wannabe teenagers treat them like they're at the race tracks!

Anyone know what size pipe Adam is using? 1/4" 1/2" ect...

Cool let's see them in action!

Seams like something the joker would make, lol. 😁

if you want to mess with the magnetic sweeper use stainless XD

SCIENCE!!!

Pink macaroni that can blow your tire noice

A tetrahedron should have 120 degree angles

Safety is not your no 1 priority. :D

they make science fun

plactic caltrops from dredmor

the fact that these are clips not containing the whole part of the title sucks.

Thanks, my car just ran out on my last heist

Cops don’t make their own road spikes lmao they use sticks with spikes on them or unfoldable ones that extend

Nine people have been stopped with road spikes (caltrops), by the Police.

They're called caltrops, not road spikes.

Worked well for me. Thanks! 👺

I wonder if thats the same portable bandsaw he turned into his mounted table saw thing

On one of the Myth Busters episodes they tested a theory about what over-the-counter Foods or drinks could cover up alcohol on your breath I can only imagine they did not want to lie and they could not expose the truth but they did not test peanut butter because the simple fact of the matter is peanut butter covers up alcohol on your breath I won $500 bet from a cop friend of mine at a party one night he did not think peanut butter could cover up the alcohol on my breath but he was wrong and I won $500 he got 250 back when he called a buddy of his that was on duty to come to the party to see if his breath detector work better it did not and he won 250 from his friend and that's when they both came up with the idea to ask me not to share this with too many people that was a long long time ago way before the episode was ever dreamed of so can you get the truth from watching Mythbusters sometimes but a lot of times they leave a lot of stuff out for obvious reasons

What a load of caltrops.

“I love blacksmithing!” I see no forge, anvil or hammer... for some reason, as a blacksmith, when he says that it makes me angry.

Yeah, those things are junk. They are only effective for something coming straight down on them. For tires, rolling in from the side, a lot of the time they would just flip out from under the tire or just roll with the tire and not puncture it. It would be really effective for large tires, like tires on oversized, lifted trucks but on passenger vehicles, they wouldn't work well. They're too big. The diameter of the pipe he's using needs to be 1/2 or 1/4 the size he's using and the length needs to be halved for it to be effective on all tires.

The roofing truck karma, by Adam Savage

Does anyone wonder why Discovery Channel just showed us essentially how to disrupt major traffic on highways for very little money or effort? Wtf?

RIP Mythbusters

if I threw these all over a parking lot, how much of a criminal would I be?

and... now we are all on a watch list XD

Hey.... I recognize that saw....

I don't think I've ever seen a portable bandsaw before.

need t be more sharp, and that empty interior its huge design genius because ussualy those get stuck in tire and air stay inside
