GBNW "How It Works" - The Containment Unit 

Okay, the "Sam Beckett exorcism package" made me laugh so loud. Also, "Ghostbusters" "Back to the Future" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!" all existing in the same universe? YES, PLEASE. That's the movie event I desperately need! These are BRILLIANT! Ecto-Goggles next, please!

“We’re proud to say there has not been a single containment breach since that day”. Frozen Empire has determined that was a lie. 😂😂😂

The idea of a Ghostbusters/Honey I Shrunk the Kids crossover is freaking amazing.

this is underrated, why hasn't this channel blown up?

In fairness to the *ONE* containment breech. that occurred due to operation error with shades of malicious tampering by unauthorized personnel abusing the powers and privilages of their office. Also: Going to use these videos as an in universe 'company videos for new franchise locations' Production quality is amazing and really nails the VHS vibe.

3:55 no wonder it went off like a nuke. Also, that reference was dirty, but hilarious 😂

I really really like this technical video, it fills up technical holes with science to make sense of the movie tech. Made it feel like canon material. As opposed to assuming it works because of magic. Good job GhostbustersNW!

I first saw Ghostbusters in 1986, when I was two, and I've been hooked ever since, learning the science behind their equipment in an RIDICULOUSLY entertaining way just adds to my love of the franchise. And the 80's pop culture references are a nice little cherry! *Hands you a Nestle Crunch bar* You...You've earned this...

4:27 Don’t think I didn’t get that reference to Janine keeping the containment grid powered with a bicycle in The Real Ghostbusters!

These are fantastic tutorials explaining the physics of how the "Ghostbusters" equipment works. Thanks for your work and uploading these for us all to enjoy and learn from.

An extended track of the ghostbusters theme that plays in the background of these would rock

so much thought and intelligence went into that original script

I am gonna follow everything this video says and do rn

Popularization of nuclear high energy research with Higgs boson particles of vacuum to give mass is excellent.

I love the 1990's feel of this video haha!

This gets me wondering, has anybody ever seen Louis Tully and this Szalinski guy in the same room?

This is actually really cool. Great comic book-style "rubber science" explanations (the kind that loosely make sense in real scientific terms if you squint hard enough.) And I love the tie-ins to other Science-Fiction worlds like _Quantum Leap_ and _Honey, I Shrunk the Kinds._ Portraying Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) as the cousin of Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) is a little bit of brilliance, as is making Sam Beckett a former student of Egon Spengler. One of the biggest reasons why I absolutely love _Ghostbusters_ and think it's one of the greatest movies ever (sadly not true of any of the sequels, although _Afterlife_ was pretty great up until the last quarter of the film) is that the story would work just as well as a straight, non-comedic Sci-Fi/Horror movie, because pretty much all of the humor in the film derives from the way the protagonists react to the genuinely horrific events of the story. Swap out Drs. Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler for another group of less _eccentric_ group of scientists, and the story would work just as well. In fact, something I would love to see someone make someday is a _straight_ adaptation of _Ghostbusters_ meaning one done without the comedic elements as a straight Horror/Science-Fiction story. At least written out as a novel, if not an actual film. It would most likely and very badly for the world, since Ray's split-second decision to have Gozer the Traveler manifest on Earth in the form of Mr. Stay-Puft, while seemingly absurd and moronic, actually _did accomplish_ what he had hoped it would do, trapping The Traveler forever in that form while on Earth, instead of any other potentially far more lethal manifestation. That is what ultimately gave the Ghostbusters the opportunity to cross their Neutrona Wand streams and reverse the particle flow through Gozer's gate to suck Gozer back through and seal it shut. Without Ray's comedic and seemingly stupid choice, the Earth would most likely have been destroyed by The Traveler.

Honey, i shrunk the kids happens in the same universe than ghostbusters , that's so good lore there

Amazing amount of detail Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis put into the story. You could mistakenly think they have degrees in Physics! Maybe you could go into the details of possession? I.e. Louis Tully and Sigorney Weaver and that spaghetti drainer thing they wore?

Just came up on my timeline makes u think how vast is youtube but anyway I subbed keep doing thought provoking videos like this please

I absolutely love these. PKE meter or Slime Blower next?

Awesome video

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

maybe do one on ECTO-1? curious to what all the equipment on the car is for

So we just gonna forget about the Orlando Franchise's "Spooktacular" Promotional Event when the Florida EPA Branch should up and caused the second largest Ecto-Containment Breach since Dickless and the NY incident~ huh

I found you just yesterday and loved your two videos, suddenly a third one appears. Keep up the great work !!

Some say that Sam Beckett traveled to the 22nd Century...

These really are amazing. I hope you guys don't mind and in fact I would like to properly and formally ask permission to download these and replay them on a screen over my Spengler wand and Haslabs Proton Pack when they arrive. I promise to make a video of how well it turns out too.

All Man I know I want to see Wayne zalinski Emmett Brown and Egon Spangler to work on a project together now.

Nice video. Channeling spirits and you have great explanations to the science of Ghostbusters, and I love how you connect the universe with other franchises. Keep it up!

I would love to know about the slime blower. Thanks for the awesome stuff

These are amazing. Very well made

This is absolutely amazing!

I have a question for the pay across your lifetime package. Does it go on after death or not ? …asking for a friend

They better should talk about how the ecto goggles work, or how the pke meter works.

Watched all 3 videos. Amazing stuff

These are so great! Thank you GBNW!!

Wow, the engineering minds are insane when it comes to fiction! Loved these explinations! What software do you use to make these graphic animations?

How many watts/kW/mW do you think this thing actually pulls?

Popularization of muons used for a nuclear catalyst is excellent.

Brilliant!

Muons also occur in cosmic rays and from some nuclear processes so I have often wondered if "UFOs and Ghost encounters" were just exposure to radioactivity able to temporality ionize vitreous humor or even corneas.

Love it! Where did you get the music in the background? I could listen to it while working!

Incredible video

I loved the quantum leap reference

The only question I have in regards to the containment unit is what happens to the trap cartridge after the cycle is complete? Ray tossed the housing unit aside into a box (I'm assuming) to have it reloaded later. If the cartridges are somehow taken by the unit, Egon's spending a fortune rebuilding the cartridges. Loving the videos though! They feel like a VHS copy of the Ghostbusters 101 training program (if there were such a thing.)

Are "neutralization" and "neutronization" the same thing?

Next they need to do the PKE Meter and the positive slime projector.

Leave it to Venkman (not to mention Bill Murray in r/l) to make a mess of a possible good thing.

But what about that time with Murray the Mantis??

I just love these videos and the supposed mechanisms and functions of these devices. Brilliantly, and comedically done. Could you please do another set of videos on the differences of "classifications of ghosts?" (i.e. Class 5 apparition). I think you'd guys would knock it out of the park

...So it's not straight up just connected to an alternate dimension full of ghosts? I could've sworn it was...

Make a video of "How ECTO-1 works" please!

Great video...👍

You know, keeping a containment unit in a densely populated area is convenient, but in the event another crossrip incident, wouldn't make more sense to store them remotely? It's the pacific northwest, remote is most of what we have.

Another great video!!! Would you ever do a video of ecto1 or PKE Meter or Stand Operating Procedure on how to catch a Ghost? Your videos are the best

RIP Harold Ramos

Awesome movie. You guys should do a PKE meter one and a ecto goggles or slime blower from Ghostbusters 2

That one time that shall not be talked about was as I recall due to a guy missing his "appendage". It wasn't the ghostbusters fault they all escaped.

Where can I listen to the Retrowave music in this video?

Popularization of laser magnetic optical traps is excellent.

Unanswered Questions 2:44 i understand what a drunk prison is, but the disorderly part doesn't make sense 3:55 i don't think the exmple analogy is correct 5:59 that doesn't sound right, when the lever was pulled in the movie, it sounded like it made the ghost trap cartridge inside it fall down some kind of chute(probbaby that curved part underneath the unit), witch leads to another question↓↓↓ What happened to the ghost trap cartridges/how do you get them out of the unit(or are the cartidges expendable and new ones can easily be made), let alone how to get the ghost out of the trap and into the grid(either opening the trap via some kind of mechanism, or some other method)

So the question is do you open the system to pull out the clean trap or does the clean trap goes somewhere else?

Your videos are seriously among my favorites on RU-vid. Please make sure the inern keeps cranking them out. I NEED to know how the PKE meter, ecto goggles and Bacharach sniffer work!

This is pretty fucking epic lol

Did you guys hear about the Death Chill incident of 2024?

Absolutely awesome video. Who does your taxes???

okay..... but how do you retrieve the trap once its clean?

always wonder how it works, thank you. Can you also do about ghost radar locator device? sorry forgot of correct name

I have a friend... a friend who had opened up a arcade and stuff went sideways. So he recently got arrested and now I have to deal with the eyesore. What is your rate to remove Psycokenetic entities from robotic frames? I need a bulk rate.

That would be awesome if Rick Moranis played Wayne Zelinski in the Ghostbusters instead of Louis Tolle lol

*_"...and explode out of the box, like a virgin on prom night."_* 🤭🤭🤭

Walter Peck from US Environmental Protection Agency is not gonna be happy about this.

This video are fantastic please is it possible to have them in Italian?

What happens when the Containment Unit fills up?

Is it even explained why they keep the ghost and not exercise or banish them to the afterlife, they basically use science to go after the supernatural, but from what I remember of the original animated series and the extreme follow up rituals, ceremonies, and things of that nature work just as well so why do they bother to imprison them

one thing NO ONE explains is the fact the internal part of the trap is still in the containment unit's import slot. see i always thought that the unit shelved that part and the power kept it activated. but of course it goes against the containment guide. so i ask why is the extraction of the inner trap part from the import slot not part of the procedure? why did venkman just throw the outer trap part away in the trash when he could have just inserted the inner part back into the outer part, recharge the trap, and then use it again on their next call? ITS BEEN BUGGING MY BRAIN FOR YEARS!!!

I can't help but wonder... how long can this go on? I mean, you think they would eventually, have to find a way to help a lot of these spirits to ... well... transfer over, ya know.

I can't help but feel that an opportunity was missed here. When referring to when all the ghost escaped, it would have been great to refer to dickless shutting down the grid.

But what does the green button do... I guess we will never know

so were not gonna mention what happened in 91 with evo shandor

Ok but how do you REMOVE the canisuer afterwards?

What’s the name of the song in the intro? I’m hearing it everywhere and it’s driving me nuts

But where does the clean trap go after the light is green?

Wait if Wayne and Louis are related does that mean their related to Seymour from little shop of horrors

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

sir uhh we ran out of room (ghostbuster forzen empire)

So,does that part of the trap stay in the containment system?...................

its neutronize the field nor neutralize ;)

Perhaps we could learn how the PKE meter works?

Was till last Thursday

What’s gonna be on the next video??

i know so much more now

This is why 2016 sucks. Noone put ANY EFFORT into the tech like they did in the original.

You really need to catch Sam becketts ghost before it create a branch reality where things are different like an all female ghostbusting team who make fart jokes.

Toei says the Containment Unit, it is the Alcatraz for evil violent gay male hooligan seiyuu ghosts! A shiny red prison where the evil violent gay male hooligan seiyuu spirits ever escape

Can we have one scientific video without going back to that Sam Beckett siliness? I mean, come on; we come here for real science, not silly TV show ideas.
