Greased Lightning | MythBusters | Season 6 Episode 27 | Full Episode 

Banijay science or who ever owns it. Bought up all the rights to Mythbusters. Why they are uploading on two different channels is beyond me.

@@trizkit995 They're about 2 1/2 seasons ahead on the Banijay channel; probably to drive more traffic over there.

Not all heroes wear capes

Only works outside the US as well. Thats probably why it works

would be funny if Adam Savage would be the one in charge

Yep. Kitchens can be dangerous when you don't know the rules. Need to clean old grease. And please don't walk away with anything still on! I almost burned down our kitchen a long time ago when I walked away and forgot the stove was still on.

Came here to say this.

@@MarcosCodas Same. Quite obvious as well, but it would be a short episode if they tested it indoors (plane hangar or something).

They could possibly also have reached a greater height if they had used a taller pan/pot, so the sides would funnel the fire/explosion upwards at the start, rather than the flat pan where it can go outwards instead.

Who has a kitchen with a ceiling 30ft high🤔.... Definite wind issue and should be tested indoors... But really... A kitchen with a 3 storey ceiling?

@@netheshramroop3281 I think the 30 foot comes from outdoor "kitchens", where people fry seafood or make fries. Throwing frozen food in hot oil is a disaster in the making and since many people are clueless, it happens a lot.

Priorities!

Yes, I thought that too.

Honestly I think the same

Zombie Jamie goes "Laaaard..."

Thats a weird accent on Washington DC

*would have

*would’ve

I mean.. there's no need for a torrent. There are a lot of ways to get RU-vid videos on your computer. I won't go into any further... Sure a torrent would be the more convenient way but it's not really needed.

Wind doesnt blow straight across land, it blows in flurries and vortexes. It definitely could have added downward momentum to the air column. But I still agree the test wouldnt have been much different

38:16 Jamie also changed the rules here and claimed the wind would mess with the fire ball results.

Does your kitchen have a 30 foot ceiling

@@bazzacorps No my warehouse does though

@@casperstour you should recreate it then

@@bazzacorps And spend time away from my businesses to recreate something that just takes common sense to know and get 0 views? Im good thanks

@@casperstour what is your business

Definitely how it works.

That would have been another interesting experiment. I don't expect that it would have made that much difference though, given how rapidly the water turns to steam upon contact with the oil, and the relatively minor (compared to water vs oil) temperature differential between tap water and water at room temperature.

They could’ve also said 1 cup

@@cameronknowles6267I have multiple types and sizes of cups at home, so which one? For a show preaching science, their only flaw was not going metric (which is understandable, given their main target audience was the american, which still uses outdated Imperial measurements and customs in their day to day lives).

​@@Lord_RFAS One standard cup is 250ml

@@DrBarbequeSauceAnd that is not taught in science classes 🤣🤣🤣

@@Lord_RFAS Not in America, lol. Also isn't that math, not science?

How do you sleep at night after puns like that!!?!

Im sure they did but what type of cable show would it have been if it ended after a minute?

I don’t think there is one. The water is causing a steam explosion and aerosolising the burning oil. Since the oil is at auto-ignition temperature it ignites as soon as it has access to air, and when it’s turned into millions of droplets that happens practically instantly. You’d have to somehow remove enough heat from the oil to drop it below auto-ignition temperature, and I don’t think that’s possible, there are limits to how quickly thermal energy can be moved from one substance to another.

Buy a legit copy, it's a RU-vid bootleg

Its a twenty years old television show...

100 a pillow

also the wind was blowing outside, and the inside test measuring stick was too small to say the pot didn't go higher than the pan because the flame was stopped by the ceiling You are the one that's busted Jamie not the myth!

I'm a native speaker but had to look this up. People debate about it but seems both are correct! We usually say something is "on TV" but "in a film" Someone on the internet said maybe this was because we see a TV mostly as a physical object, but see a film more like a collection of information

@@user-ys3jh7tw8j Thanks man! I found some discussion about "on the show"/ "at the show". There it is more clear, as someone explained: "if you are on the stage or in front of the camera, you are on the show". So to apply this to Mythbusters I guess myths are part of the show, so they are "on". However seems to me that saying "in the show" is not really a mistake as narrator talks about things that are part of it (the show contains them, so they are in). I guess it is one of the things that you need to kind of feel. It's like you intuitively know which thing sits on the table and which stands (as an example from my mother tongue), even though there's no clear logic.

@@d4slaimless Thank u for the extra info! You're right, speaking a language becomes very intuitive. It's interesting how complicated it gets when u stop and pay attention I like the stand/sit on the table example too :-)

Not to mention that the cheese would loose too much velocity over the distance between two ships

That's maybe one of the reasons why they lost the war hahahaha

Ya but then they wouldnt have anything to film. Have to draw things out to the full run time you know what I mean? Include the neccisary suspense and drama to make their story.
