Sitting here, 80 miles from Tampa, where you recorded this, with a thunderstorm going on. Just as you tossed the last grenade, there was a huge thunder. clap. I levitated a couple of inches out of my chair. Thanks!
How to suvive a grenade blast: 1. Be Queen Elizabeth ii 2. Be the main Protagonist 3. Be the Cameraman 4. Don't be the side character (you're definitely gonna die)
The idea makes a lot of sense, but also to consider. The human body has a lot more mass between the air cavities and the force of the water than a balloon does. Our body wouldn't rely on the air inside to keep it's shape, we have a little something called bones. I think it would be helpful to see how much damage the shockwaves like that would do to bone and muscle, instead of just air and rubber.
@@jm56585 Except JPL is owned by NASA and Mark himself says that he works at NASA. Just like how you still work at a restaurant, even if you're only in the kitchen. It's a part of the larger organization so you are still working for the restaurant or in this case, NASA
I guess he used that phrase, because he explains things so almost everybody can understand. So it makes sense that he doesn't use strict scientific terms at all times, because sometimes they are not needed to explain something and they make the overall message more noisy
That isn't a pendulum, it's a Newton's Cradle. A pendulum has one object, hanging from one string, that swings back and forth. A Newton's Cradle demonstrates the law of conservation of energy, I believe. They're completely different. A Newton's Cradle requires three or more spheres to swing from two anchor points so that they always strike the same spot. The conserved momentum travels through the middle ball(s) and makes the outer ball swing in the same motion as the first
Distance would help as the wave energy is reduced by Distance Cubed, getting stretched weaker and weaker. But... Holy Moly! it looked really uncomfortable Cubed just watching the havoc it would unleash on a biological gas inflated being.
@@Paxmax Just rewatched the video The clip he sourced of the "jerks" doing it to fish kinda answers the question There's no walls to have the force go in a certain direction but it's still lethal in a pretty big radius if you scale the explosive to a combat one
Not safe. You're more likely to lose your leg. While grenades have a designed time to go off (varies depending on the grenade), it usually explodes earlier than that. By kicking the grenade, you're taking the chance that it won't explode until it's already a few meters underwater.
If the grenade is on the land then jumping into the pool would be much safer. As mentioned in the video, air between the grenade and the pool is compressible so the blast wave going through the water would be too weak to hurt you.
"Lay on the ground with your feet first..." *Shows a picture of a guy on the ground with his Netherlands wide open in a vulnerable spot* Yep, no thanks buddy
The fact that they can teach us the best way to survive a grenade how grenades work how air compression and blast force work together in 5 minutes is just crazy
+Ginsuma Or don't want to kill everything .-. That's why when fishing you use a large caliber. Gotta kill those fish terrorists but keep the women and children safe.
Had to come back because of the burit explosion and saw videos of people jumping in the water from boats when they saw the shock wave coming, still don't know what is the right answer but they all survived
