Adam & Jamie build a rocket out of pluming pipes and bits. Boom! kpal! boom! ******** Boom******* As Adam would say. More smoke then in an Amsterdam Coffee Shop. !!!!!!!!!!!!Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad the world is higher resolution these days. Back in 2008, in the 240p world, I was always walking into signposts, and glass doors because there just wasn't enough resolution to see where I was going clearly. I'd hear a hawk in the sky, but every time I looked up, I saw nothing. The world is a better place now.
Grant Imahara RIP. I have just heard the sad new of Grant's death, my throught's are with his family and friends, such a big part of the Mythbusters Team. He will be sadly missed.
Mythbusters: "Don't try anything your about to see at home, we're what you call experts" Also Mythbusters: Let's test a liquid/solid rocket in the shop 🤔😂
Hale rockets -- descendants of the famous Congreve rocket -- were used by both sides in the American Civil War. But those early rockets were outclassed in both range and accuracy by new developments in tube artillery, so they were only used in small numbers. After the American Civil War, rocket artillery was largely abandoned until WW2 saw the revival of multiple rocket launchers like the Katyusha. That's history, not a myth.
The main thing with rockets though is that they are individually complex and expensive and so multiple rocket launchers only really became viable when industry had developed to the point that rockets could be reliably mass manufactured. Also the rocket in the myth is the V2. Not it is pretty much describing the V2 from the fuel, to the mechanism to even it's capabilities.
Adapted from "A Brief History of Rocketry" Courtesy KSC/NASA: Later in 1862, the Union Army's New York Rocket Battalion used rockets against Confederates defending Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia. It wasn't an overwhelming success. When ignited, the rockets skittered wildly across the ground, passing between the legs of a number of mules. One detonated harmlessly under a mule, lifting the animal several feet off the ground and precipitating its immediate desertion to the Confederate Army.
Wonder if M5 has a fire alarm system? evidently not, since it would have been going ape$&*% after that. I'd like to see one installed, but it should have an option to bypass the workshop zone.
I listed that example not to suggest the Americans invented the rocket as a instrument of war but because it was funny. Yes the English beat us to the rocket. But the Brits learned it from the Europeans who learned it from the Muslims who learned it from the Mongols who learned it from the Chinese. If you want I could look up dates for you. The history of the rocket is difficult to do justice to with only 500 characters though.
If English is a second language to you you're good.... and yeah the US version you could say, but I think the UK version has this English (British) voice.
Those mythbuster guys are so lame they installed the nozzles backwards in every rocket motor they ever fired !!! Mythbusters put the 15 degree angle twords the fuel grain when the 15 degree angle should of been the exit. Every one should e-mail the mythbusters and tell them to redo the rocket myths the right way !!!
