“This is actually possible” Me: Looks at left arm “Bye bye” chop chop

RE: Cap's shield bouncing: you need to remember that the shield wasn't originally made of vibranium in Marvel canon. It was an adamantium alloy that also contained vibranium in some writers' minds. The problem developed when Marvel didn't have the rights use Adamantium in in the movies, so they switched it to vibranium solely and kept the shield bouncing thing because it's traditionally something Cap can do in the comic books.

How do these videos not get millions, these are super interesting

I’m pretty sure when Natasha said 9 minutes she meant that they will take 9 minutes to get to them

2:58 he cut into the sewers, if you look at the corner there’s still the concrete there a small amount

2:37 He used a lightsaber! Mace Windu returned! 😆

They are developing tech that enables touch sensation in prosthetic limbs.

the helicarrier's are probably powered by a arc reactor of some kind. even the first one in the avengers.

Concerning false memories, I have an ager management issue and am on medication to help regulate it. I was always terrified of my own actions without the meds because I clearly (and still recall) recall getting into an arguement with my brother when I was 15 and throwing knives at him. When I was in my forties, my mother found old recordings of the Halloween party I recalled with such regret and terror. We watched it and I had thrown BUTTER at him. Not knives, just a stick of butter. But, I always thought, and still recall, it being knives. I still have the distinct memory of knives. So, yes, it's easy to gain false memories, not so easy to break them once you have them.

From what I understand after a certain amount of energy the shield starts to deflect the energy back

The reason why caps shield bounces off stuff is because it absorbs the vibrations and than instantly redirects it unlike the black panther suit which was specifically engineered by Shuri to be able to store those vibrations within the suit for redirection later so caps shield absorbs the vibrations and redirects those vibrations towards the object it originally hit then pushing in the opposite front where it was thrown.

I assume the wings are there to help provide or maintain lift, similar to why planes have wings or why birds have wings. The wings themselves are made of carbon fiber which I have been lead believe is strong but also lightweight, which could explain why it’s able to carry the weight of two people. Falcon himself was originally a pilot and part of the pararescue division of the military. Being up in the air so many times in his life, I would imagine his body has built a tolerance for high altitudes and thin air. I hope this has helped answer your questions about the Falcon, one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Correction: The shield is an alloy of vibranium and steel, not pure vibranium. So it would probably have some bouncing effects.

With the falcon, the wings are for lift.... maneuverability, he wouldn’t be able to turn without them. It’s essentially a next gen jet pack with superior flight mechanics

When there's in impact there are 2 energy transfers, the shield transferring its energy to the wall and the wall transferring its energy to the shield. The thing with Vibranium is that it absorbs vibrations directed at it, so the energy transferred from the wall to the shield gets absorbs but the energy transferred from the shield to the wall doesn't get absorb by the shield and thus will bounce. Also that explanation is perfect for a property of science called perfect elastic collision in which the object conserves momentum and kinetic energy with a collision.

How about Age of Ultron? Lots of computing and AI in there.

The more you talked about the arm, the more I started to question it. I believe you when you say it's possible, but my problem is if your body can actually handle an arm that can do all that stuff. If your metal arm can carry tons of weight, won't the human parts of your body give out before you can actually carry it? If you punch someone with the arm and they get flung forward, won't you also get flung backwards? I'm not an expert in physics by any stretch of the imagination, but I was just wondering if a prosthetic like that would actually be as useful as in the movies.

Man Loved a lot about Winter soldier !!...most best captain America solo!

Wow. So by putting these massive helicarriers in the sky, they were potentially pulling an Ultron before Ultron. Huh..

About the captain america shield bounce, they clarify it in civil war with the line “that thing does not obey the laws of physics at all”

"we dont call it zola's algorithm. we call it facebook, apple and amazon" gottem

Just FYI incase you don’t know the arm dosent give him strength he was injected with the same super soldier serum as captain America but the arm is just the a metal arm that’s a lot more durable,stronger than a normal arm

Prosthetics do have a sense of touch now.

I just realized the scene of nick fury cutting through the concrete was a homage to his Lightsaber days. He Even holds the torch like it’s a lightsaber.

Falcon uses "stolen" Stark repulsor tech. They show it when he shows Cap the blueprint. The government and SHIELD in the MCU and comics are constantly trying to replicate IronMan type tech, from Falcon suits, Mandroids... etc. Also, Caps Shield in the comics is actually a one of a kind metal that was an attempt to recreate Adamantium. It's explained that it can store and release energy in a unique way. He can block bullets with it, store that energy and then throw it and that energy will feed into the bounces making it bounce much harder than he actually threw it. Marvel didn't have access to the Mutants and Adamantium... so... Vibranium.

Man thank you so much man for editing on winter soldier tbh! A lot futuristic badas scenes involving technology!!

Awesome vid, love em keep em coming !

One thing I would say about the metal arm. As that while all strength based functions you perform with just that arm would obviously be extremely heightened, like your fingers would essentially be a vice, and you could lay down and curl 2 thousand pounds. It wouldn't help you much in terms of over-all strength. Like if someone captain america throws an atlas stone at you, just having that arm doesnt mean you can catch it. Because any force that impact would produce would have to travel through you into the ground somehow. And if you were to do any kind of full body lift or feat, the arm wouldn't help you as much as you think since your legs still have to do most of the work. Also that arm would weigh a fuckton, it seems to be almost completely made of metal. Which would completely lobside your body. The only reason bucky can throw it around and perform these crazy feats is because he's a super soldier. So his whole body is strong enough to match the forces the arm can produce.

Fury's injury: My theory on detecting Fury's injuries involves a continuous, low pulse of sound. Ultrasound is able to detect and image things beneath the skin. If the car is always ultrasound-ing the driver, it will know immediately if anything categorized as an injury occurs. Cap's shield: Absorbed or negated? I'm not an expert and am just spitballing here, but shouldn't impact come with a rebound? The shield hits, sending force into the wall. The wall rebounds it. Nothing truly negates impact, so the rebound will make the shield bounce. Every action creates an equal and opposite reaction and all that jazz. Meanwhile, the shield IS dissipating the impacts, so it will have a limited number of times it can bounce. However, the energy can't just vanish, so the shield will still be resonating with it accordingly. My phone: Music player first. Occasional google searcher. If bugs me endlessly to let it know my location for emergency purposes, and I ignore it. I don't make calls with it. You might be able to tell something from my Eris background and my notifications of Pica ( One Piece) screaming and Tiny Tina singing "Pop Goes The Bandit", though. Falcon's wings: In Civil War, Spiderman hindered Falcon by webbing up his exhaust, so it may be an advanced thruster that intakes air all around him before expelling it at high speeds. As for his wings, Spiderman did ask if they were carbon fiber. I'm more interested in how they would move and flex, but they could be reading his muscle movements to determine how to operate. As you move, your muscles ripple minutely. Ultrasound may be able to image that, too, and a specialized mapping software might be able to tie muscle movements to wing commands. Heli-carriers: Somehow, I don't think satellites can lock onto and shoot one million people at a time. That was the primary purpose of the Triskelion Formation. Hydra was going to use them to murder all possible enemies worldwide, a million at a time. Targeting someone from space may be possible to do with a bullet, but the bullet could easily miss over such a range and consider the velocity of firing a bullet from orbit. A million shots at a time, each that can easily miss, striking with such a force could cause untold damage.

Even Spider-Man said the shield breaks the laws of physics...

actually i think the shield bounces because the fact that its really... bouncy? like my explanation is that whenever the shield absorbs vibrations, its send it back out. if you shoot at it with a bullet, the bullet will go back with almost the same velocity, thats why in one of the scenes he is able to reflect back the minigun shots. so if you 'shoot' (throw) the shield at something, its reflects back. how it comes back to cap well in the comics, he just practiced and practiced for years to perfect it. and sam(falcon) is also shown practicing in the falcon and winter soldier trailer

In comic,also in wiki vibrenium metal has described as to absorbed, store and release high kinetic energy........ Which is why captains shield is bouncing back with double the initial speed and swing as be Frisbee Scientifically its impossible though, How could something multiplies its absorbed energy instead of being conserved without increasing systems entropy 🙄🙄

You have confirmed so many things that I questioned. Thanks for doing your videos

About Falcon, his suit involves Stark Repulsor Tech so that's how he flies. Repulsor tech in and of itself is pretty far in the future.

3:59 I have the answer. You see,yes the shield asorbes the energy,but it only shoots it back out where it got hit,so if it hits something,the shield absorbs the kenetic energy,and shoots it back out propelling it

As someone who loves this movie, I could never understand Furys hole trick. Like I'm fine with time travel and iron mana suit, but that just makes no sense

Keep doing these videos (more on Big bang theory!

All of your videos are both entertaining and really educational keep up the good work!❤

When you were talking about the wi-fi I was expecting a vpn sponsor.

Wow ai’m surprised. I thought your channel would have at least 1 mil. Damn underrated

Id like to think of Cap's shield as a capacitor and Black Phanter's armor as a battery. Black Phanter can absorb kinetic energy and releases it at any time he wants while Cap's Shield releases the energy instantly or uses that energy to bounce off the walls.

The wings are on his suit because they are what create the pressure required for him to stay in the air just like a plane does

I like how he is saying that a normal car doesn't have these things that directly tell you what the problem is because most people don't know how it works. It's not like you can just go into a Dealership and get this type of car I think when his car show him these things he would know what they mean xD

In the marvel comics, vibranium is the strongest metal on earth, and absorbs vibrations but discharges it back out. I don't much about physics, but I can assume that if Cap throws his shield with his super soldier strength, it will discharge the same kinetic energy that Cap used to throw it. I think they talked about it in Black Panther.

The thing Black Widow stuck to Winter Soldier's arm is either a mini EMP or an electronics scrambler of some kind.

I'm loving watching this series. I love hearing your thoughts and analysis in each vid.

2:50 he's not cutting through the concrete. he's cutting through a manhole cover.

As far as Cap's shield bouncing, wouldn't the fact that it's round and spinning play a role with the laws of motion? Seems to me that even if it absorbed impacts, that it would still need to bounce off objects as long as it's still moving. Add in Cap's higher strength when he throws it, with spin (like a football or bullet), it's creating it's own inertia as well. I could be wrong, but it just seems to me like it would at least be a contributing factor. As for Widow saying it would take 9 minutes for them to be found, that's for tracking their location, getting to the location, finding them in the mall and spotting them. Since Cap had asked how long will it take for them to find us, not how long will it take for them to track the signal, this is most logical answer.

Reason why cap's shield bounces is because it's not made out of pure vibranium. It's made from an alloy of adamantium, vibranium and iron. Or you could sat that the edges are made mostly out of adamantium.

It’s probably not realistic, but Bucky does somehow have a sense of touch in his arm. We see this in Civil War, when he feels and weighs the blueberries in his hand, and he can control the strength in it, depending on the situation and what he feels in his hand, considering he can go from soft touches to punching steel doors in.

I was not expecting a soliloquy on human psychology

Vibranium doesn’t just absorb, it always releases it like Panther’s suit.

The Hellicarriers have the same power source as Iron Man but on a MUCH larger scale. That's why they don't need a physical fuel source. Granted the energy source of Arc Reactor technology doesn't actually exist, but it is based on tesseract technology, or the Space Stone.

the scene where he run away from the car , i always thought it was by a manhole to the subway or someshit . so he had to cut the cardoor and the plate over the manhole , still not exatly easy feat with such a small instrument without burning himself .

3:28 I had that doubt for a looooooong time, thank you

Spiderman said it best, "that thing does not obey the laws of physics at all."

In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. the cutter Fury uses is shown in development and named a "mouse hole" developed by a Shield scientist, so there was some attempt to explain why it defies real world physics.

What about the counsel people? And when Secretary Pierce has the bomb things on the other counsel men. What about the mask that Natasha wears when she says "Did I step on your moment"?

Caps shild is not 100% vib. It has other metals in it, that's why it is so special

To do with the captain american shield bouncing off, I believe its similar to the black panther suit, the shield absorbs all vibrations and distributes it therefore the shield bounces off whatever surface it hits as soon as it hits it, the difference with the suit and shield is that the suit stores the energy and releases it when the user wants to

It's like Peter said, that shield doesn't follow the laws of physics. :D

the answer to how the sheild coming back to him is simple he threw it like a boomerang is how he did

I think with the Arnim Zola scene they were tryna say that essentially they made a copy of his ‘brain’ I guess at the time so technically it’s not him as his conscious is gone but it’s the closest thing to his physical brain so I guess his work can continue. Although it doesn’t explain how the hell he would be creative and come up with new ideas without a conscience lol.

Great Video! Amazing Content!

The mechanic's corrolary. The more information your car can tell you about mechanical failures, the more likely it will have an electrical one. Also, i think the helicarriers are possible, but they're not tactically advantageous. More along the lines of show of force and psychological warfare.

I think those helicarriers are electrically charged (some kind of High Powered Generator must be there in those Helicarriers), those don't consume fuel in order to stay in the air

Damn i love this video a lot, I would love for him to explain how you would build one in real life also tbh lol

Me watching this in my shop with lots of cutting tools: 😳

3:32 It’s possible because in the marvel universe vibrainium may absorb all the kinetic energy but it also has to discard that energy as well we see this in black panther, endgame, infinity war, and so on. I hypothesize that he uses that discharge to propel the shield back to him which gives another reason why it can’t cancel out other vibrainium objects like the winter soldiers arm and Black Panthers Suit

When he was talking about the shield I was just screaming adamantem him at the scream

Real Engineer is The new Engineer now

Lol theres a quip in civil war spiderman says " that thing (shield) really doesnt obey the laws of physics". The repulsors area kind of a comic mcguffin. When I watched that I said why dont they just strap the guns on the sattelites, there in space I doubt many people could grab em

Would caps shield work if only the center was vibranium but the outside was regular metal?

In the comics caps shield in made of a vibranium adamantium alloy. Though vibranium absorbs energy adamantium doesn't. But adamantium is nearly indestructible. Which is why they chose the two metals. Adamantium for durability vibranium for partial energy absorption

Caps shield isn't just made of vibrainium. There are areas of the shield made from a different alloy of metal that allows forces and vibration to be channeled in different directions

Omg, your right about the absorption.....I’ll never see the shield the same again! Thanks 😫🤬

maybe it has different propperties when its hit as a shield liket the actual shield then it has some kind of alloy around the edges in order to bounce but still absorb impact when used as protection. Also it may be possible the drive had some sort of software that could fend off any locating or seeing who it was or what the info was from the wifi provider and it wasn't their computer so it wasn't untill they plugged in that it would've been possible to keep their identity secret for a few mins.

Dude i searched up Can Buck's Hand be in real life And i found u ANd now i am addicted i watched ur Big hero 6 vid, Black Panther vid, Iron man Vid and age of ultron vid And i just keep watching!

It's like you were saying, how they predict things, and it's extremely accurate, so I'd be thinking about Archery one moment and as soon as I go on Amazon or RU-vid there will be Archery videos or Bows for sale and it actually very scary! Like the things we've grown up to be afraid of is the very thing that we now depend on! Edit: 1 minute after typing this comment I get an ad about securing private information! Coincidence??? I think NOT!

I can explain that, the captain america shield is not actually fully vibranium it's mixed with vibranium, if you look closely at the shield there are rings circling around the shield, those are actually vibranium rings. So when he throws the shield with enough force considering this is captain america throwing it, when the metal bends the vibranium snaps it back to the way it was.

Peter Parker even said in Civil War that the shield defies the laws of physics.

With the tracking thing, Natasha probably put up something that can change the location of where they are every few seconds on the person tracking them computer. Seeing as SHEILD has so many smart agents that are so advanced in missions, cases, ect Nat is probably hypothesizing how much time it will take for someone to get through all the security systems and things that make the laptop she's using untraceable.

Storing your mind on a device is a fascinating concept to me , from my perspective (not learned any kind of science but into it) you could totally pull it off , it would take a lot of time to make the software and store every detail about you like memories , traits , ticks etc. but after it's all done and your mind is in that device , it is you but not at the same time , you will die when the time comes but the mind you created will still exist and you can't see it anymore...2 am thinking right here while watching a bunch of your videos.

FYI, the government wouldn't have to search the internet for the flash drive. The flash drive would call home the second it has access to any sorta network.

love your comment about cellphones as an extension of us, i never thought about it.

Heat signature to detect life forms and their human bodies

An in-depth discussion about the arm tech being disrupted by widow's disc but not one word about the tech of that little disc

Perhaps there's a trigger when the car experiences high impacts to do some kind of xray, or multiple small xrays from various positions. (The image on the screen that's screen wouldn't necessarily have to be of those images, but just have the injury mapped into it) The only way I could think of a way to hand wave the shield either bouncing or absorbing and dissipating all kinetic energy is if the vibranium shield has a crystalline structure that behaves differently depending on the direction of incidence (and then stop thinking about it). Say force at the normal to the face of the shield dissipates, and anything at the normal to the rim is amplified. That doesn't explain why cap lands striking the ground with the rim to disperse some of his kinetic energy though... Either way there's no mention of any of this, so it's probably just marvel magic or something.

6:50 thats so interesting. Ive never thought about it like that

Can someone please clarify what he means when he says that electromagnets enhance strength to lift heavy objects? I get it in the case of metal shipping containers, etc. but the winter soldier and iron man are just using the arm/suit for regular lifting or fighting. Thx.

it maybe depends on the shields edges being an alloy of different materials? so his shield up front takes kinetic energy, and edges has different quality?

I think that when the car got it the AI or whatever has predicted that he might have most likely broken his arm because of the force and the way his body moves I would say the car seat can tell how it impacted and moved him farthing the accuracy of the prediction of his broken arm

The thing that Nick Fury is using to escape is called a mouse hole Leo Fitz used one on agents of shield

The shield isn't completely made of vibranium, that's why it can bounce

3:25 That simply isn't how physics works. You can't absorb energy without it going somewhere. Kyle Hill did a great video on this when he was still with Because Science. You should give it a look.

Similar to how a traditional aircraft carrier abroad can quickly deploy military air power to an unfolding skirmish, the Helicarrier concept takes it to the next level as it probably has a faster cruising speed and wouldn't be limited by land barriers to reach its destination. Back in the 1970's, Boeing worked with the USAF on the 747-AAC variation that had an underbelly of 10 Boeing Model 985-121 "microfighters" that could launch, retrieve, re-arm, and refuel the fighters which means flexible air power and not hoping ground troops needing air support could get it only because of a nearby air base. Realistically, I think a blimp-like Helicarrier would be more feasible (similar to the refueling air blimp from the movie Stealth-2005). Speaking of which, you should do a reaction video to Stealth (2005); lots of engineering material to cover there....and Jessica Biel!

another inaccuracy with the flying super heroes is that never see them A) pass out from g-forces or B) train them selves to withstand the g-forces. except for falcon maybe, cus i think he used to be a fighter pilot in the army before he was falcon

i dont know about bouncing off of things but if it absorbs vibrations it shouldn't be making a sounds when hitting on to something

Spider-Man called it.. Cap’s shield doesn’t obey the law of physics at all
