"Plausible but ridiculous" are usually the most fun myths.

@MrMarinus18 5 месяцев назад

Mythbusters has aged very well especially compared to other reality shows. I think in part it is because they legitimately find what they are doing interesting and very little of it is scripted, the vast majority is completely improvised or genuine. They also are all from the movie industry so larger-than-life reactions is what they are into.

@genghiscalm 7 месяцев назад

Was really hoping they'd try a parabolic mirror at the entrance to solve the directional sun issue. Making it out of glass would be near impossible w/o modern techniques, but given the polished metal assumption I think it's reasonable.

@dwoodman26 7 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing. Also dissapointed they didn't use Bronze mirrors like in the film 😩

Thank you so much for uploading the Mystbusters series. It's a bummer i can't watch the whole series even via VPN here in Germany. I watched some of the episodes back in the days but they didn't air every episode over here. So, Mythbusters is one of the gotos on YT helps me fighting my heavy depressions and PTSD wich makes me beeing trapped in my home. Best wishes from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪

@MrMarinus18 5 месяцев назад

I kinda would have hoped they had set a third benchmark for a darkness adjusted eye. It has been shown many times that this difference is very significant.

@KiwiSenseiYT 4 месяца назад

Would've been irrelevant though, the experiment was to compare to the movie, and to see if the mirrors were enough to cover the ambient light needed to navigate, without your eyes adjusting since they entered straight from sunlight. Doing darkness adjusted benchmarks would've added a ton of unnecessary time since they'd take roughly 25 min per attempt, to gain no information of value.

It was pretty painful watching Tory completely lock up the wheels. At least there's a cool shot at 31:49 illustrating why we have ABS.

@adam346 Месяц назад

so apparently many Sheriffs and Police Departments have banned the use of the pit maneuver over speeds of 50mph because of the likelihood of a fatality being caused... in some jurisdictions it's categorized as lethal force.

@ChildOfDarkness85 6 месяцев назад

To worry about light in a tomb is just Luxury :D Could not leave this joke behind.

@tfrowlett8752 7 месяцев назад

The problem with locking up the brakes is you’re overall braking effect is greatly reduced. It may seem counterintuitive but you should ease off the brake until the the wheels just start rolling, then you’ll get maximum braking effect. This is mainly for cars without ABS.

@MrMarinus18 5 месяцев назад

Those cars didn't have ABS. When you're braking really hard for an extended time the ABS is very noticeable as it rattles loudly.

50.000-10.000lux = stadion lights (depends on size of the stadion) 5000-2000lux = operation rooms or laboratories (depends on usage) 1000lux = most working places which got something to do with food like a baker or butcher for example. 750lux = my working place (technical drawer) 500lux =standard office working place 200lux = office floors 1lux = security lighting in case of fire 200lux is enough to see everything with blank eye. it doesn't suprise me that you need way less than this 1lux. it's calculated for a room which is at least partly filled with smoke.

If you try to stop a car going 50mph on a highway, you will go off into the trees in seconds. You need a 100m wide highway with no traffic to stop 😂

@Corosar 3 месяца назад

hmm the sun moving might be mitigated with multiple mirrors. All calibrated to reflect light to a receiving mirror to bounce into the room proper. setting that up though might be tricky though.

dude this harpoon looks intermediating i can't believe they did this with Carrie in the front car. so dangerous. reminds me of that episode when Adam and Jamie were piercing tired and doors of the car in the same dangerous manner. so glad they all end up fine

The most obvious problem with Tori's homemade method of stopping a car is, what if it's a rear-engine car? Is it going to explode from having a giant harpoon stabbed through your engine block?

@kikixchannel 7 месяцев назад

It won't be pierced. Piercing through an engine block isn't the same as piercing through a trunk. Engine is made from strong, thick metal. Trunk is made from thin metal sheet.

@chrisfoster9080 7 месяцев назад

Did they take their foot off the gas after contact, or keep the foot to the floor. I didn't see any spinning rear wheels from the rear car when stopped.

@dwoodman26 7 месяцев назад

Typical automatic saloon car like that wouldn't have enough power to spin the wheels on dry tarmac, it will burn out the clutch trying to make it move. If it's a manual, once they get the car slow enough, the engine will stall.

@dwoodman26 7 месяцев назад

It does seem they took their foot off the accelerator once the cars stopped though, would have been nice to see the effect it would have!

Back when I was young, we smoked some whacky-tabaccy once in a while / daily. One time, after smoking a couple of smokes, the plan was to go to 7-11, get snacks and watch a movie. So. We walked thru the woods. And stuff. Till the guy with the last whacky cig realized he didn't have it anymore. We were able to retrace our steps easily thru the woods. Let's face it. We were in no shape for difficult tasks. And there, in a random place in the woods was a joint laying on the forest floor. Didn't even have to try. This was before cell phones, so there was zero lighting. If you can't see, wait a sec.
