The more I watch these KZbin uploads of Mythbusters, the more I realize Adam is just a big kid and Jamie is an android who grew up into a man.

[@Savahax]

And Kari is an annoying pedantic little brat

[@Rando_Shyte]

@@Savahax Yeah she sucks. Hot in the early seasons though.

[@JMUDoc]

"... obviously, we won't be able to get a real human spine..." Well, not with THAT attitude!

[@LeCheeese]

Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a new mythbusters episode

[@kastle09-gaming86]

This episode is special to me, this is the first Mythbusters episode I ever watched.

[@Boballoo]

Burnt Buster on the throne looks so gruesome! I hope they let him retire after this . . . or maybe just bury him.

[@monofame]

Ok call me crazy - but in my opinion they don’t just tell the myths!

[@feedi7948]

Wait, they put them to the test !?

But who are the Mythbusters?

I saw the latter end of the ceiling fan myth on TV years ago, I'm so glad it's now available for me to watch over and over again

[@michalanckoronski2673]

Christine would be as good Mythbuster as Kari. Change my mind.

[@vandercudo]

Do you see Kari, and then look at Christine. Which one do you think, was sexiest? And hence, was more tv friendly?

16:25 Even if it really worked, it wouldn't be free energy... it's just a bad solar engine...

[@Mikael404]

Solar is basically "free" energy you just need tools to harness it.

[@tsm688]

even if? it **did** work, even though it was horribly unoptimized. You need an engineer to calculate the evaporation rates, and heat sinks to absorb heat better, and something like a heat pipe to wick up the fluid faster. Even then you can easily calculate the energy that's coming out of it - less than what's going in. A whole lot of effort for just a few watts.

[@nighthunter3039]

​@@Mikael404as are wind and water

[@Mikael404]

@@nighthunter3039 Partially yes because those two needs to be a certain place to be useful solar can be anywhere it's only weakpoint is clouds. There are other factors with those two you mentioned that should be told people. Wind turbines needs to be in windy open areas, far away from bird nesting or migration zones. Some people are trying to build them in forest while keeping it in natural state. There is a reason why this doesn't always work. Lastly plastic especially composite parts in those turpines are not only hard to recycle. They can also spread microplastic especially when something goes wrong. Hydro power is not as clean as people think it is, in fact it's filled with dirty secrets. Enviromental disasters to human right violations. No wonder why they aren't build often most of them are small buildings.

[@raanthur3750]

They mentioned that at the end of that experiement.

[@sergegostoli9524]

24:17 that look of sheer terror on her face as she probably wonders if the contraption might thrust towards then

[@TheTrueBatBrain]

Random question, does anyone remember an episode where they get a new version of bullet proof polycarb and rhey do a comparison of thebold blast shields and the new stuff. It's not when Adam challenges Jamie on his determination that his half inch sheeting was bullet proof because I distinctly remember Jamie being kind of annoyed at the standards of the old stuff

[@MrNouvelage]

The episode you're referring to is likely "Spy Car 2" from Season 9, Episode 3, which originally aired in 2011. In this episode, the MythBusters team tests various myths related to spy cars, including bulletproof materials. They compare old and new bulletproof polycarbonate materials and discuss the standards and effectiveness of each. Jamie's annoyance at the older standards and the team's detailed comparison fit the description you've provided.

[@A_N1ne]

I think there's another episode other then "Spy car 2" where they do test Jamie's clam of "practically bullet proof" I think it's in the first Archimedes Death Ray episodes. S2 Ep 4

[@weriesblack1375]

Free energy myth or is it all one elaborate SCAM😅😅

[@nighthunter3039]

The best "free energie" are still Wind Turbines and photovoltaik. Its not really free in the sense of getting energy without a source but many of those they used had the same principle some even useing the sun.... I really wonder why they didn't thought of those two xD

[@tsanggary6422]

19:13 Sadly, at that time Grant hadn't shown up to help Adam. (I know, Grant joined the Mythbusters later)

[@DrShempTV]

46:11 out of context, this would sound absolutely psychotic

[@georgekostaras]

I think this was the first episode of this show I ever saw

That fan store should have called itself Only Fans!😂😂😂

[@Benjamin-ot8fd]

Oh shizzz🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@UtraVioletDreams]

Perpetual motion: Well in space or zero gravity. Once kinetic energy is induced a.k.a motion. Then the object that holds the energy keeps on going, pertatual. So with a friction less system. Maybe free energy can be a thing.

[@AustrianIlius]

Wouldnt Wind or Sun driven devices be considered "free-energy" in that sense.... they sucks energy out of the environment. sure the machines are expensive to build and maintain, but that doesnt seem to be considered in any other free energy device either

[@danielk9316]

there is free energy. look at the sky. a big ball of fire spitting so much energy whole humanity could live a year from just a second of it.

[@SynthfulDuck]

11:23 Adam rushed too much and didn't let the guy give his opinion xD That's annoying.

[@Not-TheOne]

RIP Eric Gates

[@kylegoode7846]

Thanks for putting this up I have been hoping someone would make this available

[@Pasixable]

When rewatching these episodes nowadays I notice the added annoying SFX but holy crap this episode takes the cake with the fake wind blowing during the desert scenes. You see literally no wind blowing and then have that playing at all points even during cutting to a different scene the wind still goes without skipping in the sound. But what was most disturbing is the graphic made where Kari is in bed....and Adam jumps into it wearing a costume when the context we get is they are about to f##k. That is just yikes.

[@Netbug]

Bizarre that they didn't test the welds first... it's common sense. Even making a weld liquid tight is a challenge, let alone gas tight. One look at those welds tells you they need to be tested.

[@313Games]

22:08 I'd like to fumigate this chair Adam, it's a quality piece of furniture....

[@adamloadsman2133]

I personally stuck the outside of my hand (just below the pinky finger) into a ceiling fan on high. Just a standard fan. (Not on purpose, I was taking off my shirt and forgot it was up there 😅) and it split my hand open. Stitches and swelling to twice its normal size. I think they should have come in from the outside of the blades maybe?

[@frankowalker4662]

19:30 If Adam had set up the aerial outside, he would have got a BIT more power. Inside is like a Faraday cage, blocking all the radio signals. (it wouldn't be much of an improvement)

[@NorwayT]

You cannot break the Laws of Thermodynamics… That's why these contraptions use more energy than they produce.

[@Altinget]

The chinese must have known that he would go up, but why didn't they think about what comes next....would he stay or how to do the return??? 🤷‍♂️

[@dottoremabuse5729]

.... The good doctor Hanzi' - does look more than a bit alike ..... FRANKENSTEIN !! (I knéw Frankenstein was behind the idea of 'Mythbusters' all along).

[@scrivener68]

Once again, Kari gets all squeamish about a pig spine, but doesn't give a crap about an actual human skull.

[@SyntheticFuture]

48:52 now for the big question: who's blood is on Adam's hand? :P

[@timemaster2619]

U can shatter a cheap fan blade by wedging pair or scissors through the cage and the shards go flying it’s cool asf

Gas bottles are the wrong color, white reflects heat. Paint them black and try again.
