Can Candy Power a Rocket Launch? - Mythbusters - Science Documentary

[@TheLastPhoen1x]

Try sugar free gummy bears. Just eat the whole bag and you will have a rocket liftoff in the toilet.

the Atomic Flush!!!

[@mu11668B]

Just take a trip to the nearest Taco Bell and it would perform as well. 😁

Remember, if anyone ever tells you that "you're full of sh-t", just think "rocket fuel!".

[@Heterodyne]

8:05 I'm sitting here thinking "I would have thought that directly heating a glass dish would've explo-....there it goes!"

[@artemisknightprotectorofth8956]

THAT MADE ME JUMPED AS WELL HOLY GUMMIES

[@jubuttib]

Seen plenty enough lab experiments where they heat glass directly (one where they vaporized diamonds in a glass tube was cool) to know it's possible, with the right type of glass. Borosilicate glass has a veeery low thermal expansion factor, and can take a very high heat load without breaking. Pyrex home dishes used to be made of that, but unfortunately they've since switched to tempered glass, which isn't nearly as tough against heat. =(

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@jubuttib Yeah I was under the impression that you have to use the vintage Pyrex dishes from the 70s to heat them without breakage. Adam clearly didn't do his homework, as was seen with the hybrid rocket results.

[@guesswho2778]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 pyrex changed the recipe at some point to make things cheaper, these newer ones are not as heat tolerant and there is no way to tell the new from the old. its very possible he thought it was an old one when it infact wasnt.

[@krokodil191]

Must admit, season 10 is better than I expected.

[@robertagostino629]

Right?

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I didn't even know this show ran until 2018. I stopped watching after the original run. Did it go on hiatus for awhile and then come back?

[@triggrhappi]

44:45 "Rocketry is something that we DO DO" 🤣

[@frango_e_salada]

Mythbusters is all about learning... even in simple ways. I watch Adam through MB until Tested, and when I see him put Glass + Sugar DIRECTLY on fire I realize that anyone can't know everything at the same time.

[@jubuttib]

It's not impossible for good quality borosilicate glass to handle that just fine, lab beakers from Pyrex often handle WAY worse situations. Unfortunately Pyrex cookware in the US used to be made of pretty much the same stuff, but these days is "just" tempered soda lime glass, which is prone to exactly this happening. You can still get proper borosilicate glass cookware from Pyrex in Europe though, and for those I wouldn't really expect to have any problems.

[@Sethioz]

that sign on freezer "THIS IS NOT A SHELF" ... i know exactly how Jamie is feeling, he's like "ughhh .... it's so frustrating dealing with dummies who would use freezer as shelf"

[@403GT]

As hes taking his shit off of it lol

[@triumvir_hunt]

poop rocket must have one hell of a smell when burned though. sounds like a crappy idea

[@gorgha3988]

I literally JUST finished eating dinner (chili dogs no less) about 5 minutes before the poop segment ...

[@hankrhill324]

The poop is interesting except you’d need all the equipment up in space with you to turn it into rocket fuel. You’d also need a lot of it.

[@LordStarbeard]

Simple, take a couple of flat-earthers with you, they're full of shit 😁

[@DerekWiffen]

try adding a little sodium or potassium perchlorate to the gummy bears. I think you will find it gets far more exiting.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I was thinking to myself, that's not a vintage Pyrex dish, is it? Only the old ones can withstand an open flame.

[@laurencebois5119]

I have become diabetic simply by watching this episode

[@RonPiggott]

I remember 8 year old me asking my mom to record Bingo on TV and using these exact gummy bears to see if I could win at Bingo!

[@Klokopf52]

Poop ain't as useless anymore. My Cousins Master Degree was turn it into a Bio Polymer that could be used in place of traditional Plastic. And it works. You can make Containers out of it to protect things, make them rugged, even use in place of a lot of packing material.

[@creepywolf9278]

Thanks, now i dont want to eat my chocolate anymore

[@RonPiggott]

I wonder how many calories per km / hour it takes

[@AndyTaylor-uj1kb]

It begs the question why not use standard white granular sugar, surely not having to boil off water to start with will improve the prospects...? 😊❤ A

[@the_mini_axe2817]

if you are doing a sugar rocket "properly" that is where you start (though they tend to be smaller rockets) but rocket hobbyists are slightly insane and try to make them out of everything with a high enough sugar content

[@Yora21]

White sugar is not really candy.

[@frogwashing]

19:27 there's just some guy behind a crate like 10ft from the rocket lol

[@zuban222]

Does not mean black smoke lack of oxidizer? It would probably fly even better with a different ratio.

[@AegisPupus]

Rocket took a poop...

[@Chicken-x6q6d]

So in a nutshell you can make a low explosive out of just about anything combustible if it is refined enough and mixed with an oxidizer.

[@jocax188723]

LOx is 'explosively compatible' with literally any hydrocarbon. That's what makes it so dangerous.

[@kadmow]

~ 8:17 inferior pyrex - reached its tempered soda lime limits ???

[@Vakthund1]

Poop rockets for Mars😂😂😂

20000 feet? what was mount everest height in feet?

There is a expression in finnish when someone describes speaking, "jauhaa paskaa" which means "to grind shit". Just saying...

Seriously, 3 long ads less than 5 min apart, that's abuse and greed. The title should be, Ads with Mythbuster stuff in between.

Let's make shitty rockets.
