Creating Homemade Road Spikes with Flair | MythBusters

[@dooden01]

why does every mythbusters video on discovery youtube channel always end like wayy too early

[@gravelroad1228]

Because it’s a teaser. They want you to pay to see the full thing, so they put out teasers to get you interested. That is also why the uploaders of the ”full episodes” on KZbin upload it bad quality audio, video, lighting, or position, because if they uploaded it perfect quality like it is on the TV or streaming services, it would very quickly be a copyright issue.

[@crazy808ish]

Yeah, it's always really disappointing because they never get to the interesting parts.

[@gravelroad1228]

He could use some long nose pliers and dip each one of them in paint. Highest area coverage with minimal paint wastage.

[@notchs0son]

Yes but that paint will drip while drying instead of a even coat also the paint isn’t wasted you really think that’s wasteful those cans when you pierce it will make puddles of paint where you leave it. If it doesn’t explode

[@Ogrematic]

@@notchs0son I think he meant dip it in normal paint, not cut open a spray can smart guy.

[@twilightsparkle75]

@@notchs0son all of the paint that is missing the road spikes and getting on the wood board isnt being wasted? interesting i didnt think the board was a part of the intended set of objects he wanted to paint but i could be wrong, or is that paint still able to be retrieved and recycled back into the can somehow?

Metal 3D printer! is what Mythbusters need to get. Not saying just eliminate humans from making stuff but the human hand can only do so much and 3D printers can make things beyond what we can do and fully assembled with moving parts. Discovery channel buy these guy a metal 3D printer and you will have the most popular show ever!I can't imagine the things they can think up with imagination being the limit to 3D printers which is almost infinite. 3D printing is a wild west and Mythbusters need to be all over that! in my opinion haha

[@UniversalPioneer]

look it up on youtube, but yes and it's amazing. You can 3D print glass, plastics, wood, carbon fibre, ceramic, food, bio tissue,flex rubber, some electric circuit boards,metals like gold, titanium, silver, etc and the list of materials is growing! In the future you will have one machine with all materials printing out iPhones 20 and furniture, clothing and everything pretty much. Oh ya and they are printing houses right now in our times lol crazy stuff!

[@Ikelae]

barookqtr123 It is crazy how much 3d printing has grown in the last decade. Give it another decade or two, and they will be our replicators from startrek ^^

[@UniversalPioneer]

Yeah it's been around for 20 years but now cheaply available to the regular folk. I got into it for RC mutirotors and would possibly like to build some sort of robot. We can print the cup but not brew the coffee at the same time yet. I see a glorious open sourced world ahead of us!

[@felipebrandel5436]

2:13 polyhedron not polygon

[@brendtoconnell6119]

That's actually a pretty good idea. But not very practical for property defense. Say you have property that you don't live at and want to stop vehicles from entering in. Well in most cases their not going to go through a locked gate. They will find a path of least resistance through the grass. So take a piece of flat plate steel, and weld 3" rebar spikes, staggered every 6 inches. Cut the rebar at an angle, not so sharp that it will puncture a shoe, but sharp enough to go through a vehicle tire. Anchor your finished steel plate in tall grass with landscaping spikes. Tall grass helps to conceal the strip. And well if they cross that property line, they will be buying new tires after that.

[@eb4305]

[@AlienTreeGuy]

I've always wondered if you could use UK power plugs as a post-apocalyptic substitute for a road spike. Maybe not all of them will land upwards (Despite what I've experienced during the time I've lived here...) but at least some of them would.

No, the angles between vertices of a regular tetrahedron are not "90 degrees", as stated at 1:57. They're about 109.47 degrees (that's arccos(-1/3)). See www.ctralie.com/Teaching/Tetrahedron/

[@connerrj]

If you make them out of metal capillary tubing, it gives a way for the air to escape deflating the tires almost instantly just as soon as you drive over them. If you use framing nails like this, you can actually drive surprisingly far before the air deflates from the tires! They’re not as easy to make that way, but 1000x more effective. The Mythbusters did an episode on it. Search “Mythbusters tire spikes”.

I collect Caltrops. I have an original like the one made here. It was OSS WW2. Its my only tire deflation example. I have a 14x14 WW1 example. Nasty. They were designed to take 3 soldiers out of the equation. One injured and two to help the injured. Also horses.

Caltrops are not a new idea. They were used in medieval and dark age battlefields to maim horses and foot soldiers. In the UK if anyone were caught making or possessing these, they would be in quite a lot of trouble.
