Duck Tape Crazy! | MythBusters | Season 7 Episode 13 | Full Episode

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Jamie Hyneman: "I fear no living enemy, but this bridge... it terrifies me."

[@calumsanderson6741]

I love that people fixate on the fact that Jamie and Adam aren't friends as if they failed at forming a friendship or something, like, we're so used to people in shows we like forging genuine connections. I guess because they're the hosts you think they'd be besties? anyway my point is Jamie was fucking shitting himself crossing that bridge and Adam knew exactly what to say in support and congratulations. That's not the sign of enemies. It's the sign of respect. And I think people forget you can respect people without being their friend.

[@bovinleephann]

Yeah, IIRC Adam has said that they have mutual respect, but their personalities are so incompatible they couldn't be friends. And that's fine lol

[@LaraCroftCP]

But think about how much they two cared about each other in Dangerous situations.

[@N13J]

I wonder how long Adam spent building his fantastic contraption instead of hooping ten rolls over a single post. Jamie was very diplomatic in his response to the invention. 20:00

Well, it may have taken a while to build it, but now they have a device that will let them make duct tape ropes quickly whenever they want.

[@owenhoward5168]

I thought duct tape and gaffer's tape were two different things? Gaffer's tape isn't quite as strong but doesn't leave behind a residue when you pull it off. It's less likely to damage painted sets.

[@kyuofcosmic]

You are correct. I do mix them up occasionally as well.

Duct tape isn’t used to be reused :)

[@ForksandFreaks]

Technically yes, they are different, though both names tend to be used interchangeably by the general populace.

Makes me feel uncomfortable how everyone on the show is relatively young, and half of them have already passed away.

[@michaelmayhem350]

@@YourComputerExpert it makes me uncomfortable how bad at math you are. Because half of 6 is 3 not 2. Jaime Adam Tory Kari are still alive, only Jesse and Grant have died and Jesse was only in a few episode while Kari was pregnant so for regular hosts we could say 1/5 died which is even further from half. Also this show is like 20+ years old lol

It might have failed eventually to stop the car but it also bent the nose in 8+ inches

[@martiansoon9092]

Here's something for chemists: Make these duck tape bondings permanent with some additional spray or liquid. With duck tape you can build almost anything, but it lasts only awhile with sticky bondings. If you can solidify these bondings, then these construction will last far longer. Start studying this. (You may even have a solution already...)

My date when we finally get back to my place 44:20

[@gorgha3988]

I feel like for the myth where they tried to stop the car, to pull it off properly they really needed actual telephone poles. Solid, nearly impossible to move anchors. I also feel like they should have built a stretchy net, like a spider's web, instead of a single layered strand or a giant hard slab. Something to absorb and distribute the energy of the impact instead of just taking it in one big bang. Both methods they tested don't provide any give, and are like just hitting a brick walls. At those speeds, with such solid barriers, something is going to wrecked no matter what, and the myth was stopping the car, not obliterating it.

I love the duct tape bridge

[@leandervr]

Kari has been my crush since basically forever, and somehow she's even hotter destroying that car xD

[@matoatlantis]

I'd walk blindfolded over that bridge and be happy. But I would not bury myself alive even if they pay me $1M. While it's not David Blaine style being buried alive but still.

[@lordmmx1303]

as long as the floor of the car is in one piece, it will hold together

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Okay but... Miley Cyrus TOTALLY stole her idea for the Wrecking Ball video from Kari. Right?? 8:35 ff

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Also, the ductape bridge has a design-flaw in as such that the handles are too low. It gives the walker the feeling of flipping over the handrail. Instead, they should have made them higher so that they are about navel-height.

[@colinofay7237]

3:14 funny cause i think i heard him say on his own channel he hates duct tape😂

[@kikixchannel]

Not sure what you mean? The timestamp points to a part where he just says what they need to do for the myth. Shortly before that he talks about 'awesome power of duct tape', so I guess you refer to that? If yes, then this and that does not counter each other. People can very much hate something they consider amazingly useful. For example I acknowledge the great health benefits coming from garlic, but that doesn't stop me from despising it and being unable to eat anything if I actually can taste garlic in it.

[@BaumisMagicalWorld]

Duct tape is amazingly strong, but a pain in the ass to work with. It's really sticky and basically impossible to come apart once you accidentally make it touch. So, I do get that sentiment.

[@InexplicableInside]

Adam's talked about this before. Duck tape is a phenomenally versatile jack of all trades, but it's very much a master of none. Adam's happy to keep a roll of it around for emergency patch jobs etc., but as a maker it's ALWAYS inferior to using the right materials, and Adam would rather just use the right materials. (Also, despite the list at 11:20, gaffer's tape is a different thing, and FAR superior for many jobs.)

Weirdest bridge? Nah, Living root bridge in India is weirder. Or from more modern bridges: Falkirk Wheel in Scotland.

[@Tjescoo]

Isn't the Falkirk wheel more like a water lock, which would make it similar to an elevator rather than a bridge?

[@hannuala-olla4302]

@@Tjescoo colloquially yes. More broadly bridge means a structure that gets you over an obstacle. I suppose it's semantics though.

[@Schmorgus]

The fact that Jamie went against his fear of heights and walked on that, shows that people in general are just pansies now a days :P

[@MidlandsAirsoft]

kari looked great here

duct tape is good for a bridge but not recommendly

[@Schmorgus]

Talking about Mythbusters, I would have assumed they understood tension... Taping a car to a pole and full throttle will give less tension than nudging it forward. The myth was not confirmed at 23:51 .

[@Nivola1953]

Jamie and Adam are great builders, but they fell asleep during physics classes in school. That breaking force you measured pulling down in the centre is a lot less than the pulling force along the tape. If you graphically construct the forces diagram, you know that the closer you are to horizontal the higher is the longitudinal component needed to compensate the orthogonal force. That’s why suspension bridges have a long bow of cables that describe a curve called catenary, from the Latin word for chain.

[@AutoCrete]

From Alaska, source Aviation Humor. (some pretty interesting photos) A Piper Cub bush plane smelling of fish from a recent fly in got the attention of a grizzly bear who figured there was one hell of a feed of fish inside the Cub. The grizzly tore the plane apart including the tires. The pilot got a buddy to fly in tires, several rolls of cellophane and 3 cases of duct tape. He repaired the plane and flew it home. His insurance company had a look at the Cub and wrote it off. You do have to respect the pilot for a 'bush repair' that got him home.

[@d4slaimless]

And Mythbusters had the episode where they repaired the plane with duct tape. I think it was exactly this story that inspired the episode of the show. I remember Kari making bear paw with claws specifically to tear the boards.

[@Britephartt]

[@Westy1308]

Bro the myth is that it can stop a car, like brick wall style, and they dead-ass drove straight at it. They even made sure to double up on potential casualties

[@ristopoho824]

I keep two kinds of duck tape in stock usually. One that has a better tensile strength, and one that has better glue. All the way through the episode i kept thinking of which one i would use in which situation.

[@ristopoho824]

Ow dang i just thought of something. The fabric in the thing is the duck, and that's the thing giving it the pull strength. So. One of the ducktapes has better duck and the other has the better tape.

[@Tjescoo]

The real question is: did you ever need it for anything because haste was required, and you had no better option available?

[@ristopoho824]

@@Tjescoo I like to prototype with it. And then attach more permanently later. On most of things i ever do, a wonderful material for that.

*Duct

[@sintoxic]

Nope, "Duck tape" is actually correct as well. It was invented to water-proof ammo boxes during the war and repel water (like the feathers of a duck do). Over time people used it for many things like sealing ducts too, which gave it numerous new names.

[@Kolfonik]

[@dgthe3]

The actual myth was about a single roll of duct tape stopping a car going 60 mph. It absolutely can not. They ramped it up to 100 rolls and the car only slowed down a bit. If they used 500 rolls, maybe they could have stopped it. But that is 500x the amount of the original myth. Busted.

[@vinkuu]

Isn't it called duct tape? Not a native speaker. Anyway, gorilla tape has since passed in superiority.

[@georgebulbakwa9017]

The original is Duck tape. Adhesive stuck to duck canvas. Original uses were for quick waterproofing. The problem is "Duck Tape" is a trademarked name. When the imitations came out they had to rename the copies to avoid legal problems. Since it was commonly used for duct and vent repairs at that point and it souded close, the imitations called themselves "Duct Tape". Duck was the original. Duct is the generic copy.

@@georgebulbakwa9017 "The original is Duck tape". Did not know that. In my country that tape is used for attaching ducts with each other. Hence I've always thought it's called duct tape.
