So strange to be watching Grant again. R.I.P. Grant Imahara, the build team, was the best!

[@hdoglesby]

It's strange for me bc I'll watch other host/actors that have passed, acknowledge their passing then continue on with the show or film but when I see grant I immediately get that same sadness I felt when I first heard what had happened to him. I've lost loved ones in my 52 years and obviously miss their presence but I am surprised how much his passing has affected me.

Atmos can work with up to 64 channels, obv not using that many in a phone. IDK what an iphone does.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Oh man, I love the blueprint for the Bourne myth. Adam: _nerds out about Bourne and shows off a movie prop he acquired_ Jamie: _literally does not care_ I don't remember if they showed it in the episode, but the NASA guys were very impressed by how Grant and Tory approached the problem. They never considered the possibility that a slowly leaking lavatory valve might result in a big chunk of frozen whatsit.

[@John_Ridley]

Adam did a pretty in-depth video on the red bag on Tested a few years ago.

[@hizzy70]

[@bourjeee]

That ice block was way more dence the ice on that fuselage would likely have broken into small peaces during descent

[@patrickhannon4217]

I was about to comment on that, I'm glad I'm not the only one to spot that

[@jackfranks7160]

True, but at cruising altitude, the air speed is higher and the temperature is colder. It's not a perfect test for sure. Still cool/fun.

[@Phished123]

yeah not only was it more dense but the smooth shape of the formed ice like an ice cube would also make it more aerodynamic, which would generate more heat, but make it harder for the wind resistance to break the ice up. Im sure its possible for this to happen in real life, but i bet its highly unlikely.

[@hanzosbm1]

@@jackfranks7160 Yes, but in the wind tunnel, they had to increase temperature to get it fall off, simulating lower altitudes (not sure if they changed airspeed at all). I wish they would've stayed a little more consistent on this one (what temp did the ice fall off? What approximate altitude does that correspond to? What is the density of the ice formed in this way? How would it have reacted?) My gut feeling is that it's still plausible, but I would've liked to have seen it done more accurately.

[@mrjaylesmeister]

Are you trying to say it wouldn't kill you if it landed on your head?

[@jackjones298]

Bourne's magazine lit up immediately because it was soaked in his badassery.

[@boberschivyk]

Also in America the toasters work on half the power than europe

[@Laerei]

Great episode, though I do have to point out that Jamie's disappointment in explosion not blowing out windows is unwarranted because the windows were stronger than the plywood walls. If it was a proper european building made of stone, the windows would have blown out. In my lifetime there has been about five gas explosions in the city that I live and each time the explosion blew out the windows of the house or apartment where it occured.

[@TVD1984]

Absolutely, and usually half the house is destroyed too with significant collateral damage to the rest of the block.

[@Laerei]

@@TVD1984 Uhm, hasn't happened like that here yet, only the windows have suffered.

[@GreyThantos]

not to mention the windows were installed on the wrong side of the wall. They're mounted to the exterior of the wall not the interior

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

I really miss this show. I'm happy that there's full episodes uploaded in KZbin.

[@robertkilpela9248]

The 12 minute magazine may have worked (not to the movie).... With 12 minutes for the gas to soak the apartment before the fire started...?🤔

[@The21Quest]

They said it took 4 minutes to get the reaction they got. 12 would have DEFINITELY worked.

[@mediocreman2]

Yep they really missed the mark on this one.

[@bchearne]

The gas line in the movie was also a bigger diameter than what they used, possibly with a different pressure. Natural gas is lower pressure than propane systems I’m pretty sure. Still, I thought the effect they got was interesting

[@1utube01]

They also didn't test a variety of toasters. Toasters get hot at different speeds. I also would have soaked the Bourne mag in some fuel, just for fun, to see how that would have sped up the flameination.

[@deadmanwalkin07]

Also, that part of the movie was in Europe, they use 240V electricity in their outlets

[@adamradford8053]

Aww, Adam, I'll listen to how much you love the Bourne movies

[@13BravoM109]

I really miss the show. I wish they would have tested propane as well. One of my colleagues was killed a few months ago when his wife's father's house EXPLODED due to leaking propane. It was not a "woosh" at all, but such a large explosion, there was nothing left but the foundation of the house. Killed three people in the house - one survivor.

you can tell that tory and carrie like eachother by her pregnancy

[@SuperUltimateLP]

​@@alecnolastname4362 he was about to kiss her after her landing 😂 I mean, good for him, but it kinda seems like a open secret, noone is willing to acknowledge it 🤔

[@k8g8s8]

​​​​​​@@alecnolastname4362It was another man not Tory that got her pregnant. She's married, she has a life outside her job. You can tell they have chemistry but it doesn't have to be sexual. It feels a little creepy the way you refer to her pregnancy like that but.. That's just my opinion. Just cause you see two attractive people and want them to be together doesn't mean that they are, what you're doing is shipping. That's fine to do with fictional characters but these are real people.

[@sebastiank1714]

I think the log burned a large amount of oxygen in the room. A little candle as a long burning ignition source would have left more oxidizer for the gas to combust.

[@lusoverse8710]

Yeah. A gas explosion will demolish a brick building if the conditions are right, but this was myth-busting and I think it was truly busted.

[@mediocreman2]

Right. Or they could have used the long burn magazine and/or timed it with how long it took to get to right ratio. But they had a massive hole in the ceiling for the fans so this was a bad test.

[@stevenbryant4718]

or just leave the door open

[@jimstewart3283]

The first thing I noticed in your blue ice experiment is that the ice forming on the plane scenario the ice forms in crystals with crevices and spaces. Your ice was one solid smooth sided block which I think would not melt in the same time as the real one.

[@bram5825]

Would have been nice to take a block created under windy conditions. And then let it go in the type of room skydivers use for training. Turning up the temperature. Calculate the time it takes to fall.

[@finaldarkfire]

What's funny about the Bourne result, specifically the more continuous open flame, is that it implies a version of the scene where instead of the apartment exploding before the bad guys even get inside, it's after a couple minutes of them investigating the apartment when it suddenly bursts into flames with them INSIDE. Kinda feel like that would have been MORE dramatic XD

[@Amadeus_Eisenberg]

Would have been cool had they made the scene in the movie like that instead.

[@Flyingtofu001]

In era of Boeing xD the toilet leak might be more possible

[@rickcs7050]

​@@pilsplease7561 I don't know if you've noticed, but between Airbus and Boeing, only the latter is making headlines for making single-point-of-failure control systems that nosedive their passenger jets into the ground, forgetting to install the correct number of bolts, and liquidating whistleblowers.

[@ruben_balea]

@@pilsplease7561 Airbus isn't Soviet, it's a multinatinal EU company, they had a research center in Russia but they don't work there anymore and like Boeing they no longer sell spare parts to Russia, that's why a lot of planes were falling all over Russia after months without proper mainteinance. And all those "Russian" Beoing and Airbus planes were stolen from companies from other countries, all planes that were in Russian territory when the sanctions were imposed were stolen by the state and given to their own airlines that never owned a Boeing or Airbus before, they were renting them at most. And all the Boeing failures where due to Donald Trump (best friend of Putin outside Russia) who allowed Boeing and other American manufacturers to bypass (give the middle finget to) the FAA and certify their own (poor) work and the (low) quality of the products they were making. The situation was so bad for the American market that it was one of the first things that Biden had to revert.

There was a reported incident of blue ice impacting and damaging a roof in Chino, CA, in 2006. I guess that means in the days long after the Cold War's end, people still have to worry about impacts from icy BMs.

[@user-yi1qi9dm8l]

Thanks for full episodes of my childhood!

[@Dtr146]

There is a slight issue I have with a testing methodology for the explosion myth. I have personally witnessed a house explode from a leaking gas pipe. The gas pipe was leaking for around 25-30 minutes. And all it took was one spark in the whole house was reduced to rubble and it was made of cinder block and brick. Pieces of it hit my mom's place. I heard it from my apartment. It shook the ground

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

that wasnt the myth though? they know it will explode/burn *eventually* since it does happen IRL alot. the myth was that you could have it happen as quickly and in the same fashion as in the movie, which you cant. you get the explosion from the spontaneous ignition of all the natural gas at the same time, where as the movies slow leak doesnt give enough time for the gas to reach a proper mixture ratio and causes it to act as a fire accelerant instead of a explosive ignition.

[@theoriginalemim]

​@@derpmanaveragegamer7791a movie isn't going to show 12 min of a magazine smoldering before an explosion though. That should've been taken into account instead of trying to follow the exact movie timeline.

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

​@@theoriginalemim then that isnt a myth at that point, thats just asking "can a house blow up from a gas leak" the whole point of the show and the myths is asking "can it happen as shown in the piece of media it originates from"

[@Dtr146]

[@TechGorilla1987]

There is a trend of YT posted television shows having extremely poor audio quality. My theory is that the creator of the videos is not mixing down a surround signal to 2 channel stereo. Often, the announcers voice (which I theorize should be in the center channel) gets lost in the mixdown and is often very quiet or non-existent. I'm just spitballing here.

Turn on forced mono, but yeah I doubt they do it manually it's automated and the center channel idea of the poster befor makes sense, they got the license and they don't want to put much money in as people will still klick.
