In the silencer myth, I would have suggested using a suppressor along with a subsonic round. They would have gotten a lot closer to the movie sound!

[@Foxtrott_4]

Never it sounds like a laser gun, a suppressor just doesn't sound like this. What they should have shown is how loud a rifle in 223 or 308 is with a suppressor to show how wrong hollywood is on that

[@SoloPhoenix]

It sounds like they used subsonic rounds. .45ACP is pretty universally subsonic regardless of load, and the 9mm didn't have a supersonic crack.

[@AnonymerVIP]

34:45 128 dB is still incredible loud.

[@Dabeyoun]

Yeah, James saying "it's Hollywood levels" is BS. You watch movies and NOBODY can hear a suppressed gun, we get stuff like that scene from John Wick of both guys shooting each other in a crowd and nobody even noticing.

[@apawhite]

@@Dabeyoun It works in John Wick because the assassins in that are fae folk, and the Good Neighbours only intersect with the mortal plane when they choose to, but otherwise yeah absolutely; and here they called the actual make-up of the sound effect 'nit-picking' for simplicity's sake, instead going with "do silencers actually reduce sound???" which is trivial in comparison.

[@ultru3525]

only 1000x quieter than the average gunshot sound level of 158 dB 🙄 128 dB is in the same ballpark as a heavy-duty nail gun or riveter, sure it ain't quiet, but it ain't out-of-the-ordinary like an unsilenced gunshot should would be

[@airi9673]

@@ultru3525 yea 128 dB is only 2 dB lower than a jet engine, there's no way anyone would notice such a low level of sound, especially when the sound is somewhat similar to what they've seen in movies. there's a reason they're called suppressors and not silencers in the real world.

[@ultru3525]

@@airi9673 that’d be a valid comparison if jet engines made noise for only a second. Obviously if a suppressor made it so a gunshot can be heard for several minutes like a jet engine, it’d be less stealthy than a short, 158 dB, unsuppressed shot

[@Sethioz]

blowing your own sail works, but you have to jump and blow. imagine if you can blow hard enough to move yourself entire boat length, you put sail in front, go right next to sail, jump and blow, then you fly towards back of the boat and land on the rear end, then repeat. in theory it works, but in practice no human can blow strong enough, but concept works 100%. i've thought about similar concept for ION thursters in space, i have an idea to have near infinite fuel by using similar method, but instead of blowing air (as there's no air in space), you capture IONs and re-use them. it's all about re-placing the movement and re-using the energy. it's same principle as swinging on a swing, you don't need any external energy to start moving, it's about moment and how you apply it.

[@AndrewNiccol]

The silencer myth should be Busted, the movie and real silencer sound differently.

[@germanomagnone]

13:38 and basically what you do with the dinosaur sounds in JP Saga, the t-rex was a cry of a baby elephant with the growl of a tiger and an alligator. and for the velociraptor it was a "sneeze" of a walrus with a "squeal" of a dolphin!

[@vksasdgaming9472]

At least with dinosaurs or fictional animals there really is no clear reference point to how they should sound so drama can drive. Interestingly this can lead to some unsettling sounds as Godzilla's famous yell is eerily high-pitched to creature of that size.

[@Diablos_Black]

Scotty: ye cannae change the laws of physics. Mythbusters: Watch this.

[@CyclesAreSingularities]

the sail kind reminds me of an airliner which has the ability to redirect it's jets thrust backwards using some holes it can open up.

[@cbfrider]

In the movies people in the same room can barely make out the sound of a suppressed gun... but 120-something dB is something you still hear in the next building. And the next one. And... That's as loud as a rock concert - sorry, but that's busted.

[@chriswatson6231]

I think the sail forward motion is exactly the same as clam shell thrust reversers as used on say an early Boeing 323

[@Cheynanigans__]

NOT THE MIATA Edit: TWO OF THEM?! 😭

[@SyntheticFuture]

Yeah in hind sight their car choices where pretty bad :|

[@mementomori5580]

My Theory why "Blowing your own sail" works is that the fan is not only moving the air that is going directly through it, but is also gonna cause the surrounding air to move in that direction. So you actually have a bigger "Air cone" than just that of the fan alone. That extra bit of air that is being moved in the surrounding is what causes the net forces to be in the direction you're blowing, because that extra bit of air is not connected to the ship and thus doesn't cause the push in the opposite direction. Which means that your sail has to be bigger than the fan you use to "blow your own sail" for it to work.

[@Mixi_Hazbin]

This was one of my all-time favourites.

[@PlittHD]

This is definitely one of the most of all times

[@borntoclimb7116]

Same here

[@JohanStendal]

35:15 deadmau5 really has come a long way since his days as a gunshot sound engineer

[@niluss6]

Fan sort of cycles air from mid to rear. So if it is not the sail reflecting air backwards that pushes it, then it must be the air cycling somehow sticking to surrounding air which pushes it forward. I'm thinking similar concept to bladeless fans.

[@alanwlodarski820]

Should have got Tory to do the punching 😂

[@MR-qz3ud]

8:38 on the right. Is that an airplane? Looks more like an airship to me... 🤔

[@Tennouseijin]

There's also the fact that for deafening sounds like gunshots and explosions, normal headphones/speakers would not be able to play those sounds 100% realistically, because they're not powerful enough to generate a sound that loud, and we don't want people to suffer hearing loss from listening to a movie (or you'd have to wear hearing protection while watching :P ), so they have to be toned down. Not to mention, the medium used for storing the audio (be it physical such as a vinyl record, or digital file formats such as mp4) have their limits too.

[@leeasy7112]

Wind compressed thru the fan and blown onto the sail(internal force), sail push back the wind to its origin(internal counter force), however, we are not in a vacuum, the air surrounding the boat would also give the pushed-back wind a counter force (external force), thus the boat is being pushed forward, and we’re not breaking any Newton’s law.

[@airi9673]

additionally they're also forgetting the most important part of how sails work and that is by using the vacuum in front of the sail for forward movement, essentially the wind going past would only help in creating a vacuum in front of the sail. their research team could have found this out in less than 2 minutes even at the time this was aired

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

​​​@@airi9673But if the thrust is coming from the fan attached to the vessel, not a weather system that surrounds the entire vessel, is that pressure differential acting in the same way?... I'm not so sure it would. I'm not sure it wouldn't either, but I would have thought it wouldn't produce that same low pressure zone in front of the sail. Surely someone on KZbin has gone more in depth with that aspect of it by now. It's a good point you raise there though and surprising that they missed talking it into account. Either way, I think by the time you're producing enough thrust to push the sail forward, surely you're better off to turn the thrust around and use it to propel the vessel forward, like that air boat does anyway. But we already knew that and it's obviously not in the spirit of the question.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

​@@airi9673Actually, the more I think about it, the more I tend to agree... The air is fluid, so to speak, and increasing the air pressure against the sail would surely cause the sail to move towards the lower pressure on the opposite side. Still, I'm intrigued to find a better experiment with a better explanation of that now.

[@Netbug]

It's just the venturi effect as far as I can tell. The same thing that makes a shop air nozzle move more air than you're inputting via the compressor.

[@DarkInos]

That last explosion... I would say it sounded like if you combined the 2 of theirs together and prolonged it with burning for a moment, it would get to movie one.

[@danwarrjack]

30:48 they knew what they were doing

[@Panushkin]

All they needed to do is make a duct behind the fan so it draws air from the same way its blowing

[@Viirrvill]

i am curious though: what IS the movie explosion made out of? like, on the punch they explained it but then dropped that off for the rest.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

It might be anything from real explosion to someone mimicking explosion sounds and tampering with sound. Explosion is very fast and loud sound.

[@SyntheticFuture]

37:00 yes. But no. Because you can't fire a supressed gun in a crowd without anyone noticing. Looking at you John Wick... looking at you...

[@LaraCroftCP]

To the surpressor myth: you need to really surpress a gunshot below sound speed ammunition. If the cartrige is so strong to send the bullet supersonic you get even with a surpressor a supersonic bang.

[@maltesefalcon85]

should have used adam for the boat myth his motormouth would have put them in orbit 😂 i find it hilarious that tori was the one hyping up the danger to grant and kari but he was the one that nearly got chopped by the sail

[@jordanoneill82]

i think with a well thrown punch you'd get a better sound, a fast punch with a solid contact patch makes one hell of a good noise

[@Sethioz]

why were they surprised that a SILENCER does it's job? it's called silencer for a reason. also they forgot to mention other benefits: accuracy and muzzle velocity and range. since it makes the barrel longer, bullets will fly faster and this gives better accuracy and range. i might be wrong, but somewhere i remember seeing that average silencers increases muzzle velocity by about 30% i hate how they imagine silencers in games tho, why do game devs think that silencer does opposite of what it does in real? in games silencers always reduces range, muzzle velocity and accuracy, this is so dumb!

reason why movie punches are not realistic, is cuz real punches sound like slaps, honestly this is one of those very few things i like in movies, usually i hate all this fake stuff, but some movies have really good punch sounds. i don't like those comical ones, but ones that are bit beefier are good. imagine watching a movie where someone gets punched or kicked and you hear slap sound, i think it would be funny actually.

[@basgoogle5801]

Jamie punching shit looks so badass

[@motelghost477]

You'd actually have more thrust without the sail and just using the trust of the fan, rather than the net thrust of the sail minus the opposing thrust of the fan.

[@Goalsplus]

I thought everyone knew they were sound effects not the real thing. And microphones and speakers can alter the real sound a person would hear so some manipulation is needed at times.

[@Netbug]

A Prime Minister defending himself and his country, meanwhile every hospital and mosque and church has been destroyed.

And that again -people take this nonsense serious What a difficult world we live in

[@jannis11]

[@sagrud]

A question that nags on my mind the whole episode - why should i blow into the sail, losing propulsion when i can blow into the other direction, getting the full power?

[@jakemacmenamin9306]

I have to assume the added air resistance from having a sail down would result in more of a slowdown than it being pushed would create

[@JamesBiggar]

@@jakemacmenamin9306 Sails increase air resistance just like the frontal area of any vehicle. Even the mast contributes. Lowering a sail decreases frontal area and air resistance. Sails overcome the resistance if the wind is strong enough. Thrust, be it from a reversed jet engine blowing into the sail or turned around and mounted in a rocket, has to overcome the drag from the total frontal area for propulsion to happen regardless of vehicle type. Fuel efficiency tells all. The rebound thrust off the sail will always be weaker than the direct thrust provided if the jet engine is turned around, and more fuel will be consumed in order to do the same work comparatively. This is why you'll never see this method put into practice. Jet boats and jet planes are designed without sails and with their engines exhausting opposite of the direction of travel for these fundamental reasons.

[@swedichboy1000]

25:48 Is that episode available?

[@icekamikazi8688]

use a backpack leaf blower on the sail ... bend it back so it is sucking from the same direction it is blowing into the sail.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Entry of air is not where the force is applied. Force is applied to place that propels the air forward so bending the intake does nothing.

[@icekamikazi8688]

@vksasdgaming9472 ty I will take your word for it as I am not that highly educated... but I must ask ... your explanation is bending the intake ... where it is the exhaust that is bent ... much like the reverse thrusters on jets that push the air forward of the jet .... or reverse the airflow ... so if your intake is sitting beside the sail so it does not affect the sails air .... then the nozzle of the leaf blower is bent around 180 degrees to blow into the sail ..... your leaf blower intake would have a pulling force in the same direction the sail is pushing .... I know science is confusing, but logic seems to imply different.... I would love to see an actual test ... in the meantime, I digress.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

@@icekamikazi8688 I know Mythbusters managed to make their model move with fan slapped into it, but if you have a fan (or propeller) strong enough to plausibly move boat it is more energy efficient to just skip the sail and use it as direct mover.

[@icekamikazi8688]

@vksasdgaming9472 a back pack blower is not a fan or a propeller... it is a jet .... it essentially removes the fan or propeller from the equation and places it in its own self contained unit ... the exhaust and intake are both facing in the same direction... I thought of the same answer when mythbusters did thier show.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

@@icekamikazi8688 If it has compression it has a fan inside. Still might be more efficient to just try using it as jet engine instead of using it to generate wind to move sails.

You can really tell this is one of the last 2 seasons of Mythbusters by how "sanitised" and "made-for-television" it is. Not quite sure how to describe it but everything feels a whole lot more scripted and less natural compared to prior seasons. Something just seems different in the final 2 seasons

[@AeonLibertas]

It isn't, tho. This is episode #165 and is from 2011 (or, as put here, season 8). The OG-Mythbusters, with Adam and Jamie, went till 2016 and finished with episode #245 (usually counted as season 14). So this episode is about a tad over halfway point. Which you can also tell by the build team being still around (and even they were up until 2014). (note - I'm not counting the last season of the Mythbusters' brand, which had new guys. Can't replace Jamie and the glorious mustache, it's just not the same)

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Specifically built silent Sten with subsonic ammunition was so quiet that biggest identifiable element was mechanism smashing around. That model of Sten was not designed for such ammunition. It was designed to use regular 9x19mm ammunition and vent gases so it would not exit barrel in supersonic speed.

poor miatas

[@xXturbo86Xx]

There is no physics contradiction. This entire experiment was pointless and silly. It's basic stuff. The high pressure that exists at the rear of the prop or jet has higher thrust (or pushing force) so it's only natural that it could blow the sale. I can't believe they even wasted their time on this.

[@PaulOllech]

You might want to check which direction the jet engine is facing.

[@gbulmer]

@xXturbo86Xx In spite of your claim, it's unclear you understood what you've watched. When the jet was pointed at the sail, the exhaust side was pointed forward so if the sail were removed the skateboard would go backwards. Similarly, they turned the swamp-boat fan around, so if the sail were removed it'd go backwards. Your "explanation" doesn't explain what happened. Either you don't understand, or can't express it. Maybe try again? Best Wishes. ☮
