Can confirm the blacksmith's story, I had a small chunk of a hammerhead break-off after striking it with another while working in a pallet factory, the chunk cut through my shirt and cut my abdomen quite badly. I wouldn't call it an "explosion" but it definitely flew off fast enough to do some serious damage.

I bet liquid nitrogen (ergo super cooling the metal) would've made for an explosion. Temperature is the only variable they didn't consider! Metal is more brittle when it's cold...

I feel like the "explosion" aspect of the myth might be one of those things where the layman would call it an explosion when the physics behind it might not technically qualify it as such. If you hit it and a few shards/chunks flew off and the hammer head cracked, either due to materials or build quality, then I feel a good chunk of people would call say it "exploded" because it paints the better picture of what happened. That and the thing that goes with all of Mythbusters' stuff of sample size, either due to production costs/time or just editing I'm curious how many tests they actually did during filming.

I get wanting to avoid rabid fan backlash, but calling Plausible on the bore sighter barrel split is a bit dubious to me. We've seen all over Mythbusters that if a small piece of a compressed chamber fails, it can entirely defuse the rest of it as the compressed gas escapes out of the split. In order to have that 100% banana split, it would need to be such a huge amount of pressure that it would probably have to explode the rest of the gun too. Much more likely that a split like shown could have a 90-degree bend or something at the end of the barrel and the rest stays intact. The originals are definitely still faked.

@@grejsancoprative Sure thing. "Seeming likely to be true or believable." In this instance, the question isn't "Can part of the barrel fail if blocked?", it's "Is it plausible that a blocked barrel will cause the entire thing to split into multiple parts like a banana?" No, this is not plausible, because the most extreme result they got was a single piece splitting in a way that allowed the pressure to escape. There is no reason to believe that there's enough catastrophic pressure from a single shot to split any more than that. And besides, the pictures they were shown looked like clean metal was exposed between the strips, completely unlike experimental data.

I think part of the issue is the next step would be to test really poorly maintained guns and that insurance just wouldn't let them test those conditions. Barrel splits definitely do happen and your not wrong with a properly maintained gun it would be a ton of force; people can be really dumb with what they will try to shoot though, myself as a kid included i tried to shoot an antique shotgun and the barrel couldn't hold up. I think the original pic from the myth is fake unless someone happened to clean it up; other pics i have seen of split barrels that looked right not as sure.

Regarding the hammer exploding - they tested solid hit once or twice. While the old, used hammers were already pushed to the extreme point, one or two hits would not likely shatter them. They should have built a machine that repeatedly swings a hammer against the anvil and set for example 100 hits. They would increase the chances of seeing actual hammer explosion.

The hammer myth makes no sense to me. A hammer is EXPLICITLY made to transfer energy into (usually) hard objects. Newton's third law states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction, so the hammer MUST be able to handle the amount of force it's putting into the object is hitting. To say that two of them hitting each other would somehow cause them to explode makes no sense. The only way it could work is if the hammer was in a state of disrepair so great that it could no longer be used for it's intended purpose. It's like being afraid that two fencers in a duel could cause an explosion if their swords hit each other too hard- one, it won't happen because swords are designed to not do that, they will dull and dent long before that would happen, and two, if it did happen, that's an issue with the state of the swords, and in that state they wouldn't be using them in the first place.
@irishninja98578 күн бұрын
Couple reasons it matters. One no one ever swings a hammer once and gets the job done, and tradesmen tend to get into different rhythms. These rythyms cause the metal to vibrate at different frequencies. The repeated striking and vibrating also creates heat. These all stress the metal in unpredictable ways. There are other variables that they didn't account for as well. They based their power on the average person's ability to strike with a hammer. Well the people that these "myths" originated with are not average hammer users. They are tradesmen and their ability to hit with a hammer might seem very super human to normal people. There is no replacement for muscle memory and proper technique to generate power. They also hardened the entire hammer instead of just hardeing the face of the striking head. It snapped right where it was pressed against a sharp edge.

I know that nobody related to Mythbusters is probably watching this channel’s comments (or the channel would certainly be taken down by now) but the most damning thing about the trombone mute myth is that the trombones don’t use a mute during the 1812 Overture. Beyond that, there is so much air space around the mute and the bell of the trombone (to allow the sounds/air to come out of the instrument) that there is no way an explosion would send the entire mute flying forward with any real speed.
