Can A Penny Dropped From A Building Kill Someone? | MythBusters | Season 1 Episode 4 | Full Episode

[@MrDamonHamilton]

After shooting the penny at his backside, did anybody notice the t-shirt he wore saying Stunt Butt 😂

[@b00rak]

Thanks for putting those episodes here.

[@michaelmayhem350]

You're welcome

[@Rando_Shyte]

I love how little they hide their distain for each other in the early seasons lol

[@Rando_Shyte]

Finally we get season 1 in HD. What a time to be alive!

[@mrmilkmee4619]

Ahh og episode thanks again for putting all these episodes on KZbin!

[@benstevens44]

Man, poodle in microwave was disappointing... yeah, I'm glad they didn't actually put a dog in a microwave, but in later seasons I'm sure they would have figured out some kind of mad science solution with a pig carcass or something that would have given a conclusion more concrete than "let's leave it a myth."

[@DDT-For-Human]

i think either this or the parachut breakpoint episode is the first i learn about terminal velocity as a kid

[@rage9715]

That's great - that other ep was great showing you can't even talk while free falling.

[@wombatgirl997]

The tanning bed myth is funny to me because excessive tanning is definitely bad for you, but not in the way the myth is saying.

[@Rando_Shyte]

6:36 Oopsie! 😂

[@SmugMrSmitty]

*whoops, were you not watching/listening??

[@fabiocoelho4873]

Oh my god nothing changed from day 1: Adam being goofy and trying all the cool dangerous stuff, Jamie being precise, careful and a bit sadistic with Adam’s recklessness, AND BUSTER getting violently abused

[@SmugMrSmitty]

18:44 that is not a step, nor a seat on that ladder. OSHA does not approve!😅

[@veronicamckenzie3711]

After jaw surgery I went to the cinema and the affected area would pulse with the load speakers. It was very painful. I would not be surprised if the lady hearing music through her teeth was true. Our teeth can conduct sound to the mind in the estranged way an ear does.

[@scbtripwire]

7:36 16/500ths of a second. Could have just said 32 milliseconds.

[@DrBarbequeSauce]

4/125ths of a second

[@Rando_Shyte]

Americans will jump through a million hoops to avoid using the metric system lol. Fractions are retarded

[@Fakovnik]

US show, imperial weirdos measurement

[@wombatgirl997]

My guess is that the high speed camera was taking 500 frames per second, and it took 16 frames, so they just went with it.

Mythbusters first season: Microwaving a spoon Mythbusters last season: Firing an ICBM

[@thesciencefurry]

I think this episode inspired me to try all sorts of stuff with a microwave. At one point I bought myself one just for that xD but at the end the stuff you can do is somewhat limited.

[@wombatgirl997]

Nilered did make plasma in a microwave, and another channel messed around with cutting a hole in one and sticking stuff in there. Overall though they are surprisingly disappointing considering how much hype they have.

[@le.leanjos]

The world really missed a crossover between MythBusters and Jackass

[@Cukito4]

That woman folklorist sure stopped appearing in the show!

[@kishascape]

glad she did. she was just absolutely terrible

[@wombatgirl997]

Adam talked about that on his web show "Tested". She was great to work with, but the show very quickly moved beyond the kind of traditional folklore stuff where her expertise would be useful. You can't exactly tell the folklore history of a random internet video or fan submitted "what if" scenario.

[@larimatolaganon4946]

Well, it can if you increase gravity around it. Husband did that in a Mage: the assentation campaign.

[@Matt_bhg]

nice.

[@veronicamckenzie3711]

they put a fork in the microwave and it did not do anything. But i swear every time i forget and put a fork in the microwave it arcs. Sparks and popping/banging sounds and everything. It happens most with soup, so maybe the liquid is a factor?

[@WowIndescribable]

Used an alloy penny but not a copper one...would there have been much of a difference?

[@johnnynephrite6147]

A penny's terminal velocity is around 25-70 mph, depending on how it tumbles. It would have to reach 400mph in order to penetrate your skull.

[@trollmcclure1884]

I doubt the speed of the shot penny was even supersonic. Shotgun penny slugs are very deadly in tests and they go at Mach 1. No way it was Mach 3 without even going through the whole barrel. The next issue is that you can toss it rotating with the edge slicing the air which would increase the terminal velocity.

[@kristhemanc87]

No, it cannot.

[@samjones1954]

my friend was a security guard in the First Canadian Place in Toronto. This building is 55 stories. We dropped a screw driver from the roof very very late in the night. When we went down to see. We found it buried up to its handle in the cement sidewalk.

A razorblade and a pencil... how are those "two metals"? A pencil core contains graphite (and different amounts of clay to vary the softness), there is no metal in there.

[@michaelmayhem350]

You should look at a periodic table sometime. Carbon is a metal and it's what graphite is composed of. It's very weakly magnetic but your pencil lead usually sticks to a magnetic because of impurities in the metal and not the graphite itself

[@peacedustinc.7108]

​@@michaelmayhem350 Carbon is solidly a nonmetal by practically any metric and after testing a fair number of pencils none of them are magnetic enough to react to a decently strong magnet.

[@gordonbrinkmann]

@michaelmayhem350 Just looking at the periodic table might not be enough, try to research a little further for yourself. Carbon is the first element in the Carbon group, through which runs the dividing line between nonmetals and metals. Carbon is a nonmetal, Silicon and Germanium are metalloids and the rest are metals. Graphite itself is an electrical conductor, no need for metallic impurities. Anyway that wasn't the point, I did not doubt its conductivity, I just said it's not a metal... even if you believe otherwise.

[@fireandcopper]

​@@michaelmayhem350carbon is most certainly not an element

[@Sanatanbihari108]

Plzzz add hindi audio track for Indian audiance.👍

A penny :))) - low mass + air resistance .
