I expected Jamie to simply drive under the speed limit at the end to "beat" the cameras

[@Nakakapagpabagabag1]

still sad that this show did not win an emmy. This show was entertaining and educational at the same time.

[@tt128556]

Wasn't woke enough, only one cast member of non-Caucasian origin.

[@Vodkarn]

@@tt128556 Lol, yeah losing to Intervention in a season that is almost entirely white people sure was 'woke' hahahaha, do they just put propaganda directly into your brain or do you have to go get it yourself?

[@UntrackedEndorphins]

To those who want to know how this channel is reuploading the show without getting axed, as it turns out the uploader holds the rights over Mythbusters (and many other famous shows). They also have uploaded other episodes in another channel called Banijay Science

[@matty_isthemotto]

Funny that

[@Panzerkriegen]

If this is True, They should just make One Channel for all of these, they'd make more ad revenue and if they added shorts, playlist, etc they can grow Exponentially Sub and Like-wise. Owner if you see this I have some Ideas.

[@loganmyall660]

This only really answers the Why, not the more important How. Because they clearly don't have the exclusive rights - some of these episodes are on Discovery+ and such.

[@UntrackedEndorphins]

@@loganmyall660 they can license the episodes to discovery

[@DragonbIaze052]

@@loganmyall660 They own the distribution rights in a country other than America. It's like how Funimation has distribution rights for anime in America, even though the anime is ultimately owned by a different company in Japan.

How much it cost back in the day? I really curious :)

[@cejannuzi]

The license cams are not infallible if you live in an area where they have to deal with a lot of different states' plates, including themed commemorative ones.

[@Luzarioth]

When it comes to the speed, you can guestimate the speed you would need, Let's say: The distance between the camera and the point where it measures speed is 100 meters. The camera reaction time is 0.5 seconds (this is a rough estimate). The speed limit is 60 km/h (which is 16.67 m/s). Maximum Speed = 100 meters / (0.5 seconds + 0.5 seconds) = 100 meters / 1 second = 100 m/s To convert this to kilometers per hour: Maximum Speed = 100 m/s * (3600 seconds/hour) / 1000 meters/kilometer = 360 km/h 360 km/h * 0.621371 mph/km/h ≈ 223.7 mph And that is with 1 second total delay, which sounds waaaaaay to much, so in reality the speed needed would be even higher.

[@SergeantRen2048]

To simplify: you need to break the sound barrier and go over Mach 1

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Pretty much getting hit by the radar but being outside the view of the camera when it snaps. But the speed of sound is roughly 343 m/s or 1234 km/h or 767 mph. So just a bit over 3 times the speed of the 0.5 second example.

[@Paragon643]

iirc they managed to beat it in a later episode with a jet powered drag car

[@gandalforb6461]

Fun fact : a defibrilator is actually build to stop your heart (litterally turning your buggy heart off so it can turn back on right) so it makes sense that the makeshift one would be deadly

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

yup, stop it so that it can properly trigger a pulse. Defibs don't work if the heart is stopped, but are used to stop chaotic contractions.

[@Huvada]

I've built a lot of sketchy electronics... But Grant takes the cake with that defib unit.

[@jocax188723]

I think the only way to beat it through speed is to go above the set range for the radar. Obviously, they can't have it dialled too high, or stuff like low flying aircraft could trip the camera. The threshold being 'anything high enough to reasonably not be a speeding car' depends heavily on the programmer, and any change to that is a simple fix.

[@lukasprochazkaprod]

18:58 -- Even though using flash camera probably picked up enough ligh from worskop that it lid the plate evenly. In dark it migh be different case becasue the only ligh source would be flash coming from camera.

[@axe4770]

Speed camera designed to take pictures of a car speeding at well above 250mph. If anything could beat it only those hypercar that can clock in at over 300+mph might possibly be able to beat it, but the chances are still like 0.05%

[@theminimancjb36]

25:02 "just remember go to the light" that did not age well RIP Grant imahara

[@pyro_02]

To beat the speed camera you have to go above 225mph,so it’s plausible cause you need to have a really fast car and a very long road,modern cars can easily reach speeds above that

[@Mikael404]

Only sport cars go over 225mph (362kph) normal consumer one are often regulated around 200-250kph (124-155mph) so you kinda have to modify that car heavily to get that speed.

[@MeggieMags]

I always thought they needed to test mud on the licence plate

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Uk speed cameras used to be rated at 171mph, when they boyght out the new cameras they addmitted too the exact 171mph. The new ones we know do way more so unless youre going mach 2 you have no chance but someone did try doing over 200 in england 😂

[@tommyfekadu8823]

Plugging this into a radar sensor of some sort would automate it

[@ThisZombieBitesEverything]

If you use a mirror on the back, all around the plate, that will work

[@loganmyall660]

No idea how you got the rights or how this got cleared, because discovery+ didn't even have all of these in my country. I'll be shocked if these don't reach 100k views.

[@FlorinCrisan21]

Banijay took full control and a spokeswoman said the intention is that “[Beyond's] distribution activities will fall under Banijay Rights' name.” The acquisition was carried out via a Scheme Implementation Deed which, once implemented, means Beyond ceases to be publicly traded

[@Glen_lastname]

Yay just drive fast enough that the red light blue shifts to green

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Speed cameras take a picture of your license plate, to give you a ticket. Or you can just say that, you were selling your car to someone. That took it out for a test drive, while they left THERE car at your place.

[@Toxic_Waste92]

See I doubt they would be allowed to say what allows you to defeat a speed camera. But idk lol

That speed cam test was hilarious. 140 mph in a Aventador. They could have used a Golf an gotten the same result 😂👍🏼

Thats not a aventador. Its a murcielago. So its slower

a german show tested the same myth and made it. they went 250kmh+ so 155mph or more and the camera could not read the speed

The whole "For some reason." thing when the second test had the same speed as the first was sarcastic. The car is equipped with a small computer that stops it from going over whatever speed is programmed in, which is 100mph in this case.

[@clumsygarage1578]

I mean yeah, but it’s almost impossible to rent out the miles of highway you would need to go much faster.

German here, i drove my vw golf faster than they drove this lambo. Even if this episode is very old, i think its a little weak representation of what speed a normal car can drive.
