[@FPSNecromancerBob]

We need a combined Adam Savage, Colin Furz and Objectivity collaboration to make the tricycle 😂

[@jama211]

That would be incredible

[@Marlosian]

Please don't ruin a good Keith video with Colin "Is it loud yet?" Furze.

[@robertbrown2706]

A Furze vs Savage build-off would be spectacular.

[@CookingWithCows]

The Trifecticle or Trinitike

[@LucasCarter2]

I’m so glad we live in a timeline where Adam moved to making more content on KZbin. I just finished the last two seasons of myth busters for the first time and felt very sad to lose the creative energy until I remember there’s plenty of stuff for me to watch with him in it alongside other great people like in this video.

[@zaco-km3su]

Jamie Hyneman has chosen to stay away from the screen. He has been making R&D for many people and has been teaching recently.

[@IcyMidnight]

Thanks to Keith's sharp insight, we finally know that Adam Savage is into makin' stuff 😆

[@TheStockwell]

I know! That blew my mind. Here's some more you-wont-believe-it information: Tom Cruise does his own stunts! 😳

[@iteerrex8166]

Nooo, I want it before 2025.

[@3arendel]

I love that Adam is guesting the channel again! Been a fan of his work for a long time and you guys have great chemistry

[@benguengerich9772]

I want the walking cart! It kind of reminded me of Strandbeest.

[@Brendan-ny3vb]

I'm not so sure it would work very well lol

[@Veptis]

The best news is that there will likely be more than one Episode with Adam

[@billd01rfc]

There have already been many, many with Adam

[@MrHeroicDemon]

I love this mix, these are three great minds getting together for a laugh. My heroes.

[@ContraNash]

Brady with the Twin Peaks Shirt!

[@iambiggus]

I can see Adam's wheels turning already... no pun intended.

[@noahprentice751]

Interesting how that second one looks like a down-wind cart, like the one featured in Veritasium's physics betting saga.

[@AndrewWeit]

The world needs more wind powered bathtubs!

[@hunterwyeth]

I would watch a series where Adam builds ancient machines like this!

[@macroversal]

I love these collabs.

[@TheStockwell]

A crossover of two of my favourite KZbin channels? It's like experiencing bacon and pineapple pizza for the first time (peanut butter and chocolate if you're vegan). 😸

[@PaulG.x]

1:50 Forget bending at the knees - THEY HAVE TOES!!!!!!

[@Olhado256]

Excellent chemistry between all three of them!

[@shrimpeye]

Always a pleasure, thanks for everyone involved!

[@Zelmel]

Adam is such a huge nerd. I mean this in the best possible way.

[@DevilishScience]

John Wikins invented the metric system: 'An Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language (1668)'

[@BlackCatBritt]

Ngl, this would've been a FANTASTIC prompt for an episode of Savage Builds.

[@michaelwright2986]

It's interesting that the cart with no wheels gets short shrift here; now that there's the control electronics to make walking machines possible, robodogs are the go for all-terrain movement, and when the walking cart was dreamed up, really good roads were very few.

[@troyplumer8589]

Fantastic!

[@Rubrickety]

Adam: "These designs are all too ridiculous for me. Get Simone over here stat!"

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@billd01rfc]

One of the best colabs so far . . . really hope Adam has a go a building that vehicle . . .

[@holemajora598]

1825 military uniform yeah, I think I have one of those 😂

[@tramsgar]

Two channels in one - efficient!

[@GrantSR]

Veritasium has already covered the wind powered chariot VERY thoroughly.

[@augustdahlkvist3998]

The walking carriage thing would just immediately buckle. There's nothing stopping the back leg from bending forward completely.

[@christianhorner001]

What ever happened to brady's podcast with that weird CGP Gray guy?

[@bigsarge2085]

So cool.

[@DD-qq8sn]

I was worried for a moment that the 1825 military uniform might have caused Adam some consternation if it dated to the Anglo-American War, but my memory had failed me, that was a good ten years earlier, phew.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I can't believe we almost had AT-AT Walkers.

[@theacemagpie6374]

well that's savage builds season 2 sorted

[@John_Ridley]

You can do a walking device with no knees but there must be some way to lift the feet - if not knees then it needs "hips" to rock and lift the whole leg, then the hips need to be on some sort of swivel to keep the "down" leg from trying to swing sideways, then you need some mechanism to keep the legs perpendicular to the ground, etc. Knees are probably simplest.

[@GamingBTL]

There should be a shirt that says “Let H define a horse”

[@horsetuna]

Someone please tell them that the Royal Society was featured briefly in Cats 2019, during the Bustofer Jones number.

[@jo1e-de-v1vre]

"h denotes horse" 😂 Good grief

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

Dang, really hoped Adam'd pick the legged cart, even in small scale!

[@lorawaring883]

Ask him to at least a make a tabletop model of the wind-driven vehicle?

[@turkosicsaba]

Veritasium already had 2 videos in 2021 with wind driven vehicles. Their video codes are yCsgoLc_fzI and jyQwgBAaBag .

[@MikeWood]

Simone Giertz should make the walking cart, :)

[@stamfordly6463]

If my wonky maths is correct then Hudson's tricycle design predates the actual Penny-Farthing bicycle by forty or fifty years. He has all the right ideas for a recognisable peddle-powered vehicle nearly half a century beforehand. I feel that this says something interesting about the nature of invention but I can't think what.

[@marrrtin]

Adam Savage, FRS. What's stopping them?

[@DaveChurchill]

Don't let Colin Furze see these

[@MusicFanatical1]

Don't dismiss knees so quickly... look at Boston Dynamics' robots.

[@devttyUSB0]

Let h define a horse. Beautiful. :)

[@zaco-km3su]

Did Adam try to build any of these?

[@donepearce]

Excellent project. Adam - you are going to have to increase the stroke of that crank; it will never move with that gear ratio. And the seat won't get much use - you'll have to stand on the pedals to shift them.

[@Jbenneballe]

I love how you skipped the part where we convince Adam to build it, and go directly to helping him with the trouble shooting.😆

[@CodeWeaver]

@@Jbenneballe I mean, that's pretty fair -- we know the difficulty of convincing Adam to build it is, like, the lowest possible bar to clear. :D

[@tinyderppotato5410]

I do hope someone makes a keith and gucci gang mash up🤓

[@flamingmuffin666]

3:11 I want to take a second to appreciate how Keith is reading the Long S (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s), a letter shape we don't use anymore. more specifically, he's reading it as if it is perfectly normal to him.

[@MonochromeWench]

Of course it won you gave a timeframe for completion. An open ended project is just never going to get finished.

[@polares8187]

My favourite people in a video
