What Jamie Hyneman Has Been Up To Since Leaving MythBusters

As you probably know, Mythbusters has been off the air for years… but at least you can still watch Adam Savage in the spin-off, Mythbusters Jr. But what about MythBusters' other host, Jamie Hyneman? So smart. So stoic. And lately, so elusive. What's he been up to lately?
Hyneman was quite an intriguing character long before MythBusters came along. He used to run a sailing charter business in the Caribbean. Then he switched careers and started to work as a special-effects artist, lending his creativity to over 800 commercials and several films, including Robocop. Some more fun facts: He received an undergraduate degree in Russian Linguistics. His mind-bending special effects work earned him honorary Doctor of Engineering degrees from Villanova University and Finland's Lappeenranta University of Technology. Regarding the former occasion, he proudly tweeted that
"[I've] never been there or to a white tie ceremony. I think it works for me."
Hyneman was also the first of the two co-hosts to get involved in Mythbusters. After the production company behind the show approached him to host, he came up with an idea. As his official Mythbusters bio reveals,
"He reached out to Adam to join him, feeling that between his experience and Adam's liveliness -- and their straight guy/foil combination -- they would make a good team. It turned out to be a great call."
Savage and Hyneman had known each other for years by that point and even worked on battle robots together.
For thirteen years, they hosted the show and brought science to the masses. They also created a whole lot of explosions along the way.
These days, Hyneman spends more time on personal projects and new inventions. While still filming MythBusters, he collaborated with Villanova University and the US Office of Naval Research on some innovative projects. He made cool sci-fi stuff like blast-resistant armor and robotic camera systems that track athletes at sporting events. Unsurprisingly, he's still obsessed with new technology.
According to Popular Mechanics, his latest invention is a tank to help fight wildfires. It's called The Sentry, and it was built using a non-armored military tank. Hyneman reportedly bought the tank from an Army surplus store. The Sentry can be driven remotely via virtual-reality headset, allowing it to brave raging wildfires. What was his inspiration for The Sentry? Hyneman told Popular Mechanics that it was a robot he built for a 7Up commercial. The robot had tank treads built into it and could be controlled remotely. It could also fire bottles of soda into the air.
Hyneman explained The Sentry to DesignNews like this:
"Let's say a fire makes it into a neighborhood, as happens in some cases. Well normally you'd have to evacuate, but these [robotic vehicles] are made from surplus US military armored personnel carriers that we can repurpose. We could set up a mobile fire brigade and stop the fire."
That's not the only project Hyneman's been working on. According to New Atlas, he helped design a prototype for a pair of electric shoes called Vortrex. The shoes feature wheels that, again, look like tank treads. There's also motors, Bluetooth connectivity, and infrared sensors for obstacle detection. Hyneman wants these shoes to help people walk faster with minimal effort.
The idea for Vortrex grew out of one of Hyneman's old projects, which involved sticking cordless drill motors onto rollerblades. Hyneman created six prototypes before launching an Indiegogo campaign for the seventh sample, but it fell a little short of its goal in 2017.
Beyond that, Hyneman still runs M5 Industries, where most Mythbusters episodes were filmed. He often uses the space as his own personal workshop. And according to DesignNews, he's been known to dip his toes in new bioengineering tech. As he tells it,
"Bioengineering excites me the most right now. Bioengineering is having an, as yet to be fully appreciated, profound effect - the ability to manipulate genes."
If you're hoping for a Savage and Hyneman reunion, we have some bad news for you. In 2016, Savage told Business Insider that he and Hyneman will never work together again... but on the bright side, they're still both obsessed with science… and they still love to blow things up for the greater good.

There's not really a split between them. They're just not friends outside of work. And now that they don't work together on the show, they just don't interact. Jamie is still an executive producer on Mythbusters Jr. If my memory is good, and Adam hosts it. So there was that. Not sure if that show was cancelled or not.

There was actually an interview with, I think Adam, about this. People (and video) usually take the quote that they'll probably never work together again and get the wrong tone. But the complete thing is closer to that they both respect each other's work and acknowledge/admire the other's strengths. But their personalities are so different that they can't really call each other friends. They're the prime example (in my opinion) of 2 people doesn't have to be friends to respect each other and work well together and do great things.

[@JKSSubstandard]

I mean, they have polar opposite personalities. Though, adam would say that the fact that they argue and see things completely differently is what made them perfect for their show. In order for any idea to become final, the person would have to make sure it was ironclad or the other would rip it apart. It meant that only the best solutions made it to camera. Ill also point out, they are still "friends" they just wont work together anymore because they butt heads. Adam said in a recent tested episode, I believe it may have been when grant died, that he still speaks with Jamie once or twice a year

[@sharkuc]

@@JKSSubstandard I think it was an earlier Q&A session during one of his (Adam's) livestreams where he said that. In any case, with the almost daily videos that Tested has been putting out during the quarantine, it's obvious Adam has mellowed out a lot about Jamie in the years since they stopped doing Mythbusters. Where before he'd hardly mention Jamie at all, you'll notice that lately he often starts a story with "this is a tool/technique/material I learned from Jamie" or just tells random anecdotes from when they were working together. Remember also that that "we're not friends, we'll never work together again" quote is from a couple of years ago when they'd just stopped doing MB, so all the stress of oftentimes doing dangers work under harsh deadlines, with camera and production crews following their every move, all that combined with their clashing personalities would've been still fresh on the mind for both of them.

Yet their working relationship was also based on mutual respect, despite the fact that they could bicker on and off camera like an old married couple.

"They even worked on battle robots together [for the show "BattleBots"]" The sentence could either refer to a show, or to the bots themselves, and since it is only accurate/makes sense talking about the bots, that is the assumed (and correct) meaning.

Why do I feel deja vu. Could swear I've watched this exact video a few years ago. Strange

I will never forget their magic trick, making a cement truck disappear.

Jamie and Adam are not friends anymore? Wow! Now I understand why my spider senses was telling me there was tension between them during the show. I always felt that when Adams is making fun of Jamie, he was not really liking it. I love this show and they both make it work, Just sorry to hear that there was a really falling out between them, but I seer it in the show, that there was some tension.

[@JKSSubstandard]

No, its not that they arent friends. Before mythbusters Jamie was Adams boss for a while. They have polar opposite personalities and argue a lot on projects. They are both on record saying that this made for better TV and made the science better on the show since each had to prove methods and outcomes to their polar opposite before they could move forward. What adam said is that they will likely never work together again for those same reasons. He said in a very recent episode of his podcast that he still speaks to Jamie once or twice a year to catch up

Jamie's 'Sentry' is like a battle bot that fights in hell. 🔥🔥🔥🚒

[@Thornus_______]

Him and Savage are polar opposites Jaime is on the surface reserved Savage is bombastic almost like a kid with ADHD. Almost a ginger rather hotheaded

I feel like Jamie has lived every life possible

The many lives of the Hynamin.

I always enjoyed Jamie on the TV!

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

Too bad they weren’t friends. They are about polar opposites of each other, so not too surprising.

Damn that sucks I would love for Jamie heinemann and Adam Savage to get together and do an episode together for all time's sake oh well I thought I will admit this one I was glad I watched I was glad to find out what Jamie hyneman was up to I had no idea but I do now thank you for this video it was definitely a good one ✌️😎

[@253fabrication]

Adam Savage just "found out" about annular cutters last month. How in the hell do you own a Bridgeport (or any other milling machine) and just find out about annular cutters/roto-broche's.

[@RJRyenolds]

Adam is a hack, Jamie is the genuine article.

[@JimmeShelter]

He made a soldering station that had no inclusion of flux or ventilation.... But it did have a drawer for wire nuts.

[@JDS1592]

We have to figure this out before moving forward.

[@MouseGoat]

Don't worry, i'm fully convinced that Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage will team up again when the world needs it most and save us all!.. aka december 2020 :D

Adam didn't quite say never. What he said was that "I don't think we will continue to work together on other projects" and "we are enjoying a break from each other." So, maybe someday . . .

Adam made the show in my opinion
