1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Please, don't try anything that you're about to see us do at home. Ever.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Ready? Clear.

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And Tori, Carrie and Grant check if there's any truth that defibrillators can explode medical patches.

4
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
High explosives and electricity. Woo!

5
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It's a real shocker.

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
With vicious voltage and deadly detonation.

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
What?

8
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Who are the Diff Mustards?

9
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Adam Savage

10
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Dangerous Mind

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Middle Line

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And Jamie Heinemann

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Between them over 30 years special effects experience.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Joining them, Tori Belichi

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Miss you buddy

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Carrie Byron

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Don't try what you're about to see at home.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And Grant Imajara

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I'm flipping as fast as I can.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
They don't just tell them it's...

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
They put them to the test.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Woo!

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
We got a whole new batch of speed frig myths to test this time.

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Yeah, like what?

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Well, you remember back in series two, we ran through a whole gamut of tests to beat the police speed radar?

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
I remember it like it was only yesterday.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
To beat the speed radar, the team tried every trick and then some.

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
This is gonna freak them out.

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
A reverse microwave magnetron.

30
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
An aluminum foil firing chaff gun.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The stealth bummer Matt Black makeover.

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Even a fully foil wrapped caddy.

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Foil's been foiled.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
None of them were invisible to the radar.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
All of them were totally...

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Busted.

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I think if you're gonna get out of a ticket, short skirts and crying is still the way to go.

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
But batting your cry baby blues may only work if the law enforcement officer is human.

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
It won't get you anywhere with a clicking cop.

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But do the pole perching legal eagles catch all the fast moves?

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Can a speed camera ever be outstrip?

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Feeling the need for speed, viewers have sent in three mythical ways to beat the camera cop.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
The first one is that you can beat the speed camera by driving so fast through it,

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
it doesn't have time to take your picture.

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Well, seems pretty straightforward.

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
We get a speed camera, we get a car and we just drive like heck.

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Yeah we do!

48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
So viewer myth number one.

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
You can beat the speed camera by driving so fast, you can't see you.

50
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
That'd be time to cue the souped up super car.

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
But before we go high speed, Adam wants to test the theory in this car.

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
This is a perfect car for the test because while it may not be the fastest car in the block,

53
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
it is definitely representative of a totally average American car.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
If this myth is at all true, it ought to be true for your average car.

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Now if you're worried about Adam and Jamie maxing out a very average car,

56
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
this is a pair of five point racing harnesses.

57
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
You're not alone.

58
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Because we've got to drive at such high speeds, the insurance company requires we put some safety measures into it,

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and that's what I'm about to do.

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000
And so is Jamie, but how gas-axing a hole in the rear makes the car safer is anyone's guess.

61
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Once the bumper goes back on it, it'll be fine, nobody will know.

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Until they have a crash, I won't tell.

63
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
If this car can go half as fast as it's going in Adam's imagination,

64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
flip on the afterburner.

65
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
It should be able to beat the sound barrier, let alone a speed camera.

66
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And I'm out!

67
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
You ready?

68
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I'm totally ready, let's go.

69
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Let's go beat the speed camera.

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speed cameras work like sonar.

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
They send out radar pulses.

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The time it takes for the pulse to come back to the sensor registers the speed of the vehicle.

73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
If it's over the limit, a signal sent to the camera to take a photo.

74
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
The myth is, if you can drive faster than the pulses, it won't detect your vehicle.

75
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
We got to beat the speed camera.

76
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
The only place we can shoot this is our favorite tarmac at Alameda Navi Base.

77
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
It's about a mile and three quarters of perfectly flat road.

78
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It's absolutely ideal for our purposes.

79
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,000
To Alameda, almost two miles of runway, one myth, one car, and no speed limit.

80
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
It's just another day in Mythbusters Paradise.

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000
At least until it's time to meet the speedster's arch enemy, the speed camera, and the mastermind behind it.

82
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Great.

83
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Hi Adam.

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Thanks, you both.

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Adam Tuton's cameras have been the bane of every leadfoot's life since 1987.

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Over the years, how many tickets have your systems issued?

87
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I'd have to say millions.

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Wow.

89
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
With millions of tickets under its belt, will Jani at full throttle be fast enough to get in under the radar?

90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000
As usual, our biggest problem is not doing this particular stunt, but it's dealing with the insurance issues surrounding it.

91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
So we're going to have a safety person in the car with me.

92
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
We're going to have a fire suit on and a helmet and a whole nine yards.

93
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Just in the case we blow a tire and spin out and crash and burn and stuff like that.

94
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Ah, Jani.

95
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Ever the option.

96
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Based solely on my intuition and on any practical experience whatsoever, I estimate that we can get this car, or that Jani can get this car to just over 100 miles an hour.

97
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Is it enough to beat the speed camera?

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
I suspect that it isn't, but I'm curious to find out.

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Let's go fast.

100
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Jamie's going to put the pedal to the metal while Adam tries to keep up in the safety car.

101
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:33,000
The mustachioed maestro soon leaves Adam in his dust, but did he dust off the speed camera too?

102
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Did you get him?

103
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
We got him.

104
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
What kind of speed did you get?

105
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
100 miles an hour.

106
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
100 miles an hour?

107
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
There he is.

108
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Not bad.

109
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Oh, and you got his license plate too.

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Let's see Jamie bat his crybaby blues now.

111
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Well, how'd I do?

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Ticket or no ticket?

113
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Oh, you got a ticket to speed and scoff law.

114
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
We got you right handed right here.

115
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
One picture says it all.

116
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Jamie's been booked fair and square.

117
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Just for me, so we have a data set of more than one, which is always a goal on this show.

118
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Let's do it again.

119
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Do I have to?

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
You do.

121
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Go.

122
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
How'd I do that time?

123
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
No faster.

124
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
It's like there's not a whole lot of options here.

125
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
It's like flat.

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I don't know, man.

127
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
I mean, maybe you just don't have what it takes.

128
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
And the fighting words partner, Adam's hat seems to have given the dude some John Wayne too.

129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
In three, two, and here we go.

130
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Adam's competitive streets been triggered.

131
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
The gauntlets down and so is his foot.

132
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Will he beat Jamie and the speed camera?

133
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
How did I do?

134
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
You did exactly the same as I did.

135
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
For some strange reason, 100 miles an hour and we got your picture.

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
We can't call it on the basis of this test alone.

137
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
We need more power.

138
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
We need a different car.

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
We need a real car.

140
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Coming up on Mythbusters.

141
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
That goes into your chest.

142
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
A shocking investigation.

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
And Adam puts plate blockers up against the wall.

144
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Okay, guys, I got a myth that's really going to shock you because it's about defibrillators.

145
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Okay, that's like in the EMT shows with the...

146
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Clear!

147
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Yeah, but that's only half of it.

148
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
It's also about nitroglycerin patches.

149
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Nitroglycerin? That's explosive.

150
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It's for heart patients, right?

151
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah. The myth is that if you're wearing a nitroglycerin patch and somebody defibrillates you, the patch will explode.

152
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
If it's explosive, they can get shockingly close.

153
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Nitroglycerin patches dilate arteries, increase blood flow, and when placed on the chest, relieve heart pain.

154
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
But can these patches be detonated by the electricity from a defibrillator?

155
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It's true that these machines come with a warning to remove such patches before shocking a patient.

156
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But what happens if you don't?

157
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Well, first step in this explosive myth from the ER is to get a defibrillator, but already there's a problem.

158
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Wait a minute, who's going to let us use their defibrillator? I mean, we break everything we touch.

159
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Okay, let's borrow one, we'll characterize it, and then we'll make our own.

160
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
You say weed, you mean you?

161
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Yes.

162
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Now, making a do-it-yourself defibrillator isn't all that hard.

163
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000
All you need is a degree in electrical engineering and a knowledge of just how vicious voltage is.

164
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,000
It's going to be potentially the most lethal thing I've ever built.

165
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Grants defibrillator will take AC power and boost it to more than 4,000 volts.

166
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:13,000
The high voltage will then be stored in a capacitor so that when it's triggered, it can instantly dump a heart-jumping charge into the patient's chest.

167
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
This thing, if it works, will definitely kill you.

168
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
We're making Frankenstein's laboratory.

169
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000
While Grant deals with the diodes, Tori and Carrie make the electrical ER safer.

170
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
We should be safe.

171
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000
With the ER rubbered up and ready, Grants cooked up a unique pair of defibrillator paddles.

172
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Check this out.

173
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Clear!

174
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
What's with the serrated edges?

175
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
It's a little scary.

176
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Well, you know, I mean, normally the heart paddles don't have serrated edges, but this is a homemade defibrillator,

177
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
so you have to go with what you can get.

178
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Once Grants defibrillator is up and running, the plan is to unleash it on some nitro patches placed on a torso,

179
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
made of that mythbusters favorite Ballistics gel.

180
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Well, that came out easier than I expected.

181
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
But before all that, the team first needs to see if Grants gizmo works.

182
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000
In theory, it's capable of delivering a bigger shock than you'd get from the third rail of the subway track.

183
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Everybody ready?

184
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
More than enough to kill you if you're not careful.

185
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Three, two, one.

186
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Ah!

187
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Wow, that was great.

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Okay.

189
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
That was a good one.

190
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I think it's ready.

191
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
That goes into your chest?

192
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
So Grants DIY defibrillator is certainly sparking.

193
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Okay, bring on the body.

194
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
But for the explosive tests to be valid, it's crucial that his machine has exactly the same capabilities as this.

195
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
The defibrillator used in ERs up and down the country.

196
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Thank you.

197
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Ready to put the heart paddles in?

198
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Yeah.

199
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,000
To find out, the team inserts two copper heart paddles in the torso's chest, which are hardwired to an oscilloscope.

200
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Are you ready for your test?

201
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It'll register precisely how much juice is jumping, first from the commercial defibrillator.

202
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Anyone clear?

203
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Clear.

204
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Got it.

205
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Did you get it?

206
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Yep.

207
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
We start testing.

208
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Nice.

209
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000
The oscilloscope is telling me that it had a peak of 4 millivolts.

210
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Now, what it's also saying is that the event lasted for two microseconds.

211
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Do you think I'll get first place in the science fair?

212
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Now they know what they're aiming for.

213
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Grants patty flipping paddles are attached to the torso to see if his DIY defibrillator can deliver the same result.

214
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
This just doesn't look dangerous enough.

215
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Should we get some buckets of water to stand in or maybe set up the sprinkler system?

216
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Just put your safety glasses on.

217
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Mr. Safety.

218
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Just hope this isn't the before moment.

219
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
We should probably set up the high speed on carry.

220
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Now remember.

221
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
1000 volts.

222
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
They built their own defibrillator so as not to wreck the real one.

223
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
2500.

224
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
But is it safe to use?

225
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Now might be a good time for Carrie's family and friends to turn away.

226
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
You're at 4000.

227
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Pull the switch.

228
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Turn off power supply.

229
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Okay.

230
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Carrie, are you ready?

231
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Everybody clear.

232
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Have your toolbox.

233
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Three, two, one.

234
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
She's alive.

235
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
She made it.

236
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Okay, you're good.

237
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Good job.

238
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I was worried for you for a second.

239
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Yeah, I'm sure my mom watches us later.

240
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
She's gonna be like, oh, not again.

241
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
We just did the first test with Grant's homemade defibrillator.

242
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
And to say it was a little bit scared going into it.

243
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
It looks very Frankensteiny.

244
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
And all the laws of physics said not gonna get shocked.

245
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I'm holding onto wood.

246
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
I'm standing on a rubber.

247
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
But can't help the heart be going, what if, what if, what if.

248
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:57,000
The good news is this proves that it does deliver the shock into the ballistic shell body.

249
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Yeah, that's great.

250
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
How's your heart?

251
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Is it still pumping?

252
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Yeah, it's going like, e-e-e-e-e-e.

253
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
So Grant's defibrillator has passed.

254
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
It's as good as the industry standard.

255
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,000
It's open season on speedsters.

256
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
First there was the squad car.

257
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Then the radar.

258
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And now they've raised the bar with speed cameras.

259
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Adam and Jamie have tried to beat it through speed,

260
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000
but until they get a faster car, that myth's on hold.

261
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
That leaves plenty of time for viewer myth number two.

262
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Well next up is a whole set of products which we call plate blockers.

263
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000
These are things that you would put over your license plate that would obscure it only to the camera when it tried to take your picture.

264
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Therefore, they don't know who to send the ticket to.

265
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
So what, we just go out and drive by them with this stuff over the plate?

266
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Yeah, actually not so fast.

267
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I think I'd like to try some scale tests out on these guys.

268
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I put them down in the shop with my digital camera and my flash and see if I can't get the results that they claim here in the shop.

269
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Adam has five plate blocking devices in his sights.

270
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:07,000
All claim to somehow prevent the police paparazzi from tracking you down.

271
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
First up is this thing which supposedly has micro crystals to reflect the camera's flash.

272
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
See what it does?

273
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Here I am.

274
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Now I'm gone.

275
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Oh my god, where did I go?

276
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Oh, here I am.

277
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Adam's clearly unimpressed and reading the small print doesn't help.

278
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
The manufacturer and retailer soon know responsibility for any user application of this product in violation with any applicable law before installing this product.

279
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Please take care of state and local laws and regulations.

280
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I'll save you some time.

281
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
It's probably illegal.

282
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Illegal, maybe.

283
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Effective, let's see.

284
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
This is glitter license plate with the flash on.

285
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I don't have any problem reading that.

286
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Oh man, you know, it's funny but it also makes me really mad.

287
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
It's ridiculous.

288
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Let's do due diligence on this piece of crap and try it from far away.

289
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
The thing is, the micro crystals don't seem to be reflecting much at all.

290
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
It's pretty much totally readable.

291
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:15,000
I can see it's trying to reflect a light, but it's not succeeding because I can still read California, June, no doubt.

292
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
In this case, all the glitters definitely ain't gold.

293
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
So what about plastic plate blocker number two?

294
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Oh, I see what it's doing.

295
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I'll eat my hat if this is legal in even one state.

296
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Oh, I'm never so slightly side onto this thing.

297
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
It's definitely obscuring a couple of the letters of the license plate.

298
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
There's no doubt about it.

299
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
And the effect is that Kent's search the database by as many letters as they can see on your license plate.

300
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
They've got you.

301
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
In fact, this would f**k me off enough to come and find you.

302
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Don't hold back, Adam.

303
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Tell us how you really feel.

304
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
The other plate blockers also failed to impress.

305
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
There was regular kitchen plastic wrap.

306
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
It is not obscured at all.

307
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
A tailor-made commercial spray.

308
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
It's totally readable.

309
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
And run-of-the-mill hairspray.

310
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
It's clear as day.

311
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
All got the Adam Savage seal off disapproving.

312
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Granted, this is probably not what they're using professionally.

313
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000
So I can't call it busted on the basis of this, but it really doesn't look good.

314
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
So for a definitive test, they'll run the plate blockers past the same setup that's used on the street.

315
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
The micro crystal glitter plates first up.

316
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Oh!

317
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Rapid police one glitter obfuscation technique, zero.

318
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Next up is the lenticular obfuscation technique.

319
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
This lenticular thing did obfuscate the license plate more than anything else,

320
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
but I still don't have high hopes that it'll beat our speed camera.

321
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You got a ticket, buddy!

322
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Time to move on to the next one.

323
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
That'd be Mr. Savage's makeup call.

324
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Obviously, Mythbusters brand hairspray is very important to how I look on set and on television.

325
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
But although it looked good on Adam, it didn't cut it with the speed camera.

326
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
And neither did the commercial spray.

327
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Starting to see a pattern here.

328
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Yeah, plate blockers zip.

329
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speed camera four.

330
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Make that five with the plastic wrap.

331
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Clear as a bell.

332
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Clear as a bell.

333
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Cling wrap is busted.

334
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Not a single one of the plate blockers has worked.

335
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
So it's plate blockers zero speed cameras five.

336
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000
With the plate blockers well and truly busted, the boys are counting down the viewer's speed camera myths.

337
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
You know we shot so many myths for this episode that the whole thing about being in a speed camera by changing lanes isn't going to make the final cut.

338
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Really?

339
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Yeah, but it is available online.

340
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And you can see it by going to www.discovery.com slash Mythbusters.

341
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Later on Mythbusters.

342
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Hey you guys, we got a little problem here.

343
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Why electricity and water don't mix.

344
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
That seems really, really, really dangerous.

345
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
But next, do speed cameras snap birds.

346
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
In a dive, the peregrine's been clocked at 240 miles an hour.

347
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It's enough to make your hair stand on end.

348
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Electricity on its own is lethal.

349
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Put it near high explosive and you're just asking for trouble.

350
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
That's exactly what our brave band of Mythbusters are doing.

351
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Two, one.

352
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Nitroglycerin is found in dynamite, but it's also used to treat heart patients.

353
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,000
But according to this ER myth, if you hit a nitro patch with an electric shock from a defibrillator, it'll explode.

354
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
With explosives, electricity and Mythbusters, it's time to move the whole shebang to the bomb proof backyard bunker.

355
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
It's finally time to start our nitroglycerin patch tests.

356
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Now we're going to start with the modern nitroglycerin patches.

357
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
They're the most common to get.

358
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,000
We're going to use one patch and we're going to defibrillate our patient here at 200 joules.

359
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
With a cataclysmic catastrophe on the cards, they're taking no chances.

360
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:32,000
For this one, the Ballistics Gel Torso and Grant's DIY defibrillator are going to be home alone.

361
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
We've taken a few safety precautions so that we can do it remotely.

362
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000
We have our paddles. They are clamped to the body and then Grant has the remote trigger outside of the bunker.

363
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,000
So we'll set it all up, charge it, we'll get out of the bunker, set it off remotely.

364
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
So if there is an explosion, none of us get killed.

365
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Sounds good. The only trouble is it's pouring with rain and the bunker ain't exactly waterproof.

366
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Hey you guys, we got a little problem here.

367
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000
A problem!

368
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
What's going on?

369
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
It's raining on my neon transformer so I need it.

370
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Is that a problem?

371
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Yeah, kind of.

372
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
You want an umbrella?

373
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Oh jeez.

374
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Something.

375
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
That seems really, really, really dangerous.

376
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Yeah, not entirely safe. In fact, let me unplug this.

377
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Okay.

378
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Diagnosing a problem was easy. Fixing it, well, that's a different story.

379
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
If it explodes, it's safer than being in a shock.

380
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Pools of water, massive amounts of electricity. I don't see a danger in that at all.

381
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
With the deluge finally diverted, Grant's confident it's safe enough to proceed.

382
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Nitroglycerin patch test. 200 joules in 3, 2, 1.

383
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
I didn't see any explosions. I didn't see any arcing, anything at all.

384
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000
No.

385
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,000
We didn't get any explosion at 200 joules. Let's ramp it up to 360. Give it the maximum power.

386
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
But cracking the power to the max.

387
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
No explosion, guys.

388
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Even putting the paddles right on the patch.

389
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
It arched, it sparked, it didn't ignite.

390
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Well, I think one of the problems here is it's just not going to arch to the plastic.

391
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
It's just not going to do anything there. And there is an old nitroglycerin patch

392
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
that has sort of an aluminum in the plastic. Maybe that would arch from the spark.

393
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
More conductivity would definitely give it a higher likelihood of arching.

394
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Should be easy to get a couple of those, no?

395
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Actually, Tori, that's a no.

396
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Aluminum-backed nitroglycerin patches were phased out in the 1980s.

397
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
So, Carrie's making some of her own.

398
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
And this is...

399
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Conductive?

400
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
That's what I was going to let you find out for me.

401
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Ooh, look at that.

402
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Oh, that's cool.

403
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Now, I'm sure that stun gun Tori's using comes with a warning.

404
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
That is cool. Look at that.

405
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Something along the lines of not a toy.

406
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Look at that burning.

407
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Use with caution.

408
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Look, I wrote my name.

409
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Keep out of reach of children.

410
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Oh, Tori, are we going to ever have an episode where you don't hurt yourself?

411
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
I didn't think it was going to hurt me.

412
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
I thought I had that one under control.

413
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Also not under control is the weather.

414
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Oh, great. The water level has risen.

415
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Folks, it goes without saying, never, ever, ever try this at home.

416
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Somebody want to get a 2x4 just in case they need to knock us apart?

417
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Perhaps the least lethal thing to happen now would be if Carrie's homemade foil-backed patches exploded.

418
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Three, two, one.

419
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Did you see a spark or anything?

420
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Nope.

421
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
See an explosion?

422
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
No.

423
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Just like the modern plastic patches, maximum voltage, foil-side up, or foil-side down.

424
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
No reaction.

425
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Even putting the paddles ridiculously close causes no kaboom.

426
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
It arced right over that patch.

427
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I didn't see an explosion.

428
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
No explosion.

429
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I don't think that the concentration of the nitric glycerin is high enough to actually get any sort of explosion.

430
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
I mean, that's it. This myth is going down.

431
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
The myth may be going down, but it's not over yet.

432
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Because when it comes to the mythbusters and explosions, no one goes home disappointed.

433
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
We're going to blow that nitro patch up so you bet we are, buddy.

434
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Still to come on Mythbusters.

435
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
I'm actually picking it up at about 40 miles an hour.

436
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Caught on radar, but do birds trip speed cameras?

437
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
They break the G-meters at like 18 Gs.

438
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And the exploding patches myth calls for drastic surgery.

439
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
You played Doctor Before?

440
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Please, don't try anything that you're about to see us do at home.

441
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Ever.

442
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Adam and Jamie are getting wrapped up in their quest to beat speed camera myths.

443
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Can someone unwrap me?

444
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Turn off the camera and help me get out of this thing.

445
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:00,000
So far, it seems there's no way to get one over on the super sensitive speed slayer.

446
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
But just how responsive are they?

447
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
It's time to test viewer myth number three.

448
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000
You know, I heard once that those speed cameras are so sensitive that they'll pick up a bird,

449
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
fly in past them and take a picture of it.

450
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
You know, I hate to play devil's advocate on this, but I can't see it working.

451
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I think a bird is just too tiny to be picked up by the radar.

452
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
We should get some trained birds and fly them through the path.

453
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Okay, and maybe a really fast trained bird.

454
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
One, make that two really fast birds coming up.

455
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000
There you go.

456
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
She's got a hat here this morning, but she'll shake it out.

457
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Meet female falcons Strager and Falstaff and their master falconer James Tighon.

458
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
People are always asking us how fast they are over the ground.

459
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
In a dive, the peregrine's been clocked at 240 miles an hour.

460
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
They've put G meters on them and they break G meters at like 18 G's.

461
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:00,000
The birds certainly have made Adam and Jamie sit up and take notice, but will the speed cameras see them?

462
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I don't think the speed camera is going to pick up the bird.

463
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
My guess is based on the practicality of operating a speed camera.

464
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
When you get the disc out of the camera and you're looking at all the license plates,

465
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
you don't want a lot of pretty pictures of birds.

466
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Something tells me they designed that out of the system and that they don't pick up birds flying.

467
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Well, there's only one sure way to find out.

468
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I think what we'll do is we'll send my associate Kate downwind.

469
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
She'll release the bird.

470
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I'll call the bird.

471
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
We'll do a straight downwind run.

472
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
She'll come right on marks, hopefully.

473
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Let's do it.

474
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
With the speed camera in position and poised to take a picture,

475
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Falcon Airways Flight 001 is cleared for takeoff.

476
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
I'm actually picking her up at about 40 miles an hour.

477
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Adam's radar is clocking her at 40 and the camera's preset to go off at just 10 miles an hour.

478
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
She was going 40 miles an hour.

479
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
If this could pick her up, that was a good speed to pick her up at.

480
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And it was right down the throat.

481
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
It should have got it.

482
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
How do we do?

483
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Take a picture at 29 miles an hour.

484
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,000
But there's a big difference between Adam's radar speed of 40 and the camera's 29.

485
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
So what exactly did they take a photo of?

486
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
One thing I'm not sure of, was he swinging the bait?

487
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
He was.

488
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000
So you might have picked up the bait?

489
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
I don't know.

490
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Well, I mean, there's an easy way to test for that.

491
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
We could just have him stand farther down the camera, can't see him.

492
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Or we could just have him swing the bait with no bird in the picture.

493
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Or we could try something really simple like that.

494
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Let's do that.

495
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Yeah, that'll do.

496
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I'm going to go sit in the trailer now.

497
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,000
While Adam eats a slice of humble pie, the others find out if it was the chick that made the camera clean.

498
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Faster.

499
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,000
But even with the bait in full swing, there's still no camera catching.

500
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
So it's picking up speeds, but it's not photoing.

501
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000
There's not enough of a signature to give a quality threshold high enough to trigger the camera.

502
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
But it seems like the bird absolutely did.

503
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Stunning.

504
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
I love being wrong.

505
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
But just to make really sure, Adam wants one more run to clear up the camera conundrum.

506
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
I heard the camera go.

507
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,000
We got it?

508
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Yeah.

509
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Awesome!

510
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Two for two with animals, no less.

511
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Oh man, amazing.

512
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
That's pretty conclusive to me.

513
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
The speed camera was in fact able to pick up a bird.

514
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
That's good stuff.

515
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
That would be myth confirmed.

516
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Let's give the bird a ticket.

517
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
At 41 miles an hour, this speedster has just had her first brush with the law.

518
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
What we think is we're going to put a license plate on her right about here.

519
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
It's a little bitty one, you know.

520
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
If you can see me, you're too close, something like that.

521
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
You did very good, sweetie.

522
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Three, two, one.

523
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And can Adam and Jayne finally beat the speed camera?

524
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Ah!

525
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000
It never pays to monkey around with electricity, especially near explosives.

526
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:35,000
But for Carrie, Tori and Grant, detonating nitroglycerin medical patches with an electric defibrillator

527
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
has so far only blown away a lot of time.

528
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Nothing happened.

529
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,000
No explosion.

530
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Shocker.

531
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
They want an explosion and they want it now.

532
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Forget this medicinal nitroglycerin, let's get the pure stuff.

533
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
The stuff we all know is explosive.

534
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
We'll smear that on the body and then try to defibrillate again.

535
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Well, I'm pretty sure no one is going to sell us pure nitroglycerin.

536
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
I think we're already in all the watch lists.

537
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
So maybe it's time to call former FBI agent Frank Doyle.

538
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:12,000
You may remember Frank from such great Mythbusters moments as the case of the exploding trousers.

539
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Woo!

540
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
22,000 foot fall.

541
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:26,000
And the mother of all explosions when Frank totally trashed a truck.

542
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Today, Frank's back to help change the Mythbusters script from mission impossible to the mission accomplished.

543
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
It's cooking juice.

544
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Yeah.

545
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Access to nitroglycerin is strictly controlled and it's highly dangerous to transport.

546
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Good stuff.

547
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:56,000
So Frank's brought his buddy James Kripp and along to refine a premium blend from another explosive that contains a high proportion of nitroglycerin.

548
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
I think our chances are pretty good. We can probably get it to go bang.

549
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Impacts the best way to detonate nitroglycerin.

550
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:10,000
So to see if Frank's batch is up to scratch, the job falls to Grant's automatic hammer.

551
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Ready for this?

552
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Three, two, one.

553
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
That wasn't an explosion.

554
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Hey, we got a puff.

555
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
It did sound like a cap.

556
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
So did it or didn't it explode?

557
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Okay, hit the target.

558
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Yeah, smell smoky.

559
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Frank's keeping the jury out until he's seen the high speed.

560
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
The hammer's coming down.

561
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Yeah, that's great.

562
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,000
That's awesome.

563
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Nice work, Frank.

564
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
So that's what we were looking for.

565
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Good juice.

566
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Definitely good juice.

567
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So Frank's nitroglycerin sure is explosive, but can it be detonated by an electric spark from a defibrillator?

568
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:58,000
The ballistic gel torso is wheeled into place and once again, the paddles are placed close enough to spark.

569
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Do you want to put a little drop right at where the two paddles touch?

570
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:09,000
The team has put just a patch size drop of the nitroglycerin oil on the torso's chest, but will this be enough for a boom?

571
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
We got a good arc and a good contact there.

572
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Should work, theoretically.

573
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
So we're hot.

574
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000
You guys ready?

575
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Yep.

576
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Okay, so this is 360 Joules, maximum power.

577
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Three, two, one.

578
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
I saw a spark.

579
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Yeah, I saw a spark.

580
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
I didn't see any smoke.

581
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
No explosion.

582
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
No.

583
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Now if concentrated nitroglycerin cannot ignite with the defibrillator, the patches are never going to explode off your chest.

584
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
It's not going to happen.

585
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
It's just another flash in the pan.

586
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,000
If the defibrillator can't detonate this concentrated nitroglycerin, then it'll never detonate a patch.

587
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
It's myth well and truly busted.

588
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
All right, what do you think?

589
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000
I don't know.

590
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
I mean, there's still a pull of nitroglycerin right where the paddles are touching.

591
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And it's still wet underneath.

592
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
And there are absolutely no burn marks.

593
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
I'm not seeing the carnage from any sort of explosion here.

594
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
And I think we've replicated all of the circumstances.

595
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
So what's left?

596
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Frank, we need an explosion.

597
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
This would be the moment Frank's been waiting for.

598
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000
With the myth busted, it's time to replicate the results.

599
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
How can a defibrillator cause a kaboom?

600
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Well, luckily Frank came prepared.

601
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
We're going to shift over to some real explosive that we know that works.

602
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
We're not going to use a lot.

603
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It won't take a lot.

604
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
But our jello friend there is going to probably go away.

605
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,000
We're going to do a little chest surgery here.

606
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,000
We're going to put the nitroglycerin in there because we want to get rid of the rest of what we have.

607
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,000
And then we're going to put some assistance in there, some additional assistance.

608
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,000
For days, they've been dumping high voltage into their dummy.

609
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Now with his liquid lunch of nitroglycerin plus assistance,

610
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
they might finally turn the torso torpedo.

611
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Okay, we will need everybody to move back for safety reasons now.

612
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Three, two, one.

613
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
That was awesome.

614
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Now that's what I expected from those patches.

615
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
That's great.

616
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
That is an explosion.

617
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,000
The torso has been terminated and with flying collage.

618
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
That is a beautiful thing.

619
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
He's looking at his belly.

620
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
That is just an explosion.

621
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
That kind of showing is what you expect to see when something explodes.

622
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Frank, you did not disappoint us.

623
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Thank you.

624
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I think we owe you a table though.

625
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Well, we finally got an explosion.

626
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,000
It had nothing to do with nitroglycerin.

627
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Yeah, it had everything to do with the bomb squad.

628
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
But at least we can say if the defibrillator did not ignite and create an explosion

629
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
with highly concentrated nitroglycerin,

630
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
way more than you'd ever find in any medicinal patch,

631
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
this myth is totally, totally busted.

632
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
It's busted.

633
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
The final speed camera, fast car face-up.

634
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
And Jamie unleashes his secret weapon.

635
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Show me what you've got, cheater.

636
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Before the speed camera, those who lived life in the fast lane

637
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
had the highway patrol to contend with.

638
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Nowadays, speedsters find it hard to defy the all-seeing eye.

639
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Adam and Jamie have tested all the viewer myths,

640
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
but there's still one that's not quite done.

641
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I got some great news.

642
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
The researchers have found us a really fast car.

643
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
So we're going to have a second go at speed.

644
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Oh, you mean whether or not the speeding car can beat the speed camera?

645
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Exactly.

646
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
You'll never guess what Adam's going to ask next.

647
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Can I drive the car?

648
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Of course.

649
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Yes!

650
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
In true MythBusters tradition,

651
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Adam and Jamie are going to push the edge of the fast envelope

652
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
in a go-for-broke speed camera, speed car face-up.

653
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Come to Infinity Unrace later,

654
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,000
I think they have something with a lot more grunt

655
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000
than we can put in front of the speed camera and see if we can beat it.

656
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
One grunt machine coming up.

657
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Yep, believe it or not,

658
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
somehow Mrs. Savage's little boy Adam has been let loose

659
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
to pilot a prime piece of auto-realistic.

660
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000
What, beat the speed camera? What? What?

661
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
All right, that's why we're here.

662
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Sir.

663
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
How are we doing?

664
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
How are you guys doing?

665
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Good.

666
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
But to keep us and the car safe,

667
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
chief driving instructor Mark will be riding shotgun.

668
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
You think he can handle driving it?

669
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
He might be able to give it a shot.

670
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Adam hasn't had so much fun since the last full moon.

671
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
I'm so ready to go. Let's go.

672
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
I don't know, Adam.

673
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Can you believe they let me in here?

674
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,000
No. What's the value of this car?

675
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
280.

676
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
280.

677
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Well...

678
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I can work that off.

679
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Well, there's the next 65 years of Adam's life taken care of.

680
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
I don't think it's going to work, even with a really fast car.

681
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Jamie remains skeptical,

682
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
but if anything stands a chance of beating the speed camera,

683
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
then it's this.

684
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
He's a little over 100 miles an hour.

685
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
That's not much better than your average auto-realistic.

686
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Is that all you've got, Adam?

687
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
So what do you say? Ticket or no ticket?

688
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Ticket. There's the evidence.

689
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
So it is.

690
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
There he goes again.

691
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
But even with Mark urging him on...

692
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
On 18...

693
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
It's not enough.

694
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,000
I don't know too.

695
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
He's slowing down by the time I get here.

696
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Adam's running out of road and buttoning off

697
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
before he gets to the speed camera.

698
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Moving it closer to the start line

699
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
means they can clock in in full flight.

700
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000
It's Adam's last chance.

701
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
It's do or die.

702
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,000
100...

703
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
120...

704
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
123...

705
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
That's Adam's best yet.

706
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Unbelievable.

707
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
But is it enough?

708
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Got him.

709
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
You're going to have to go faster than that to beat the speed camera.

710
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
With the score running 3-0 to the speed camera,

711
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
there's only one option left.

712
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Adam has to swallow his pride

713
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,000
and hand over the reins to a professional driver.

714
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000
If he can't beat it, it's not going to get beat.

715
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000
120...

716
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,000
127.

717
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Mark's first run is not much faster than Adam's.

718
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
So what do you do?

719
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
115.

720
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
He's going faster.

721
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
140.

722
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
136.

723
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
We got a ticket.

724
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Even with a professional propelling it to maximum momentum,

725
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
130...

726
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
140...

727
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
It's still not enough to beat the speed camera.

728
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I don't know.

729
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
The speed camera, it's like works on the speed of light.

730
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
So the car doesn't.

731
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
The car goes like maybe 200 miles an hour tops.

732
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
I don't think we're going to beat it.

733
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
All that's left to do now is to gently break Adam's heart.

734
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,000
What was our top speed?

735
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The top speed I got was about 140 miles an hour.

736
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
That was when Mark was driving?

737
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Yeah.

738
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
What was my top speed?

739
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
About 120.

740
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Maybe 123, I forgot.

741
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Well that settles it, man.

742
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
If we couldn't beat it with this thing,

743
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
there's no way you can beat the speed camera no matter how fast you're going.

744
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I mean you know you're like under Mach 1.

745
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Yep, I guess it's busted.

746
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Our work here is done.

747
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Let's go.

748
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Not so fast.

749
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
I got a little something.

750
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Little something something.

751
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Really?

752
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Yeah.

753
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Something something.

754
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
There's a lot of secret squirrel going on here.

755
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
If I know one thing about Jamie,

756
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
he's going outside the box and probably cheating.

757
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000
What you got here is a little bit more of a straightforward, no nonsense,

758
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
no chemicals, no plastic wrap,

759
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
just basic physics to beat the speed camera.

760
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Get your cards, show me what you got cheater.

761
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Okay, we all set.

762
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
The plate blockers fail.

763
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
The very average auto failed.

764
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Red Ross speed failed.

765
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
In a sea of failure,

766
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
what can Jamie possibly do to succeed?

767
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Nicely done.

768
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Very, very clever.

769
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Like I said, I knew he was going to cheat.

770
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
So how did he do it?

771
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Well remember way back when the car was being made safer

772
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
and Jamie was busy cutting a huge hole,

773
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,000
turns out it was to fit the old spy car revolving license plate trick.

774
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,000
This is just an air powered rudder actuator, you know,

775
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
a plier, it flips it.

776
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
That is good.

777
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Nicely done.

778
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Little trigger.

779
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
You still get a ticket for that.

780
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000
And actually I think the ticket for having that on your car

781
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,000
is a lot worse than speeding.

782
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,000
This one comes in jail time.

783
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
What are you going to do?

784
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Nice work, Speedy Gonzalez.

785
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Let's go home.

786
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Make sure you have it on the right plate on the way home.

787
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Alright.

788
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Dude, I so dally love driving that fast car.

789
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,000
That was awesome.

790
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Yeah, I know you did.

791
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000
I got the researchers combing every source they can find

792
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
for more fast car myths for us.

793
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Yeah, well you know we're doing a whole episode on viewer suggested myths

794
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
and I bet there are going to be some car ones in there.

795
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,000
That's right.

796
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
If you've got some fast car myths that we can test,

797
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000
log on to Discovery.com slash MythBusters

798
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,000
and write down your ideas.

799
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
We'll be checking in often.

800
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Yeah.
