1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Hey, don't try what you're about to see at home.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,600
We're what you call experts.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,600
That's right. We do this for a living.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,000
On this episode of MythBusters,

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,600
I take your bullets!

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,800
It's survival of the fittest.

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,000
As we track down the myths you say got away.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,600
For myth evolution.

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,600
Will an airbag explosion tear your thumbs clean off?

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,600
Whoa!

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,600
Is breathing from an underwater tire possible?

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,600
Or just more Hollywood hot air?

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600
I can't believe that this is my job.

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Can an MRI scan cause an RFID implant to explode?

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Could the nimble ninja deflect bullets with their bare hands?

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,600
We killed the ninja!

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,600
And Adam and Jamie return to the fastest myth of all.

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Is there any way to beat the speed camera?

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Dude, that was like getting punched in the chest!

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,600
Who are the MythBusters?

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Adam Savage.

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600
That was awesome!

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
And Jamie Heinemann.

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience.

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Hi, it's my son.

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Joining them, Grant Imahara.

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Warning!

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,600
We're getting dangerous now.

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600
And that's how we like it.

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,600
And Carrie Byron.

31
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,600
That is messed up!

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
They don't just tell the myths.

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Wow, I can feel the pressure.

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
They put them to the test.

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,600
What part of the show is this?

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Talking.

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,600
No, it's going back and trying myths again to make sure we've dialed in and gotten it right.

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,600
So it's that time again?

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Absolutely. Myths revisited.

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Except this time of the twist, myths evolution.

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Myths evolution?

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Yeah, every time we air a myth, the next morning I go onto the fan site and find all these myths that have to do with what we just did, except we didn't know about them at the time.

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,600
So I want to do a whole episode of the myths that got away.

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Well, okay, what do we got?

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Well, we got more for ninjas, we've got underwater car, we've got baseball, airbags, and a cheeky speed camera revisit.

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Okay.

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:38,600
That's right. Every time an episode goes to air, the mythbusters are soon bombarded with myths the fans think we missed.

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,600
And for myth evolution, we're returning to some of the fans' favorite topics.

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600
To tackle the myths, we apparently forgot.

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600
And first up...

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:59,600
For the ninja special, the mythbusters put their stealth, speed, and cunning to the test for some shadow warrior myths.

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600
They tried walking on water.

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600
I don't know about you, but do you seem a little cumbersome to me?

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Smashing an arrow mid-flight.

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,600
That tells me that at human speed, it's not fast enough to grab the arrow.

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,600
And stopping a sword.

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,600
He stopped it with his head.

58
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,600
So for myth evolution, it's time to return to the dojo.

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Do you guys remember the ninja special?

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,600
Yes!

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
There was one myth the fans thought we forgot. It's about modern ninjas.

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Which one?

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Well, the myth is that a modern ninja has such awesome reflexes that they can swat away a speeding bullet with their bare hands.

64
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,600
Now, it's not like the karate kid catching, you know, a fly with his chopsticks. It's more like...

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,600
No way. Not even a ninja can beat a bullet.

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Well, the fans say that a modern ninja can swat away a 9mm bullet at 20 yards.

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Well, if the fans believe it, we need to test it.

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Alright.

69
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Is a ninja really faster than a speeding bullet?

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:07,600
In this myth, the shadow warrior uses his bare hand to slap a bullet out of its deadly trajectory without injury.

71
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,600
But is this possible? Or is it just another example of ninja misinformation?

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:20,600
You know, I seem to remember that Adam and Jamie proved that it was impossible to catch an arrow traveling at 170 miles an hour.

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,600
A bullet is going to be much faster than that. I just don't see how anyone can slap it with their bare hands.

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,600
Not to mention how dangerous this myth is going to be to test.

75
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,600
Well, we could do what we always do. Start out by building a robot.

76
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,600
What is it with you and these robots?

77
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Or we could find a way for one of us to do it without getting hurt.

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,600
What do you propose? Full metal jacket? Give it a shot?

79
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,600
I think we should start out by shooting paintballs at Tori.

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,600
I call the gun.

81
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,600
That's going to suck.

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Well, that's definitely safer than ballistics.

83
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,600
So before they bring out the big guns, they'll test if a deflection is even possible with paintballs.

84
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,600
And, unluckily for Tori, Carrie has a score to settle.

85
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,600
This is not the first time we have shot paintballs at each other.

86
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,600
Last time, I was the recipient of those bullets. This time, I think I need a little payback.

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:15,600
But before Tori takes one or two for the team, Grant wants to find out the muzzle velocity of a paintball.

88
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Nice! There you go.

89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Alright, it's 192 feet per second.

90
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Yeah, the slowest 9mm load they have is 1,250 feet per second.

91
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,600
So a paintball is traveling at less than one-fifth the velocity of a speeding bullet.

92
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,600
Well, that's good news for Tori, because he has less than one-fifth the ability of a ninja.

93
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,600
Come on, hit me!

94
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,600
But almost immediately, it's obvious that Tori is no ninja.

95
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,600
If these were real bullets, he'd be dead.

96
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,600
That's not for science, is it? That's just for you.

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,600
I take your bullets!

98
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,600
Okay, go. Got it!

99
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,600
After a barrage of paintballs, Tori finally manages to deflect one.

100
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,600
Blinken, you'll miss it. Luckily, there's the high speed.

101
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Tori hits the paintball with the heel of his hand, slapping it away from his body, and his hand is injury-free.

102
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Yeah! I got it!

103
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Now we can stop!

104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,600
You did get it.

105
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,600
Tori's battered and bruised, but he's proven that a regular person can deflect a paintball.

106
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,600
So maybe the fans are right, and super-sharp ninja can deflect a 9mm.

107
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Okay, well, I think it's time to do this for real.

108
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,600
We set up the robot, take this to the firing range, and see what we get.

109
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,600
With a real ninja unavailable, Grant goes for the next best thing. A robot.

110
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,600
So our ninja sword-catching rig has done its duty.

111
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:57,600
So we're going to take the clapping rig, take off some of the actuators, and switch it over so it can now deflect bullets.

112
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,600
While Grant retools his robot, Carrie gets hands-on.

113
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,600
For our bullet-deflecting rig, we're going to need some flat hands so that we can slap the bullets away in ninja style.

114
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Luckily, I've already made some molds with flat hands for the catching of the sword rig.

115
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Now, just had to pour up another set, and we can adjust our machine accordingly.

116
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Many hands make light work, and the so-called SWAT bot is up and slapping in no time.

117
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Carrie calibrates it to human speed, and Grant gets trigger-happy.

118
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:35,600
So, first step is to take the rest, fix it to my little base, and I'm going to line up the pneumatic cylinder,

119
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:43,600
and make sure that that's actually able to fire the trigger, hook that up to a valve, get an air tank, and then we're ready to fire.

120
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:49,600
For this myth, it'll be bot against bullet, assassin versus ammunition.

121
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,600
And with everything ready, it's off to the range.

122
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,600
We're set up for the whole ninja myth, can you swat a bullet with your hand?

123
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600
We have our gun 20 yards down the range, set up on a trigger.

124
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,600
We hit that trigger there, that'll set off this timer, which will actuate our arm and bring the arm down towards the bullet.

125
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,600
This way we'll be able to see if you can, in fact, swat a bullet with your hand.

126
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,600
Alright, test number one, 20 yards away, slowest 9mm round we can find, ninja at human speed.

127
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,600
With zero delay.

128
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600
In three, two, one.

129
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600
That was so far behind.

130
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,600
That was really slow.

131
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
The swat bot missed the bullet, so the team resets.

132
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,600
And that's when things go off target.

133
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:40,600
Every time they take a shot, the gun fires in a different place.

134
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,600
The hardest thing that we've had to face today is the fact that our gun seems to be moving.

135
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,600
We can't fire in the same place twice.

136
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,600
So we're going to take all of our problems home with us, come back tomorrow, everything will be perfect.

137
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Later, the boys go bad to beat the speed camera.

138
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,600
But first, action man Adam takes the plunge.

139
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,600
I can't believe that this is my job.

140
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,600
Now a little while back, Adam went all rockstar on us and drove a car into a pool.

141
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,600
The Mythbusters tested a bunch of techniques for escaping a suddenly submerged vehicle.

142
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,600
From door barging.

143
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,600
That's intense.

144
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600
No matter how you slice it.

145
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600
To finding that window of opportunity.

146
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:37,600
So for myth evolution, we're returning to the pool for another underwater escape.

147
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,600
Straight from the movies.

148
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
What did we get wrong on underwater car?

149
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,600
For once, nothing at all.

150
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,600
It's just something I saw in the movies that I wanted to go back and try.

151
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600
What I've seen is our hero goes over the bridge and into the water.

152
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,600
And the bad guys are at the surface waiting to shoot him when he comes up.

153
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Knowing this, while underwater he swims over to the tire and breathes from it long enough for the bad guys to be sure that he's dead and go away.

154
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,600
Huh.

155
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Picture the scene.

156
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Our hero's been hotly pursued by gun-toting baddies.

157
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,600
His car winds up in the drink.

158
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Knowing that the bad guys are waiting at the surface, our resourceful star opens a tire valve and breathes the air until the bad guys pack up and leave.

159
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,600
But is this just Hollywood hot air or can it be dust?

160
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,600
And for Adam to put his action hero ambitions to the test, it's back to the Campolindo High School Pool.

161
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,600
While the team sets up, Adam runs through the game plan.

162
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:56,600
If I can stay down for at least two minutes, hopefully my goal is two and a half minutes, then we know that I have achieved exactly in real life what you've seen the action heroes do in the movies.

163
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,600
While Adam's playing stuntman, Jamie's in charge of safety yet again.

164
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,600
My role in this is going to be to simply sit in the car and make sure that Adam's safe until he gets out of the car.

165
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,600
At which point the other safety divers will take over and make sure that nothing happens to Adam.

166
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,600
Jamie puts on the second skin his people have worn for centuries to fight off the desert people.

167
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:26,600
With Jamie suited up, everything's ready for Adam's action hero heroics.

168
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Here we go, we're going up.

169
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Adam cites himself up to take the plunge.

170
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Once under, he must remain calm and composed.

171
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,600
I can't believe that this is my job.

172
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,600
On Jess's signal, the crane lowers and wheels touch water.

173
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,600
Okay, we're going down.

174
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,600
There's that familiar sound.

175
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,600
As the car sinks, Adam gulps one last lung full and he's under.

176
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600
He stays zen as the car settles.

177
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Soon the pressure equalizes and Adam hops out, so far so good.

178
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,600
And now comes the tricky part.

179
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Can Adam breathe from the tire to stay under until the baddies have left?

180
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Adam gulps the bubbles as they rush past his face, but he's in over his head and soon grasping for the emergency air.

181
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
I didn't do it.

182
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:29,600
When I caught some water on that first breath, I tried it again and at that point I just didn't feel like I was going to get anything,

183
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,600
so I went through the safety diver and his oxygen.

184
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,600
The air is not the problem, it's the water that goes along with it.

185
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,600
So how do you actually sift that out without choking?

186
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Now, if you've got a choice of either making do with that air or die from somebody shooting you on the surface,

187
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,600
you might figure something out, I'm not sure, but so far it looks kind of dodgy to me.

188
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Maybe, but the mythbusters have never let kind of dodgy sink their schemes.

189
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Before we call this one totally busted, although it seems pretty unlikely to me,

190
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600
I'd like to give it one more try.

191
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,600
And who are we to deny you Adam?

192
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,600
The Sodden Sedans raised for another dunking.

193
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,600
This time Adam's going to stab the tire with a knife.

194
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Why that's going to do any better than the Schrader valve that's built into it, I'm not sure,

195
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,600
but we have to try all our options.

196
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,600
Here we go again.

197
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,600
Adam's going under once more and this time he's armed.

198
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:32,600
By the time Adam punches the tire with his pocket knife, he's been holding his breath for more than a minute forty.

199
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,600
This time air surges from the slash.

200
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Adam tries several times to inhale, even turning down the emergency air for one last gasp attempt.

201
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,600
I was calm as a cucumber man.

202
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,600
I had plenty of time, stabbed the tire, got plenty of air coming out, breathing out of that.

203
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600
It's just really difficult.

204
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,600
I could get a little, you know, not a lip lock, but I could get air coming in.

205
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,600
When I just kept on getting water, there was no way I wasn't getting water in there.

206
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Given that I couldn't take a really deep breath.

207
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,600
And these were ideal conditions.

208
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,600
If this happened in real life, your car would most likely be at the bottom of a river or a lake,

209
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
not a crystal clear swimming pool.

210
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,600
It's going to be dark, the visibility is going to be crap, the car might be upside down,

211
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600
your heart's going to be pounding, you're going to have a bloody face.

212
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600
We got to call this one busted.

213
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Yeah, it's myth busted.

214
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,600
After the break, Buster hits the hot seat.

215
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600
He punched himself in the face.

216
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Recently for lockpick of death, the team went all grand theft auto.

217
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Breaking into cars for science.

218
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,600
You getting frustrated?

219
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,600
Frustration.

220
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Yeah.

221
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,600
They busted the myth that an airbag detonation could launch a lockpick deep into your skull.

222
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,600
Oh, that is it.

223
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
It's a very big flood.

224
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,600
And once that one went to air, the fan site exploded with another airbag myth.

225
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,600
So for myth evolution, here it is.

226
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,600
When you guys were in driving school, did you learn the 10 and 2 position?

227
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,600
Yeah, so hands on the steering wheel, 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock.

228
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,600
Yeah.

229
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,600
I thought that was just regulation.

230
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,600
Apparently they don't even teach it anymore.

231
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Why not?

232
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Well, the myth is, it's because that position puts your thumbs in peril.

233
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
If an airbag deploys, it can blow your thumbs clean off.

234
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Sweet, that sounds dangerous.

235
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,600
It seems like kid stuff.

236
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,600
10 and 2 is the steering position we've all been taught.

237
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:47,600
However, with the advent of airbags, driving instructors say it puts your thumbs in peril.

238
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,600
So is this a bum steer?

239
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600
Or could an airbag explosion really take your thumbs with it?

240
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Sounds like a blast.

241
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,600
They're going to put Buster in the driver's seat, give him flexible arms with the listics gel hands,

242
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,600
and fit the steering wheel with an airbag that the team can automatically trigger.

243
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,600
So while Carrie gets to grips with the rig, Tari gives Buster a hand.

244
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,600
With this whole myth, we're testing to see if the airbags go off and your thumbs are in front of it.

245
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Will they break your thumbs?

246
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,600
If we just use the ballistics material, it's just rubber, it's going to bend back.

247
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,600
So what we need to do is put the fake bones inside there to see if, in fact, they will break your bones.

248
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,600
That way, there can be no bone of contention.

249
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600
The earth aim bones are now in position inside the hand mold.

250
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,600
So what I'm going to do is let that finish setting up,

251
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600
and then I'm going to pour in the ballistics material to surround the bones.

252
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,600
While the hands get set, Tari gets stuck into casting his arms for Buster.

253
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600
I'm just getting concerned that I can't get these off.

254
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,600
Wouldn't it be funny if you broke your arm trying to get a cast off?

255
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,600
No.

256
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Yeah, that would be ironic.

257
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:01,600
All that's left to do is add the hands, screw the arms onto Buster, and he'll be ready to hit the road.

258
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Well, almost.

259
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,600
The final thing is to, well, set off the airbags.

260
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:13,600
But before we get to doing that, I'm going to run some extension wires all the way out to behind the blast shield.

261
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:19,600
The reason is that the airbags are explosive, so we don't want to be anywhere near here when we set them on.

262
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,600
The hands are in place.

263
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,600
The rig is primed, and it's time for some myth evolution airbag action.

264
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Are you sure you got the two right wires hooked up?

265
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Well, either it's going to set off the airbag, or it's going to signal a left turn.

266
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Either way, it should be exciting.

267
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Here we go.

268
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Three, two, one.

269
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,600
Whoa!

270
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,600
Blew the hands right off the wheel.

271
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,600
It sure did, but did it blow the thumbs off the hands?

272
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,600
The thumbs are still on, though.

273
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,600
Check that one.

274
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,600
Yeah.

275
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,600
Yeah, that's still connected.

276
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,600
The arm got torn off, but it looked like the airbag deployed like this and then pushed the arms out,

277
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,600
but the thumbs were not in harm's way.

278
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,600
They just let go.

279
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,600
Well, you know, these thumbs are tucked under, and I know sometimes I drive like this,

280
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,600
so maybe we should make a mold of this position.

281
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Alright, and that way at least we'll have the thumbs in, hopefully close to the path where the airbag's going to shoot out.

282
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:31,600
Maybe if the thumbs stick out like a, well, like a sore thumb, they'll have a better shot of this myth.

283
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Here we go.

284
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600
In three, two, one.

285
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Whoa!

286
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,600
What was that?

287
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
That looked pretty violent.

288
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Pretty violent indeed, but did the thumbs hitch a ride with the airbag?

289
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,600
The thumbs are still on.

290
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Yeah, they're not ripped off.

291
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,600
I looked at the high speed and it's clear the thumbs were going nowhere.

292
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,600
He's kind of pushed his arms off, though, but it's not ripping any thumbs off.

293
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:04,600
So far, no thumb busting, but the team isn't giving this myth the thumbs down just yet.

294
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,600
This may be myth evolution, but we've got one cheeky revisit, so here it is.

295
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Personally, I am glad to be doing speed camera again.

296
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,600
Why?

297
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,600
Well, last time I got to drive a $280,000 sports car at 120 miles an hour.

298
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Dude, I will take any excuse to do that again.

299
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Oh, hold your horsepower there, buddy.

300
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,600
The fans had huge problems with how we tested the speed camera.

301
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Okay, sorry.

302
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,600
What were their problems?

303
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speed and the camera.

304
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,600
Previously, the team tried a whole raft of crafty ways to beat the speed camera.

305
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,600
They put plate blockers to the test.

306
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Kling wrap, hairspray, and the commercial products just couldn't disguise the plane.

307
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,600
They blockers zip speed camera four.

308
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,600
And the team didn't stop there.

309
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,600
They tried beating the camera with pure speed.

310
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,600
There's no way you can beat the speed camera, no matter how fast you're going.

311
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,600
However, the fans think they got it completely wrong.

312
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,600
And to get this revisit on the road, they're heading back to the track.

313
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
How's it going, Adam? Good to see you again.

314
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,600
And speed camera expert Adam Tutan is here to keep an eye on the ticket tally.

315
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,600
I guess we have some fan dissatisfaction with the previous speed camera test.

316
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:29,600
The fans say that we made so many mistakes that we had to make a list to tackle them one by one.

317
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,600
And at the top of the list of complaints was the tripod.

318
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Hey, Adam. So this rig is one of the things that fans had a real problem with.

319
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,600
They rode in and said that these things aren't mounted on tripods in the field.

320
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,600
Well, they're wrong and they're right.

321
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,600
There are tripods, there are pole mounted units, and vehicle mounted units.

322
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,600
Now, one of the other things they had a problem with was they thought that the camera we were using

323
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,600
was a much higher quality or higher resolution than the cameras that are used in the field.

324
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,600
That's not so. We use the same camera regardless of the application.

325
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,600
But what about the height of the camera for the plate blockers?

326
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:10,600
So the third thing the fans had a problem with was they said our camera was mounted too low for the plate blockers to work effectively.

327
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,600
Whether you mounted at five or ten feet, it's not going to have any effect.

328
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,600
The speed camera is a full ten feet off the ground, just like a pole mounted camera.

329
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,600
I know this looks like I'm sitting in a boom lift, but in fact, this is a pole mounted speed camera.

330
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:32,600
This is our answer to the fans who said that we screwed it up last time, that a camera five feet off the ground wasn't regulation.

331
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,600
It was.

332
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,600
It looks just like the real thing.

333
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,600
Imagine the boom lift isn't there.

334
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,600
So, what's up first?

335
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600
Well, I guess I'll go ahead and put the magnifying plate on.

336
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,600
All right.

337
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Wait a second.

338
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,600
Yeah, I see what you're about to say.

339
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,600
If I come down here, I can see it.

340
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,600
Yeah, from here it's perfect.

341
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,600
Well, maybe the fans are onto something.

342
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,600
I mean, it does make it worse if you're looking at it at an angle.

343
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Well, there's only one way to find out.

344
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Right.

345
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Here's your motivation.

346
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:12,600
You've just robbed a bank and you've ought to get away so you put a plate blocker on your license plate so you'll get away, escape all the cameras.

347
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Are you ready?

348
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,600
I'm ready.

349
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,600
Go for it.

350
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,600
Jamie makes his getaway and the Adams family prepare for test number one.

351
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,600
All right, Adam, are you ready for the first test?

352
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,600
We're ready to roll.

353
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,600
Excellent.

354
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:35,600
Jamie puts the pedal to the metal, but did the speed cameras higher vantage point make it harder to decipher the license plate?

355
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,600
So, Adam, what's the verdict?

356
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Ticket.

357
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,600
Same as last time.

358
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Really?

359
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,600
Yep.

360
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Can you see all the letters?

361
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,600
You can see all and partial of the last.

362
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,600
Half of the last one.

363
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,600
Well, they're definitely still going to find you, and that's a ticket.

364
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,600
I think so.

365
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Let's move on to the next one.

366
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600
There's no doubt about it.

367
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Jamie's got a ticket.

368
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Even with the camera at 10 feet as the fans demanded, the magnifying plate is still busted.

369
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,600
Well, I hope that's the last we see of this one.

370
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,600
And next, glitter plate.

371
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,600
It's not just a disco my ride accessory.

372
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Apparently, the tiny particles in the plate reflect the camera flash, obscuring the license details.

373
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,600
But according to the fans, it only works if the speed camera is pole mounted.

374
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Jamie, we are good to go for the glitter plate.

375
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,600
On your mark, over.

376
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,600
The glitter plate brings a new meaning to drag racing.

377
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,600
And sure enough, the speed camera triggers.

378
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,600
All right, so what's the verdict on the glitter plate?

379
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Ticket.

380
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,600
A ticket?

381
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,600
You're kidding.

382
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,600
That's shocking.

383
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,600
This is earth-shattering news.

384
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,600
Well, Jamie, the glitter plate is a ticket, so come on back.

385
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600
We've got one more consumer-level thing to try over.

386
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,600
That's two for two.

387
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,600
So far, pole mounting the camera has made no difference to the plate blockers.

388
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,600
All right, next step.

389
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,600
Remember the commercial spray?

390
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Didn't work.

391
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,600
We're going to try it again.

392
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Spray.

393
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:09,600
According to the instructions, just one application of the commercial spray, and you can go incognito.

394
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Jamie, we are good for the commercial spray speed test.

395
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Bring it on when you want.

396
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:21,600
Jamie zooms past the speed camera, but has the spray concealed his identity?

397
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,600
Adam, what's the verdict?

398
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,600
He's shooting blanks.

399
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,600
Ticket.

400
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,600
No!

401
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,600
And once again, the plate is picture perfect.

402
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,600
How'd we do it?

403
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,600
That was pretty definitive.

404
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,600
All three of our commercial products failed completely the second time in a row.

405
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,600
There was no difference between the camera mounted at five feet and the camera mounted at ten feet.

406
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,600
Second time around, even with the pole mounted speed camera, the results are the same.

407
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Plate blockers are still busted, but we're not done with the speed camera just yet.

408
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,600
The guys have a secret weapon up their sleeves.

409
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,600
Soon, can a ninja defeat a nine millimeter?

410
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Hey, don't try what you're about to see at home.

411
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,600
We're what you call experts.

412
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,600
That's right.

413
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,600
We do this for a living.

414
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,600
So how's this myth evolving?

415
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Well, the fans think that tattoos aren't the only things that will explode in the MRI.

416
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,600
What else?

417
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,600
The ARFID implants.

418
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,600
Oh, radio frequency identification devices.

419
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Like they put my dog when I took him to the vet.

420
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,600
Yeah, but they're now starting to put him into people.

421
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Seriously?

422
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Yeah, they're talking about in the future putting him in soldiers as like digital dog tags.

423
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,600
But right now the FDA is approving to put him into patients for medical records.

424
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Actually, that makes sense.

425
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,600
I mean, let's say someone's unconscious and they get into the emergency room.

426
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,600
You could just scan them and find out their blood type or if they have any allergies.

427
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Exactly.

428
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,600
So our fans think that they explode in the MRI.

429
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Well, unlike the tattoos, there's metal in the ARFIDs.

430
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,600
So there is a possibility that it could get pulled out or even explode.

431
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Cool.

432
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,600
Cool.

433
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,600
Yeah.

434
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,600
So before the team implant an RFID tag into a non-lucky volunteer

435
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,600
and scan them with an MRI to see if the implant explodes,

436
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:41,600
let's find out more about this new and booming technology from expert Ron Godovic.

437
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,600
Radio frequency ID is a technology that uses a reader that sends out a signal to a tag

438
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,600
and that tag actually reacts to that reader and sends back information about whatever the tag is on.

439
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,600
So an object or a myth buster that you want to identify is stuck with an RFID tag,

440
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,600
which contains a microchip and antenna.

441
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Then using radio waves, a reader can remotely detect and retrieve the information on the chip.

442
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,600
People are having these implanted in them?

443
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,600
Well, there has been several case studies now where there's a few hundred people out there

444
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:26,600
who have had RFIDs implanted in them that will allow medical professionals to read information on their health.

445
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Q. Tori Bellaci, MD.

446
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Can you prepare a patient?

447
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600
And his able assistant, nurse Imahara.

448
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Marking pen.

449
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,600
Marking pen.

450
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Iodine swab.

451
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,600
Iodine swab.

452
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,600
Syringe.

453
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Syringe.

454
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,600
The RFID tag to be inserted in Porkey, the unfortunate pig.

455
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,600
So now what we're going to do is we're going to insert the chip.

456
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,600
Comes from Verichip, a company on the cutting edge of these human implants.

457
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Searching for chip.

458
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,600
And we got it.

459
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,600
Hey, we found it.

460
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,600
You know, this is my first surgery ever and I feel like it went pretty well.

461
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,600
I didn't even go to med school either.

462
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,600
All we have to do now is take it to the MRI and see if this thing explodes or gets ripped out of the skin.

463
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Carrie, having recently injured her knee, which required an MRI scan, has found the perfect location for this test.

464
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,600
3T MRI.

465
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Where Dr. Priest is allowing the team access to a state-of-the-art MRI scanner.

466
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,600
And with Porkey the pig in position, this is the moment of truth.

467
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,600
See that black spot in the middle?

468
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,600
That's the chip.

469
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,600
That's the chip.

470
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,600
Will the RFID tag explode or be ripped out by the MRI's massive magnet?

471
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,600
Or will it be the myth that's busted?

472
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,600
Porkey's been in there for about 10 minutes.

473
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,600
I haven't seen any movement and there definitely wasn't an explosion.

474
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,600
With no sign of the ham going blam, the conclusion is obvious.

475
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:55,600
Let's see how someone would think that if you have this RFID chip and you subject it to a strong electromagnetic field

476
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:01,600
where it says no loose metal objects, that someone would think maybe it would explode.

477
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,600
It's a glass capsule the size of a grain of rice and it does contain metal.

478
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,600
We've done the test.

479
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600
No explosion and no ripping out.

480
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Hey!

481
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,600
And it works.

482
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,600
Found it.

483
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,600
Alright, didn't damage it.

484
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,600
The chip came through unscathed but the guys aren't ready to call it just yet.

485
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,600
In order to test this right we need to put it in a real person to see if there's any movement.

486
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,600
If the person feels any movement or they feel any heat.

487
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:27,600
Yeah, got a point.

488
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,600
Any takers?

489
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Dr. Belayche and nurse Imahara chickened out so it's all down to Carrie.

490
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,600
After the anesthetic is administered, Dr. Priest inserts the RFID tag.

491
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,600
With this implant, medical personnel will be able to remotely access Carrie's healthcare history.

492
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,600
I feel so sci-fi.

493
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,600
But will that history include an arm lost in a science experiment?

494
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,600
Two days later, Carrie's arm is healed.

495
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Alright, blow me up, doc.

496
00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:00,600
And back at 3T MRI, Tori is predicting he'll soon have a one-armed colleague.

497
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,600
So we're back, we have Carrie's chip and planet, now we're going to stick her in the MRI and we're going to see what's going to happen.

498
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,600
My feeling is it's probably going to explode and she's going to lose her arm.

499
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,600
I can't wait to see that.

500
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,600
Despite Tori's concerns, Carrie is soon prepped and ready.

501
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,600
And with the scan underway, Grant gets on the intercom to see how it's going.

502
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Do you feel anything in your arm?

503
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,600
I'm trying to concentrate on that, I don't feel any movement.

504
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,600
And that's the nail in the coffin of this myth.

505
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,600
Carrie emerges with two arms and the chip's still in place and in working order.

506
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Alright sci-fi girl, how do you feel about this myth?

507
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,600
I think it's busted.

508
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,600
I agree it's busted. And MRI is not going to cause your ARFID implant to explode.

509
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Mind you, we did use ARFIDs that were made for human implantation.

510
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,600
If you were crazy enough to cut the one out of your credit card and possibly implant it, maybe it would work then.

511
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,600
You know what though, there's a lot of conspiracy theories around these ARFIDs.

512
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,600
Like can you steal someone's credit card information, can you track people?

513
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,600
I mean we should test these too.

514
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,600
Look, I think we're already on enough government watch lists. Let's just let this one go.

515
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
I think I agree.

516
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:20,600
The team has been testing the thumb ripping yarn that an exploding airbag could sever your thumbs.

517
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,600
And so far, it's airbag zero thumbs two.

518
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,600
Well, this myth is looking pretty busted so far.

519
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:35,600
I mean we've tried it with the thumbs tucked under and the thumbs pointed out and so far, no damage.

520
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Well when those airbags go off, all it's doing is pulling the arms apart and causing the hands to release.

521
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Those thumbs aren't even in the path of the airbags.

522
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:50,600
Well you know when I was doing a little research for this myth, I came across this article where a woman who was holding her steering wheel

523
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:57,600
sort of like that had her thumbs directly over the airbag and when it deployed, it nearly severed her thumbs off.

524
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,600
So she was holding the steering wheel like this?

525
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,600
That doesn't seem very logical.

526
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:11,600
Okay, well I'm going to go ahead and make a mold of your hand in that position and we'll test that one out too.

527
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Now that's an enterprising idea.

528
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:23,600
Because Tori is so very handy, and with the miracle of television, in the blink of an eye Buster has another set of hands.

529
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:32,600
This new hand position places the thumb right over the airbag so that the seam of the airbag goes sort of like the right past the thumb.

530
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:40,600
I think this is the only chance we have at getting the severed thumb that was all thought to be for the 10 and 2 position.

531
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,600
So with the new hands in the new position, will the thumbs live long and prosper?

532
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,600
Buster with hands in the universal Vulcan greeting.

533
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,600
In 3, 2, 1.

534
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,600
Whoa!

535
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,600
Mmm, violent.

536
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,600
The team goes in for a closer look and this time there's some thumb damage.

537
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,600
You know what, it broke?

538
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,600
The urethane bone and it's kind of ripped the thumb a little bit here.

539
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,600
It didn't rip it off but it's torn it back. Ouch!

540
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,600
A closer look at the high speed and it's obvious the thumbs took the full force of the airbag.

541
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Oh, look at that. That totally bent that thumb backwards.

542
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:31,600
The airbag, the plastic part, that sharp edge goes right like that. It cuts into the thumb.

543
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:39,600
Yeah. I would at least say that's probably going to be a broken thumb because that's not the real regular position for a thumb to be in.

544
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Buster's got some broken thumbs but what does that mean for the myth?

545
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Also it turns out, hold your thumbs directly over the airbag and you sustain more damage.

546
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:57,600
I think surprise but that's not the 10-2 position and that's what this myth's about and so this one's still Buster.

547
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Coming up, the fastest thing on 4 wheels.

548
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,600
There's a satellite radio, there's a compulter. This is very primitive.

549
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600
And the team hits assassin against ammunition.

550
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,600
We killed the ninja!

551
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:18,600
For myth evolution, the ninja is making a comeback.

552
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,600
The myth goes that a modern ninja can use his bare palm to deflect a speeding bullet.

553
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,600
So could the shadow warrior slap a slap?

554
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,600
To find out, the team are back at the range for Ninja vs. 9mm.

555
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Wait a fire?

556
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,600
Okay.

557
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,600
Swatting test in 3, 2, 1.

558
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,600
Whoops! A little slow.

559
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Okay, that's okay.

560
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,600
Just a little slow but that's good.

561
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:51,600
The bullet was on target but the ninja's SWAT bot just wasn't quick enough to slap the slug.

562
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,600
So Grant gives the bot a boost.

563
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,600
The hand is still too slow.

564
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:02,600
So we're going to up the PSI and this is way beyond reality now but it's still way beyond reality.

565
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,600
And this is way beyond reality now but it's all about slapping the bullet.

566
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,600
At 55 PSI, the arm will swing at more than twice human speed.

567
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,600
And to make sure the SWAT bot doesn't jump the gun, they'll have to delay.

568
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,600
Here we go. In 3, 2, 1.

569
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,600
We killed the ninja! Ninja down!

570
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Something happened!

571
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,600
The ninja is down but did the bot slap the bullet first?

572
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,600
You know what we did hit the hand but what's interesting is the bullet still landed in the area where it's been hitting on the target.

573
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,600
As if it hasn't been deflected at all, it just went straight through the hand.

574
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,600
Exactly.

575
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,600
It's the shot that broke the ninja's back but the hand swung too early to slap the bullet.

576
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,600
For the next test, Grant dials in the timer.

577
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,600
In 3, 2, 1.

578
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:01,600
I think something might have happened. That looks like a really strange big splatter.

579
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,600
Was it third time lucky? Did the SWAT bot slap the bullet?

580
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,600
Oh!

581
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,600
Oh look! Right there!

582
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,600
That is so it!

583
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,600
We have a perfect skim right across the meaty part of the hand. We definitely slapped the bullet.

584
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,600
Yeah but look, there's a big hole in this ninja.

585
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,600
So this ninja is still dead and it didn't deflect the bullet at all.

586
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600
One dead ninja! I think that says something right there!

587
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:34,600
The palm slapped the slut but the hand couldn't make the bullet deviate from its deadly trajectory.

588
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,600
One moment the bullet is skimming the palm, the next it's in the ninja.

589
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,600
You know what, as much as I love ninjas, this one's totally busted.

590
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,600
I mean there's just no way you can swat a bullet with your hand.

591
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,600
I don't know but something tells me the fans are not going to be happy that we busted this without a real ninja.

592
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Okay fine, then here's an open invitation.

593
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:00,600
If you happen to be a ninja and you can swat away a bullet with your bare hand, please come down to MythBusters and we'll put you on TV.

594
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,600
That would be cool, we could like shoot at them and see if they can swat the bullets.

595
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,600
No, that's a bad idea. That's a very bad idea.

596
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:30,600
And for the grand Myth Evolution finale, it's on your marks, jet set, go!

597
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,600
Dude, that was like getting punched in the chest!

598
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,600
It's Myth Evolution and the boys have been revisiting Beat the Speed camera.

599
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
They busted the plate blockers once again.

600
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,600
But there's still one problem that the fans won't address and that is speed.

601
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,600
We're still getting mail that says you can beat the speed camera through speed alone.

602
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Yeah, I heard that a car show in the UK did it.

603
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Yeah, they did it at 180 miles per hour.

604
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,600
Wow.

605
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600
Yeah, but the law in the US and the UK is different.

606
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:12,600
In the UK, the cameras required to take two pictures of the car in order to issue a ticket.

607
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:19,600
Nope, here in the US you only need one photo and so that actually makes it harder to beat the speed camera with speed alone.

608
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Yeah, apparently the camera that we're using has been tested to speeds up to 200 miles per hour successfully.

609
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,600
Where are we going to get a car that goes over 200 miles an hour?

610
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,600
I wonder.

611
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Fortunately, the team don't have to look very far.

612
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Introducing the Beast.

613
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,600
Weighing in at 2400 pounds at it over 19 feet long.

614
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
This is no ordinary car.

615
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:50,600
This beast can reach speeds of up to 300 miles per hour.

616
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,600
This thing is beautiful.

617
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,600
I think I'm going to cry.

618
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,600
It's an engine with a chair on it.

619
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,600
It is, it's, it's, yeah.

620
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,600
The wheels are kind of like beside the point.

621
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Totally ancillary.

622
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,600
And the man in the helmet is Jeff Atanian.

623
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:12,600
With over 30 years of drag racing experience, he's the right man with the perfect car.

624
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,600
If anything can beat the speed camera with speed, this is it.

625
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,600
The beast is in position and the speed camera is set.

626
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Gentlemen, start your jet engines.

627
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,600
I think he's got a warm up.

628
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Oh, whoa, here.

629
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,600
There you go.

630
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:40,600
The beast hurdles down the strip, only slowing once its two 16 foot parachutes are deployed.

631
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Dude, that was like getting punched in the chest.

632
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,600
Oh my God, I can't wait to find out if that was a ticket.

633
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,600
It's the moment of truth.

634
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,600
No picture.

635
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,600
No picture.

636
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,600
No.

637
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:56,600
So the car didn't trip the camera.

638
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,600
That means there's no ticket.

639
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,600
No ticket.

640
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,600
No ticket.

641
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,600
We found the speed.

642
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:08,600
So the system was working properly, but the car was going too fast for the sensors to pick it up.

643
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,600
There was not enough to trigger the camera.

644
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:17,600
So there you have it, a massive 245 miles an hour and you can beat the speed camera.

645
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Something tells me though there'd be a lot of other signs that someone was breaking the speed limit.

646
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:28,600
I don't know, the broken windows in the neighborhood, all the people with hearing damage bleeding from their ears, running to the hospital.

647
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,600
Let's see all the houses on fire.

648
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:38,600
Something tells me, and when you came upon a car like the beast, you'd think, this is a likely candidate.

649
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:47,600
A likely candidate indeed, but unfortunately a jet-propelled car does have its drawbacks.

650
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,600
But as a satellite radio, as a comp holder, this is very primitive.

651
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,600
It may be primitive, but it got away scot-free.

652
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,600
Although Adam Tuton is still thinking he can catch it.

653
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,600
With a few tweaks to the camera, will he be able to book the beast?

654
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,600
Time for take two.

655
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Wow!

656
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:10,600
That's on purpose.

657
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,600
That's what's supposed to happen.

658
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,600
Jeff unleashes the beast once again.

659
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,600
I swear he was going faster that time.

660
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,600
I think so.

661
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,600
I feel like it's going to be even faster.

662
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,600
It probably was, but we'll never know for sure.

663
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,600
Unfortunately for Adam Tuton,

664
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,600
No picture, no ticket, end of story.

665
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,600
The speed camera missed the beast entirely.

666
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:48,600
That thing was going so fast, that beast thing there, that it was in and out of the range of the camera before it knew what was going on.

667
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,600
It was like it wasn't there.

668
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,600
Practically speaking, of course it's not happening.

669
00:41:52,600 --> 00:42:01,600
You're not driving a car with a rocket engine or a jet engine or, you know, afterburners or anything like that on the highway.

670
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,600
So, you might as well forget about it, but it is possible.

671
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,600
Pure raw, unadulterated speed.

672
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,600
Rocket power, jet power, and possibly loud speed.

673
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,600
Yeah, give or take two, three hundred miles an hour, you can be speed camera.

674
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,600
Yeah, however ungainly the solution is, we made it happen.

675
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:26,600
I think our work here is done.

676
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:27,600
Okay, let's get out of here.

677
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,600
You guys, the beast was amazing.

678
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Yeah, but can you even call that a car?

679
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,600
Well, it did have four wheels and a driver.

680
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,600
Yeah, but I think our fans are going to have something to say about that.

681
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,600
At least this time, I don't think they can say that we didn't give it our best.

682
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,600
You know what though, I bet a lot of the fans are coming up with new myths about speed just so they can see that beast one more time.

683
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,600
Yeah, well, if you've got any ideas for us, you know the drill.

684
