1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
look like it but we're professionals do us a favor don't try this at home

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,720
on this episode of mythbusters

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,080
it's calamitous kitchen catastrophes

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,000
what could be wrong with my cooking

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,280
adam and janey pitch a glass of water into a grease fire inferno

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,520
to find out if it really throws up a 30-foot fireball

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320
I think we're gonna need a smaller scale

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,480
meanwhile Carrie Grant and Tori

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:33,320
alright we're hot

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,680
ask if a microwave can set off C4

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,760
explosions are guaranteed

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,360
then they sniff out weather cheese

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,840
the enemy's attacking

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,400
can ever be used as cannonballs

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,400
it's lethal people

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,400
who are the mythbusters

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Adam Savage

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,600
I feel perfectly normal

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,040
and Jamie Heineman

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,320
pain is your friend

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,640
between them more than 30 years of special effects experience

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
joining them

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Tori Balechi

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Grant Imahara

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,480
and Carrie Byron

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
they don't just tell them this

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,720
it didn't mess around

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:26,720
they put them to the test

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,080
kitchen catastrophes

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,080
that's our story

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000
actually a whole episode

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,800
and we're not talking just like fallen souffleys and burnt flans here

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,680
no these are real disasters

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,600
so what are we doing

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,680
well I'll give you a hint

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,680
you've got a source of ignition

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,760
you've got a fuel

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,480
think biodiesel

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,680
add to that the air that you breathe and you've got a grease fire

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,160
we're doing grease fires

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,760
more specifically the trying to extinguish a grease fire with a cup of water

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000
will cause a 30-foot fireball

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,880
that sounds genuinely tasty

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,360
let's dig in

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,080
grease fires are no laughing matter

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
every year they cost millions of dollars

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,280
and claim hundreds of lives

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,560
but are these facts and figures

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,320
fact or fiction

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,800
can it really be true that a mere eight ounces of water

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,640
poured over a grease blaze

52
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,640
will kick start a 30-foot fireball

53
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,480
or is it just a flash in the pan

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,400
always the costumes with you

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,880
I'm just dressed and ready for whatever the plan might be

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,960
what is it

57
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,040
we set up a stove

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,320
we set up a 30-foot scale behind it

59
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,760
we put oil on the stove

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,040
heat it until it burns

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,040
introduce eight ounces of water to it

62
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,240
and stand back

63
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,120
sounds great

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,800
let's do it

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,920
Adams in a hurry to light a fire under this myth

66
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,880
luckily they'll be under adult supervision

67
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
in our ongoing quest to get some quality playtime

68
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,280
with every single fire department

69
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,240
within a 50-mile radius of myth busters

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,640
we've come today

71
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,480
to the south San Francisco fire department's training facility

72
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
where they've agreed to let us set some grease fires

73
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,560
but before Adam fans the flames of his pyromania

74
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720
he's taking on his acrophobia

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,480
this is just as much fun as it looks

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,320
it's also as scary as it looks

77
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,600
three stories up

78
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640
he's setting up their homemade benchmark scale

79
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,200
this scale right here is 30 feet tall

80
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,600
and the myth says that we're supposed to get a fireball 30 feet tall

81
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,280
this will tell us if that's correct

82
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160
personally it strikes me as a little ambitious

83
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,520
it sure seems like a tall order

84
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,480
but the guys are cooking up their own version of this mythical kitchen catastrophe

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,640
and they've lined up all the ingredients

86
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880
so what we've got here is a frying pan full of two quarts of oil

87
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,880
we've got a thermistor to check how hot it's getting

88
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,000
we've got eight ounces of water to dump on it once we catch it on fire

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,160
and we've got a gauge to tell us if the fireball we get is in fact 30 feet tall

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,000
well there's only one way to find out

91
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,520
for the first of three oils canola it's flame on

92
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,480
we're good to go Adam

93
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,320
it's heating up fast

94
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,040
515 degrees and it's only been like six minutes

95
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,240
this is nice and fast

96
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,560
100 degrees later on and the canola reaches its flash point

97
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,960
the temperature at which it can start to burn

98
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
oh i saw a little bit of fire did you see that

99
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,120
we're past the flash point

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,600
but once it gets to 680 degrees it reaches a state called auto ignition

101
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,760
where it's going to burst into flame

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
and there's nothing anybody can do about it

103
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,680
600 and how much

104
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,120
645

105
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,440
oh we're close to the auto ignition point

106
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,120
and i see flame on it

107
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,440
all right i see that's a grease fire

108
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,160
yep that's a grease fire all right

109
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,280
and every fire safety rule in the land says

110
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,760
do not do what Adam's about to

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,480
but how bad can it really be

112
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200
all right canola oil putting out a grease fire in my kitchen

113
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,800
perhaps unwisely in three two one

114
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,480
wow

115
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,520
that was a hell of a thing

116
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,480
it was

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,920
proof if it was needed

118
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,920
grease is the word

119
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,320
i was a little surprised at how large the fire was

120
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,760
it came off of this

121
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,920
i'm glad we set this thing up remotely

122
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,680
because uh we would have had a problem

123
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
if we were doing it right next to the stove

124
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,800
sure it's a horrific fireball

125
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,880
but before we get too carried away

126
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,040
oh gosh

127
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,200
let's not forget

128
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760
the myth says with eight ounces of water

129
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,520
it should go 30 feet

130
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,480
well 15 feet

131
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,720
oh my god 20 feet

132
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,480
that's still 10 feet or 30 short

133
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:00,960
but the guys aren't done yet

134
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,680
a closer look at exactly what's going on

135
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,640
and you can see why this myth may just be possible

136
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,800
well that water went from you know room temperature

137
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,200
to all of a sudden the temperature of the oil

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,520
which was around 700 or 800 degrees

139
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,360
that means it turned to steam

140
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,520
now when water turns to steam

141
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,280
it expands up to around 1600 times the volume

142
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,720
that expansion was actually an explosion

143
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120
that exploded upward out of this pan

144
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,360
carrying all this oil along with it

145
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,440
and since everything's so hot

146
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,600
it all just becomes a big fireball

147
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,960
but will it be big enough

148
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,160
one thing's for sure

149
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720
the mythbusters are going to do everything they can

150
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,640
to push the feisty fireball to its utter limits

151
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,840
I guess you shouldn't do that

152
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,160
let's do it again

153
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,320
okay kitchen nightmares what do we got

154
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,600
first up we have a movie myth about a kitchen appliance disaster

155
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,040
go on

156
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880
all right so the movie is gross point blank

157
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,000
and in this famous scene a bad guy inside of a convenience store

158
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
throws a bomb inside of a microwave

159
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,440
now the bomb looks like some c4 with an electrical device attached to it

160
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560
he sticks it into the microwave turns it up to 60 seconds

161
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,520
yeah I know this myth

162
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,680
and the hero just manages to get out of the store

163
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,440
in time for the microwave to go ding

164
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,040
and then kaboom awesome

165
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
sounds like a recipe for disaster

166
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,280
but can a microwave really be used to set off an elaborately wired c4 bomb

167
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,960
and can it be set to detonate in exactly 60 seconds

168
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,160
okay so it sounds like all we need are some microwaves and plastic explosives and a date of the bomb

169
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,800
range

170
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560
I think we need to do three tests

171
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,880
first test c4 in the microwave alone

172
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,920
second test c4 with hollywood wires

173
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,040
hollywood wires

174
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,240
you know coils springs nothing genuine just like in the movies

175
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,000
yeah and then the third and final test would be c4 with a proper fuse

176
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,520
ah I love cooking with c4 my favorite ingredient

177
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,080
c4 cuisine is best enjoyed and is safest

178
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,920
down home on the bomb range

179
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920
now based on the words in the movie gross point blank we know a few things

180
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,760
first it's in a convenience store

181
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,520
second it's physical size

182
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480
and third it's power level which is a thousand watts

183
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,760
now we purposely avoided using modern inverter technology

184
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
and went old school which is what this baby is

185
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,800
in other words besides the color

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,680
all right we're hot

187
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,600
it's identical to the one in the film

188
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,280
now it's time to get serious

189
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,240
all right we need to set these microwaves off remotely so that no one gets hurt what do you have

190
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400
uh we got a bomb robot

191
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,840
I love those two words

192
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,360
bomb robot

193
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:54,000
robot tragic and battle bot champion grant is about to get a glimpse of geek heaven

194
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,120
I think it's 11th first site

195
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800
our friend welcome our new robotic overlords

196
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,800
while grant struggles with the drool control

197
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120
tori and carry do a little matchmaking

198
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,560
come on she'll like you

199
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:09,680
talk to her

200
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,880
hi nice actuator you have there

201
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,360
but enough of the robot romance please

202
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,640
she may be a looker

203
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,880
this is much better than pushing the button and running

204
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,000
absolutely

205
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,760
but is she any good in the kitchen

206
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,680
stop touching this

207
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,960
and luckily as well as the remarkable robot

208
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:37,200
the bomb squad also brought along today's other key explosive ingredient c4

209
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,760
this is c4 in its bulk form

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,720
it has an explosive called rdx contained inside of a plastic compound that keeps it stable

211
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,760
for example you could drop it you could shoot it with a gun

212
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,280
you could light it out of fire

213
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,080
but none of these things alone is enough to detonate it

214
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,920
we need the combination of intense heat

215
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,000
an incredible shock to get it to go off

216
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,960
it's gonna be very interesting to see what it will take

217
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,280
to get this to go off inside of a microwave

218
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000
that it will so watch the plan

219
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,920
for this kitchen nightmare myth

220
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,160
we have three tests to our experiment

221
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,080
number one the control test

222
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,360
now this is just a hunk of c4 in the microwave for 60 seconds

223
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,360
test two the hunk of c4

224
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,800
but with a hollywood wire system

225
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800
we're emulating exactly what we saw in the clip

226
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120
number three which is a hunk of c4

227
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,960
hollywood wires and a blasting cap

228
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,200
so maybe we can get that microwave to look a little like this car here

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,560
now microwaving c4 could make it unstable

230
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,800
so they've got a backup bang plan

231
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,120
now for these tests in case the c4 inside the microwave doesn't go off

232
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,680
we need to be able to render the situation safe

233
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,760
we have a container of water that we have c4 in

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,360
that we can set off from the bunker

235
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,040
now since the water is uncompressible

236
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,440
it'll shred this microwave completely

237
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080
so with the microwave the safety system

238
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
and the robot on standby

239
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,480
everything is set for test one

240
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240
c4 only for 60 seconds on full power

241
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,720
oh that's so great

242
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,560
bingo the robot starts the timer

243
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:11,840
and she's off to safety

244
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,080
retreat robot

245
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,880
but the robot retreat may not have been needed

246
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,960
since after a full minute there's a chronic lack of cooking action

247
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,400
so c4 on its own for 60 seconds is not going to detonate in the microwave

248
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,360
so i guess to make this safe we better backup blow it up

249
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,800
all right you ready

250
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
fire in the hole in three two one

251
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,600
whoa

252
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,000
now it's all safe

253
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,520
yep test ones are done

254
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,080
the only blast came courtesy of the failsafe

255
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,080
so will the movie prop wiring system cook the c4's goose

256
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,200
or is it just a half baked hollywood idea

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240
later on that looks so good

258
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800
can cheese really replace cannonballs

259
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,600
plus adam gives jaynie a surprise

260
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,560
the ultimate in grease fire extinguishers

261
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,520
you did

262
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,040
i did

263
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,840
not all kitchen fire should be doused with water

264
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,640
as adam and jaynie have just found out

265
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,320
oh my god 20 feet

266
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:38,080
but the myth they're testing says eight ounces of water can cause a 30 foot high inferno

267
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560
canola oil peaked at only 20

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
so next up it's peanut oil

269
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:50,080
so the auto ignition point of peanut oil is over 200 degrees hotter than the auto ignition point of

270
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:56,000
canola oil will that translate to a more energetic fireball that's even bigger than the last one

271
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,960
i don't know but my intuition says yes

272
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,360
once the peanut oil is heated to 850 degrees

273
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,560
it's time to put adam's intuition to the test

274
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,800
this is water poured on a peanut oil fire on your stove

275
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,920
in three two one

276
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,840
i've felt that from here yeah

277
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,800
that was 30 feet man i've watched it that was 30 feet

278
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,440
so i guess the myth is true it's time to go home

279
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
whoa there jayme not so fast

280
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,680
up she goes

281
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,280
are you sure

282
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,000
five feet

283
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,520
really really sure

284
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,160
15

285
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,880
that the actual fireball went up 30 feet

286
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,480
yeah i don't think that's quite 30 feet

287
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,800
yeah the smoke kind of got up that high but it looks to me like it's uh it's maybe 25 at best

288
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,480
maybe yeah it's more like 20

289
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,160
so let's meet today's third and final contestant

290
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,280
it's not only delicious and nutritious but it's flammable

291
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,720
sure lard has lots of great qualities lard

292
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,120
but is one of them fueling a 30-foot kitchen fireball

293
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,320
okay a seemingly harmless glass of water on a flaming pan of lard

294
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760
and three two one

295
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,400
that's a sizzle it's a nice try but no cigar

296
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,400
with no fireball reaching 30 feet the myth's looking a bit far-fetched

297
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,680
but rest assured the fireworks ain't over yet

298
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,600
no 30 feet i think we got a little more work to do

299
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,320
i think you're right

300
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,560
coming up next on mythbusters we're so crazy we're sticking c4 in a microwave to see if it'll

301
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,600
explode will it work you better come back to find out

302
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,040
two one then adam and jay be searched for bigger fireballs heats up

303
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,040
microwaves are a kitchen boon this frozen roast beef would require hours to defrost at room

304
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:29,360
temperature but can they also be a kitchen boom according to hollywood they can c4 with

305
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,520
one minute of full power is apparently a recipe for disaster

306
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,360
but when the guys tried it they got zipped and cari knows why

307
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,160
microwaves cook food by emitting radio waves at about 2.5 gigahertz now these radio waves have

308
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:53,760
two interesting properties one they are absorbed by water fat and sugar which converts into atomic

309
00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,480
motion which heats up the food two they are not absorbed by plastic glass or ceramics or at least

310
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:08,080
most of those now c4 is called a plastic explosive so c4 didn't actually even heat in the microwave

311
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,240
which means we didn't get either one of the criteria that you need for detonation for c4 which is

312
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:20,480
heat and shockwave so next up is hollywood wires the exact prop configuration used in the movie

313
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:27,280
got all the little parts here managed to identify them the design is unlike any known fuse system

314
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,880
just a block of c4 with a whole set of switches wires and even a nine-volt pattern here is that coil

315
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,960
but can this unusual wiring system really create a convenience store catastrophe

316
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,840
test two hollywood wires all right so we have the microwave set for 60 seconds all right time

317
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:54,800
to deploy the robot he loves saying that now the microwaves in an oven like this cycle more than

318
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:03,520
two billion times a second okay all right get that robot out of there run come on food easily

319
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:11,040
absorbs these waves but they create havoc with metal causing it to arc spark and generally go haywire

320
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:19,440
microwave is on fire oh geez oh my gosh you could say now they're really cooking

321
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:27,040
that is cool and all that c4 is just burning now as the timer counts down the flames go up

322
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,160
but amazingly there's still no explosion that's really cool that's definitely not what happened

323
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:38,400
in the movie though no talking about the kitchen nightmare there's plenty of fire in the hole but

324
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:49,680
no explosion at least not until the failsafe is triggered in three two one oh yeah it still works

325
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:59,040
yep the backup boom works a treat but the fuse system as used in the movie didn't set off the c4

326
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,680
in the oven but there's still one last option to test the c4 actually caught on fire but that's good

327
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:11,200
for the myth because if we have some kind of blasting cap with the fuse in there if the c4 catches

328
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,800
on fire it's going to light that fuse it potentially set off the c4 the only trouble is that neither

329
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:23,360
the mythbusters nor jd can spot a blasting cap in the movie scene but hey let's give the film the

330
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:27,520
benefit of the doubt this part of the experiment has me really exciting because we have the c4

331
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,120
burning and we have a blasting cap which could be set off by the fire which could set off the c4

332
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:41,200
which could give us boom and maybe maybe make the smith plausible now in a c4 explosion gases

333
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:50,240
travel at an incredible 18 000 miles per hour nothing can outrun that human or robot so for

334
00:18:50,240 --> 00:19:00,320
test three grants making sure his new best friend is super safe remote control and with it a remote

335
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:06,320
controlled finger here's how we'll set it up there'll be a block of wood that acts as our safety

336
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,360
when we're ready to go the robot will pull the block of wood away and that will leave the finger

337
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:19,200
free to push the button now with enough c4 in the oven to demolish a truck grants finger

338
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,920
may never be seen again all right so we are all set to go we got the c4 bomb in place with the

339
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,400
hollywood wires but not only that we have two different kinds of blasting caps just so that

340
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:36,080
we're covered oh it's live all right so as soon as that robot is safe yeah i can start the microwave

341
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:43,040
that's right i give it the finger all right here we go in three two one

342
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:47,680
oh

343
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:09,600
it was indeed beautiful but it was also fast exploding 30 times quicker than in the movie

344
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,920
yeah you probably wouldn't have had time to get out of the convenience store definitely would

345
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,760
have time to just put it in and dilly dally i mean it was like spark detonation from the

346
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:28,560
charred evidence it's clear that with the right fuse you can set off c4 in a microwave you think

347
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:34,560
we hated cooking or something but if you think you've got 60 seconds to clear the room you'd be

348
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,200
toast all right so how we call in this one you know the idea of setting off c4 in a microwave

349
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,680
is possible if you have a blasting cap if you have a blasting cap however as far as timing goes

350
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:51,280
this movie myth looks busted busted busted how cool was that dude like say something to her

351
00:20:51,920 --> 00:21:04,000
dude these pinches go both ways is that too much too soon yeah maybe

352
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:12,480
it's a fact that most home fires start on stows ignorance is the cause of panic when fire breaks

353
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,560
out but it's looking like fiction that eight ounces of water on a grease fire equals a 30-foot

354
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:25,600
fireball let's stop 30 however all is not lost in order to get that super-sized mythical fireball

355
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:31,360
they're going to downsize the experiment and experiment with pot shapes we're still on the

356
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:38,000
fire training center but this time in a fireproof room we're going down in scale with our oil and

357
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,480
water experiments to find out what we need to go up in scale we're going to use some cute little

358
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:49,040
pots and pans like this to create some cute little kitchen conflagrations all in an effort to create

359
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:56,960
that elusive 30-foot high fireball so get set for mayhem in miniature will the physical dimensions

360
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,280
of the pan make a difference to the height of the fireball so our scale experiment is pretty much

361
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:07,120
ready to go i've got several other types of frying pans and uh james beret liner just to find out

362
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:12,800
which shape we think is most energetic just like their large-scale outdoor tests they've got a gauge

363
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,800
behind the stove that will measure the fireball heights now although the oil to water ratio is

364
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:24,720
the same as their earlier tests eight to one okay that's eight teaspoons full of oil adams worried

365
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,880
the miniature amounts may be too small right well now we need one teaspoon up there so first up it's

366
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:38,240
a quick fireball test to see if the mini me measure will still do the job here we go scale

367
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:46,480
kitchen conflagration one teaspoon of water wow

368
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:58,320
yep it's frightening stuff even a tiny amount of water can still cause a kitchen catastrophe

369
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,520
i think we're going to need a smaller scale

370
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:08,080
but we are continuing to discover that there is i think the scientific term is

371
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:14,320
crap load a crap load of energy inherent in cooking oil when you heat it up and then add

372
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,400
water to it but that energy does mean their tiny teaspoon scale is a good enough yardstick to

373
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:28,880
test the pot shapes first up the walk will its oval shape help focus the flame this is one teaspoon

374
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:44,080
of water and eight teaspoons of peanut oil and a walk three two one next a standard pot three two one

375
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:59,840
nice and finally a stove pipe shaped pot jimmy lights the fire maybe it will

376
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,880
act like a cannon and direct the blast upwards here we go okay go

377
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,680
pretty much the same yeah that wasn't bigger than the pot was it no

378
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,240
no

379
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,400
darn it with all their pot tests delivering similar results it's bad news for the myth

380
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,720
so far it looks like pot shape doesn't really matter so the idea of eight ounces of water

381
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:35,760
creating a 30 foot fireball is well busted the only thing left to try from here is adding more

382
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,920
water we'll see what we get so with the pot size out of contention there we go the boys are going

383
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:48,960
to see if throwing more water on the flaming oil will provoke a more furious flame last time we did

384
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:55,200
eight to one this time we're going to do four to one and uh we'll ramp it up from there so we'll

385
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,080
twice the ratio of water shoot the flames twice as high i think we're going to get a bigger

386
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,760
poof of the fireball there we go here we go three two one

387
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:18,880
hard to say if that was bigger it was at least as big but as big is not big enough

388
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:25,440
they want bigger and better fireballs so the boys up the water volume again two to one

389
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,880
half as much water as oil three two one

390
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:39,600
it's getting better but there's room for one final test equal parts oil and water here we go and three

391
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,600
two one

392
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,760
clearly there's not much in it but the guys feel that there is some improvement at the higher ratios

393
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,280
i don't know man it's really close but if i had to call the ideal ratio of water and oil i'd say

394
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:03,600
it's either the uh the two to one or the one to one ratio yeah i'd make the same call that you know

395
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:09,600
it is kind of like making the decision as to whether you want to be well done or really well done

396
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,240
i wouldn't want to be in either of them but will that marginal difference make a difference in full

397
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:25,520
scale will they finally fire up the mythical 30-foot fireball up next awesome carry grant and tory

398
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240
lock and load for the cheese ball story

399
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,720
don't try anything you've seen on the show at home we are what you're called experts

400
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:53,440
okay you guys we can't do a show about kitchen nightmares without doing this next myth because

401
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:59,520
it's got mythbusters written all over it tell me more senior okay it's 1840 there's a naval battle

402
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:06,720
between uruguay and brazil captain co has run out of cannonballs and he comes upon the idea of using

403
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,560
cheese obviously so the captain orders all of his cannons to be loaded up with the cheese and fires

404
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,360
at the enemy's sails well apparently it was effective otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it today

405
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,320
exactly this is gonna be weird firing the cheese out of a cannon

406
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,440
running out of cannonballs was the nightmare scenario for battles at sea

407
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,840
unless you had an inspirational skipper

408
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,120
okay

409
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:45,760
and that's what this myth is all about with all the regular ammo used up captain co allegedly

410
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:52,080
locked and loaded with dutch eat them but could a round of this cheese really cut the mustard

411
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,760
and shred the enemy's sails or is this a myth that stinks well we've already got a perfectly

412
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,840
good cannon the one you built for prison break now we needed some hard cheeses and a period

413
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,680
appropriate sale well since none of us have ever used cheese ammunition how will we talk to a

414
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,720
cheese expert and find out exactly what we're dealing with here all right i mean i've never used

415
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:20,720
cheese ammunition you yeah once i don't like to talk about it okay but one thing tori can talk about

416
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:28,000
is how he's sourcing their cheesy myth testing equipment now on mythbusters we have a long history

417
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,760
of testing sea myths and we always do our homework so i'm pretty sure we have everything

418
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:37,120
either designed or already built to test this myth now the first thing we need obviously is a cannon

419
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:43,600
which i built for prison break out and we've spent enough time cutting up canvases in the

420
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,880
pirate special to know a thing or two about sales whoa that was crazy in fact we're going back to

421
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:55,920
the same sailmaker to get a period accurate sailing meanwhile carry and grand are checking a cheese's

422
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:02,800
chance of becoming cannon fodder with a state of the art food texture analyzer so we need to see

423
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,000
how projectile worthy these cheeses are well what we'll do is we'll set up a penetration test

424
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,800
where we'll deflect into the cheese and we'll measure how stiff it is how hard it is and how

425
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:19,120
elastic it is first up the cheese of the myth etem took about two and a half kilos of force to go in

426
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:25,120
half an inch okay two and a half kilos of force ain't a whole lot so it's just as well the team

427
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,920
brought two other much firmer fromages why don't we now test the smoke gutter food texture expert

428
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,840
mark thinks that etem in the 1840s might have been more like the smoke gutter of today but there's

429
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:44,160
yin and yang although it's almost twice as hard as etem it has a bad side effect for a cannonball

430
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:52,400
it crumbles that's interesting so maybe the spanish garacha has a better future it did not fracture

431
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,880
it retained its shape and it fought to recover some energy so that elasticity will be a good thing

432
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:02,480
so it's a good candidate it's a very good candidate so although etems authentic the other harder

433
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:11,600
cheeses may be more reliable 1840 replicas with provisioning complete it's time to launch this

434
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:16,800
myth on the high seas so we've come to west our marine services marina where they're helping us

435
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:24,000
transform this barge into a ship from 1840 starting with a genuine replica 19th century sail

436
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,960
it's period perfect set up perfect target that looks so good awesome the question that's worrying

437
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,280
us right now the most is inside the cannon is basically an explosion you light the fuse that

438
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,680
ignites the black powder that turns into this massive ball of hot expanding gases will the

439
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:47,120
cheese break up into a million pieces or even melt as it exits the cannon getting out intact

440
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,160
will be a stiff ask for any cheese etem is what they talked about in the myth that's what we have

441
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:58,000
here this is a smoked gouda which is actually more like the the aged etem back in those days

442
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,760
and if you throw in the garacha the cheese voted most likely to be a good cannonball that's all

443
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,840
three pre-tested cheeses ready for loading stop eating the ammunition i'm on a pregnant

444
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:19,360
with their ammo shaved and shaped oh yeah it's launch time i christen you the conchista door

445
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:29,040
to me put a hole in this sail so will cheese cut it as a cannonball or will the sail just be a

446
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:37,680
splatter with a platter i think we're close and coming up can adam and jayme finally fire up with

447
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:50,800
a 30 foot fireball can eight ounces of water on a grease fire throw up a 30 foot fireball

448
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:58,880
the myth says yes but so far adam and jayme have only managed 20 feet no 30 feet i think we got a

449
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:06,320
little more work to do so they ditched the eight ounce ideal wow and are now seeing if any amount

450
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:13,360
of water can launch a super-sized 30 foot fireball in tooling up for their outdoor testing jayme's

451
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,640
found the mother of all burners it's time for the boys to pack up everything and

452
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,240
and head out to a dusty wasteland if this isn't the middle of nowhere you can probably see it from

453
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,520
here so we've come back to commune with the windmills and waste management's altamont landfill

454
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:39,840
and while you may see a desolate landscape surrounded by alternative energy i see a kitchen

455
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:46,160
about to incur its own worst-case scenario with the full-scale arsonist dream kitchen in place

456
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:53,440
what could be wrong with my cooking they're almost ready to fire up the big one okay and tip

457
00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:01,280
haha that's perfect the only thing left to do is to erect a 30 foot yardstick and they can launch

458
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:08,400
their test that looks pretty straight to me at last it's time to see if water plus a grease fire

459
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:15,120
can ever equal a 30 foot high fireball with the small-scale results in mind they've got a regular

460
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,520
stock pot at a two to one ratio of ingredients two quarts of oil to one quart of water there's a pretty

461
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:27,680
stiff wind out here so i'm reckoning that uh we're not going to get 30 feet straight up but we might

462
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:34,960
get 30 feet sideways and that's what the myth says 30 feet didn't say straight up ah that's our jayme

463
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:42,560
always want to move the goalposts i want a 30 foot fireball a genuine bonafide died in the wool

464
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:50,400
homegrown 30 foot fireball this is it the final countdown for the ultimate disaster test will

465
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:56,640
the worst-case scenario for a kitchen fireball meet adam's high hopes yeah yeah go for it

466
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:14,800
that was 30 feet that was 30 feet nicely done it looked good from here with two quarts oil and one

467
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,480
quart water that's four times the original amount they used have they finally cracked it

468
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:31,920
there it goes yep yeah 28 29 30 easily 30 that's a lot of fire out of a little pot of oil at last

469
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:39,600
it's mission accomplished eight ounces of water can't give you a 30 foot fireball but a quart sure can

470
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,560
two parts oil one part water we got the fireball we were looking for i could see it well above

471
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:52,240
the 30 foot marker it's there i will now regard making french fries with the same fear i have for

472
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:59,920
using a table saw but as far as the 30 foot fireball from eight ounces of water dumped in oil it's no

473
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:09,600
go it's busted busted it may be but jayme's not done yet he's had a bizarre idea on how to escalate

474
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:17,040
this kitchen catastrophe to the max this is what i came up with a can of soup stock what if that

475
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,640
was sitting on a shelf above your stove and happened to fall into that pot of burning oil when you

476
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:32,240
turn up the heat on a sealed can the results are dynamite so it may be just the thing to take this

477
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:38,640
fireball to a whole new level because when jayme's can of liquid falls into 800 degree oil

478
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:43,360
as sure as shooting it's going to explode now we've already seen what happens when you pour

479
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:49,360
water into the oil imagine what's going to happen when it enters the oil from pretty much underneath

480
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:57,280
all in like a tenth of a second it's going to be spectacular and incredibly volatile just how they

481
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:07,440
like it i think we're close okay we're going to drop it in let me take cover it's the moment of

482
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:19,280
truth that's gonna happen quick i think pressure is building yeah

483
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:32,480
that's what i'm talking about that was nice ah the sweet deep fried smell of success

484
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:39,040
their mini meat depth charge has shot up over 100 feet of fireball left a beautiful

485
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:46,800
myth buster's trademark and created the ultimate kitchen nightmare coming up next on myth busters

486
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:54,160
get ready for the ultimate food fight then that's a bad grease fire right there it's extreme

487
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,760
firefighting for the extreme kitchen grease fire finale

488
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,800
tori kary and grant are testing the claim that a south american sea battle was won by cannons

489
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,480
blazing away with cheese balls for this myth to be confirmed we need to see that cheese exit the

490
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,240
cannon completely intact hit the target and make a perfect hole in our period accurate sale okay ready

491
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:30,000
now when the black powder ignites the cheese could have up to 5000 psi propelling it what will happen

492
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:38,640
to it then is anyone's guess first cheese up is the item of the myth okay do what you gotta do right

493
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:45,120
all right we're out of here i think this is gonna work uh i have no idea the loaded cheese should

494
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:54,000
have a realistic exit velocity if it makes it out of the barrel in three two one

495
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:14,720
it just bounced right off the sale yeah no damage smudged yes hold no the item shot out like a rocket

496
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,640
as the lightest cheese of the trio it simply doesn't have enough mass to penetrate the sale

497
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:28,240
so what's next guess we'll just have to see how go to does the earlier tests rated go to as the

498
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:36,640
hardest but it crumbled under load nice fit right great fit so how would it fare as cannon fodder

499
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,040
find out how much damage this cheese can do

500
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:53,360
the sales unsullied and the cannon has blown chunks of charred cheese all over the deck

501
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,400
which means all that energy dispersed what we need is that solid massive cheese

502
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,240
to fly out with all that energy in order to do some kind of damage to the ship

503
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:07,840
i don't know it's starting to look not so good for this move it sure ain't their hardest cheese

504
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:13,840
just shredded itself but maybe hardness isn't everything they have another cheese in their

505
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:20,960
locker garacha harder and heavier than edam but more elastic than gutta lighting the fuse in three

506
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:28,800
two one this time they're locked and loaded with the most flexible cheese rammed up tight

507
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,040
will it finally be curtains for the sale

508
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:53,440
at last they've nailed it that garacha had the right texture to take the full explosive force

509
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:59,520
of the black powder and it's sliced through the canvas like a knife through cheese i cannot

510
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:06,560
believe the size of that hole that would cause me to retreat so yes the edam failed yes the gutta

511
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:12,320
failed but finally we found a cheese that was hard enough to stay intact and make it through the sale

512
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,400
it's lethal people i am good with calling cheese a viable weapon during the heat of battle i'm calling

513
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,000
this one confirmed confirmed confirmed and delicious

514
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:40,160
when you're all lit up use an extinguisher control ellen i'll take two and never fight a grease fire

515
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,160
water

516
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:52,560
but is it really never can you ever use water to put out a grease fire is there any amount of water

517
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:57,760
that can successfully extinguish a catastrophic grease fire in your kitchen i have a way to

518
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,040
answer this jayme doesn't know what it is yet and i think you're gonna like it to see if adam's plan

519
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,520
holds water they first need to refurbish their severely singed kitchen

520
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:16,000
it may look pretty but every item added is more fuel for a cataclysmic kitchen fire

521
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,720
and will make any inferno doubly difficult to douse all right i'm going to increase the

522
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:31,360
conflagration here you ready yeah granny's on fire too granny's on fire all the cereals uh oh man

523
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:37,680
it'll take a niagra of water to quench this place that's a that's a bad grease fire right there

524
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,640
i'd say so i think my water method is coming hold on

525
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:43,680
hear that

526
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,760
you did i did

527
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:02,640
usually on tap for fighting forest fires there's at least 500 gallons swinging under that chopper

528
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:13,600
so it looks like our house proud had some friends in the fire department she did

529
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:27,760
no fire fire gone cheating maybe effective

530
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:37,200
you bet that is just the way i was hoping it would look dude this is nasty yeah there's

531
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,600
cereal all over the floor it ain't pretty but one thing's for sure the fire has been

532
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,040
quintessentially quenched and your helicopter guy you hit the mark he hit the bullseye pj's the

533
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:54,400
best man for those who wondered if it is ever possible to put out a grease fire with water

534
00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:02,960
the once proud myth buster's extreme kitchen is smoldering proof that you can this is possible

535
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:09,040
but you need 500 gallons of water and you can't have a roof well i think our work's done here i am

536
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:19,280
deeply deeply satisfied let's go home you know we shoot hours and hours of footage for every

537
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,720
