You ready? Yep. All right 18 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760 Pick one 19 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,240 What does it say dear myth busters can a super secret agent spy arrive at a fancy party via scuba 20 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640 Unzip his dive suit and emerge party ready and a spiffy tux 21 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,520 Spiffy I've seen this several times and I want to know if it's possible your biggest fan 22 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,080 I can't read the signature 23 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,320 That is a great story. I think we should totally do it. Do I get aware of the tux? Absolutely. Okay, then 24 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,240 It's a classic cinematic costume conundrum the super secret spy slips out of the water 25 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,320 And unzips his dive suit revealing an immaculate tuxedo 26 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,140 But can a scuba dive arrival really leave you high dry and ready to party 27 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,400 So what do you think the plan is it's easy one of us scuba dives to a party and the other one arrives by normal means 28 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,680 And then when we get there an impartial judge sees if both of our tuxes past muster exactly 29 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Okay, but first I think we need a lesson in proper tux etiquette from a pro as it happens. I have one right here 30 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,800 Hello Bertrand. Hello, Jamie 31 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Narrator would you please tell the nice folks at home about Bertrand's credentials? 32 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:14,400 image consultant fashion author and all-round style guru Bertrand is the perfect person to get Adam and Jamie looking ship-shaped for their upcoming 33 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,720 boat party and Adam here's yours 34 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Now when it comes to black tie, it's really important that a tuxedo be absolutely perfect 35 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Otherwise, you'll be mistaken for the head waiter 36 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,640 Also overlooked are the shoes and really the standard is patent leather 37 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Apparently patent leather is critical 38 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:42,320 It's got to be a hand tied bow tie a clip on tie just doesn't cut it the hand tied bow tie gives a man his individual 39 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,240 Finally the white handkerchief need to have the pocket square. That's a pocket square. It's not a napkin 40 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,440 It is not a dinner napkin. So Jamie. How do you feel? I? 41 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,280 Feel kind of tied up like a pot roast actually despite Jamie's discomfort our dapper duo are now 42 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Impeccably dressed. There we go. I think we're a proper pair of penguins. Yeah 43 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,920 And for the myth to be confirmed that's the standard that has to be maintained regardless of their method of transport to the party 44 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,960 This penguin providing a comparative baseline will be traveling in comfort above water 45 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,480 Perfect 46 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:31,520 But agent Heinemann codenamed the walrus wearing state-of-the-art scuba gear over the top of his party gear 47 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,580 We'll be going saabakwa. All right. It's party time 48 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,480 Oh 49 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:44,080 All right request best randomizer you guys ready go for it. All right. We go 50 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200 This is hilarious 51 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,840 Okay, this letter says 52 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,680 Hey guys, I heard that if your car tires are slightly 53 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,560 Deflated only by a few psi your fuel efficiency could tail off massively. I drive a lot so I'd really like to know if that's true 54 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Yeah, we get this one a lot, but you know that's only half the story 55 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,680 Yes, there are some people that say if you have lower pressure you get lower mileage 56 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,600 But there are other people who say if you over inflate you get better mileage a fuel efficiency method. Love it 57 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Everybody loves to save money. All right. Why don't we do this? We'll take a car 58 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,280 We bypass the fuel tank will install our own fuel 59 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,560 One that we can remove and weigh so that way we know exactly how much fuel we're using during these tests 60 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200 Sounds great. And then we do three tests 61 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,720 Obviously we start with the control at the right pressure and then we move on to under pressured and over pressured and this being myth busters 62 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,920 We're gonna have to try super low pressure and super high pressure. Oh, yeah 63 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,920 So to test the randomly selected viewer request the team D mob to a remote location 64 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:58,680 We've come to this abandoned naval base so we can test our tire pressure fuel efficiency mix 65 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,600 We're going to lay out a track drive it five different times 66 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,280 Exactly the same with five different tire pressures and see if tire pressure really does have an effect on your fuel efficiency 67 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,240 Now when we get down to actually driving the car, we can't just go crazy out there 68 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,720 You have to have a very specific route 69 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,640 We have to drive the same route every time at the same speed in the exact same way 70 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,480 And what's more the weight of the car cannot change between tests? That's the only way we'll be able to compare results 71 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,600 Okay, this is fuel efficiency tire pressure. We start out with our control test 35 psi, which is the manufacturers recommended pressure 72 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,600 All right, let's get to driving. Okay 73 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:42,120 In charge of making sure Kerry adheres to the meticulously planned course is backseat driver in a horror 74 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,120 All right stop sign coming up 75 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,800 You're going to stop and hold for 10 seconds each of the requisite stops and periods of acceleration 76 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Are carefully timed to ensure consistency between the runs? 77 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,720 And with the control complete the guys whip out the fuel cell weigh it and crunch the crucial numbers 78 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,480 All right, so that is 79 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,720 8,916 grams 80 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:16,120 Okay, well let's take it down to 10 psi and do the test again the next two tests will be at the extreme ends of the tire pressure spectrum 81 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,960 Okay, here we go under inflated at 10 psi the handling is adversely affected 82 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:34,240 But the team complete the identical circuit safety and move on to the extreme over inflated test 60 psi 83 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,480 hit it 84 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:45,200 Overinflation to this degree is obviously not recommended in addition to risking a dangerous blowout the tires will wear unevenly 85 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,360 But according to some fans, it's supposedly more fuel efficient now 86 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,800 I get the reasoning behind this it makes sense. Okay, so you fill your tire to 60 psi 87 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,240 You're getting less contact with the road because the tire is bulging. There's less of a footprint there 88 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,560 You're getting less rolling resistance and therefore you're possibly getting better fuel efficiency 89 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,480 That's the theory but the number crunching will have to wait because on the next two tests 90 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,680 The guys are working within real-world parameters of 15% above and below the control 91 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Let's get to the results 92 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Okay, what do we got? Okay, so for the plus 15% over inflated tires at 40 psi 93 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:36,160 We consumed 6.2 percent less fuel makes sense and in the case of the 15% under inflated at 30 psi we consumed 94 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,280 1.2 percent more fuel and 95 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Confirming the myth the numbers for the extreme tests are even more extreme 96 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,960 basically flat tires increase friction and therefore increase fuel consumption 97 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,840 But when it comes to saving money the raw numbers don't tell the whole story 98 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:03,480 And here's why so what we're finding with the under inflated tires is that we're consuming more fuel and this makes sense when you consider 99 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:10,040 The tire contact patch which is the actual surface area of the tire that makes contact with the road and when the tires are under inflated 100 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,320 The contact patch is larger which increases the rolling resistance 101 00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:18,320 Increases the friction and makes it harder for the engine to move the car 102 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,720 But if you really break this down to saving money well in a year drive 10,000 miles 103 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,760 You're only saving about 104 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,400 $76 now if you weigh that against the fact that you might get a blowout and put your life in danger 105 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:37,120 You're not actually saving anything at all. So drive around with your tires inflated to the recommended air pressure. That's your best bet 106 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,960 Next on myth busters will our scuba diving spy come up dry 107 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,960 Then carry Grandontory take aim at some ballistic internet claims 108 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320 Results from this are extremely surprising 109 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,120 This is the fan inspired 110 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Request-fest special and agent Heidemann wearing his tuxedo underneath his dive suit is on his way to gate crash a boat party 111 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,440 Let's recap the myth is that a secret agent could scuba dive to a formal party in a tuxedo 112 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,160 That's right wearing a tuxedo under the water arrived take off the scuba gear and 113 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:24,240 Attract no attention at all. No one would be any the wiser. So in order to test this. I'm the control 114 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:31,080 I am here on this boat having dressed myself above decks while James Franklin Heidemann the secret agent is currently 115 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720 Scuba diving here under the water when he arrives 116 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:40,080 He'll take off this gear and we will have both of our tuxes assessed to see if they pass muster 117 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Any minute now 118 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,960 And the challenge Jamie's facing is a spy worthy 40 minutes swim at a maximum depth of 60 feet 119 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Covering almost a mile a tough task for an unruly tux one Adam thinks is beyond Jamie 120 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,160 Well, mr. Heidemann has five thousand some odd dives under his belt 121 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,320 I will wager this is a first for him and I will further wager that it's not gonna work very well 122 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,080 I think he's gonna come out of the water and his tux is gonna look like not only did he spent three days in the rain in it 123 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,080 But he slept in it every single night 124 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,840 Right on cue our man of action surfaces and slips out of his dive suit 125 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:30,680 And incredibly the initial impression is agent Heidemann is not just completely dry in terms of seawater and sweat 126 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:37,200 But unflustered and suitably dapper mighty respectable. I'm blown away your suit looks fantastic 127 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,720 I 128 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,080 Gotta say this story falls into the realm of the our elephants afraid of mice category 129 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,640 I thought we'd throw Jamie and some scuba gear throw him underwater and he'd come up and we'd laugh about how horrifying 130 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,520 His tuxedo look but honestly he looks fantastic 131 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,000 He's not only dry as a bone, but I have a hard time finding anything wrong with this entire getup 132 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,800 But the final decision is down to the keen eye of our style guy 133 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:11,720 All right, well then the million dollar question is would Jamie pass muster at a formal gathering I would say absolutely 134 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:20,680 Absolutely confirmed it is nicely done agent Heidemann.

Yeah, it's doubly effective 229 00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:13,820 Hands down the elbow is a highly effective technique with virtually the entire sneeze contained on each of Jamie's sneezes 230 00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,860 But can the humble hanky do better still? 231 00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:21,780 Well, it's back to Adam and for this final test he's sneezing in blue 232 00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:31,180 How do we do 233 00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:39,020 Let's get tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny dot of blue there at first it seems like the hanky may be victorious until 234 00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:41,780 I see some on the hanky 235 00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:50,620 And look it's penetrated all the way to both sides it's penetrated both sides and perhaps most damningly 236 00:21:51,940 --> 00:21:58,700 It's all my hands ready to spread to the next person whose hand I shake the sneeze seeped through the hanky 237 00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:04,100 Contaminating Adam's hand making it a pretty poor technique and it gets worse 238 00:22:04,620 --> 00:22:10,780 Let me make one more thing clear about this hanky. I'm holding here imagine how'd you how'd you how'd you you sneezing it all day? 239 00:22:10,780 --> 00:22:16,000 Long you keep on putting it in your pocket pulling it back out giving people change from your pocket handing them your pen 240 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,980 Handing them your phone talking on your phone spreading 241 00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:24,100 Germs. Yeah, it's not just a Rorschach test. It's a petri dish 242 00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:30,180 Although the droplets were contained the hand exposure means the hanky has hit the skins 243 00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:34,340 So this blue season which method are you gonna use the hand? 244 00:22:34,980 --> 00:22:36,980 the elbow 245 00:22:38,460 --> 00:22:42,260 Gotta be the elbow. I totally agree. It's the elbow. So now you know 246 00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:50,020 Coming up you look like a pretty strange family will a wig really help you keep your head one 247 00:22:55,060 --> 00:22:59,340 Carrie Grant and Tori are tackling a trio of ballistic tall tales 248 00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:03,340 They've already got proof a laptop could be bulletproof 249 00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:10,100 Next they're tackling the widely reported story that air extensions could extend your life 250 00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,100 We look like a pretty strange family 251 00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,500 Yeah, I strange family 252 00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:20,380 Since our bulletproof hair weave myth was ripped straight from the headlines. We're lucky enough to have a few details 253 00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:26,500 One we know they used a 40 caliber pistol to they were eight to ten feet away and three 254 00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:30,780 We know they shot through the back window of the driver side. So 255 00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:36,260 Sounds a little crazy to me, but I guess we'll see if the hair weave can stop a bullet 256 00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:42,940 My guess is smoothing the firepower to make it through a windshield through a headrest through a hair weave and 257 00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:47,180 Ultimately through the rest of a dummy. Here we go in three two one 258 00:23:51,060 --> 00:23:57,500 Go check it out inside the car. It's not long before the all-too-damning evidence is discovered 259 00:23:59,740 --> 00:24:03,020 It actually went through her head it pulled the hair weave 260 00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:15,340 Well one thing's for sure air weave is not bulletproof, okay, this is amazing check out this evidence right here the bullet goes in through the weave 261 00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:20,140 You'll notice it pulls the weave through the head and 262 00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:28,140 Brings the weave with the bullet out the other side. This is very busted. This is not a bulletproof weave and 263 00:24:28,780 --> 00:24:32,860 through the back window the headrest and then into the weave 264 00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:35,340 It's busted 265 00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:42,100 But the woman was shot at and did find the bullet in her weave so what happened? 266 00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:45,720 This myth seems somewhat suspect to me from the beginning 267 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:52,500 I mean if I can ram my finger through the hair weave a bullet is gonna go through it especially a direct hit now 268 00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:56,580 I'm sure the woman did find a bullet tangled up in her hair 269 00:24:56,740 --> 00:25:03,620 I'm just thinking maybe something else happened. Maybe a ricochet landed back in her hair weave and she thought that's what saved her 270 00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:04,180 Yep 271 00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:11,540 The likeliest scenario is the bullet ricocheted around inside the car before winding up in the weave of the intended victim 272 00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:22,980 What could be next well, let's see 273 00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:34,660 Dear myth busters, I've often heard people refer to something they think is easy as being 274 00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:37,540 Like taking candy from a baby 275 00:25:38,020 --> 00:25:40,020 Here's what I want to know 276 00:25:40,020 --> 00:25:44,100 Is it really that easy to take candy from a baby? 277 00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:45,940 regards 278 00:25:45,940 --> 00:25:47,060 childless 279 00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:48,580 in ohio 280 00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:52,340 I'm kind of wondered about that myself and it's just like you to wonder that 281 00:25:54,500 --> 00:26:00,100 It's a familiar phrase that supposedly illustrates a simple and easily achievable task 282 00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:07,940 The idea being that the baby is defenseless in the face of mean misatioed candy grabbers 283 00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:13,380 But Howard Jamie and Adam once he's had a timeout going to test it 284 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,900 So how are we going to measure how difficult it is to take candy from a baby? 285 00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:23,060 Well, the first thing that comes to mind for me is grip strength. There we go. That's what i'm looking for 286 00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:30,340 And to measure that I figure we'll need to design some kind of a device that grabs the candy and then 287 00:26:30,820 --> 00:26:35,220 Can record how much force it takes to pull that candy out of the baby's hand 288 00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,500 A little tiny candy grabber 289 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:43,860 So the guys are going to reduce the myth to a single quantifiable measurement grip strength 290 00:26:45,060 --> 00:26:47,060 Oh look at that 291 00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:53,380 And with a force gauge attached to Jamie's candy grabbing animatronic arm they can do just that 292 00:26:55,220 --> 00:27:00,020 Basically each of the babies ranging in age from six to 18 months will be given candy 293 00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:05,860 And then Jamie will see how much force is required to take that candy from their sticky 294 00:27:06,820 --> 00:27:08,820 supposedly helpless little hands 295 00:27:09,860 --> 00:27:11,860 What do you think? Do you think it's a good height for grabbing? 296 00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:14,180 I 297 00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,780 Seems about right 298 00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:22,180 Well, so if we're going to test this thing on some real babies we should get a 299 00:27:22,980 --> 00:27:26,740 Baseline how easy it is to pick up candy. Is that why you have that thing? 300 00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:33,220 Yeah, I found this kid in one of your boxes labeled babies up there and thought we just place the lollipop on his chest 301 00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:37,460 We pick it up. What could be easier than that? Okay? He won't give you any resistance 302 00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:41,060 As it turns out not much at all got it 303 00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:43,860 0.08 304 00:27:43,860 --> 00:27:47,620 0.08 of a pound. Yeah. All right. So that's our baseline. That is 305 00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:51,140 The easiest possible thing to do just to pick up the lollipop 306 00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:53,940 Cue the first baby. Hello 307 00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:57,300 How are you? I'm lelly and this is this is coal 308 00:27:57,780 --> 00:28:03,780 Our first test subject coal here is just six months old and with a little prompting from adam 309 00:28:04,020 --> 00:28:08,420 He soon grabs hold of the sweet stuff. That's it. Yes 310 00:28:09,140 --> 00:28:11,140 exactly 311 00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:14,180 All right, mr. Heineman, it's all yours 312 00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:20,660 Okay, coal get ready to surrender your candy. What do you think of that? 313 00:28:27,620 --> 00:28:30,580 Wow 3.16 pounds 314 00:28:32,020 --> 00:28:34,020 Nice work strum like bull 315 00:28:35,060 --> 00:28:39,540 3.16 pounds is a huge 40 times increase on the control 316 00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:44,260 And an indication that this myth might not be as straightforward as it appeared 317 00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:52,980 Bringing the next baby a theory compounded by the next subject 10 month old ruby. Oh, that's it 318 00:28:54,260 --> 00:28:56,420 Yeah, okay 319 00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:06,260 Are you scaring her with your robot arm that seems to be the problem 320 00:29:06,580 --> 00:29:10,420 That and the fact that jamie is trying to steal her candy. Oh, what's that? 321 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:17,140 With ruby obviously uncomfortable the team decides to move on 322 00:29:17,540 --> 00:29:22,340 But it should be noted that by utilizing her key baby power crying 323 00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:27,540 Jamie failed to relieve her of the candy. Maybe it's not so easy after all 324 00:29:28,660 --> 00:29:33,860 Coming up the team tackle a sweet tasting tall tale that may well end in tears 325 00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:42,340 It's the final installment of the request fest bulletproof myth 326 00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:50,820 One of our viewers led us to this story when it kicked off in the kitchen our lucky survivor hid behind a fridge door 327 00:29:51,220 --> 00:29:56,020 Which supposedly proved impenetrable to several nine millimeter rounds 328 00:29:56,660 --> 00:29:58,980 All right, who's signing for these refrigerators? 329 00:30:00,260 --> 00:30:03,540 So why would a refrigerator door possibly be a good shield against bullets? 330 00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:06,820 Well, there is rolled steel throughout this door 331 00:30:07,380 --> 00:30:12,900 You can tell because you can put a magnet on it. So it might be able to stop the bullet or at least slow it down 332 00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:14,900 So you won't get hurt 333 00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,380 Yes, that's good right there 334 00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:19,220 It's good 335 00:30:19,220 --> 00:30:26,020 All right, and to give the myth the seal of bachelor authenticity tori has brought the entire contents of his fridge 336 00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:32,260 This one doesn't have any mold so that's still good. I think this is pesto or 337 00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:34,980 I don't know. Maybe it's just turned green 338 00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:37,460 Of course, it's not entirely realistic 339 00:30:38,020 --> 00:30:42,820 But a shell full of jars and canned goods will give the myth the best chance possible 340 00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:54,740 Okay, this is bulletproof fridge door in three two one 341 00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:04,820 Nice 342 00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:07,860 Nice shooting Tex 343 00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:14,420 I saw stuff flying. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think there's anything bulletproof about that refrigerator 344 00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:19,860 Well, I'm not hiding behind a refrigerator next time. I'm on a gunfight. Okay. Let's go check it. Yeah 345 00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:23,860 Oh 346 00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:31,300 I would have to say those are lethal shots. Yeah, check this out plastic from the door 347 00:31:31,620 --> 00:31:33,620 Now that looks painful 348 00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:41,540 Not just painful lethal the ballistics gel is riddled with nine mil rounds plastic shrapnel glass shrapnel 349 00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:47,060 And mustard leaving the mill clustered, but the guys aren't giving up just yet 350 00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:52,660 Middle of the door is pretty thin. Is that all there is to this door some metal and a little bit of plastic 351 00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:59,060 I think it's just the cover here. Yeah, but you know what the older fridge might have thicker gauge steel and multiple layers of it 352 00:31:59,540 --> 00:32:06,100 All right, let's move on to the older refrigerator. Yep, they're going old school cool with a fridge from the 50s 353 00:32:06,180 --> 00:32:08,180 This thing is gorgeous. What a shame 354 00:32:08,980 --> 00:32:12,340 But more important than the design aesthetic is its mass 355 00:32:15,060 --> 00:32:21,300 Oh my goodness, this is very very heavy, which I think is a good sign. Yes, this thing is solid 356 00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:24,820 So why might this old refrigerator be a good choice for a bulletproof shield? 357 00:32:24,980 --> 00:32:32,260 Well, modern refrigerators have thin gauge steel and plastic but when this was made they didn't have all that they had this 358 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:40,020 Steel and a lot of it now. We know that this fridge is double wall. You've got at least two layers 359 00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:42,340 And hopefully that's fairly thick gauge steel 360 00:32:43,460 --> 00:32:45,460 That's what my money's on 361 00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:53,460 All right, this is old-fashioned refrigerator door versus nine millimeter. Here we go in three two one 362 00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,300 Oh 363 00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:04,260 Looks like it went through. Yeah, I think so. Damn 364 00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:07,780 Yep, the evidence has cooled the team's optimism 365 00:33:08,740 --> 00:33:14,260 The old-fashioned fridge like the modern one has clearly failed on the bulletproof front 366 00:33:16,420 --> 00:33:18,420 Now that is a shot 367 00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:22,340 Through the door through the condiments and hitting the aluminum bar 368 00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:26,500 These doors are not stopping these bullets. Those were nine millimeter rounds 369 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,140 I mean, they weren't even magnets and they still passed right through 370 00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:35,300 I thought we had some hope here, but this is all busted gotta say it's busted. Totally busted. We ruined a fridge for nothing 371 00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:50,100 Up next the candy cleptomania continues and carry grantentori tackle a tasty tale of beverage bashing 372 00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:59,620 All right spin it up. All right randomizing. Okay 373 00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:06,820 All right 374 00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:11,300 This one says I know you like beer 375 00:34:12,740 --> 00:34:14,340 So you'll like this one 376 00:34:14,340 --> 00:34:19,380 I've seen a video of a guy taking a beer bottle out of a freezer and the beer is in liquid form 377 00:34:19,460 --> 00:34:25,060 He bangs it on the countertop and the beer instantly freezes. Is this true? If so, what's going on? 378 00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:30,340 I've definitely heard this one. All right. Well, let's get some beer in a freezer and go for it 379 00:34:32,740 --> 00:34:37,940 There are a number of instant beer freeze viral videos doing the cyberspace rounds 380 00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:42,340 And supposedly if you leave a bottle of beer in the freezer for a while 381 00:34:42,740 --> 00:34:47,940 Then give it a short sharp shock. Hey presto. You get an instant frozen beer 382 00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,500 It's a challenge that guys can't resist 383 00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:56,580 We're at the myth busters lab to test the internet instant frozen beer myth. First we're going to need 384 00:34:58,660 --> 00:35:03,380 Beer and furthermore it has to be in the glass container and at the right temperature 385 00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:07,140 And then we'll take the bottles of beer 386 00:35:07,780 --> 00:35:13,300 Stick them in the freezer for different amounts of time to see exactly how long it takes 387 00:35:14,020 --> 00:35:20,180 To get an instant beer freeze with varying reports on the duration and temperature required for successful 388 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,020 insta freezing the guys are covering their bases and 389 00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:26,580 experiment 390 00:35:26,580 --> 00:35:28,020 begins 391 00:35:28,020 --> 00:35:34,420 Little bit of internet research has told us that the butter zone for the super cool instant frozen beer myth is about two hours 392 00:35:34,580 --> 00:35:37,780 But since every freezer is different, we're going to do a little experiment with this one 393 00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:39,140 We have four beers in the freezer 394 00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:44,100 We're going to take them out at different intervals and see if we found the perfect time formula for boom 395 00:35:44,820 --> 00:35:46,420 frozen beer 396 00:35:46,420 --> 00:35:49,700 So there are a number of different theories just to exactly why this phenomena happens 397 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:55,860 One of them is that the beer has to be just on the edge of freezing and by adding kinetic energy in the form of a shock 398 00:35:56,660 --> 00:36:02,500 It causes bubbles to form rapidly and that takes out just enough temperature to cause the beer to freeze instantly 399 00:36:04,340 --> 00:36:06,340 It's five o'clock somewhere in the world 400 00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:13,220 Another theory is super cooling that is when the beer is in its liquid state 401 00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:17,620 But its temperature is below its freezing temperature once the beer is agitated 402 00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:23,060 It disturbs the molecules creating nucleation sites that allows ice crystals to form 403 00:36:23,380 --> 00:36:26,420 Those ice crystals have more surfaces for more ice crystals to form 404 00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:30,260 Creating a cascading effect that will solidly freeze this beer 405 00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:35,140 Both of those theories depend on the beer being at or below its freezing point 406 00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:42,020 All right, it is time to pull the first beer which is somewhere around 32 degrees fahrenheit 407 00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:45,300 Okay, beer number one two hours 408 00:36:46,580 --> 00:36:48,580 All right smack it you ready 409 00:36:50,340 --> 00:36:56,260 Wow, I think you broke the beer you almost smashed the bottle. All right, should we check the thermal camera? Yeah 410 00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:01,380 Okay, I have 44.1 degrees 411 00:37:01,940 --> 00:37:05,860 That's not even close to being freezing. We got to leave it in there longer. Okay 412 00:37:06,580 --> 00:37:08,580 Next beer let's wait for the next interval 413 00:37:09,220 --> 00:37:16,100 With the time lapse time machine in full effect. It's time for the next test you guys ready for two and a half hours 414 00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:20,420 Yep, smack it here we go. One two three 415 00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:26,660 But the mythical instant beer freeze is proving elusive 416 00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:30,580 Thermal camera is reading 39 degrees 417 00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:38,420 Still not cold enough and even at two hours and 45 minutes with the beer right at its supposed freezing point 418 00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:43,620 Okay, we're actually at 32 degrees. So this might work. All right at freezing, right? You ready to smack it? Yeah 419 00:37:45,940 --> 00:37:54,020 There's still no sign which rules out grant theory that on the point of freezing the formation of bubbles suddenly reduces the temperature 420 00:37:54,340 --> 00:37:56,340 And a tipping point is reached 421 00:37:56,660 --> 00:37:59,460 All right, this beer has been in the freezer for three hours 422 00:37:59,460 --> 00:38:03,780 Okay, let's see what we got. Okay, 31 degrees 423 00:38:04,180 --> 00:38:11,220 Which is promising because this will be the first test with a still liquid beer below its freezing point. All right hit it 424 00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:13,460 Okay, here we go ready? 425 00:38:16,980 --> 00:38:22,500 Look at how well that works instant ice crystal instant frozen beer it works 426 00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:26,260 Man you can really freak some friends out with this one 427 00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,300 What a great party trick, right? Yeah, totally 428 00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:35,220 Watching the beer go from liquid to solid is really really beautiful because it's it 429 00:38:35,540 --> 00:38:41,220 It just grows like those little sand crystals that used to happen when you were a kid and it just fills the bottle up 430 00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:45,860 It's it's one of those really cool experiments because anybody can do it. You can do it at home 431 00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:49,860 It doesn't need explosives or professionals around. It's just a beer 432 00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:55,300 Yep, it's simple satisfying try at home science and Carrie knows why 433 00:38:55,780 --> 00:38:58,660 So it looks like the winning theory here is super cooling 434 00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:00,900 We have the beer at its liquid form 435 00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:06,660 But the temperature is just below freezing when you agitate the beer the water molecules are disturbed 436 00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:12,900 Ice crystals start to form on nucleation sites which create more ice crystals which create more ice crystals cascading 437 00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:15,300 creating a slushy beer 438 00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,020 Well works that's one for the internet 439 00:39:18,180 --> 00:39:19,860 That's cool 440 00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:23,540 So what are we going to do with all this experimental beer and slushy drink we've got? 441 00:39:24,020 --> 00:39:26,020 I got an 80 that's it 442 00:39:34,180 --> 00:39:42,180 Adam and Jamie are tackling the viewer requested mini myth that taking candy from a baby is really as easy as the idiom implies 443 00:39:43,460 --> 00:39:46,820 Let's get another baby. All right the next baby 444 00:39:46,980 --> 00:39:48,980 Hey 445 00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:55,940 Meet Annika and at 14 months she appears to have a candy retention skill that the younger kids don't have 446 00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:58,500 Evasion 447 00:40:00,820 --> 00:40:07,860 Oh, that's pretty good. Oh, she's crafty. Monica you're being excellent test subject 448 00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:16,740 She's totally chill you are doing great. Good job, Annika 449 00:40:17,380 --> 00:40:22,740 We're encountering resistance from these babies in the form of evasion 450 00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:28,100 They're not being as docile as we had hoped and they are holding the lollipop away from Jamie's test equipment 451 00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:31,780 These babies are crafty, but I think we can outsmart them 452 00:40:33,220 --> 00:40:35,220 She wants to hold on to it 453 00:40:35,220 --> 00:40:36,420 Oh 454 00:40:36,420 --> 00:40:38,420 But as it turns out round here 455 00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:45,140 The babies are smarter than the tv hosts because Annika decides to pull out the biggest gun in the baby arsenal 456 00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:47,540 No, now she sees you guilt 457 00:40:48,260 --> 00:40:50,260 You've gone and scared her.

I'm very sorry 472 00:41:55,380 --> 00:42:00,100 So adam and jaymie were successful with a force reading of 1.08 pounds 473 00:42:00,580 --> 00:42:04,420 But guilt ridden which means it's time for the final test 474 00:42:05,140 --> 00:42:08,660 Frankie our 18 month old baby was a little bit difficult at first 475 00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:13,220 She's a little shy took a little time to acclimatize to the crew the big camera the microphone 476 00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:16,020 But uh once we got her out of the chair 477 00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:21,140 She definitely didn't like it into her mom's arms. She actually warmed up a fair degree 478 00:42:22,020 --> 00:42:29,060 I think we're close. Okay. Here I go. Oh my goodness. Uh, oh, it's like fishing. Oh, I got a reading 479 00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:32,020 1.79 480 00:42:33,780 --> 00:42:37,300 Life up broke give a high five awesome 481 00:42:39,460 --> 00:42:41,460 I got a reading 482 00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:44,500 That's a result 483 00:42:44,740 --> 00:42:46,740 And that's a wrap by Frankie 484 00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:53,140 Which means it's time to ponder the results while the youngest baby registered more grip strength 485 00:42:53,380 --> 00:42:59,620 The older babies seemed more inclined to use strategy to resist and they wouldn't even let me get a hold of the candy in the first place 486 00:43:00,180 --> 00:43:07,540 There you go. Yeah, so what according to the myth should have been a simple task the easiest task of all simply wasn't 487 00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:14,660 Evasion and guilt strategies made it tricky and at times very difficult 488 00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:16,660 I feel terrible 489 00:43:16,660 --> 00:43:21,460 But ultimately the experiment was designed and executed to compare grip strength 490 00:43:21,860 --> 00:43:24,420 So the final result comes down to the numbers 491 00:43:25,460 --> 00:43:32,180 So where does that leave us? Well, if you remember our control it took 0.08 pounds of force to just lift our candy 492 00:43:32,660 --> 00:43:37,060 When you average the grip strength across all the babies we tested it came in in a shade of 493 00:43:37,380 --> 00:43:39,860 Two pounds of force to take the candy from them 494 00:43:40,420 --> 00:43:45,140 That means that it was 25 times more difficult to take candy from the babies 495 00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:50,580 That it was to just pick it up and that to me says that this myth is thoroughly busted 496 00:43:51,060 --> 00:43:55,540 What do you think? I agree now get out of the stroller and give me my monkey back
