It's science first up an explosive escape in the movie 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,540 The explosion was initiated by these eight rockets Adam and Jamie want to know if you were buried in a car grave 7 00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:27,020 Wow 8 00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:33,520 Could you survive an underground big boom? Let's blow it up and would it make a bulldozer fly? 9 00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:42,180 Then Carrie Grant and Tori take us on a wild ride to tackle a two-part tall tail 10 00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:46,500 You wanted the great mother of all elevators could an elevator really cut a car? 11 00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:51,860 And if it did my dust would it even be able to go 12 00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:57,580 Are the myth busters 13 00:00:57,820 --> 00:01:03,820 Adam Sabbath am I missing and I brought and Jamie Heineman stand clear. I'm going hot 14 00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:09,700 Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience joining them 15 00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:13,540 Carrie Byron are you ready? 16 00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:20,660 Tori Bellachy. This is real science and Grant imma hara. I didn't try to do that. They don't just tell the kids 17 00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:23,060 They put them to the test 18 00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,100 You 19 00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:37,780 Know what I'd like to do what something big like from a Hollywood blockbuster movie like the Green Hornet 20 00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:42,200 You're dreaming. We're never gonna get access to a movie like that. You're wrong 21 00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:43,980 Am I? 22 00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:49,020 Yes, in fact, I have Seth Rogen right here to prove to you how wrong you are 23 00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:55,780 How did this happen or friends we hang out all the time and by the way you are wrong 24 00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:03,140 Well, then awesome. We get to us. Midsome Green Hornet. Nice. What have you got for us rather than tell you? 25 00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:05,140 I think it's much more awesome if I show you 26 00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:07,780 roll the tape 27 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:15,980 In the movie after his father is killed Britt Reid decides to become mass crime fighter the Green Hornet 28 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:21,380 With the help of Kato is tech savvy psychic and the black beauty 29 00:02:22,460 --> 00:02:25,820 Our newly minted superhero takes on the bad guys 30 00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:33,040 And that brings us to the myth in a key scene the daring duo are forced into a car grave 31 00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:35,220 Covered with dirt 32 00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:38,100 And to top it off a bulldozer 33 00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:42,540 However, Kato has a plan hiding behind the armored seating 34 00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:47,860 They're going to detonate all aid of the cars missiles which has two dramatic consequences 35 00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:51,300 First the bulldozer gets blown skyward 36 00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:55,540 And the dynamic duo escape unscathed 37 00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:00,300 The question is are either of those outcomes even possible? 38 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,940 What do you think guys? Where do we start? I'm glad you ask excuse me, Jamie 39 00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:06,540 I think we just go for it. We match the movie 40 00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:12,520 Parameter for parameter we dig a hole we take the black beauty strap some rockets on the front put it in that hole 41 00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:17,620 With a couple of dummies in the back seat. That's you and Kato cover it with dirt part 42 00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:21,060 The bulldozer on the dirt blow the whole thing sky high 43 00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:21,740 That's right 44 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:27,820 And then we find out if the explosives on the car are actually enough to move this bulldozer and whether or not meaning Kato 45 00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:29,820 Can survive the blast 46 00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:38,180 The gauntlet has been thrown the challenge laid and on location the goal is to simulate the scene from the movie as 47 00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:44,620 Accurately as they can well this looks like a safe place to do some dangerous things. Let's go make some big moves 48 00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:51,260 So it's full steam ahead for the mother of all TNT parties as the guys recreate 49 00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:55,180 Adam's coffee bean model in full scale and here's how 50 00:03:57,180 --> 00:03:59,340 Let's walk through the elements of this test 51 00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:02,780 This is our hole 52 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:04,940 This is the dirt we're gonna use to fill it with 53 00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,860 Hey guys, I thought we were gonna dig a big hole 54 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:11,660 I'm kidding. This is clearly a very big hole 55 00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,260 congratulations and 56 00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:17,340 This little baby right here is the black beauty. Oh 57 00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:19,540 Look at that 58 00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:22,860 This is not the car will be dropping in our hole because this is one of the five 59 00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:26,900 Hero cars from the film and we can't afford to destroy it 60 00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:34,820 We'll be dropping a facsimile in our hole in the movie the explosion was initiated by these eight rockets 61 00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:40,020 Here in the front now each one of them is about four inches thick and about 21 inches long 62 00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:46,780 I figure that leaves us enough room for say a couple pounds of something like TNT in the head of each one 63 00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:49,500 And this is our bulldozer 64 00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:55,300 These are our heroes Kato and the green Hornet. They're gonna be in the black beauty behind the back seat 65 00:04:56,180 --> 00:05:02,940 If the scene in green Hornet actually does comply with the laws of physics two things have to happen when we try it one 66 00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:11,660 That bulldozer has to fly up in the air and off of the spot that it was formerly occupying and to our heroes have to survive that blast 67 00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:18,420 So those are the raw ingredients now to put them together and get cooking a key detail 68 00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:22,380 We haven't shown you from the movie is that Kato had armored the car 69 00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:27,460 He'd beefed up the seats that the heroes hide behind during the blast and if it's in the movie 70 00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:31,500 It's in the test. You think this is kind of armored Kato would have put in the car 71 00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:38,100 The key to any good experiment. I totally agree next with the green Hornet and Kato in place 72 00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:43,860 Adam adds pressure sensors to their chests that'll tell us if the explosion is survivable 73 00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:50,420 My only question is how can this machine tell you anything if it's exploded because the electrical signal travels faster than the explosion 74 00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:53,340 There you go. Who knew it's science 75 00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:57,620 Yep, the sensors are wired up to a remote station 76 00:05:57,620 --> 00:06:03,660 So that after the blast the team will have hard data on the kind of forces our dummies were exposed to 77 00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:07,580 Let's get friendly Kato. I've always dreamed of taping us together 78 00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:17,260 Nice let's blow it up. All right, let's do it 79 00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:23,380 That's the cue the bomb crew. Okay, let's give this thing a tune up 80 00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:25,380 Hey 81 00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:31,820 Black Beauty has 16 pounds of high explosives loaded into the front of it said you want to play blow up crap jump rope 82 00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:33,860 I'm good 83 00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:35,860 Now to put that into context 84 00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:42,300 That's the equivalent of the amount of explosives in 10 grenades. So when that goes off, it's big trouble 85 00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:47,140 What is stopping us from putting this car in this hole? Absolutely nothing at all. Let's do it 86 00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,940 Jamie, let's do it 87 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:53,820 That's the next step maneuvering the stand-in black beauty up and into the hole 88 00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:59,140 Which like everything else in the test exactly matches the dimensions of the one in the movie 89 00:06:59,140 --> 00:07:01,540 It's impressive that Jamie Douglas with his hands 90 00:07:01,540 --> 00:07:07,020 But even though the setup is the same Adam doesn't think the result will be a prediction 91 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,420 Yeah, I've got a prediction on this one actually don't get me wrong 92 00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:15,540 I love being surprised by the fact that sometimes movie physics actually comply with the laws of real physics 93 00:07:15,820 --> 00:07:17,820 Let's fill the hole Jamie 94 00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:24,320 But I don't think that is so in this case. I think that bulldozer is gonna stay exactly where it was 95 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,560 I don't think the blast is gonna move it and I also think that our heroes are going to die in that blast. Sorry guys 96 00:07:32,980 --> 00:07:38,660 I think that's pretty good. Let's bring in the dozer. I think that when they set off this bomb 97 00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:41,820 Exactly what happens in the movies gonna happen 98 00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:44,260 exactly 99 00:07:44,260 --> 00:07:46,260 They go around and push I 100 00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:53,380 Hope I'm right. I don't I'm gonna feel really stupid. Well, it's over the hole. Let's go push the button. Let's get safe 101 00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:04,260 So I hear you have a green hornet myth for us 102 00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:09,020 I sure do here's the myth the black beauty our car has been riddled with bullets in a car chase 103 00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:15,740 We drive into an elevator to escape the elevator lifts up our car and the back half of it actually gets sheared off 104 00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:17,020 As the elevator goes up 105 00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:21,860 But the front half of the car is able to drive out of the elevator keep on going now 106 00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:26,860 Wait a minute isn't the black beauty a Chrysler Imperial sure is well those are rear-wheel drive cars 107 00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:29,380 If we cut the back end off won't the front end just sit there 108 00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:36,420 It would had my amazing partner Kato not made our car front-wheel drive. He's tricky like that Kato magic 109 00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:42,060 Okay, it sounds like a good story for us can a bullet-ridden car be cut in half by an elevator and can it still drive afterwards? 110 00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:51,300 After the black beauty has been shot up it takes an unintentional ride in an elevator 111 00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:59,380 Drive a wheel type which leads to a two-part question with the car really bifurcate like this and 112 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:05,660 Given that it's been converted to front-wheel drive. Could it actually make good its two-wheeled escape? 113 00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:11,880 So can you guys actually do this or what oh, yeah, we're gonna build our own freight elevator and just go for it 114 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,980 Yeah, you know what this is gonna be pretty straightforward to test 115 00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:17,180 We'll just drive the car halfway in push the up button see what happens 116 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,060 But you know at first we need to get our own Chrysler Imperial 117 00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:26,300 Then give it a black beauty makeover and then fill it full of holes have fun. I'll be waiting right in this room 118 00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:29,220 Don't care how long it takes 119 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,500 He seems nicer in the movies 120 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:37,340 While Seth waits for results Grant gets busy with the delivery 121 00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:42,660 Now that's a pretty car and to transform her into the black beauty 122 00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:47,820 She needs a film prop makeover from an expert step up Carrie Byron 123 00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:51,220 I got a little bit of intel on the black beauty from the movie 124 00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:56,420 Now they used as many as 29 of this identical classic car to shoot the movie 125 00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:59,940 They needed them for all sorts of uses they need one in pristine original condition 126 00:09:59,940 --> 00:10:02,700 They needed one to shoot up they needed one with guns on it one to squish 127 00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:06,820 Our black beauty is going to meet its death in our elevator rig 128 00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:09,940 Not before I trick it out a little bit black beauty style 129 00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:17,020 When I see all the work that carries put into making this look like an exact replica of black beauty it 130 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,060 It kind of breaks my heart. I don't want to see it destroyed 131 00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:27,380 Carrie reluctantly hands it over because after the boys take it on one last joy ride 132 00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:31,220 This dead car driving will be facing the firing squad 133 00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:41,460 He forgot to install the parking brake on the black beauty. Oh, well, I ain't Kato 134 00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:47,740 Now it's time to get to the science of this experiment and that is we have to shoot this car 135 00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:50,020 With the hopes that we 136 00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:54,900 Weak in the structural integrity that will give us the best fighting chance of cutting this car in half with an elevator 137 00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:59,300 It pains me to think that we're gonna shoot something this beautiful 138 00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:02,620 I'm the only thing that gives me any consolation is the fact that we're gonna be using 139 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:06,500 Submachine guns to do it. I think I'll get over it. I 140 00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,620 Can't believe we're gonna do this. All right, you ready? 141 00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:15,860 No, here we go in three two one 142 00:11:16,020 --> 00:11:18,020 Fire 143 00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:30,020 Their goal is to match the movie scene shot for shot if the black beauty on screen had over 200 bullet holes 144 00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:32,060 Well, there's will to 145 00:11:35,460 --> 00:11:37,780 That didn't suck clear 146 00:11:39,060 --> 00:11:44,980 Start off with 25 rounds. We moved it to 50 finally. We got all the way up to 270 rounds 147 00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:49,140 But I mean I'm looking at it and I still see a lot of steel holding this car together 148 00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:54,740 I don't think we've done enough structural damage with those rounds to actually cut this car with an elevator 149 00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:00,740 If there's a circle of hell for people who destroy beautiful cars, that's where we're going 150 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:11,180 Of course, this is the black beauty. Let's go find some crime. Let's go find an elevator. Yeah 151 00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:19,860 Next on mythbusters three two one can a bulldozer fly and 152 00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:25,820 Can an elevator cut a car second floor ladies lingerie 153 00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:40,820 Adam and Jamie are about to find out if this scene from the green hornet is fact or a superhero hype 154 00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:48,980 Specifically, they've got two questions with the black beauties eight rockets have been enough to move the bulldozer up up and away 155 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:56,500 And second hidden behind the armored seating would our heroes have survived the blast 156 00:12:58,420 --> 00:13:04,460 With Seth Rogen the film star and writer on hand to help the team has matched the movie criteria 157 00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:07,020 Exactly and we're about to find out 158 00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:14,740 All right, this is green hornet the actual test going from broke in three two one fire 159 00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:30,940 Where's the bulldozer? It's not where it was for a brief moment with the dust cloud obscuring the scene the team thought it had blown away 160 00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:35,220 The bulldozer but with a clear view comes a sinking feeling 161 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:41,420 He didn't glue up a pocket, then it's yeah, it fell in 162 00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:46,460 Wow, that was a lot bigger than I thought it would be 163 00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:51,540 Yep, this wasn't a gasoline fuel movie special effect 164 00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:56,980 See been around movie set explosions. How does our real world one stack up? 165 00:13:57,260 --> 00:14:02,500 It was scary. There's a lot of spire in it, which makes me think it's actually probably a lot more destructive 166 00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:07,820 You kind of feel it a bit you had to get way farther away from it, which also made me think it was more dangerous 167 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:10,300 But it was a completely horrifying 168 00:14:10,820 --> 00:14:12,820 good, oh 169 00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:16,900 I think we're gonna need some bigger shovels. I 170 00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,500 Call not digging this out 171 00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:23,740 That's a heck of a pothole 172 00:14:24,580 --> 00:14:28,340 Well as you can see the loader is still here and still on top of the car 173 00:14:28,540 --> 00:14:35,060 It's down in the hole though and it kind of makes sense because energy is gonna follow the path of least resistance and in this case 174 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:41,020 That's the dirt push all the dirt out of the way the loader fell in the hole. Well, there's a problem 175 00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:44,540 There were two components to this story 176 00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:51,140 One was that the loader had to fly up in the air and away from the hole and the other is that our heroes inside the car 177 00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:55,980 Live through the blast. I think pretty clear that the first part is totally busted 178 00:14:55,980 --> 00:15:00,180 It's now time to get this first part out of the way so that we can check on the second 179 00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:06,500 Cue the heavy machinery to remove the heavy machinery and with the dozer out the way 180 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,500 The guys get down and dirty to look for our heroes 181 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:15,100 But the initial evidence twisted scraps of anonymous car does not bode well 182 00:15:16,180 --> 00:15:23,220 That does not look good. Plus the black beauty seems to be buried deeper than before and they call for reinforcements 183 00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:25,220 Let me get something bigger than me 184 00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:28,980 Awesome 185 00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:34,300 Ever delicate archaeological precision don't call the myth busters 186 00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:43,140 But as each piece of mangled wreckage emerges it becomes increasingly clear any hope for part two of the myth 187 00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:48,300 Hero survivability is dying things are not boating well for Britton Kato 188 00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:52,900 It's like soup in there 189 00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:55,980 Superhero soup with black beauty croutons 190 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:05,420 Dude, I think that's pretty definitive you guys are dead.

I think so let's go 212 00:17:39,740 --> 00:17:41,740 Carrie 213 00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:52,420 Grant and Tori arriving in their bullet riddled black beauty are about to test the green hornet car cleaving conundrum 214 00:17:53,580 --> 00:17:59,260 We're in a welding bay at Hunter's Point so that we can test the myth from the green hornet that a car can be cut in half by an elevator 215 00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:03,140 Now in the movie this wasn't just any old elevator 216 00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:09,000 This is a big glass elevator that the black beauty crashed through the side of and then got cut in half not by the elevator's door 217 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000 Frames, but actually by the ceiling 218 00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:16,540 Now we couldn't find any elevator like this at all anywhere so in myth busters fashion 219 00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:18,940 We're going to create our own and to do it 220 00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:26,140 They brought in over three and a half tons of steel for the elevator structure and a forklift to provide the lifts lift 221 00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:34,340 What I have here is a small-scale model of what we're going to be building now these pieces here will all be steel 222 00:18:34,340 --> 00:18:40,200 Eyebeams and across the top in the back now the ceiling in the movie will be represented by a steel trench plate 223 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,420 Which will weld to the top so all of this is going to be welded to the steel floor below us 224 00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:46,340 Which is embedded in the concrete now? 225 00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:51,020 It's important that this thing is structurally sound because when that forklift starts lifting the car 226 00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:55,660 There's going to be a lot of force exerted on this structure, and it cannot move 227 00:18:56,780 --> 00:19:03,440 With the three steel beams lifted shifted and welded securely and the elevator floor trench plate in position 228 00:19:03,860 --> 00:19:06,860 The elevator replica is just about good to go 229 00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:14,800 You wanted the great mother of all elevators well you got it behind me is three and a half tons of steel over 230 00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:21,420 15 linear feet of wealth now a regular service elevator has a lift capacity about 10,000 pounds 231 00:19:22,260 --> 00:19:29,200 Forklet that we're using has three and a half times that if this can't cut the car in half no elevator on earth will 232 00:19:29,660 --> 00:19:31,940 second floor ladies lingerie 233 00:19:33,820 --> 00:19:37,580 Meanwhile down on the ground floor black beauty is maneuvered into position 234 00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:44,420 Back to put our car into place, but we've drained all the fluids, so we need some heavy machinery to get it over there and 235 00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,500 Somebody shot up the tires 236 00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:49,340 All right 237 00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:51,840 We're in the elevator which means it's go time 238 00:19:52,660 --> 00:19:59,340 Okay, this is the green hornet black beauty biification by elevator in three two one go 239 00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:14,920 You know what there's no way this is happening no way 240 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,760 I mean that is way more powerful than a regular elevator and we still we're not able to cut that car in half 241 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,620 But power isn't really the point as Grant explains. It's about the way that power is applied 242 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,520 So we set everything up just like they had in the news and you know to get that sort of effect that that 243 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,800 Back into the car being chopped off the falling down you need a cutting force what we have here is a crushing force 244 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Wow 245 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,200 All right, that is a smash car that is not a car cut in half and that was an unrealistic amount of force that we put on it 246 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,640 Okay, I feel pretty good about going back to seven saying that this is Boston.

Well instead of ripping and tearing like a really high explosive does 337 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,320 This stuff is known for more pushing and moving of things 338 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,640 This bulldozer 339 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,520 It's heavier than my wife 340 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,400 That's why they use it in quarries and construction sites 341 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:44,760 So we're hoping that if we put that under our dozer it'll just move it away in one piece instead of blowing it to bits 342 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,840 Charged firing four pounds of Ampho in three two one 343 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,800 Oh 344 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,280 You have a landing that was quite and awesome thud 345 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,160 Yep the distinctive base earth moving thud of Anpho 346 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,160 But did it move the earth moving machinery in one piece? 347 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,120 It just sheared the welds that's amazing 348 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:37,360 The main section became separated from the bucket, but compared to the TNT the damage was minimal 349 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Came here today to figure out what is our ideal explosive for getting us the result that we see in the movie 350 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:50,920 What will move our tractor high into the air without turning it into a lot of little broken baby tractor bits? 351 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:57,680 And here is all of our evidence on my left the TNT blast this bucket is all that we found 352 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,160 It tore that thing to shreds on my right the slower moving 353 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,240 Anpho left us most of our evidence and threw it nice and high in the air and honestly for my money 354 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,760 I think it's the Ampho. I think this is most likely to get us the distance 355 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,240 We're looking for without the broken tractor bits that we don't want it's Ampho next 356 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,760 Will the half car go the full distance 357 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,080 So even if we weren't talking superheroes this still be busted because on the cars cut in half it doesn't run for very long 358 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,560 Yeah, some might say that's gonna someone drove it directly into a wall 359 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,000 Detail 360 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,680 All right 361 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,600 Well, I guess that's one way of saying our test came to an abrupt ending 362 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,400 But I mean let's face it 363 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,640 We put fuel in the lines and I had to use starter fluid in the carburetor to even get the car going true 364 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,280 But the superhero in me would like to remind you that Kato knew this car was gonna be cut in half all along 365 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,440 So he put a reserve fuel tank in the front of the car 366 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:02,040 So when our cars cut in half no fuel lines were actually cut in the first place in which case we need to modify our half car 367 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,040 And see if it can make it run for longer 368 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,040 Boom 369 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920 Okay, so Seth is stretching 370 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:16,840 But it's a legitimate test if the half car had the fuel could it drive for long enough to make a superhero style getaway 371 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,240 To find out the team hits the pedaluma speedway 372 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,800 And with a couple of laps under their belts they're ready to prep their ride 373 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:33,240 Just as Seth suggested his superhero sidekick Kato did they're adding a reserve fuel tank in the front 374 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,640 Without fuel 375 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,440 You don't go anywhere 376 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,760 But even with fuel will they go anywhere? 377 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:44,280 Will their half car be able to overcome the friction caused by the drag of the undercarriage? 378 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,320 And will the compromise structure remain intact for any kind of distance? 379 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:55,880 I think it'll make it three laps man. I would be happy if it made it one dude. I think five. Yeah, let's go. All right. Let's try 380 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,920 They eat my dust 381 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,280 I was like a kid this is half car drag race in three two one go 382 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,480 Get it drag race 383 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:18,520 That's a promising start and somewhat unexpected because despite a safe steady speed on the first lap 384 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,200 He's maintaining about 20 right now 385 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:31,400 Tori is clearly having no problems at all not what the team fought before they started picking up speed. He's up to 30 386 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,920 When Tori first started out he started out slow because let's face it 387 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,440 This is the first time we've ever driven a car that's been cut in half 388 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,440 And so his laps were maybe 10 15 miles an hour 389 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,920 Once you start getting the hang of driving it 390 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,760 He punched it and on the straightaways. He picked out at over 40 miles an hour 391 00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:00,200 I cannot believe how fast and how well this car drive. I mean the handling is a little tricky 392 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,080 It's kind of like driving on a wet road or maybe an icy road 393 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:12,120 That was lap 19 you're coming in for 20. I'm gonna be stopping you there. I cannot believe it 394 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,200 It worked cutting a car in half driving it worked 395 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,960 I 396 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:24,120 Against all the odds at exceeding all three team members expectations by a factor of at least four 397 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Tori completed 20 laps without a problem 398 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,440 That was crazy 399 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,000 That's 20 laps at 40 miles an hour and the car was sparking like it was catching on fire 400 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,360 Uh, that was great. No climbs at all. Half car altered plausible 401 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:48,760 Totally plausible. Oh if the black beauty had a reserve fuel tank and imminent separate brake lines. Yeah 402 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,160 Hey, don't tell kato 403 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,880 Good job. That was awesome 404 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,840 Oh my god, I keep going 405 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,440 So it's plausible you can drive half a car 406 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,600 But what about the myth as a whole for that rap? It's back to the show 407 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,400 Yeah, I think we've done enough damage here 408 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:14,040 All right, so how are we gonna wrap this one up? I think we're gonna have to call this one busted 409 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, I think I saw a different show than you guys 410 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,680 I we were not able to cut a car in half with an elevator car has a zipper thing in it 411 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,760 It cuts itself in half. All right. What about fuel line? He put it on the front. He knew 412 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,000 Okay, okay in the perfect superhero world if the black beauty happened to be a front wheel drive 413 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,800 Unlike anything of the era and the gas tank were in the front and the brakes were in the front 414 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,480 And it could get cut in half by an elevator. Sure. It's totally plausible 415 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:42,680 Plausible plausible plausible. Nope. So it's confirmed. Don't press your luck. Okay. I'll take plausible 416 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:53,240 Up next someone order some handful adam and jamie attempt to move the earth moving machinery with some precise explosive engineering 417 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,600 Having determined that the explosive escape myth is busted 418 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,760 It was a completely horrifying 419 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,600 Adam and jamie want to know what it would take to recreate the scene 420 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:20,760 The bulldozer has to get airborne remain intact for the flight and landed some distance away from its starting point 421 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:30,120 Let's do it having determined that ampho is our lifting explosive of choice. We've come back to try it full scale 422 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,920 That's right. We're gonna put 250 pounds of the stuff underneath our full-size dozer 423 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,680 We're gonna see if we can get it to fly just like we saw in the movie 424 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,200 I'd say that's perfect. That's the hole now for a whole lot of big boos 425 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:54,040 Someone order some info with the info laid into the trench in a carefully thought-out volume and configuration 426 00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:00,600 The crew rigged the detonation cord that'll initiate the explosion and that means everything's ready to blow 427 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,840 So adam and jamie bring in the big shovel to first fill in the hole 428 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,080 That's what i'm talking about and then maneuver the dozer into place 429 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,520 We've taken our 250 pounds of ampo and lined it up right down the length of our machine 430 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000 Just off center why off center? 431 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:23,320 Well, we hope that by putting it a little bit on this side just a few inches that when it goes off 432 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,760 It'll push the machine up and over that way and do our job for us. Oh, okay stop 433 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,280 That's perfect. Yep, blow it up 434 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,880 Now we've chosen to put 435 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,960 250 pounds of anfo under this tractor and we've chosen that number very carefully 436 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,640 We know how to blow up trucks. We've done it here 437 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,400 And here 438 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,600 But in this case we want to actually lift this truck without destroying it 439 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,840 And we have settled on 250 pounds as the most likely candidate for moving without destroying 440 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:06,760 But it's a gamble as they've only got one bulldozer and one shot at it. Are we ready? We are ready. Let's do it. Are you ready? 441 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:13,720 I sure am 250 pounds of ampo and three two one 442 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,840 I see pieces of tires 443 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400 I think it was lifted 444 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,640 I think it was lifted in a lot of little pieces 445 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,480 Like a nuclear cloud 446 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,160 Yeah, well that was so little more than we wanted wasn't it? 447 00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,720 What? Well, they got lift off 448 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,720 Several times in several different directions 449 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,200 And yes, perhaps they did use a fraction too much anfo 450 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:59,400 But adam doesn't seem too upset behind me a dust cloud that used to be the site on which our bulldozer sat 451 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:07,480 We can't see exactly what happened, but given the pieces of bulldozer and tires I saw flying from the main location 452 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,920 I think we destroyed a bulldozer 453 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,400 I'm not that broken up about it either 454 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:19,000 Adam may not be broken up, but anything at the center of this probably will be 455 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,960 Look at the shock wave. Wow. Ah, I love that 456 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,600 perfect sphere of destruction 457 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:34,200 Wow 458 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:41,640 There's no dozer, but there's no place where the dozer sat either. This hole is deeper than the hole we dug for the car 459 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,800 You think we went a little too far? Just a little 460 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,800 Well pigs may not fly but bulldozers apparently can at least in little pieces 461 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000 Now look, there's the wheel 462 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:04,360 And those pieces clock some frequent flyer miles. This is about 500 feet from the blast center 463 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,240 Wow 464 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,520 That's awesome 465 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,400 The most damning aspect of this is 466 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:19,320 I'm sitting on the biggest part of the bulldozer that we can find and it's sitting about as far from the hole as we saw 467 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960 The bulldozer fly in the movie except the hole 468 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,720 Is a hole the size of the car that would be there 469 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,000 The entirety of the thing would have been vaporized along with the two heroes in the car 470 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:38,600 It's really quite spectacular. I hope this goes to show you kids at home that bulldozers and explosives just don't mix 471 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,080 Well, let me see if I can 472 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,560 reconstruct the scene here 473 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,160 Now you got your throttle and you got your seat 474 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,600 Even with the slower detonation velocity and the higher pushing power of the ampho 475 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,240 We weren't quite able to get that sweet spot 476 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,120 We were looking for where everything is perfectly balanced and the machine comes up off the hole and 477 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,520 Sets down nicely someplace else 478 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,840 The thing is for that to happen 479 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,160 All sorts of things have to be balanced just so the exact 480 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:21,480 configuration and quantity of the explosives the exact amount of earth on top of the explosives 481 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,240 The weight and the configuration of the machine overhead 482 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:31,720 All of that stuff has to come into just one moment of interacting perfectly for this to happen 483 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,200 We didn't quite get it 484 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,560 So where do we stand on this one? 485 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,240 Well, given an infinite quantity of bulldozers and explosives 486 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,680 We might be able to figure out how to move one without destroying it 487 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200 But yeah, but there's no permutation of any amount of explosives that could move 488 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:52,360 Even the dozer a little bit that wouldn't leave the guys in the car vaporized jelly. This thing's totally busted. Yeah, it's busted 489 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000 You think seth is going to be man? 490 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000 He'll get over 491 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,200 You
