1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
So it's that way, is it?

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Each shrimp savage

3
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Okay stop stop.

4
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Shall we put some of this chaos to work?

5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Sounds tasty.

6
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Let's get cooking.

7
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Music

8
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So what's cooking?

9
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Well in this final season episode we are paying homage to our foodie past

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
with a couple of myths that we could couch under the rubric

11
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
cooking chaos.

12
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Like what?

13
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Well later we're going to be creating some fruit juice using nothing but fruit and explosives.

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Music

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
We just blow up a tomato and now we're trying to have a drink.

16
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
But first up we have a viral video.

17
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Two women are seen loading raw shrimp into what looks like an air cannon.

18
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
They then fire it.

19
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Music

20
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Through crowds of flour, egg, breadcrumbs and eventually a fireball where the shrimp hit a target,

21
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
land on a plate and seem to be perfectly cooked.

22
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Instant tempura.

23
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Exactly and I think we should try doing it.

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Yum.

25
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
For 14 years the mythbusters have dined.

26
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You want to try some?

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Oh ha ha ha you can't.

28
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Devoured and feasted.

29
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It can't hold it anymore.

30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
On some fantastically far-fetched

31
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Oh!

32
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Food fables.

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Alright meat and high explosives.

34
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Music

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
But in this farewell season spectacular

36
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
They're going to crank up the cooking chaos to the max with a classic mythbuster medley.

37
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Oh ha ha ha ha.

38
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Like some sort of jet engine.

39
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,000
First up is it really possible to coordinate four explosive ingredients and a fireball to fry on the fly?

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
To test it they have to copy the video's crazy contraption.

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
It's going to be a challenge.

42
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Music

43
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Alright let's start by listing the components.

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
What do we got?

45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
We have some sort of pneumatic cannon.

46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
A flour cannon.

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Then we've got the egg wash.

48
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And then a bread crumb cannon.

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And then of course there's fire.

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And then the target.

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
The flour cannon and the bread crumb cannon are effectively the same device.

52
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I can jump on that.

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Okay well I'll take care of the egg wash and the cannon.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I think I have just the thing.

55
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Oh ha ha ha ha.

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
This launch has been on the show several times before.

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
The last one was testing whether rocks coming out of the lawn more could be lethal or not.

58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Music

59
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Wow.

60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Now the benefit of using a pneumatic launcher like this is that we can shoot just about anything that we can fit in the barrel.

61
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And because it has a regulator we can precisely adjust the speed.

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Now in the case of shrimp that's doubly important because we want to fire the whole shrimp intact.

63
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
We don't want to shoot a cloud of shrimp bits at our target.

64
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And with a little modification here and there I think this might just do the trick.

65
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
That's the shrimp launcher.

66
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Next comes the cannon for the dry ingredients.

67
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
First the bread crumbs.

68
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
All right allow me to walk you through the components.

69
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
First and foremost we have the cones that will shoot out the bread crumbs.

70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
These horns are being powered by air which is blasted up through these tubes to this T coming out of this large pneumatic valve.

71
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:54,000
It's actually an electromagnetic valve so when I apply a little power to it under pressure it will release air and hopefully send the bread crumbs flying.

72
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Jamie's going to be like why does my shop smell like an Italian restaurant?

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
If I wanted an Italian restaurant I'd open one.

74
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
To keep the mess to a minimum Adam fills half of the cones for a quick systems check.

75
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
This is bread crumb horn test.

76
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Three, two, one.

77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Ah!

78
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That's lovely!

79
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:34,000
That works and while Adam knocks up an identical system for the flour, Jamie's getting eggy with it.

80
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
I've got to figure out how to shoot egg wash down.

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000
This is a solenoid valve. It's an electronic valve that opens and closes a stream of air.

82
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Oops, wrong end.

83
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And that's fine but I'm using egg and I don't want to clog it up.

84
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:59,000
What I'm going to use is this puppy right here which has a similar solenoid valve here and a piston with a rack and pinion on it that rotates a ball valve.

85
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
And I can send anything I want through here and not gum anything up.

86
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
It's done.

87
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
To test that it matches the spray in the video.

88
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
It's going to be hard to make it with this camera in there. Hold on.

89
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Mmm!

90
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Delicious!

91
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Adam whips up some egg like liquid.

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Oh, yummy! Look at that!

93
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Briggs Jamie's host to its compressed air power source.

94
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Three, two, one.

95
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
And let's loose.

96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Ha! Beautiful!

97
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
And the flower thrower also gets a systems check.

98
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Here you can run that sound effect right over the high speed.

99
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:03,000
That just leaves the fireball but that will be assembled on location because the team has a dubious safety record at M5.

100
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Am I missing an eyebrow?

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:14,000
So before things heat up, it's time to tackle another classic Kniffbusters conundrum.

102
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Juicing the inside of fruit with an explosion.

103
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
So tell me about creating smoothies inside fruits and vegetables using explosives.

104
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Well, you pretty much outlined the whole thing right there.

105
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:37,000
It is in a viral video we found where apparently the shockwave of an explosion can be tuned perfectly enough to not destroy the outside of the fruit

106
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:45,000
but turn the inside into juice such that you can stick a straw in and have a refreshing drink.

107
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Hmm. Well, I'm dubious but sounds like fun.

108
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
I agree. Let's do it.

109
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000
It's a deadly fruit cocktail only the Miffbusters can tackle and they've got just the place to do it.

110
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
When you want to investigate the power of an explosion, we have a place we like to get. Actually, we have a lot of places we go.

111
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000
But our home away from home and the place we go more than any other is right here at the Alameda County Sheriff's Department.

112
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000
We've been coming here for more than a decade and we have blown up thousands of things on this property.

113
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
It's like a clown's head exploded.

114
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Today, however, we're doing things just a little bit differently.

115
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Yep, this time they won't be destroying so much as creating and continuing.

116
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Okay.

117
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,000
To test the premise of the video and its use of surgically precise high explosives.

118
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
I love filling waterproof tanks.

119
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000
They have to accurately recreate all of the elements starting with the water filled, glass proof box.

120
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
We've gone above and beyond to make this tank really robust because water doesn't compress.

121
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
You're effectively delivering a hammer blow to that structure.

122
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
One.

123
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
That worked beautifully.

124
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
In this case, the ballistic material is probably the weak point.

125
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
It's made to stop a bullet.

126
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
But what it'll do with an explosive, it's anybody's guess.

127
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I can tell you one thing for sure. I'm going to be standing well back.

128
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Now to position the fruit at explosive as per the video.

129
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Now that our tank is set up and filled with water, let's talk about the parameters for this experiment.

130
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
First and foremost is the explosive.

131
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Now in the video, they show that the explosive is 17.5 centimeters from the fruit.

132
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
That's the radius of the explosion.

133
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And the explosion goes to about 2.5 centimeters or 1 inch away from the fruit.

134
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
We double that, calculate the diameter.

135
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
It comes to about a 12 or 13 inch cavitation that the explosive creates.

136
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
So we're going to be using one of these things.

137
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
It's a blasting cap. It's what we saw them use in the video.

138
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Nice.

139
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Great.

140
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
It's easily set off by applying a small amount of electric current to these wires.

141
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
That's about as dead center as we can get.

142
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:58,000
The blasting cap has 3,640 joules of energy and should match the explosive bubble in the video.

143
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Now for the shrink wrap tomato.

144
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
This is a polyolefin bag and I can shrink it.

145
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
There you go.

146
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Oh, that's beautiful.

147
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Do you think this will float?

148
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
I think it will.

149
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
What are we going to do about that?

150
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I've got a magnet with a string on it and I figure I'll attach it to the bottom and we'll hang the blasting cap from the top.

151
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
The fruit is suspended according to the reference, 7 inches from the blasting cap.

152
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
And the setup is complete.

153
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Will the blast wave leave the exterior surface intact and juice the interior cellular structure?

154
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Or is it just another far-fetched fake film?

155
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
They're all set to take the plunge.

156
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
You ready?

157
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
I'm ready.

158
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Fire the hole! Fire the hole! Fire the hole!

159
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
The hole thing jumped.

160
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
That was awesome.

161
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
What?

162
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Just how awesome is illustrated on the high-speed camera?

163
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Whoa, look at that beautiful bubble.

164
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Wow!

165
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
We have this perfect 12-inch cavitation.

166
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
As per the video, the tomato skin is intact, but has it been juice?

167
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
I've got some straws.

168
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Now, if the video is to be believed, I should get tomato juice out of this.

169
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Aaron, do you want to try it?

170
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
All right.

171
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Oh, oh, oh, what, what? Hey!

172
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
You're kind of getting some juice there.

173
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Janie manages to suck up a decent mouthful of juice.

174
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I did.

175
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
At Adam, comparing it to an unexploded raw control with zero liquid uptake...

176
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I'm getting nothing.

177
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
...thinks they may be onto something.

178
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
This is so ludicrous.

179
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
We just blow up a tomato and now we're trying to have a drink.

180
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
What does? No big.

181
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Question is, where to now?

182
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Okay, did you see what I see there?

183
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Yeah, exactly.

184
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Our tomato was just a little too far from the bubble.

185
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I'd say about two inches away, and we needed to be one inch away, like we see in the video.

186
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
That is our next test.

187
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Coming up on this final season food spectacular,

188
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
the fruit apocalypse continues.

189
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000
And cooking shrimp gets a mad max makeover.

190
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Eat shrimp and die, m****.

191
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
For more than a decade, the mythbusters have put kitchen catastrophes to the test.

192
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
We should never do this at home.

193
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
To sign off their food fun and style, they're going out with a classic experimental bag.

194
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Here's what just happened.

195
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
We detonated a blasting cap seven inches away from a tomato,

196
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
and it seems we made a difference in how much juice we were able to get out of that tomato.

197
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Hey, you're kind of getting some juice there.

198
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I did.

199
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000
So we're going to do it again, except next time we're going to move the tomato a little bit closer.

200
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And there it is, exactly six inches, one inch closer than last time.

201
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Because that might get even more of a definitive Brazil.

202
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Fire the hole!

203
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
That doesn't get old.

204
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
The skin once again survived a blast wave measuring more than 27,000 feet per second.

205
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
And thanks to advances in camera tech, we can see the positioning perfectly matched the clip.

206
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
We're not messing around when it comes to the high speed footage.

207
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
This camera is state of the art, and it films at a maximum frame rate of 28,000 frames per second in HD.

208
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
But what about the all important taste test?

209
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
That looks like a lot of juice.

210
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
That was almost a mouthful.

211
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Really?

212
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Yeah.

213
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
We're a lot further along on this than I thought we would be.

214
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I thought this was that realm of almost total fantasy.

215
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
I have to admit on this one you have to color me totally surprised.

216
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I was sure our explosive was going to rip apart the outside of our fruit.

217
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And even if it didn't, there was no way it was going to yield actual juice.

218
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Now we will compare the juice we get from the explosive to an industrial juicer later,

219
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
but right now we are going to start looking for the sweet spot.

220
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Four and a half.

221
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
There you go.

222
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Fire the hole!

223
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And that is how close we can get the explosive to the fruit before we start to destroy the skin.

224
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
That's where we'll get maximum juice.

225
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
This is our cooking show.

226
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Three, two, one.

227
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Yep, they want to get as close as they can without rupturing the tomato.

228
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Fruit is still intact.

229
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
To get the highest juice yield possible.

230
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
That looks amazing.

231
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
He's getting juice out of it.

232
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
It's the same story at three inches.

233
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
What?

234
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Still there.

235
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I don't know that we've reached the outer skin.

236
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
This is amazing.

237
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And even at 1.5 inches.

238
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
And most importantly, Jamie seems to be getting more juice each time.

239
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Look at that, dude.

240
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
That looks like the best one yet.

241
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
When Jamie's people come and invade the earth, this is what they're going to do to our planet.

242
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I feel like a mosquito.

243
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Until half an inch proves too close for comfort.

244
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
One!

245
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Yep, finally.

246
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000
We figured out how close you can get and actually herd a tomato.

247
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Before they quantify just how much juice they're detonating and deliberate on the result,

248
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
it's back to the shrimp course.

249
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,000
One of the great things about shooting the show in the Bay Area is that we have such a wonderful array of places to run our experiments at.

250
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:47,000
This one in particular is going to be perfect for us to run an experiment that involves shrimp, guns, air cannons and fireballs.

251
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,000
The engineering challenge they're facing to even test this viral video is as tough as it gets.

252
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
A ballistic ballet of perfectly choreographed explosive ingredients.

253
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,000
We have watched this video dozens of times and looked at every single shot of the rig.

254
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Beauty.

255
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:21,000
And we have measured as best we can the distances between each of the stations and replicated exactly the journey of the shrimp from gun to plate.

256
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I love color.

257
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
With the system laid out according to the video reference, Jamie hooks up the power source.

258
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Given that this whole thing is driven by air, we don't want any leaks.

259
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
While Jamie springs into action, unspringing any leaks,

260
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Lake number three, Adam attempts to avoid product placement.

261
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
In the video, the target seems to be a pillow, a bubble.

262
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
So am I allowed to say bubble?

263
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
The world.

264
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000
In the video, the target seems to be a pillow of this bubble packaging stuff.

265
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
You know what it's called.

266
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I'm going to make a pillow of the same stuff.

267
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
With their trademark target taped into place.

268
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Time for shooting and the firing squad peeled and prepped.

269
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
They're all set to test the first cog in their multi part machine, the shrimp cannon.

270
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,000
After all of our prep work, what remains to be done is to fire shrimp from this gun and see, well, just how accurately it fires.

271
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Oh, look at those.

272
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
But this whole machine depends upon this shrimp firing accurately.

273
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
The shrimp gun is locked and loaded.

274
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I for one think that there may be a little adjustment after the first time we fired.

275
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Here we go.

276
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
In three, two, one.

277
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I got shrimp on my nose.

278
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
What happened?

279
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The first test, well, my face got covered with shrimp guts.

280
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
And that's the best I can say about that test.

281
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,000
It was pretty much a total failure, but we're going to hold down the shrimp cartridge so it doesn't jump like it did last time.

282
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Okay, so I'm going to hold on to that and see if we can't get the shrimps to hit the target.

283
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Shrimp cannon test fire number two.

284
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
That's the first test.

285
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Then the second one is to make sure they hit it consistently in three, two, one.

286
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
We might have a problem on our hands.

287
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Shrimp, no.

288
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Nice.

289
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
What?

290
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Shrimp no.

291
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Let's go collect the shrimp no.

292
00:19:51,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Right out of the gate, it's not looking too good for this story because we didn't even get to the target and our shrimp basically disintegrated.

293
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Oh, it gratifies eyeball.

294
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
There's a little bits everywhere.

295
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
And we can't just add more pressure.

296
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
It's just going to disintegrate them more.

297
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
And that means that we've got to do something to doctor this a little bit.

298
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:25,000
And what it would take is what is known as a sabote, which is behind the shrimp and takes the brunt of the force of the air blast, pushing the shrimp out of the cannon without destroying them.

299
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Things we turn out to get good at that will never be useful again.

300
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And then that sabote or wadding falls away before it reaches the target.

301
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Test number three, three, two, one.

302
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000
That was a little better.

303
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
That was a lot better. All three of them hit the back target. And if I'm not incorrect, at the same time.

304
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000
The sabote was successful. The shrimp stayed intact. And with a small adjustment to the aim.

305
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Ah, that was perfect.

306
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
That was perfect. I was going to say almost perfect, but that was perfect.

307
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
The guys seem happy.

308
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Spank right into the pillow.

309
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Couldn't be better.

310
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000
That success means they can go again, this time to measure the flight time.

311
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
For the record, the last one took 392 milliseconds to reach from the end of the barrel to the target.

312
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:28,000
And with that, they're ready to coordinate the launch of the shrimp with each ingredient and the final fiery piece of the puzzle.

313
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Nice.

314
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
That's the coolest toy ever.

315
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Welcome back. We have been attempting to cook a shrimp in midair.

316
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
So far, we've got the shrimp flying consistently into a target.

317
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Spank right into the pillow.

318
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And now we need to set off each of those elements at precisely the right time.

319
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,000
For that, we're going to be using these timers, which will allow us to tune everything the way we need it within milliseconds.

320
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
That's the key to this complicated cooking method, the launch sequence.

321
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
All right.

322
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Each element has its own trigger, delayed depending on how fast that ingredient reaches its optimum spread.

323
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And they have to be wired together to fire and sink.

324
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I love these situations when we've set this stuff up like a house of cards.

325
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
All we have to do is take off one of these and run it to run it to our AC line.

326
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
There's all these switches and solenoids and all bunch of other stuff.

327
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Activating all at once and it's almost too much to comprehend.

328
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,000
I don't think you're right. You only have one. The switch only activates one of two legs.

329
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
It's cool.

330
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
The question is, will it work?

331
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Things are about to get messy.

332
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Cue a 500-degree fireball.

333
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Yes, this is what you've been waiting for.

334
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Like this. Cook shrimp.

335
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Might be next.

336
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this might be the weirdest machine we've built on the shelf.

337
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It's right up there.

338
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
This one's for the money.

339
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
I'm going to try cooking shrimp in midair.

340
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
In. Three. Two. One.

341
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Dude! That was beautiful.

342
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Shrimp are leaving.

343
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
It's going through the flower. Awesome!

344
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Go shoot the egg!

345
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
And the red course!

346
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Oh my god.

347
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
And the fire!

348
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
It worked! That is awesome.

349
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
It's an astonishing ballet of edible ballistics.

350
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Each ingredient timed with millisecond accuracy.

351
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,000
And if the video is to be believed, that means we have a plate full of cooked shrimp, right?

352
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Here's one here.

353
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
He's not coated or cooked.

354
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Wrong.

355
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
What?

356
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Our machine works beautifully.

357
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
The shrimp is flying through clouds of flour, breadcrumbs, egg, and fire.

358
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
But it's not getting coated. It's not getting covered. And it's definitely not getting cooked.

359
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
This guy does have what appear to be some breadcrumbs on it.

360
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
But like three?

361
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Yeah.

362
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Okay. So we need like hundreds more.

363
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,000
After timing the flight of the shrimp with millisecond accuracy, it turns out time was never on their side.

364
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000
The problem is that if we slow the shrimp down long enough to allow these processes time to work,

365
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
the shrimp are going to fall short of the target.

366
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
It could make the clouds larger and shoot over a longer distance,

367
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
but that would require more air pressure, which most likely is going to blow the shrimp apart.

368
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
It's a classic catch-22.

369
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,000
To coat the shrimp requires a much longer flight time, but that would destroy it.

370
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
So that part of the video was clearly faked.

371
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And then there's the fire.

372
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
For the same reason that flicking your hand through a candle flame doesn't burn you,

373
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,000
the shrimp just doesn't spend enough time in the fire to get cooked.

374
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And we can't, for all the reasons Jamie just stated, let it spend more time in the fire.

375
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
But we can make the fire hotter.

376
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
This is a five-burner sword forge running pro-pay.

377
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
It runs about four times as hot as our flame bar.

378
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
2,000 degrees.

379
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
And because it's a sword forge, it's open on either end.

380
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
That means we're going to shoot our shrimp right through the middle of this baby.

381
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000
If that doesn't cook our shrimp in midair, I don't know what would.

382
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Before the shrimp fly through the forge, go!

383
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Jamie and Adam are facing the far-fetched fact that fruit could be juiced using an explosion.

384
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Alright, once we figured out that we had the right explosive,

385
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
that putting it seven inches away from our tomato did not destroy it and gave us juice,

386
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
then we figured out that putting it ever closer still didn't destroy the tomato,

387
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
but got us more juice each time.

388
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000
The question was, how close can you get to get the maximum amount of juice without destroying the tomato?

389
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And that distance turns out to be one and a half inches.

390
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
But now it's time to figure out exactly how much juice we can get out of that to actually quantify it.

391
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:51,000
How? Well, earlier back at the shop, we quantified the amount of juice that we got from a tomato using an industrial juicer.

392
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,000
And it was 62%. That means I got 62% of the weight of the tomato out in delicious tomato juice.

393
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Now we're going to compare that to what we get from a tomato detonated at our sweet spot of one and a half inches.

394
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Alright, so here's how this is going to work.

395
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
I've got a vacuum pump, a containment vessel, and a straw at the end of a tube.

396
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
The vacuum pump will pull air out of this, which will then come through this straw.

397
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
We stick the straw into the tomato and it acts just like Jamie's mouth, sucking the tomato juice out.

398
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Oh. That's vigorous.

399
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
That's actually pretty impressive, isn't it? Yeah.

400
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000
It's coming.

401
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Alright, alright, alright, alright. I think that's more than a human could get out.

402
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Which we then weigh in this cup and determine exactly what percentage of juice we got out by detonating a blasted cat near the tomato.

403
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,000
60. This works out beautifully. 180 gram tomato, we got 60 grams of juice. That's exactly one third.

404
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:59,000
That is 30% of the tomato in juice. That's half of what you get out of an industrial juicer, but that's a lot more than I thought we'd get.

405
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I actually believe that we are drifting dangerously into plausible territory here.

406
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
In fact, after all this blasting, I'm not sure where we could go from here.

407
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Yes, using a precisely calibrated explosive charge, it's possible to juice the inside of a tomato.

408
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And there really is only one place to go from here.

409
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Impatented Mythbusters style is bigger, better.

410
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I think we need more explosives.

411
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Welcome back. All episode long, we've been attempting to replicate a viral video we found, which seems to show that a small amount of explosives can turn a tomato into a tomato juice dispenser.

412
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000
That is, that it can turn the inside of a tomato to liquid you can drink while not damaging the outside.

413
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And astonishingly, we seem to have determined that this is actually true.

414
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Now, of course, it's Mythbusters, so where a small amount of explosives seems to work pretty well, a large amount of explosives ought to work a lot better.

415
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
This time around, we're going to be using 20 pounds of TNT. Nice.

416
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
It's nice and peaceful out here. At least, right now it is.

417
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
And that's going to create a much larger and more powerful pressure weight.

418
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000
So, in theory, that should do a better job of creating more juice.

419
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:37,000
The blasting cap yield was 30%. To attempt to maximize the juice, they're scaling up the explosion energy by a factor of 10,000.

420
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:48,000
All right, let's double check our supplies. We've got mesh bags, check oranges, check cucumbers, check tomatoes, wrapped, check pineapples, check 20 pounds of TNT.

421
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Let's make some fruit juice.

422
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:01,000
While Adam and Jamie know a tomato works, the video also shows a variety of fruit and veg being satisfactorily slurred.

423
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
So, to find out if this juicing technique really is that flexible, they're covering their bases.

424
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Let's start attaching them to the buoys.

425
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Finally, without knowing the ideal distance for this sized explosion, each bag is placed under the surface at staggered intervals.

426
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
There's the 10.

427
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
The blasting cap is an explosive energy of 3,640 joules.

428
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000
20 pounds of TNT has 37 megajoules.

429
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Will the larger amplitude blast wave be more effective? We're about to find out.

430
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Does it look beautiful?

431
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Yeah, it's perfect.

432
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,000
All right, Captain, back to shore. Let me explain our methodology, although I think it's pretty straightforward.

433
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,000
At the three orange buoys at the end of that line, we're going to hang 20 pounds of explosives 10 feet down.

434
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
At each of the numbered markers is hanging a bag of fruit about 5 feet down.

435
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Okay, large scale fruit smoothie.

436
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,000
We're going to set off those explosives in three.

437
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Retrieve what fruit we can to and find out how juicy the explosives made it.

438
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000
One.

439
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Yeah, that was a little more energetic than I thought.

440
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,000
More energetic at 8,000 frames per second. It's also beautiful.

441
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,000
You can see the original impulse of the explosive starting to expand,

442
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000
and then you can see a set of different speed shock waves emanating out from that center.

443
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Then you can also see some of the reflected waves, which are bouncing off the bottom of the lake,

444
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
also interrupting and creating secondary artifacts around the primary shock wave.

445
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
This is one of the loveliest shots of an explosion I think that we have ever got.

446
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
That's 40.

447
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
But did they get any juice?

448
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
That's 30.

449
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
This is actually pretty darn cool.

450
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000
We were afraid when we first saw the explosion go off that we'd lost like most of our fruit,

451
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,000
but it turns out it seems that we have lost our 2, 5, and 10 foot bags,

452
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
which we kind of expected because there's so much more to it.

453
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
We got them from 15. Awesome.

454
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,000
But we have 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40.

455
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Now it's time to inspect and see just how juicy our bouquets of fruit and vegetables are.

456
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
The initial signs, oh man, are not great.

457
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Okay, I'm just going to go on a limb and say cucumbers do not like explosives.

458
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Searching through the debris, many of the most recent explosives have been found.

459
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Okay, I'm just going to go on a limb and say cucumbers do not like explosives.

460
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Searching through the debris, many of the victims are ruptured, but luckily not all.

461
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
This one's been compromised.

462
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
There is evidence of tenderization.

463
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
It's definitely softer.

464
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
At 40 feet?

465
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Uh, no, so I'd say that orange is not a fruit juice dispenser.

466
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,000
30.

467
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Nope.

468
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Nope.

469
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
25 and 20.

470
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Tomatoes.

471
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,000
That one's dead.

472
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
It's the kind of carnage that can only be yielded by the episode of investors.

473
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000
But by the time all survivors have been examined, the results are definitive.

474
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Now, it's the same thing as before.

475
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Not juice.

476
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Not juice.

477
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Tender.

478
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Tender, but not juice.

479
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,000
So, it seems like bigger is not better in this case, huh?

480
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,000
No, no, we found at least one thing for which more explosives do not get a better result.

481
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
But why didn't it scale up?

482
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Whoa!

483
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000
We know that blast pressures can bounce off of surfaces.

484
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
They can reflect.

485
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And so that small container caused the blast pressure to go back and forth and back and forth through the fruit a bunch of times,

486
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
each time breaking the cell walls a little bit more.

487
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,000
So that may actually have been the ideal situation, even though the amount of explosive was very small.

488
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
If you remember, we started out with a viral video that seemed to imply that with a little boom in a box,

489
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
you could generate sweet juice out of something like a tomato.

490
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000
In that scale, we actually succeeded in getting some lovely gulps of juice out of a tomato.

491
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Now, it didn't work when we scaled it up, but I have to say,

492
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
given how well it worked in the scale that the video shows,

493
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
I think that we're going to have to call this one plausible.

494
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
This is the final season of the season.

495
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,000
The final season of the season is coming up.

496
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Welcome to Jamie's Temporar Kitchen.

497
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
This final season spectacular signs off with a sword forge fried shrimp.

498
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Like some sort of jet engine.

499
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,000
To celebrate the final season, this is the Mythbusters number crunching countdown.

500
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Over the last 14 years, the team has tested tasty beverages and crazy explosive cuisine

501
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,000
in a gut-busting, calorie-counting 71 story.

502
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Their Epicurean curiosity has guzzled 240 gallons of cola and 14 kegs of beer.

503
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Oh, it's a delicious memory.

504
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Behind and for the camera, they've devoured 1,500 donuts.

505
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,000
On seven occasions, they've raised the stakes with exploding steak,

506
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Matty, tasty meat,

507
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
lathe, five salamis,

508
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,000
and imbibed alcohol for science 23 times.

509
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Cheers.

510
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
What?

511
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
We've been trying to cook shrimp in midair and so far we've got focus.

512
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000
We were able to exactly replicate the process as we saw in that video,

513
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
but the problem is we weren't able to replicate any of the results.

514
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
And when you think about it, it's not really surprising

515
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
because all of these activities are occurring in the course of milliseconds.

516
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,000
So there's not really any time for coding or cooking anything.

517
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
We have no choice, therefore, but to conclude that those results were faked.

518
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Of course, we're not done yet.

519
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Yep, in this final season food challenge...

520
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Yeah, I like it further away.

521
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Me too.

522
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,000
They have to exhaust all reasonable possibilities.

523
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:08,000
With the ingredient clouds busted as a possibility, it boils down to heat.

524
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
It's gonna get hot in here.

525
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
A sword forage.

526
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Welcome to Jamie's Temporary Kitchen.

527
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Versus a single pre-prepared shrimp.

528
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
I'm a shrimp student, aren't I?

529
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Science is often about refining questions and removing variables,

530
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
and we have done both of those here.

531
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
I'll turn on the gas.

532
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Shrimp, gun, furnace.

533
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
It's gonna take a few minutes to get hot.

534
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Hopefully cook shrimp on the other side.

535
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
We are soon to find out.

536
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,000
I'm getting about 2,100 degrees.

537
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
That's five times hotter than we were getting in our fireball.

538
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Yeah.

539
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000
750,000 British thermal units of heat energy are generated by this propane powered forge.

540
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
It's like some sort of jet engine.

541
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Each of those BTUs can raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

542
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

543
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Dude, that is one hot oven.

544
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Here we go.

545
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000
But is there enough time for that energy to cook the pre-prepped shrimp?

546
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I'm feeling good about this.

547
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Here we go, fire and shrimp through a forge.

548
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
And three, two, one, go!

549
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:36,000
The shrimp fired through the forge accurately.

550
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
But did it fry?

551
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Does it seem at all cooked to you?

552
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Are the breadcrumbs crispy at all?

553
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Uh...no.

554
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
We upped our fire game significantly in this last experiment

555
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:02,000
where formerly we had a fireball that was about as hot as a consumer oven, 500 degrees.

556
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
This forge was 2,000 degrees.

557
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
We fired the shrimp through it and we ended up with a room temperature shrimp.

558
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
And I can feel this is cold.

559
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
It's cold? Oh, great.

560
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
It's 67 degrees.

561
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Yeah, room temperature.

562
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Room temperature.

563
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
That's not a cooked shrimp.

564
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Despite trying several times...

565
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,000
It hit the plate!

566
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000
The flying shrimp shows no sign of warming to the occasion.

567
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Ta-ta-ta-ta.

568
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Stop right there!

569
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
66 degrees!

570
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Most people would give up at this point, but come on.

571
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
We're not most people.

572
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
We're gonna continue.

573
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,000
How about instead of three feet of sword forge, 12 feet of sword forge.

574
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Yeah, evil laugh.

575
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
We're gonna set this up and try it again.

576
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,840
Using all of their 14 years of experience,

577
00:39:50,940 --> 00:39:54,340
this is the very cutting edge of ramping it up.

578
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,680
For reference, a typical kitchen burner

579
00:39:56,780 --> 00:40:01,420
is putting out 10,000 to 15,000 BTUs.

580
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,420
This set up right here, 3 million BTUs, all in case,

581
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,560
and one long square tube.

582
00:40:08,660 --> 00:40:10,560
That's pretty extreme heat.

583
00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:11,800
You ready to fire it up?

584
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:13,600
Let's do it.

585
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:15,600
This is it.

586
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:17,040
I'm looking.

587
00:40:17,060 --> 00:40:18,640
It's looking pretty good.

588
00:40:18,740 --> 00:40:22,540
One final fry on the fly try.

589
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,680
Oh!

590
00:40:23,780 --> 00:40:25,280
One last chance.

591
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:26,640
I'm going to love the shrimp.

592
00:40:26,740 --> 00:40:27,440
OK.

593
00:40:27,540 --> 00:40:29,840
To cook a cannon-fired shrimp.

594
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:32,580
Man, I've never seen anything like that before.

595
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,820
No, no, no.

596
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,220
This is an insane, insane thing.

597
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,560
Ha, ha, ha.

598
00:40:42,460 --> 00:40:45,360
We have 12 feet of sword forge putting out

599
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:48,020
3 million BTUs of heat.

600
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,660
If this doesn't cook it, nothing will.

601
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,660
Nothing.

602
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,960
OK, maybe something, but not something we can build here.

603
00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:56,060
Are you ready?

604
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,460
Ready to fire.

605
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,400
Fire your shrimp in midair.

606
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,360
3 million BTUs.

607
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:07,640
Three, two, one, fire.

608
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,840
It made it through.

609
00:41:11,940 --> 00:41:13,280
Ha, ha.

610
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:14,500
You hit the plate.

611
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,300
Fire!

612
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,440
The shrimp flew successfully through all four sword

613
00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:22,880
fortresses.

614
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:23,980
OK, here we go.

615
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,980
And hit the target, ready to be served up and eaten.

616
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,380
Right?

617
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,680
Still raw.

618
00:41:29,780 --> 00:41:32,220
That is still a raw shrimp.

619
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,560
That is not cooked.

620
00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:36,520
The breading has not been set.

621
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:37,960
It's room temperature.

622
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:39,160
Well, there you go.

623
00:41:39,260 --> 00:41:41,160
There you go.

624
00:41:41,260 --> 00:41:43,160
No shrimp for you tonight.

625
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,620
OK.

626
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:46,420
Well, you can't fault us for not trying.

627
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,920
You can have all the heat you want.

628
00:41:48,020 --> 00:41:54,360
But if there's not enough time, you're not cooking.

629
00:41:54,460 --> 00:41:55,860
Looking at it from a physics perspective,

630
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,060
the limiting factor is not the amount of heat

631
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,440
or even necessarily how long the meat is exposed to the heat.

632
00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:05,700
It's how fast the heat can move through the meat.

633
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,340
You can't cook a shrimp until you've

634
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,080
got the outside hot and the inside not raw.

635
00:42:11,180 --> 00:42:12,240
This was just not enough time.

636
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:14,400
This was on the order of milliseconds.

637
00:42:14,500 --> 00:42:18,300
And you need at least a couple of minutes.

638
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400
No, I'm not eating this at the end of this take.

639
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:21,900
It's disgusting.
