MacGyver Tricks 2

[OhplsAndrew]

lol is this shit actually possible?

[IAMANALIEN1]

Yeah, right ;P

[J2345dog]

Wow dad! Let's get recaptured so we can do that again!!!

[uberschnack]

anyone who has played with a high pressure water hose (or air hose without the cut off valve) knows that the end of the hose would whip them around into the walls, not give them vertical lift

[bizzarrogeorge]

Wow, cool! A swiss army knife! But if you really loved me you'd give me that roll of duct tape in your jacket, you bastard!

[RallTheManiac]

2:40 FAIL haha

[ajiawon]

I would like to see this in Mythbusters!

[VERGIS92]

@ajiawon the thrust of 3000 lb  is more than enough , but you need some kind of stabilizer, or hold onto the walls

[hzuiel]

@VERGIS92 It would be enough to lift you off I think, but once you got about 10-15 feet off the ground i'm pretty sure you'd just come back down.

[VERGIS92]

@hzuiel no, it's to do with newton's action-reaction law, the same way that rockets can travel in empty space (even though there's no 'wall' to push against)

[hzuiel]

@VERGIS92 You would have more thrust pushing off of the ground though, and once you got so far into the air I don't think just the water pushing against just air would give you enough thrust to keep flying up like that. There is a company that sells a water powered jetpack and it has a max height it can reach before you can't go any higher.

[badboybrattli]

@me too!

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

MacGyver is like Goku. Over time his hair dyes blond and gets longer, just like a super saiyan. XD

[Sitruunakondomi]

Pretty balanced flight.

[canttall]

i totally would want to have a macgyver dad

[pfzht]

Totally did that back in nam

[waktwo]

i think his shoulder was shot

[Nuudeli105]

OMG O____O I remember this episode :O (so long time when i last watch this)

[lax50001]

DAD

[thevideovan]

Dont drop the gun you retard

[winterprincess1994]

his son is cute

[rarevideosandfilms]

I don't think his son is a bad actor.

[B7ART7]

4:49 macgyver lands on his broken arm XD

[PuRemandicnowac]

4:28 MacGyver: "Jinks, you owe me a muscle milk"

[badboybrattli]

is his jacket tucked?

[yonmoore]

To the average stay at home TV watcher, I'm sure that looked totally believable.

[tembokroma]

wew :)

[solidspiros95]

yay super macgyver sunshine :D

[nasnikos]

When I was a kid, I was telling myself:

"wow, when I grow up, I'll be like him"

(and I made it) LOL

[BigRed4231]

not possible? I do this trick myself everyday!

[artman4444]

I didn't know MacGyver had a kid

[smokingnun100]

@artman4444 i know for a fact that MacGyver had at least 8 kids, the rest of the women had abortions.

[lizdylanboykie]

that son is a terrible actor!

[ThePlataformer]

@lizdylanboykie Of course . MacGyver made him with a coin , a potato and sperm.

[Orzeszekk]

so stupid :D

[scott1506]

@rohansly ahhahaahahh total bull shit macgyver

[eeeeeeeeesssaaaaaaaa]

you gotta be kidding me

[kklikis]

Now i knw who invented the jet pack.. :)

[matisstar]

i think only wrestling fans can watch this.

[Epicbattlefan]

Impossible .-.

[VERGIS92]

...which is why even to this day, it is not possible to have radio condact with military submarines while in deep water. It is the conducting medium that makes it impossible to trasnmit a radio wave far enough

[7zot]

i remember watching this after school... doesent seem so long ago and jet its been 10 years :P

[c0ssu1]

yeh that was wery wery suspices :D

[MrErnijs]

lol first you need to turn of phisics then may try this idea

[Bazatage]

I like turtles.

[TheAKmatics]

like Starwars

[What70sShow]

0:36 PFFT. XD Now that's what I call GOOD acting. LOL

[UltraRobbie]

@What70sShow Daaad...

[MacGyver920]

This is the last episode

THE STRINGER:-)

[VERGIS92]

actually this is possible as long as you can steer,

water pressure is enormous

[Torbyz]

@VERGIS92 nah, mythbuster testet this out. its busted

[VERGIS92]

@Torbyz this one has to be a myth, but the principle isn't

[Drojdier]

@VERGIS92 It will only work as long as you're very very close to the ground. The higher you get, the wider the base of the cone of the water "jet" gets. Pressure being force/surface, wider surface -> smaller force. They would never be able to lift even a few feet of the ground. Not with that hose/compressor.

But hey, the show was nice, we don't have to mix real facts with fiction :)

[VERGIS92]

@Drojdier it has to do with Newton's 2nd law (Action causes reaction), high pressure water can produce enough lift, you don't need a floor to push against. but you'd still need the required amount of pressure, and at least 3 hoses in order to maintain balance

[Drojdier]

@VERGIS92 Yes, but as long as the water pushes only air, there's no reaction. The reaction you speak of is the reaction of the surface it pushes on. And as you know the reaction is equal to the action force-wise. And since the force with which that jet pushes the ground is very low and getting increasingly lower as the hose rises from the ground, the reaction will in turn be as low. Low enough that it wouldn't be able to lift a grown man's body.

[VERGIS92]

@Drojdier , you don't seem to understand the 2nd law, it has to do with action-reaction, it works even in vaccum,

that is how rockets work, if it took an obstacle for the anti-force to appear spaceships wouldn't travel in empty space. when rockets were inveneted people made the same argument you just made '' rockets will be useless for space travel because there's no atmosphere in space'' but 2nd law works perfectly in vaccum

[Drojdier]

@VERGIS92 Actually you are right, and a bit wrong. It's actually the 3rd law and you're correct, the principle stands. It's the reaction of the fuel that propels the rocket or the Macgyver in air. The fuel, water in this case, has mass and velocity and mass * velocity = momentum. In order to conserve the momentum of the entire system, the rocket starts to move in the opposite direction.

However in order to lift the weight of a man you need way more water and pressure :)

[VERGIS92]

@Drojdier it's the 3rd law actually yes, not the 2nd, I got confused... oftentimes the physical world creates illusions that are completely wrong, for example someone said to me that his amateur radio works better on rainy days ''because water is a good conductor, hence facilitates radio trasmission'' it's completely wrong, radio waves don't need a conducting medium to propagate, and it is exactly because of water conductance that radio waves suffer massive loss underwater

[jz09hen]

flying man?

[BigMac8000]

Wow, this is ridiculous, even for Macguyver

[jojeli1]

lolololo :D ''what would macgyver do?''
