Mythbusters - Compact Compact Rocket Sled

[OrionoftheStar]

Holy shit. The car fucking *disintegrated*. There was no wreck. The car turned into fucking dust.

[Hahanoobm]

Almost as fast as I pee

[TheOswald42]

insane....948 km/h, nearly speed of sound 1224 km/h

[MrJohn1966elliott]

What about Car's engine is gone ?

[SerenityJane07]

What car? Lol

[TheBrahoule]

At 2:24 the paint is converted into gas.

[Belfor09]

HOLYYY CRAP !

[carlpriisholm]

1:20 Look at that car!

[poopskinTheLiar]

Vaporizing a car isn't normal...

...but on Mythbusters it is.

[Klperformance68]

Quick Grab the Bondo before dad gets home!!!!!!

[OFFtheCHIZANE]

Jeese... when the sled hits the car it ionises the air between the bumper and the metal plate... you can see little flashes of plasma appear at the point of impact if you watch from 2:21 onwards.

[linkuei83]

purely fucking legendary! Better than porn!

[ryosakamoto0828]

fuckkk thats crazy

[nitrors4pr]

My favorite episode of myth busters

[kfkcr]

Holy shit!! Most beautiful thing ever seen! -3

[GodBlessNess]

I blinked. What did I miss?

[SerChade]

0:38 broke the sound barrier

[lpplayer2011]

they said there was a car didnt they?

[ChrisHitzbleck]

Heee warum machen die das

[Worgak]

That was beautiful.

[pbrew85]

Holy crap

[itsalwaysfake]

What car? What wall!

[SanderRuben1]

dumpert

[KotorplayerVII]

.... I know what I want for Christmas, and it ain't my two front teeth.

[TheSonicGod]

This video is like a magic spell for a boner for geeks.

[FemaleGallade]

It vanished faster than Canada from Hetalia!

[cole003f]

33 people cant find all the cars remains

[hangemhigh2000]

Nobody said you can't try this at home. ;)

[pe6obutilkata]

That didnt mess around.(cant be said any better)

[DJssLICK]

Did you see it broke the sound barrier??? Holy shit that was fast!

[RandomGuyNamedSteve]

@DJssLICK it can go literally 10x faster.... there is a manned vehicle that goes 600+ mph(like this vehicle) its haywire

[jetsfan8710]

That's the last time i fucking let Adam and Jamie borrow my car.

[LDGJWZ]

FUCKING CRAZY!!!

[lillhonken]

Discovery channel offers some of the best jobs in the world.

[Cronieock]

*click* *sled disappears*

[aussersein]

fake.

[sonnyman2000]

@aussersein as if

[elevator2]

I love adam :D

[xXxkigsxXx]

0:45 Jamie's O face

[CriminalMacabre]

I think the army would be interested in this kind of things.

[kcg5000]

@CriminalMacabre Yep, and surely it was just regular people who build such things as rocket ranges..... Not sure if you will get what I mean, so here is what I mean- The military builds these things, and came up with the idea-so yeah, you are right

[dummychaos]

But how many parsecs was that?

[BOB74265]

@dummychaos hey genius, parsecs are a unit of length DERP

[Micali711]

must've sucked for the camera guy filming adam and jamie as it went off

[entres]

click 0:38 for orgazm.

[jimmyPain2121]

Should of put buster in it...

[thedavehatessheep]

Holy shit, in the high speed shot, you can literally see the car's body metal get pushed out of its paint...me gusta

[Mocib]

@thedavehatessheep Yeah... that's the most impressive thing about this experiment.

[marjoleinbloemhof]

@thedavehatessheep 9gag?

[firebender111]

Watching the slow motion was simply amazing. There were red dust clouds of the paint.

[julioga]

240p !! what is this? Nigeria!!

[dreadlordstu]

I dont think I have ever seen such a large piece of something simply disentrigated like that thing was

[tiggerr42431]

Simply WOW

[OtakuSanel]

why would anybody not like this? what is wrong with you people

[AW09]

At 2:06 Does Adam say "it's a fucking potatoe chip"?

[Neoxkais]

@AW09

Fricken, actually, but he damn well was THINKING it

[Kokomokox]

I gotta say, the 2 top comments for this video.. are actually the best pair of top comments i have ever seen on youtube and i've been around since launch.

[qazxsw21000]

@Kokomokox I just noticed that.

[Daemonop1]

*sigh*..... these dudes have the best job on earth

[TrainsforGTA]

Hah, I'd like to see a Veyron do THAT!

[jetsfan8710]

Holy shit... That was fucking awesome!!!! I was watching at home and that was the coolest thing i may have ever seen. Holy shit the Mythbusters must have the best job on earth.

[er10b]

Junkyards should use this method, although less powerful, to crush junk cars.

[Gatorfreak54]

chuck norris was behind the sled pushing it

[starwars15500]

@Gatorfreak54 Actually he was behind it and sneezed

[zmhgslnaba]

This never gets old xD

[BWorkhouse1994]

Michael Bay couldn't have come up with an explosion as awesome as that

[delacroixwalrus]

well, that should be a quick way to die.

[Daxter628]

Pure destruction....is there anything more beautiful? I think not.

[yoekix]

@Daxter628 How about adding a rainbow after the collision

[zapster109]

lolz... imagine a two-truck impact at mach 4

[zapster109]

@tubimas no... its not a potato chip - its individual atoms were separated into their basic forms, then were smashed and symotaneously shattered into protons, neutrons, and electrons, then those parts were broken into 10000 SMALLER bits of proton, neutron,and elecrtron, then those bits were scattered randomly across the face of the earth. To sum it up for you: what car?

[tubimas1]

its a fricken potato chip

[muratveli]

The car isn't destroyed...the car isn't evaporated...the car ATOMIZED!!! 

[mikeru22]

why would you feel the need to dislike this video...?

[maltapyro]

totaly beyond believe! Talk about devistating power

[Norha820]

When I saw this on tv it was the coolest thing I had ever seen in my entire life and probably will see, its just freakin insane

[qazxsw21000]

Now, launch one into the air!

[jammer96]

The slow motion is AWESOME on this.

[simplystreeptacular]

What car?

[SvenTviking]

They use rocket sleds to test nuclear missile warheads and they've taken them over 6000 mph. They have to run thru a long polythene tent full of helium to get the wind resistance down.

[SmallButMYTEE]

holy crud that thing couldve killed a plane with a big elphant in about 20 seconds

[Maeslin]

they should try that again with a hummer or a great big SUV just for kicks. :D

[JVrocker89]

@Maeslin - Hell, they should park a semi in front of the rocket car for even better kicks to see how much of it is no where to be found

[ManOfMeans]

Reminds me of 4th of July in Mexico - no limits!

[xEmilyCyhogx]

Where'd the car go? OoO

[simplystreeptacular]

@xEmilyCyhogx What car??

[jtskid]

I think Adam just came in his pants

[1BustedMyth]

Hey has anyone seen my car?, I parked it just over there!

[3martijns]

No Limit to what these guys will try!

[CST44Ounce]

I remember feeling an impact burst similar to thet live. It was a demonstration of an HO2 balloon with a spark. the pressure wave was wimpy.....

[racer927]

0:42 the first stage rocket came in from earlier

[BDNeon]

It's so crazy. You can actually see that by the time the car starts moving backwards from the impact, the sled has already reached 3/4 of the way through the car. It's actually outrunning the momentum of its own impact. That's pretty surreal.

[TheTeddy321]

"What car?"



[chwenhoou]

To paraphrase the words of Elmer Fudd "Good Heavens! It disintegwated!" O_O

[TNT484]

the car disintegrated!!! :) I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!!! <3

[MyNameIsBucket]

It looks like a magic trick, the way the car just disappears into the metal slab.

[EntropicMisanthropic]

Notice how the car body promptly burst into flames at the moment of impact? At those speeds, the friction involved in impact is like a bomb going off.

This is the same idea that makes orbital bombardment weapons feasible.

If you could figure out how to make a telephone pole out of tungsten, put it into orbit and then simply give it a small push back into the atmosphere, it would create as much destruction as a small nuclear warhead wherever it hit.

[Minigig]

@EntropicMisanthropic at no point was the car ever in flames

[EntropicMisanthropic]

Momentum equals velocity times mass. What you lack in one area you can make up for in the other.

At 700 mph a 3500 lb. car is a flaming meteor of death.

At 2,050 mph, a .15 oz bullet will kill you.

[TheYuckyuckman]

best part 0:00-4:09

[TheDragonKnight777]

Now you see it...

*WHOOOSH!*

Now you don't.

[1BustedMyth]

Dude, have you seen my car?, I parked it just over there!

[gund2281]

not sure how people dislike this......what are they disliking?

[marrier9999]

It's like a magic trick. The car just vanishes as that rocket sled hits it. That was just a sled. Can you imagine if an actual TRUCK hit it at that speed?

[coldplay1235]

0-0

[9esferas1]

2:17. FSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH­HHHHH

[FemaleGallade]

This is my dad's favorite Mythbuster's scene of all time. I don't blame him.

[Vassalius]

The car is still there. That thin, THIN layer of dust on the steel plate? That is the car.

[cumminsturbofan101]

27 people hate the emissions that came from the rocket sled al gore was one of them ;)

[FlyingAce1016]

they did this twice 

[rocker4u123]

ok i give up. where did the car go

[WillRennar]

@rocker4u123 What car?

[oadams2]

27 people really liked that car.

[muratveli]

I want to be a rocket scientist...sooo bad!!

[TheLadykiller12345]

Tha's amazing!!!! very awesome!!! i can watch this all the time

[Seraphim323]

I'd love to see two of those rockets impacting against each other. Imagine that!

[jayorteg713]

the sled looks like it time traveled with Marty mcfly

[shadowslasher10]

Now all we need to do is get Justin Beiber infront of that and watch it in in very very very very very very slow motion. XD

[SkyyCaptainn]

This is among the coolest footage ever made by Mythbusters.

At 2:19 you can actually see car turning into dust.

[B10h4zz4rd0005]

Hell... Who fart in da car?!?!

[npadul30]

Is it just me or at 3:09 you can see a face?

[thatsme1133]

@npadul30 i think thats a dummy they sat in the car or something

[Soassies]

@npadul30 wow, it's kinda scary.....

[festus2008]

What car?

[cumminsturbofan101]

27 dislikes I take it the 27 people that disliked it are in one way or another associated with greenpeace opposing the emission set off by the rockets :P

[Stylisticz808]

V-TEC KICKED IN YO!!!! :D lol

[SixTFPS]

Boom! Headshot! :)

[tscompusa]

dddddddamn

[alexbarbour747]

Real life CTRL ALT Delete in action

[undercoveractor]

KABOOM

[LetsPlayAutism]

What car?

[tau000]

You can acatually hear the moment Adam Orgasms....

[BuddhaMaster84]

that spinning object is another rocket that comes slightly delayed, the flame is its fuse still burning. Now why they have an additional rocket I don't understand

[aegis027]

@BuddhaMaster84 that was the first stage rocket which fell off

[44USELESS44]

i have never seen anything go so fast... he's never seen light obviously

[ExhaustedPenguin]

what the hell is that hilarious little thing spinning in the air at 0:44  =D

[aegis027]

@ExhaustedPenguin thats the first stage rocket that fell off

[tankist300]

@ExhaustedPenguin its called sonic boom, it occures when object breakes speed barrier, here on youtube type sonic boom

[vuskoslav]

fuckin speechless...

[ryanlee19]

I have seen this video over and over! I love it! I just thought it would be cool if they would"ve wet down the area of impact so we could all see the car just disappear. Amazing video though, i am sure I will watch it many more times!



[catsndogs98]

What the fa.....?

[monkeybiscuits78]

one word.....wow

[phoenixrisinghigh]

people, people......were all missing one MAJOR point here...LOOK AT WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL HAPPENED TO THE CONCRETE BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[LIPS20201]

that is the equivalent force of chuck norris's left hook

[katethegreat91]

Dayum!

[KasuariBird]

M-My Car!

DARN YOU PHYSIICS!!!

[culprido]

Holy Moly!

[ErichoTTA]

They didn't destroy the car. They EVAPORATED it.

[georgekostaras]

@ErichoTTA It doesn't even look like a car anymore

[EXOmegaZero]

@ErichoTTA I think Jamie put it best when he said: "What car?"

[XXXKingofSorrow]

Uh...Guys, where'd we park?

[sadekgheidan]

That was just 700MPH?! Jesus christ! I'd hate to see a fighter jet doing mach 1.8+ ramming into something!

[scottwardell]

Sweet!!

[scarehorror98]

wanna put a guy that pisses me ofs face over there!!

[kbckiwi]

unfortunately justin bieber wasn't inside that car...

[eddster1986]

I love the way the back sled rockets kind of flip in the air and fall to the ground with a crunch.

[ninoboy213]

That car is going "Holy son of a @#BOOM!!!!!!!"

[BrianHassanBadi]

HADOUKEN!!!

[adriiPortillo]

what the hell they used for rocket fuel ? that was awesome..

[ira9119]

HOLY CRAP...! Adam never spoke truer words...

[TAz69x]

This is why Science PWNS religion.

[GlenRichy]

I wonder how flat a penny would be after that

[Bluegear93]

The car just vaporized...

EPIC

[fingerboy18]

I have a magic trick.  I bet I can make my car dissapear. Just give me a rocket and I can do it :)

[drakonim]

@fingerboy18 You'll need like twelve two stage superrockets to get this result but I would like to see you trying. :D

[sininetigu]

the smash was ,,, impossible to describe.. they should have sent poet instead.

[CabooseTKr]

@sininetigu nice starcraft reference

[DrPepper42yes]

The car went away.

[CabooseTKr]

@DrPepper42yes Yes, yes it did. Better still, they didn't even need to pack it with explosives!

[phoenixrisinghigh]

@DrPepper42yes it didn't just "went away" it was ERASED from history, this video is the only true record of its existence. God doesn't even remember making the iron ore that would make this car in the before times!

[AlexandKelsie]

sweeeeeeet

[MettanAtem]

I wouldn't call it destroyed. I'd call it annihilated.

[jarnold139]

this is more like, ya kno, a bomb went off. lol so tru that was awesome

[bobthebagger01]

Yet another reason why NOT to buy a Ford Aspire!!!!LOLXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!

[zallon1]

cool

[MrCelloman21]

Why doesnt the military use this because this acted like a missile but still cool! XD

[charcharmunr]

"WHAT car?" indeed.

[Amezz55]

3:52 is crazy
