Mythbusters - Reverse Engineering - Part 2

[BlackSGMan]

Surfboards make wonderful surfboards? No shit.

[deepeyes001]

07:07 wait a minute... what about gravity ?

[tiru1995]

@deepeyes001 If you take a look at the way it dives at 09:57 you will see that the nose dives down while the back end of the board is still high in the air. If the dive was due to gravity the complete board would fall down. It wouldn't do a nose dive.

[yusef12331]

i think Top Gear UK wont like this.....

[ediblemangopants]

12:58 The Jamie "ha."

[sliestwheel]

can't they see that there is an upward curve on the surf board pushing it down

[defiythelie]

@sliestwheel That is not true. It takes speed for such things to take effect. In a Car like this they would have to be going about 145 mph for an positive effect to happen.

[vk45de]

use a snowboard and it'll be different

[x4dow]

why not put the board nose up?

[Gusunder]

@x4dow because they were reenacting the myth fully, the movie didn't have the board nose up

[PositronBG]

why didn't they just reverse the transmission box?

[rednaxela3x3]

1.15 mpg????? JESUS >_<

[koulukakara]

At 9:48 hes starring at karis boobs xD

[thisisstupiud]

@koulukakara So was I

[topi85]

Why do they call theese movie stunts an myth, it should just be a stunt not an myth... or am i too picky here.

[MrSubzero1223]

They should have put it upside down with the nose facing up , not down.

[Wentao1Hao]

The teardrop shape is not what it seems. The pointed end actually goes down first. That means the pointed end heads first, followed by the round part.

[Tobius11]

the board needs to be flipped over .....

[TonyODonnell01]

Drive that car on the freeway!

[AceMon2005]

Why did they have to get a Porsche 928 that was in such good condition instead of one that was beat up a bit?

[TanukiCoast]

@AceMon2005 My sentiments exactly.

[mareprah]

13:54 ... nice reflex -.-



[staphinfection]

You have to account for ADAM not being used to drive hunched over like that, so his timing might have been a smidge off. The NASA tests already showed slightly more drag, you guys just wanted to make an awesome backwards car.

[staphinfection]

You're using a new school surfboard.... Strap one of the "bullet" old school long boards on that fucker, and it will fly 100 yards.

[staphinfection]

Pffft... 'cause we all just want to see things blow up in slow mo.

[nerfwar32]

mythbusters, ever thought of the wind speed it affected the surfboared, thats why it did not went straight

[gstv87]

2:20 ohh... so THAT was the car of those retro racing videogames....

[saf768]

tht porche is well to ugly now

[s24738]

argh this looks so wrong!

[FORTY848]

i want a 3D printer

[shaktimaan09]

Respond to this video... I want kari ;)

[FORTY848]

@shaktimaan09 i want a 3D print of Kari

[tracemaster100]

13:08 i want that done to my next car. :D

[bond1011]

Looks like the 928 has alot more wheel spin off the line going backwards. So that means the car cant put its power down efficently

[Tylerfreeman99]

thats obviously a porsche.

[Venix946]

Raindrops doesn't have it's infamous tail. They are round.

[supervegito2277]

@Venix946 when something as liquid is falling thats practically impossible to avoid, that i put my money on

[andromidius]

@Venix946 Yep, facepalm moment.

[Chihang256]

Why don't they investigate the air dynamic of the serf board before ruin a couple of cars? XD

[neothespian]

@Chihang256 Because these days they got to get the big crashes in first in order to satisfy the idiots who constantly demand bigger explosions on their show. It's all about catering to the lowest common denominator in order to keep ratings high

[Chihang256]

@neothespian ah~ right! that make sense, thank you very much.

[RideMyYoshi247]

@Chihang256 cuz no one wants to watch that, this is a tv show where a group of people tests myths to entertain people

[USmarine0813]

@Chihang256 because that is not part of the myth obviously you did not listen. its about crashing and having the surf board go through we know that the areodynamics of the board are not the same as an airplane. the experiments are as close to the myth as possible. dont be dumb

[BTW6666]

@Chihang256 or flip it over. the way they hav it in the holder the wind is pushing it down coz of the curve. turn it over and it will go up and hopefully hit the window

[hobeeorchid]

@Chihang256 not as interesting. Not as interesting = not as many viewers = not as much profit.

[hobeeorchid]

@Chihang256 Not being american, the finer points of the american culture of waste and capitalism probably escapes you.

[michaelklog]

@Chihang256 that is the myth. there for no change can be used. but when they have busted the myth they change things^^ that's why

[Andyme91]

@Chihang256 It makes good TV

[Shadae758]

lol, momentum from car to surfboard. right...

[Poptropica07]

[QKD4641]
