Mythbusters - Reverse Engineering - Part 3

oh,LET IT RIP! beyblade refference

[alexanderlagergren]

9:00 - "Even with the surfboard travveling 85 miles an hour, the windshield still absorbed all the energy of the impact and stopped it before it hit our driver."

Not really - not that it's likely a surfboard will hit a car at 85mph, but it's obviously the steel hook used for connecting the winch, attached to the surfboard that smashes in to the front edge of the roof, thus stopping it immediately and spoiling the result. Adding the heavy steel hook in the first place also ruins the data..

shut the fuck up ariandynas you little bitch



[darkdragonsoul99]

did we use modern glass in 1987

[ediblemangopants]

5:17 body shot.

[kcanded]

I can't remember the film clip too well, wasn't the windshield of the bad guy's car already busted out when the surfboard flew through?

[3000yrdshot]

3:14, god that was terribly scripted..

[gkitchens1]

they said that the surfboard myth is busted. While I agree, at minute 9:22 you can clearly see that the only reason that the surfboard stopped was due to the catch mechanism that was attached to the board.

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

but who knows if the weights they putted on the red car made it unbalanced, and who knows if flipping it over they damaged some part of the car or the engine, and who knows if running it so much prior to the backwards test make it weaker!!!!

[AirCommando12]

@iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1 They checked it all off camera, so they know, that's who.

[421250]

They should have tested whether the surfboard can even puncture the windshield before even go about testing everything! LOL

[bjokey87]

@9:46 did anyone notice the surfboard short circuited the map light? lol

[XziteInferno]

why the hell doesn't they turn the fucking surfboard, and then the aerodynamics will make the board go up.

[XziteInferno]

What does Siste del meens?, it's in the discription.

kødda, bra at du legger ut mythbusters vidz :P

[Infloresence]

after switching the body of the car the 'front' suspension seem lower than before ...

[KAOSasus]

But In 87 thay Had dif windows dont u think ?

[bjokey87]

@KAOSasus, @Magny80, Early windshields were made of ordinary window glass. In 1917 they were replaced with windshields with toughened glass and were fitted with a rubber seal. In 1919, Henry Ford used a new French method of glass laminating (what we use today). Also that was an 80-86 Ford F series. So, more than likely it has the same glass as the not much younger 94-97 Jeep Cherokee.

[KAOSasus]

@bjokey87 So that means Myth Busted

[bjokey87]

@KAOSasus Myth Busted :)

[KAOSasus]

@bjokey87 so what is the next myth

[km11229]

look at the movie its a slant nose board

[SmallishSwede]

with the last surfboard test, it would have gon through the windshield but the hook caught on the metal around the edge and stopped it.

[tombomb022]

tire friction could be a variable, brakes may be slightly touching..? they should have just tested the red car only.

[SirJamtheFifth]

Why didn't they just use a fucking wind tunnel?!?!

[lefant0m3]

@SirJamtheFifth They did.

[ilackofcreativity]

@SirJamtheFifth Watch the other episodes, you're in part three.

[Quarkhammer]

i think thats actually one of the most dangerous things adam has ever done. he was driving with his nose directly in front of the steering wheel and behind his unprotected head was the glass. that in a car, that they strangely cut and welded together the other way around. i think that actually he was lucky that at 100mph nothing went wrong..

[saf768]

tht grey porsche is better than the red one, the grey one is a Porsche 928 gts

[DdlyHeadshot]

The car is a Porsche 928. The Myth holds true when an Austin Allegro is used instead...

[FORTY848]

@DdlyHeadshot exactly what i was thinking because it was actually proven with the Allegro

[MetalcoreBeav62]

Anyone know what kind of car the red one is?

[35700mikkel]

DANMARK!

[logarithmicfunctions]

@GAELICscrub1 well they are on the same road surface and should at least have identical weights since the two models are "identical"

[100crisps]

Alliteration FTW!!! Baron of backwards gearhead guest highspeed hyneman hitman himahara ballistics ballechi or however you spell it...ah alliteration

[bluesprucelacee]

or how mythbusters desined it

[threehead99]

What king of wheels were on that forklift? I want those on my truck!

[LoveofTech]

@threehead99

there called Omni-Wheels. there used to make the forklift move in any direction (forward back sideways) while facing the same way.

[Magny80]

@ariandynas ;p I do wish I was part of the show sometimes.

[Magny80]

I smell a revisit on the surfboard myth!!! That truck used in the movie had an older designed windshield, whereas the one they used to test the myth had a more developed windshield.

[ariandynas]

@Magny80 Then what are you doing still here? GO! RUN TO THE SITE HURRY HURRY! RUN MAN! A FUTURE EPISODE OF MYTHBUSTERS IN YOUR NAME AWAITS YOU!

[nicho752]

@ariandynas yes go people!

[jaywalkeristheman]

@ariandynas shut the fuck up you little bitch

[ariandynas]

@jaywalkeristheman That was both unnecessary and immature. Would you like to try again? Perhaps say something intelligent? Also, for the record, someone who randomly calls others "little bitch" usually tends to bark like one themselves.

[NagaTen]

@Magny80 Nevermind the windshield, they used a modern slant-nosed shortboard and the movies board was a a longer, beefier and completely straight older surfboard. The slant-nose generates lift (to make more speed on a wave) and when reversed, that makes the board go straight down...

They totally missed that "small" detail...

[panzerveps]

@NagaTen in the movie, they most likely used sugar glass (breaks easily, and leaves the stunt man unharmed) or normal glass which breaks just as easily.

not that the design of the board is vital..

[neothespian]

@Magny80 Actually, Windscreen designs have not changed in nearly 30 years, and that Jeep Cherokee comes from the same design era as the truck in the movie (Mid 1980's)

[MayoDK]

All that acceleration is not interesting at all? That's up to power and more importantly power to weight ratio. What would be interesting is how fast the car could go at it's topspeed, in each direction. The aerodynamic drag would be a much, MUCH bigger factor at high speeds, so that would probably rule most of the weight problems out.

Funny episode though, and poor Porsche :P

[swanty32e]

Dette var kvalitet det, andre laster opp sine mythbusters videoer i 240p, så dine videoer er mye bedre å se på!! =)) også bra lydkvalitet...

[locomocoloco246]

@swanty32e I am from norway too but i dont speak much norsk

[supervegito2277]

@swanty32e i understood that damn.

that has to be swedish... im danish btw and usually i dont understand a crap of it... da fuck?

im speaking english cause thats more common.

[swanty32e]

@supervegito2277 No, it´s norwegian!!

[supervegito2277]

@swanty32e hmm does norwegian then share a word with swedish?

i thought danish was the middle the oxygen in the h2o molecyle in this.

bra is swedish. i wont lie i have no idea if its norwegian either but if its nynorsk its possible.
