Mythbusters - Frozen paper boat

[wazuppeoplez03]

Adam has the best ascent's! " WE GOT TO KEEP HER AFLOAT CAPTIN!" lol

[dogsrul1234543]

Of course its gonna stay afloat. Its a wooden boat covered in news paper.

[Princeofthedevil]

so, how did the Mythbusters know that the fishes love reading newspaper?

[Zombiepigman96]

It's an ice boat and, it's a nice boat! :)

[sergiovalle21]

Alaskan Ocean?!!?!?

[richit0]

how can someone dislike this?

[Dman1889]

[SuperDraganco]

I have watched this episode 3 days ago

[ljdavisson]

thanks for all the newspaper in our beautiful lake...

[bokprop420]

@ljdavisson thanks for sarah palin, some how i think you got the better deal only having newspaper in the lake.

[MKwan82]

LUV IT

[TheDrBadguys]

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP ER AFLOOOOOOAT!!!

[Th0ra33]

0:16 made me crack up :D

[tigerboy1227]

2:53 of course its its final voyage. you think they will keep it to give to someone else, i wouldnt want some dryed up newspapers attached to a motor

[killerofporn]

the cheapest boat ever

[darkhypnotism]

lolz... 'I love building strange stuff with you'

[latix6]

i will try haha ☺

[latix6]

love the boat

[Idiotsmakemesad]

Another myth buster fail and they were going so well too. They made the boat, they proved it was semi practical on a SMALL scale, WITHOUT refrigeration, then came to completely the wrong conclusion.The larger you build a boat like this the MORE practical it becomes because it has a far lower surface area to volume ratio. A full scale nuclear aircraft carrier would easily have enough power to run refrigeration in the skin of the boat to keep it together indefinitely, even in tropical water.

[FollowingSwifty]

@Idiotsmakemesad calm down they didnt fail you douche bag -.-

[edcnero1]

@Idiotsmakemesad Yeah, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier made of frozen wood pulp. That's REAL practical.

[dlneudecker]

@Idiotsmakemesad well it wouldn't have been nuclear powered, it was dreamed up during WW2 and carriers back then weren't powered with nuclear reactors. I don't think the boat was intended to head into the tropics though. I have to agree with you, however, on the fact that the mythbusters screwed it up. It was supposed to be made with pykrete not friggin newspaper! and they just left a pile of slush sitting in alaska as well as in the lake?!

[yannos1000]

@dlneudecker Actually, that's the thing, they did it with wood pulp-based pykrete first but some tests indicated that instead of using wood pulp newspaper would actually make it even more resilient.

[Zaskhar]

Master Savage and Commander Vitamin xD

[diddidpiddlypid]

wow now that is cool

[aldrei9]

lol its a pleasure making strange crap with u XD

[hellxxxdemon]

Cheap winter boats!

[TheIcoolable]

what if the gas freezes 

[chewkachu]

HOLY CRAP! LOL

[TheHarlow32]

how fast is scary fast?

[plkocool]

so fake it had a wooden frame under the newspaper

[872463051]

and the idiot of the day goes to: YOU!

If you listened, they use the wood as a mold to put the newspaper on so it has a shape when it freezes.

[plkocool]

oh what the fuck man

i know what they said but the mold is just a shape the newspaper goes on daah!!!!!!

and the idiot of the day goes to: 872463051 or

YOU!!!!!!

[872463051]

Not sure if you are know the phrase "too dumb to insult," but that's about where you are right now for that statement.

Let me just try to understand what you are saying by asking you this: How does having a mold make it fake?

[plkocool]

the mold is what made the shape then they take it off!!!

[872463051]

yes, that is the point of a mold. You use it for the shape, then u take it off... How does that make it fake?

[plkocool]

because that paper even in freezing water would easily come apart plus with that 30 pound engine they would be in water in less then 5 mins

[872463051]

its like having a block of ice in freezing water. It doesn't come apart if you stand on it or if you put a motor on it... The newspaper is just what is being frozen.

[plkocool]

that's exactly what i meant but it will still unfreeze fast 5 10 mins

[872463051]

the Mythbusters look at different things and try to prove them false. There is no reason this would be faked. Moreover, we would be able to see if it was faked because we see them put it in the water, and I can also tell you that frozen things don't unfreeze in near-freezing water.

[menthes1986]

@872463051 plkocool hahah you got the best ass whoopin get a wodden frame under a dunce cap

[872463051]

@menthes1986 so because I realize that there was no wood frame under the boat when it was in the water, I got a 'ass whoopin?'

Thanks for letting me realize how fucking stupid the people on youtube are

[gloweybear707]

its a pleasure to build strange crap with you XD

[AnotherGaisle]

Talk about recycling newspaper.

[xyrxes1]

i'm sure the boat being placed in salt water would have melted the ice really fast. I wonder how long it would have lasted on a fresh water lake say in april when it's still cold enough outside but not iced over

[Duboisi]

A thin protective layer would have made it last a lot longer. Especially in saltwater that may be sub-zero. Another take would be to make it a lot thicker, as it would then be seaworthy a lot longer due to the mass.

[jarikcbol]

@xyrxes1 salt water can be below freezing without being ice, it would last longer in salt water than fresh water.

[jonnybritain]

im sure the police liked all the paper in the water. i smell a huge fine.

[RmonSP]

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP HERR AFLOAAT. xD

[mikkelduden]

Is it in the video??

[RmonSP]

yeah dude 5:17

WE'VE GOT TA KEEP 'ER AFLOAAAT.

[mikkelduden]

ah, thanks! One of the best adam-moments ever!

[Moumentai]

@RmonSP I loooooooooove that quote xD. It kept me laughing for some minutes :P

[RmonSP]

@Moumentai It's probably Adam's most brilliant moment

[AlexNuchiha]

can you PLZ PLZ upload the whole special... i hate the way no one else has and my computer's being stupid so i can't upload it my self...(oh, subs.)

[6XMachine]

The plan was for a large block of pykrete, which would have been used as a floating island from which planes could launch an attack from. Cooling pipes would have run throughout the block further reducing the time it took to melt. It would looked more like a flat topped iceberg then any form of a boat.

[ashakydd]

If they had made the hull thicker, they would have had even better results. That was the original concept of pycrete: a massive block of sawdust filled ice with a moderate sized air craft compartment.

[ShadowUMP]

too heavy, too much newspaper

[Likeaperfectmachine]

Absolutely. The whole point was that, as pykrete is less dense than water, it would be literally unsinkable (and most Allied shipping in the later war was sunk by U-boats out of range of air support). Maybe time constraints required them to build something with a thin hull which would freeze in time.

I'm not sure whether Pyke wanted to sail his ice ships into tropical waters either; the big British naval battles of WWII were in the iceberg filled North Atlantic: hardly tropical seas.

[starscreamthe7th]

I want to make one! ;D

[Flashfire97]

I got it at a work area. They were cutting up a lot of trees with chainsaws, so there was enough for me to fill atleast two water bottles. My recomendation is to get an electric sander and attack some wood, or get a (chain) saw.

[Flashfire97]

I made my own pyrcete from sawdust, I'm holding it right now... I hit it very hard with the handle of a knife and it hardley chipped. This stuff is so cool!!!!

[dimoschka]

what are u talking about? what is a pyrecete and how did u do it

[Flashfire97]

same thing as frozen newspaper only with saw dust

[dimoschka]

souds cool

[Flashfire97]

it so is. Make some. one tip i didn't know when i started off: Don't fill with water and add saw dust, fill with saw dust and make damp with water.

[dimoschka]

ill try, i just need to get some sawdust....i dont really know where to get it but ill try :P ty!

[liraider]

That's the second time the narrator misued the word "literally"...

[Rustiax999]

I don't get it, i thought i saw wood in the boat.

[ilikemagic52]

did they make a pykrete boat? or just newspaper

[vectraB97]

if they used clear epoxy paint, not water, that boat would last years..LOL

[knoxarama]

i'm making frozen newspapers like this.

[sdeak1]

Why didn't they use a 12volt bilge pump.

[sdeak1]

I live in Ketchikan. The water is cold here but not that cold. We actually have a warm water current that keeps us mostly rainy in the winter. Notice the sleet with no frost at the waters edge. They should have done this much farther North.

[Lunchsacks]

Tofft!!!! (wtf does that mean? is it German for LOL??)

[BrorGertrud]

Swedish version of awesome :p

[Lunchsacks]

Cool!

[NuclearMouse94]

It's swedish for awsome!

[Draguling]

@BrorGertrud That would be "tufft".

[str8out]

@BrorGertrud I'll start using that word!!

[Ludd3332]

@BrorGertrud More like cool...

[hondacota4rt]

@Lunchsacks lol is in german lol

[komabarn]

Töfft!!
