I was at the filming of this, it was very neat. I got to meet them in person they're very awesome. :D Jamie kinda had a cold shoulder but was nice and Adam was very excited. I'm up on the booth area at :53 in the upper left of the screen. If you ever have the opportunity to meet these guys, do it. You won't regret it. ;)

the electric one has to be a sportsman dream in the woods

@Kazesane go fig; the Hyneman is part walrus and immortal. he is very wise because of this.

come on people, quit whining about political stuff and bickering over engine types and the like. it's mythbusters, it's nerdy, and it's awesome.

It's an experiment... People need to stop whining about politics. If Jamie wants to make something because it interests him, it's not going to hurt you. Shove your fingers in your ears and yell "LALALALALA" til they start "shootin guns" and "blowin stuff up."

I like mythbusters, but I hate when they slip in the liberal go green biased. They didn't address distance (recharge vs unlimited), COST, weight, top speed. Beyond the facts you have the simple feel. That ferrari is what children dream of and adults wet themselves hearing. It's also a pure lie that 1 electric car takes 4 off the road. It's 1 for 1.

hydrogen is the way to go

[rietveen26]

as much as i like electric cars and sure, there is one thing I have to admit: they can be far more dangerous to the environment because on their lithium ion battery packs. secondly, during the production of these batteries huge amounts of energy in all sorts of forms are spent, which results in a total co2 emission the equivalent of that ofd your average car. this also applies to the toyota prius, which is about as polluting (production + usage) as the average american car.

[mywereldza]

And to add to this, it takes a minute or so to refill a gas tank and how many hours does it take to recharge a battery set like this?

Even if you had a spare set on charge it would not be enough for the serious rider.

@thesamenamegame Not really, you will run out of energy really fast, no battery can hold that much energy in such a small place as gasoline, therefore to have the same mobility the electric one would have to have some pretty heavy batteries, the problem is a source of electricity better than batteries otherwise these motors fucking rule!
