Mythbusters: The AMC Eagle vs. The Snowplow
2009-04-20 07:01:00 Last week, a lot of play was given to the Mythbusters episode that tried to pancake a Fiesta out in the desert, which was rather entertaining, but last night's episode pissed me off just a little bit: As part of Alaska week, the Mythbusters B-team decided to test some myth that if you hit a pl

POP: Mythbusters draw the Mona Lisa in 80 Milliseconds
2008-09-04 14:00:00 Yeah I know this has been on the web for a good week now and has been posted everywhere, but that doesn't make it any less cool to look at. Too bad the parallel processing analogy is a bit faulty. Still you have to credit the Mythbusters for putting on such a spectacular demonstration by painting a Mona Lisa in 80 milliseconds using only paint balls. The slow motion video is just incredible.

2008-02-20 16:51:00 Can 'MacGyver' Escape the 'Mythbusters'?!Post by: SalSource: Zap2ItBack in the late '80s and early '90s, budding science geeks everywhere plopped down in front of "MacGyver" on ABC, to watch resourceful secret agent Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) escape from bad guys, foil evil plots and basically save the world with a Swiss Army knife, duct tape and whatever happened to be lying around.On Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, cable television's reigning science geeks, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of Discovery Channel's "Mythbusters," decide to put some of MacGyver's more creative escapes to the test, in the show's landmark 100th episode."It's a natural for us," says Savage. "It took a while for us to work out the various details with the original 'MacGyver' producers, but 'Mythbusters' and 'MacGyver' have always been two peas in a pod, at least philosophically.""In a way," says Hyneman, "we're the real deal, where a lot of the stuff that 'MacGyver' did -...

Weekend Webware: Watch the best of MythBusters in a browser
2008-02-09 18:09:00 Like the MythBusters? Then you'll probably like this small Flash-based movie viewer created by the folks at the Discovery Channel. It lets viewers pick from four clips of high speed footage from the show, including one massive explosion, two clips of sliding into baseball bases, and crash test dummy Buster bursting into flames--all in frame-by-frame goodness. Users can toggle the viewer to work either with their mouse, or use their keyboard to go frame by frame. The mouse gives slightly better results, letting viewers go back and forth quickly for great effect. Which one is your favorite?

Mythbusters to bust myth electric cars are slow in episode next season
2007-12-20 22:05:00 The Record Bee caught up with the Mythbusters (Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman) and crew at the Lake County's fairgrounds and Infineon Raceway in Sonoma Wednesday. What are the Mythbusters busting? According to the show's producer, they are filming an episode, to air next season, on busting the myth that electric cars are slow. The episode will include races between electric and gas; ATVs, go-carts and cars. Here is MythBusters Associate Producer Eric Haven talking about the episode:A lot of people have a pre-conception that electric vehicles are slower than gas-powered vehicles. We're going to bust that myth. ... Today we're testing ATV's. We have a gas-powered one and an electric one. Tomorrow it's go-carts, and then cars.The Record Bee also writes the Mythbusters tried to get a gas- and electric-powered Polaris ATV but did not mention the type of car or go-cart. Full disclosure, Jamie Hyneman help develop an electric ATV and I have not been too positive on the show in several...
Mistakes in the Mythbusters? episode on fuel economy devices
2007-12-08 02:33:00 Mythbusters, a popular TV show on the Discovery Channel, tried to bust the myth that there are devices out there that can dramatically improve your fuel economy. I think Mythbusters made a lot of mistakes in the episode with claims about hydrogen, used vegetable oil and EPA testing. I also think they did bad experiments and should have done more research.Lets start with hydrogen: As you can see in the above video, after making a car turn over by hosing hydrogen into the carburetor, Adam proclaims "I guess you could, if you had a lot of hydrogen, run your engine completely without any other modification." The experiment they did is interesting but there is no reason to make the claim that a car can run unmodified on hydrogen. Who would consider the installation of a hydrogen fuel tank on a car un-modified anyway? They could have mentioned hydrogen combustion engines and fact that there is serious research on using hydrogen in gas cars.Now, about the used vegetable oil. Adam got used ...
mythbusters flip taxi and bus with jet
2007-11-17 17:00:00 This clip is kind of long, but worth it. I saw this on TV a couple nights ago and it renewed my vow to someday have enough money that I could just do cool stuff like this for the 'educational' value and fun of it. Basically the myth was 'if a jet lands at the same time a car drives by right behind it the car will flip over'. Not many airports around here are set up like that, but I am sure some have a road/highway right next to the landing spot. [More]

MythBusters: Jet Assisted Chevy
2007-02-17 05:19:07 I love the MythBusters more and more every day. They are such fun and wonderful skeptics. The early evening rerun of the MythBusters involves a`72 Chevy Impala strapped to a rocket. Or vice versa. At any rate, it mimics the Darwin Award’s most popular entry. It seems ironic that a UPS commercial is using a Postal Service song. Adam and Jamie, our heroes, can’t find a `72 Chevy Impala. But they did find a `66 Chevy Impala. Wait, I left something out. What was that? Oh yeah! Hydraulics! Not only will they be strapping rockets to the top of this reinforced car. It will also be a remote control car. It is better than anything you can get at Radio Shack. Which isn’t saying much, because anything you get from a 25 cent candy machine is better than anything at Radio Shack. One pull of the MythBusters is their AB appeal. Their Alton Brown appeal. Not only will you get good explosions or, in Alton Brown’s case, food. You are going to learn the science behind everythin...

MythBusters: 22,000 Feet Fall
2006-12-14 22:25:15 The last MythBusters you made me watch, they blew up a cement truck until there was practically nothing left. This episode, they are going to make an even bigger explosion. The myth involves an airplane funner falling 20,000 feet. But he was saved by the cushion of a shock wave emanating from a train station that was blown up. There are so many things that are going to be awesome about this. Namely, explosions. Falling too. The train station is being made, the bomb is being made. Oh, balloons too! They will lift their dummy above the explosions by balloons! They are also busting a myth about light bulbs and turning them on and off. That has nothing to do with explosions. Be gone, light bulbs! Did you know that there is a light bulb that has been burning non-stop for 105 years? See, you learn things when there aren’t explosions on the screen. I think they tricked me. Eee, some balloons went loose and popped. This held the experiment back because they couldn’t lift the dum...

MythBusters: Salsa Escape
2006-09-14 05:45:02 The MythBusters try to break out of jail with salsa tonight. They don’t teach you that in Heloise. Jamie and Adam are also trying to get dried cement out of a cement truck with dynamite. They also have four cement trucks to test with and blow up. Four cement truck to blow up! This will be a great night. Not only are they trying to use salsa to break out of prison. It is, specifically, a Mexican prison. I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not made out of paper mache like a piñata. Candy isn’t kept inside either. Cherry bombs don’t do much to the concrete truck. Actually, they did nothing at all, like spitting into the sea. Not that spitting isn’t a fun past time. Everyone enjoys it, from kings to movie stars. Does anyone else ever imagine what it would be like if all the air in the world suddenly turned into cement? That would suck so much! Adam is electrocuting his salsa to speed the corrosion of the metal bars. Little does Adam know that he nee...

MythBusters: Exploding Port-a-Potty
2006-09-07 11:24:02 MythBusters is an easy show to watch after a hard day of work. You can pretend you are learning things while sitting on a couch trying to kill your brain with wine coolers. You know that is exactly what you do. The exploding port-a-potty is a true story. What the MythBusters don’t believe is that a build up of methane gas is the cause. That being said, it all leads Adam to poop in a box to test. For science. The other myth this episode is about a driveshaft pole vault. Supposedly, a driveshaft busted lose from a car, hit a pot hole, and flipped the car. Even if it isn’t true, the MythBusters will find a way to make it happen. We are guaranteed an exploding toilet and a flipping car. It’s a fine time to be alive. The port-a-potty did too good when venting the methane. They had to seal it all up. Which didn’t solve the problem. It did burn Buster, the crash test dummy, pretty badly. To think that Buster had it better off when he was crashing in cars. The MythBu...

MythBusters: Crimes and Myth-Demeanors
2006-08-24 16:54:01 Tonight, the MythBusters test a bunch of criminal myths. Avoiding heat detectors, blowing up safes, and more. There is no way this can’t be fun. The first system Adam and Jamie are up against is a fingerprint analyzing doorknob. Not only does it look at the fingerprint, it measures temperature and heart beat. Wow, that is an awesome lock. I want one of those for my…awww, I don’t have anything that expensive enough to protect. If I were a Buddhist, that wouldn’t be a problem. I am not a Buddhist. Now a thermal motion sensor is the device to beat. You could say their goal is to beat the heat. Tee hee hee. Rhyming equals a funny joke. Mud doesn’t cover the heat, like in Predator. A CO2 fire extinguisher doesn’t do any good. Riding on the back of an extinct dodo doesn’t work, I am guessing. There is no need to bring the dodo back to life, future scientists. The super fingerprint lock that the manufacturer said has never been broken? The MythBust...
