Kind of, but that is why Adam says that "51%" is a crappy packing efficiency: it meant that almost half of the space inside the ship would be occupied by water.
2:28 "Crash-off clang-hole" - a rare moment where the editors showed their true relationship. Though for the most part I got the sense they tolerated each other just fine, were ok as co-workers but never saw themselves as friends.
1:19 You can tell that Jamie is annoyed. It's no surprise these two weren't friends. But, they tolerated each other to get the job done. The show never would have been what it was without both of them.
Haha, it’s 2021 and I just read that exact Donald Duck story to my two sons and to prove to them the ping pong theory would work in real life I googled and found this clip. We laughed out loud when we saw the comic book in the clip. FYI, Donald Duck is called Kalle Anka in Sweden.
An assumption you could probably make is that larger spheres can deform more and fill more empty space because assuming the thickness of the wall is the same a smaller ball will be more rigid and therefore deform less and fill less space. But this is not necessarily true depending on the material used. The important factor of buoyancy is volume of air so rigidity is not a massive factor so long as the air is contained.
They are using faulty logic when saying ping pong balls can't lift a heavy ship.It is all about replacing water in all the cavities of the ship with air.If a floating ship can float with ping pong balls filling up all it's cavities with little air in between them,then the question is if water filled the space between them, would that be enough to sink the ship? If the answer is no, then filling the same space with ping pong balls at the bottom of the ocean will lift the ship up to the surface.

Adam: "fuck off"
Jamie, doing the im about to beat your ass turn: "excuse me?"
Omg i remember reading that donald duck story :)
Now knowing that they weren't friends with each other makes this a thousand times more difficult to watch because those arguments are very much real

I just realize they were using Stiga 2-star balls. They clearly didn’t cheap out :P
That scene where Adam tells Jamie to F$&% off is what Adam was talking about how they usually don't get along.

Did he just eat ping pong balls!?
it was a trick, he put one in his mouth and then kept showing the same one
Yes.
Since all spheres have a constant ratio of surface area to volume, shouldn't all spheres have the same packing efficiency?

Season 2, Episode 9 (Pingpong Rescue) according to IMDB.
_,,What this means is there's all this space _*_between_*_ the balls!"_
(Adam Savage)
@PanosConroe Oi, none of that.

Its already been done and can be seen on youtube...
This episode is 18 years old when you made this comment 😭
You gotta be kidding right?
