      right turn. The vehicle has been painted flat black and

  • @RoosterMontgomery
    @RoosterMontgomery 3 года назад

    For years I thought the grey tank was the slime reservoir and the green tanks were the air pressurizers. The movie also heavily implies that the mood slime was positively charged before it was loaded into the slime blowers and not by the mechanics of the device itself. I think this video's breakdown is based on what's in the Ectomobile Manual and not what's depicted in the film proper.

    • @ChannelingSpirits
      @ChannelingSpirits  3 года назад +2

      The decision to have the gray tank as the oxygen tank was based on how original three tank flamethrowers worked (which is also what Stephen Dane based his design on). The slime is loaded positively charged but (and as we said in the video) if a flux is detected, hydrons can be injected to stabilize its charge.
      Lastly, I came up with all of the mechanics and physics of the equipment in 2015 and I published it to GBFans as a GB Manual. The Ectomobile Manual lifted my work without credit in 2017.

      To answer your questions in reverse order:
      1) Kentucky Fried Human
      2) I imagine it stings a little, but my head-canon is that the 'Busters are the most fun that many ghosts have had in a while. Like, when the ghost acts up and the person calls in a medium or someone, they go "Ugh, this lot," and pretend to be defeated for a year or so just because the medium is so _dull._
      Suddenly along come the Ghostbusters, with these crazy gadgets. Now it's running around, dodging power streams, and actually getting to put up a fair fight. And it's exhilarating.

      I'm thinking if a person is struck by lightning, which is negatively charged, it is absorbed into the body and travels into the ground. A proton stream would simply travel through a person and due to the wavy nature of the beam it would cut them to pieces, probably cauterizing the wounds like a lightsaber.
