Jamie was hyped. I noticed that he loved attempting dangerous stuff in this show, like riding that motorcycle across the lake. He's an absolute badass at heart.
THere was a comment on a previous episode I think made perfect sense, and paraphrasing, Being a child, Adam was the enthusiastic mad scientist type and Jamie was the moderating straight man. Being an adult is realizing Adam was the enthusiastic but moderating presence, and Jamie was the real mad scientist and inventor with a quiet disposition.
In the episode where they were in South Africa testing shark myth, Jamie was excited to be in the cage with the sharks. One of the first things that happened was a shark attack and broke the steel bars in the cage, coming quite a bit inside the cage. Jamie afterwards laughed about how the shark got inside the cage. And was also excited about getting inside the cage and be with the sharks again. You know… the typical response of being inside a cage that was supposed to keep the sharks out, that the shark just broke its way into.
I doubt it can be quantified, but I'm sure MythBusters is responsible for motivating a whole generation of kids, myself included, to go into science and tech.
Those days of watching the show in AP Physics were some of the best when I was in high school. Definitely had a part in me going for microbiology and later following it up with chemistry.
@@DavidRichardson153 I guess I'm kinda inverse. Started with chemistry and moved into biology. But am moving towards structural biology, computational biology and such. Thanks to the habit of experimenting with stuff, my curiousity is undying. All of that thanks to the Discovery Science channel, and of course, MythBusters!
So this is one of those crossover episodes Discovery made them do, still looked fun AF. The stormchasers looked uncomfortable with the car testing, while Adam and Jamie were positively sparkling with glee 🤣
Growing up watching this, I always liked Adam and his energy about him being over the top and just being an extrovert and Jamie was always the dad energy of "be safe and do it safely". But as I'm rewatching these episodes, Jamie not only does exude that dad energy, he's also a badass to the definition of the word. Not to mention an adrenaline junkie. (Its the mustache that gives him +10 stat boost in everything)
yeah on rewatching I've started liking Jamie's input almost over Adam's. Or at least equally. I don't think the show would've worked half as well without either one of their energies.
I don't live in a tornado country, have never seen one, and would love to never be in one... but if it were to ever happen, if I can't have the Dominator or the TIv2 then I'd love to have the Hyney protector. It looks rather traumatic being inside one of em, but there's a relative chance you'll come back out alive. I'm here for it.
One modification I would have made to the TIV 2 is to have a second pair of spikes. It would more than double the strength cause with only a single pair the vehicle can pivot around them and generate torque. If you have 4 then the force can't concentrate on just 1 spike.
I'm a metric user, but I think 400kph sounds impresive because, well, we are used to the reference number. For example. 120-150kph is your typical motorway/highway speed, while 320+kph is F1/MotoGP top speed. SInce I rarely used miles, for me 100mph is a meaningless number. 250mph, what's that? I only recognised how meaningful it is after I mentally converted them to kph. For those who used to it though, it's more impressive. 'Oh yeah, Indycar average speed is 230+mph.'
I remember when they tried to make that storm chasers stuff a big show after that thing with the window happened, we got to see the dude's window explode in his face at least 3 times each commercial break for like a year 🤣
The TIV2 survived an actual tornado. And the best part, is that it was filmed and uploaded to RUclips. Keep an eye out for the piece of sheet metal that creates a spark as it collides with the vehicle.
Amazing episode but I cannot belive that they let Jamie do the last part with that suit.. Why they didn't use buster to test that out is beyond me.. He was risking his own life trying that out and it was scary to watch. I cannot belive that they where allowed to do it this way. No insurance can help you if you're dead..
@@bigfan10-gaming79 ah. Might explain why he was so lose on the hearing protection if his hearing was already pretty sub optimal. Might not have noticed how loud things where.
could be more of a liability, you could potentially damage your wrists, hands or arms when taking a hit from debris. though that could be preferable to taking a rock head on...
If it had handles, they should be made so that they could slip out of your hand in case the shield pulls away. For a mk2 version, I'd consider having an X-frame as the base rather than a horizontal bar. Spread out that interfacing load between the top & bottom. And I'd also go with thinner rigid foam, maybe 3/4 thickness. But then add a softer foam layer, the same thickness as the thinner hard foam -so its 50% thicker overall. Not sure what could be done to 'firm up' the overall structure so that it is still quick to deploy but less liable to get whipped about by the wind.
Well they tested the vehicles with the wind coming from the front - but wasn't the problem of a tornado, that the winds angle of attack changes rapidly?
The Tornado protection meat bag was okay with protecting you from a head on with a wooden can shaped object, But what about a wooden nail like spike/splinter that could fit between the aluminium protection panels?
I had a problem in my aerodynamics course similar to the human protector dome, I wonder if the solution we had for a 2D shape that we did the analysis for would work in dome form.
Damage is also caused by flying debris, a real test would include debris like building materials, trees, and even other vehicles, then we will see how well they withstand those windspeeds. Sean is no longer chasing, but Reed is, and he does have a much newer Dominator as well. I don't know if either of them have ever gone into an F5 with those vehicles.
the control is 100% wrong (unprotected STANDING person), Adam should lay flat on the ground too but without protection. its not possible to determine whether laying flat or the shield is the contributing factor. The reason is that you can see Jamie is laying flat alright when the shield came off the first time at 135 before he fixed it. So yeah, its unfortunate that the whole thing become invalid because of wrong control. Why? because IF laying flat vs. laying flat + shield makes no MATERIAL difference (except shielding from debris), then in an emergency, laying flat is still viable. And c'mon aluminium plate isnt that strong without any kind of MATRIX COMPOSITE. The reason their strength test works was because it deflected the object (wood) rather than taking the hit head on. But well its a successful entertainment and get me thinking too. as far as the show goes, its a success
The pins swivel on the board. He can realign. The first version had a tail to help it turn, but it didn't work as they took it off the reworked version.
@@Yvolve To work, the stabilizer would have needed to be mounted rigid to the frame, but that'd make the whole thing to complicated to assemble quickly. Removing it meant one less thing to spank Jamie. Pivoting around with your feet feels doable, so long as you can sense how the wind is shifting -which might be difficult given that the whole shelter is shaking violently & you're blind to the world.
The moat insane thing to me is the fact that most super and hypercars (if pointing in the right direction) would have just stood there and generated downforce 🤯
21:48 I'm watching this for the first time and omg... it sounds like that could end up being someone's coffin once it got compressed too far into the ground. 😟 Edit: Impressive! Still unconvinced that it'll survive a flying cow or stronger winds, but if all you're facing are 180 mph winds and various smallish chunks of ice, you're set!
If the wind does get under that thing it's turning into a kite. Also they edited down the setup time, not sure how long you have between deciding you need that thing and setting it up.
I'd be curious to see this done again using a 777-300ER with the GE-90 115B engines, making 115,000 pounds of thrust, compared to the old JT9D Pratt & Whitneys on this old 747-200 (which only made 46,000 pounds of thrust per motor). The wind speeds would no doubt be the same, I'm guessing the newer engines wouldn't have to work as hard though to achieve the thrust required to get the wind speeds needed. But it'd still be cool to see a GE90 115B on full pelt.
All at once. Everybody wearing the exact same thing is a dead giveaway, but It’s what would make the most sense from a production standpoint, since there’s a lot of logistics involved.
First of all, another amaing episode. Secondly, how come Tori Grant and Kari aren't in this episode? Is this around the time that they left the series due to finacial reasons? Third and finally, could you please upload the episode that sees them test Hollywood car crash scenes.
This was a crossover episode Discovery ordered to give the show Storm Chasers a ratings bump, so they didn't allocate a Build Team a myth for this episode since this was basically an ad.
This tornado thing is just wrong They spin pushing from one side... Then come suction, thereafter the tear and another push. Please ler me know what i got wrong😊
Some of the episodes that really destroyed Mythbusters. these crosspromo events where speculative discovery producers, wanted to use one successful show "Mythbusters" to elevate other discovery realityfranchises.. Adam talked about this on his YT ch in regards to things that was fra from ideal and how much of Mythbusters content that sadly became more and more speculative in its nature, where myths/themes were choosen not because it was interesting Myths but from secondary agendas. and it was sadly down to- some of Discovery's very ruthless producers from some of Discovery other "reality shows" that sadly were ported in. same with certain nationalist russian Myths that were chosen to appeal to Russia, in the same period that Discovery were trying to sell show to Russia , and itswas in general this speculative nature, where the content in itself wasn't the decisive factor but secondary agendas. .. promote other discovery reality shows, or cater to certain regions, and the nationakistic bias in those regions.
I'm sorry but that "portable storm shield" is the dumbest thing that mythbusters have ever made. There are so many vulnerable spots in that thing there is no way it would stop a sharp object from piercing it.
Well.. where is the difference between windspeed of 160mph and driving a car at 160mph? Why arent all cars go flying then? (Except downpressing force of sportscars..)
160 miles is pretty fast they used the car which is not very aerodynamic and never goes that fast since it’s not powerful enough apart of that blowing a car off isn’t the same as riding a car bc when car wheels lose the traction the speed goes down
@@LollipopUnicorny Hm, I was going 130 miles with a Golf 2 20 yrs ago, not really an aerodynamic car in my eyes 😁 and there are others, light and less aerodynamic cars that could go 160 miles - and I have actually never heard of one going up in the air. Nor would I know that cars in that speed would lose traction and therefor would go slower. Losing traction would be quite difficult to handle as well 😁 I get the point though and its obvious, that it mainly has to do with aerodynamics and downforce as the density of air is the same, no matter if youre driving or get wind blowing at you
@@dailybusiness8162 Not sure if it’s possible to flip a car only because of fast speed I mean in order to flip a car you either need a constant wind or instant change of aerodynamic characteristics of the car’s
Turbulence & direction. Wind at that speed will have all sorts of ripples and swirls and gusts that are overall much more chaotic. With a car driving at those speeds, the air is usually going to be pretty smooth & predictable. Plus, a moving car will only encounter fast moving air from the front. A stationary car can experience wind from any direction.
Aluminium (Aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air. Aluminium visually resembles silver, both in its color and in its great ability to reflect light. It is soft, nonmagnetic, and ductile. It has one stable isotope, 27Al, which is highly abundant, making aluminium the twelfth-most common element in the universe. The radioactivity of 26Al, a more unstable isotope, leads to it being used in radiometric dating.
40:50 Jamie describing something in noises instead of his usual words shows how much adrenalin must've been in his veins at that moment
One adrenaline.
Only one.
And that's because he got spanked by that thing and he liked it.
"The pilot cuts off the engines almost immediately..." *Jaime left flailing in the wind for 10 seconds*
Jamie was hyped. I noticed that he loved attempting dangerous stuff in this show, like riding that motorcycle across the lake. He's an absolute badass at heart.

Everyone loves the Savage but I gotta say I got a lot of love for the Hyneman

modify the human tornado shield by strapping the fabric to your suit. might help decrease lift.

Hi Jamie
I would have attached a second floor. and attached to the top of the tent. It would add security?
It's not the wind. It's all about minimum pressure in the eye of the tornado. If you're in, you're in the air with all you protection devices.
one design flaw... u get hit everywhere
What if the wind came from the side?

Some of the episodes that really destroyed Mythbusters.
these crosspromo events where speculative discovery producers, wanted to use one successful show "Mythbusters" to elevate other discovery realityfranchises..
Adam talked about this on his YT ch in regards to things that was fra from ideal and how much of Mythbusters content that sadly became more and more speculative in its nature, where myths/themes were choosen not because it was interesting Myths but from secondary agendas.
and it was sadly down to- some of Discovery's very ruthless producers from some of Discovery other "reality shows" that sadly were ported in.
same with certain nationalist russian Myths that were chosen to appeal to Russia, in the same period that Discovery were trying to sell show to Russia , and itswas in general this speculative nature, where the content in itself wasn't the decisive factor but secondary agendas. .. promote other discovery reality shows, or cater to certain regions, and the nationakistic bias in those regions.

Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air. Aluminium visually resembles silver, both in its color and in its great ability to reflect light. It is soft, nonmagnetic, and ductile. It has one stable isotope, 27Al, which is highly abundant, making aluminium the twelfth-most common element in the universe. The radioactivity of 26Al, a more unstable isotope, leads to it being used in radiometric dating.
Like this comment for no reason other than Mythbusters being a great show
A B747-200? in 2024? wow.
This was shot almost 15 years ago.
Yeah I googled the registration of the plane used for this. It was stored in 2010 and scrapped in 2015. The JT9D engines were quite old by that point

Myth busters is great because the cast is just right. And by that I mean they are white or Asian.
