I'm watching this episode on a cellphone that takes my fingerprint and scans it on the screen to unlock it. Man how the years pass by fast and technology improves at the speed of light
The way that works is by having a grid of tiny low resolution cameras that are looking through the gaps between pixels of the screen, really cool how small things have become, but it also begs the question, how good are those really? could we fool it with an image of a fingerprint? We need new mythbusters for our new tech ☹
At work now, I have to scan my fingerprint to clock in. It's high resolution, it uses capacitance to tell the difference between rubber/gel and human skin, it looks for a heartbeat, it has an infrared component that looks for blood vessels under the skin, it has a few other features . . . and it's entirely useless. At the high security setting, it refuses to work for the same person the day after they set their fingerprint. At the low security setting, you can just shine your phone's flashlight into it and it works. And in both settings, you can tap it on the side and it works. And in both settings, you can tape a strong magnet to the bottom and it'll just always pass the fingerprint. ergo, my workplace still doesn't have my fingerprint on file as I simply never set it in the first place, and there's a magnet sealed up underneath it so that no one has to have a manager come down and retake their fingerprint every single shift. . . . technology!
I remember this episode so much because even when I was little, I knew I could beat my house's motion sensor by going slow and I was like screaming at the tv for them to try that 😅😂
those are basic motion sensors tho, now we have AI everywhere, if you train a motion sensor with AI, it will go off even if there's slow movement, but it wouldn't register things like moving curtain or a cat.
24:23 As an add on to the fire suit, a space blanket would probably work just as well, they’re small and compact when folded, and you could hold it up towards the detector as you walk past, like the sheet with the ultrasonic sensor.
The Finger Print one and similar seemingly smaller tasks are still my Favorites, since those are the real brain teasers for the team. And its just fun to watch seeing them brainstorm ideas.
Nothing on one, two is binding .... nice click on two. I did see one of his videos where he used a machine that will try every combination. That's was interesting.
14:11 There is this thing called the Internet than has evolved since this episode was filmed. There is instruction available online for this and in fact many of their "mix blur with blur"
It should be noted that all the shenanigans worked on this particular fingerprint lock because it was an optical lock, as most were at the time. From what I understand, those worked from scanning the fingerprint as an image and comparing it from there, meaning that anything that could show a clear enough image of the right fingerprint would fool the scanner. Fingerprint locks today are more tactile, meaning they read the fingerprint through electrical impulses of the shape and texture of the finger on a sensor pad, meaning none of these methods (With perhaps the exception of the ballistic gel finger) would work.
@@BonaTaylor after applying the film and the positive or negative (depending on the type of film) of the design you have to put it under a UV light to develop. After some time the design will be transferred onto the film and during the wash the undeveloped parts will fall off leaving only the design that should be protected during the etching.
I worked in a Company that designed various Alarm Systems, and we came up with systems that were unbeatable. Every technology has its weaknesses, but it's when you combine them to overlap those weaknesses, that a System has a chance to become unbeatable.
The safe might not need waterproofing. Push a big plastic bag through the hole, and fill that bag with water. It's less than ideal, but it might still couple the energy of the explosion to the safe enough to blow the whole door off. The hole in the safe top could be cut using a less destructive method. The demolished safe top at 47:03 looks like concrete wrapped in metal armour. The "Hatton Garden safe deposit" burglars drilled multiple holes through 20" thick concrete" big enough to crawl through. However, in the spirit of the myth, where the 're-locker' doesn't matter, drill a hole in the top through the concrete, Drill a 'circle' in the steel with a ring of holes? If the plastic bag technique doesn't couple enough of the explosive energy to the door, because of the empty cavity, fill the door cavity with something thicker than water. The idea is to use something much more viscous than water, so sealing leaks is easier, eg. 'Jell-o' which will idealy stop leaking as it sets. Seal the door, then fill that much smaller door-cavity volume with gallons of quick setting 'Jell-o'. It can be prepared in advance, and already be cool before pouring. Maybe thick oil would work and the leaks be a minimal issue? Best Wishes, ☮
Funnily enough, the mud think can work for certain situations. Corridor Digital tested it against a thermal lense used for hunting, and it worked really, really well to hide himself in a field.
Yes, but PIR's don't work like that; they work by seeing changes in temperature, which is why the slow walk works, and just cooling the moving object doesn't.
this sonar sensor is something i didn't expect nor remember. A BED SHEET?? moving slowly is a flaw tho, it should be configured as static. i mean that when you turn it on, then any change to room would set it off, even if movement is super slow, if object gets past certain point (maybe 10cm) then it would recognize that there's an object that shouldn't be there, so it would go off. in other words, this threshold he was talking about, shouldn't exist. it should go off if there's ANY change in room. it doesn't work like motion sensor, it measures time that it takes for soundwaves to get back to it, so it means it can detect if anything has moved, even if it's super slow.
I'd call the safe one busted. Yes, they did blow the door away, but if that's going to destroy whatever is in the safe, it defeats the purpose of opening the safe.
my expectations when it comes to the safe door: water will do its job. but if you freeze it, it will be even more efficient than just adding more power to the explosion.
13:40 i did the same with a tattoo, back in 1997 i took the small triple logo thing from the GAME hitman! (its the tattoo on the hand of the monk, tattooing the barcode in the intro of the movie hitman from 2007) i made a screen grab, printed it out, and just started enlarging it, drawing it with a marker, repeated this until it was the size of my back.... And for the kids thinking this is "cool" its not, i hate that ugly thing!!!
It would take too long 🤔 thus busting it, even if lance takes kinda longer, imagine how long would take to cut out a frame. If there was gold or golden bars, the robber would need to get good grip on it due to heavy weight. Also it might be filled with water without leaking using latex balloon, it would stretch and hold all the water, leaving top above hole could be used for explosive entry
I would have liked to have seen the Predator scene revisited. You’d need a very hot environment and crawl through the fresh cold mud, seeing how long it lasts.
hmmmm..... making estimates about the "Nitro-Vile" with no reference points in the frame? well, i used the picture where the vile is droped into the save and the hand had roughly the same sice like my hand and so i also made some estimates. in my opinion the vile has ~10cm hight and ~2.5cm diameter. so after a little bit of math i came to the conclusion the vile should have a volume of 613592 mm³ or roughly 613.6ml. 4 times more than the 140ml Adam estimated. but because 613ml is a very unlikly volume, 750ml (3/4 liter) or 500ml (1/2 liter) are more common, i would estimate there should be 500ml Nitroglycerin in that vile. ...now i'm going to watch the rest of the episode ;D
If you think about it, the theory for the sonic sensor is like a bat, and they love to slam into laughry or some body hair just cause they can't 'see' any reflection o-o
Its kinda sad to see this show so many years after it released. The guys are not talking to each other, grant passed away and everyone moved on to different things. Sigh Make me wonder what imahara would be up to if he was still around
To be fair, outside the show I don't think Adam and Jamie did much fraternizing, and of course people move onto different things, but we still have all this goodness online. As for Grant, if he was still around I would bet good money that he would be building some form of adorable death machine. RIP Grant.
How stupid, even a small children knew here that you just take a blanked cover your self behind it in front of sensor and go… and if it wasn’t heat sensor just motion one you go very very slow and again no alarm…
Reminder: biometric security is a horrible idea, and something you should reject when asked to perform. It took less than 12 hours from Apple releasing Touch ID to someone registering their iPhone with Angela Merkel's fingerprint, all based on just a photograph where her hand was in frame.
Personally I think the using water to bust open a glass relocker safe was busted from the thermal lance drilling alone not only did he use way more rods but those rods set fire to everything in the safe and that busted the loot being undamaged right there and then there was the fact that they had to open the safe to make it water tight something the burglar couldn’t do and if he could open the safe he wouldn’t have bothered with this method and true the water hammer effect blew the door off the safe the loot was far from undamaged so personally I’d call that myth busted not confirmed
Depends. Technically, the myth was "can you use water to detonate and open a relocker safe?" - and that, yes you can. You can use another drill, you can even forgo the whole waterproofing and just fill it faster, or take your time and proof it. The movie also showed the loot was in a seperate box which MIGHT even protect from the thermal lance (probably not, but still, it might). So, if anything, this should be "confirmed - but impractical", because if you can take that kind of time, there are easier ways ... nevermind that, given so much time, you could even say 'screw it' and just lance the entire goddamn front, the locks be damned :D

Always love the episodes where the whole team gets to tackle the same myth and bounce off each other.
Yes, I agree. Though I love every mythbusters episode, these are my favorites. ❤

Love this episode because this is one of those moments where Grant had all the action, lol.
I tried the super slow walk on the motion sensors at my grandparents' house as a kid. It really does work!

Garbage bag. ;) works wonders
Why didn't they spray the sensor with the c02?

I just watched the film Sneakers. At least two of these myths are in there. Good to know it was half possible lol 😂
Ha I thought this was old but it's only just been uploaded an hour ago and I've already watched it!😂
I can’t believe after all that trouble, the fire suit and a piece of glass were able to beat the thermal motion sensor
It is not realistic. So technically they not beat it because it would not happen in real life.
Plus it is not practical. That is the problem with these type of shows.
@@cameronlettice3061 Of course it’s not practical but at least it achieve the results
@@cameronlettice3061😂 What do you want them to actually do? Teach people how to break into places? Like burglars?
A regular garbage bag can work as well, if youre in a pinch.
so good to know exactly what the crucial step is narrator

Yes, but PIR's don't work like that; they work by seeing changes in temperature, which is why the slow walk works, and just cooling the moving object doesn't.
Knowing that the goods are in the bottom of the safe it may be reasonable to fill the bottom of safe with sand and only then with water.
The swamp mud in the first Predator is certainly busted, but the thermally insulated suits used in Predator 2 is confirmed.
I miss Grant so much, I can't believe it's been 4 years

YESSSSSS
wish they accounted for shelf units inside the safe. they might do that but i got to comment right away
Classic episode.
You can probably trick the thermal camera by holding a blanket in front of you too. Just gotta be careful with the fingers.
That safe - are the walls just concrete sandwiched between steel plates?
Does anybody have an idea of what step they edited out for the fingerprints?
Look up photochemical etching, it's the same process used for making circuit boards.
@@ryngobrody1627 intersting. thanks
I'd call the safe one busted. Yes, they did blow the door away, but if that's going to destroy whatever is in the safe, it defeats the purpose of opening the safe.
the fingerprint can get from the ingerprintreader too.
my expectations when it comes to the safe door:

The safe myth reminded me of the Antman movie safe scene. Only he use water and liquid nitrogen
I had beat a motion and thermal sensor by Moving slow. I think you should Try it by moving way too slow that the motion couldn't even register.
Can you blow open a safe?
Yes. But every step along the way destroys the valuables inside.

a pressurized double layer suit with an airpump that let cold air fill the suit and the heat of the body dissipates. 🤔
Adam's calculations for how much explosives to use were way off. And no one even mentioned it🤔
AOL internet 😅
yea having a leaky bum would definately set of some alarms.
given they need to melt a hole on the top of the safe, would it not be better to just cut a big enough hole to get all the loot?
It would take too long 🤔 thus busting it, even if lance takes kinda longer, imagine how long would take to cut out a frame. If there was gold or golden bars, the robber would need to get good grip on it due to heavy weight.

Strange how Grant (RIP) seemed to have a mirror image of The Big Dipper constellation made up by his freckles on his right cheek (@2:28).

How about filling the safe up with water for 90% and then start workin' with the plasma torch thingie?
did u forget that's where the water is pumped inside?
@@mdnpascual since it was leaking, submerge the safe and it will probably fill up.
I would have liked to have seen the Predator scene revisited. You’d need a very hot environment and crawl through the fresh cold mud, seeing how long it lasts.
motion is the feature
If you look closely, you can see that the detonation of the vault door with the water in the movie is bad CGI
u could have used a inner tine of r a bike an dused hat to seal the safe, by fitting it in and inflating it.
What's the missing step?
😅
14:07 what is that, .50 pen or a prop or what?
In real life someone has robbed a safe using water and i dont think they used a lance
hmmmm..... making estimates about the "Nitro-Vile" with no reference points in the frame? well, i used the picture where the vile is droped into the save and the hand had roughly the same sice like my hand and so i also made some estimates. in my opinion the vile has ~10cm hight and ~2.5cm diameter. so after a little bit of math i came to the conclusion the vile should have a volume of 613592 mm³ or roughly 613.6ml. 4 times more than the 140ml Adam estimated. but because 613ml is a very unlikly volume, 750ml (3/4 liter) or 500ml (1/2 liter) are more common, i would estimate there should be 500ml Nitroglycerin in that vile.

I'm guessing with gold bar's or coint's it wouldve stayed toghether aloth better
Not nitroglycerin, fairly sure it’s mercury fulminate
