Grenade exploded because explosives like C4 detonate, releasing lots of energy in incredibly short amount of time, and shockwave moves faster than sound. Rubidium and cesium don't detonate, they deflagrate. The shockwave is considerably weaker, and moves slower than sound, thus massively reducing damage inflicted. Water reactions simply aren't fast enough to explode.
mythbusters sparked my curiosity, woke my interest for science and math, and literally defined who i am. I loved this show so much, I am still watching it on the regular.
It was so weird watching this as a kid because I know exactly where they got the "hand grenade" line from. It wasn't a internet video, it was Braniac, a science TV show in the UK hosted by Richard Hammond... One my science teacher was very clear was "rubbish", pointing out the whole bathrub experiment specifically
Wait what... Drink Cognac in a freezer whilst testing if sodium chilled enough, could' blow the bloody doors off' Love you guys please please please never stop ♥️
2.5 kg of potassium is not "the same" as 2.5 kg of sodium, because they have different molecular weights. There are roughly two-thirds the number of atoms in 2.5 kg of potassium as there are in 2.5 kg of sodium.
bamboo acts as one giant plant typically, for the really fast growing shoots, it needs to be part of the underground root structure of an already expanded bamboo plant. source: some asshole threw a shoot into the back yard of the property I rent now about 20 years ago, the entire back yard was all bamboo right up to the windows, when cut down and stump ground, the energy in the remaining roots was enough to grow 3-4 meter high bamboo in under 3 weeks. after cutting and spraying these re-grows the bamboo began rapidly spreading underground and popping up in unusual places that it had never popped up before. after 3 years and constant cutting and spraying the bamboo has been killed back enough that when it pops up its small grass like clumps about a foot high. they need the rest of the plant to have stored enough energy to rapidly grow or they start downsizing growth
Do not consume alcohol unless rescue is imminent. Alcohol will make you feel warmer but it dialates blood vessels and makes you sweat which will lower your body temperature. Remember the classic Star Trek episode, "The Naked Time" and the Star Trek TNG episode, "The Naked Now". There were people showering, fully dressed, as they froze to death. This is accurately depicting the results of extreme alcohol intoxication.
American myths seem to be all focussed on guns, explosions and other violence, mixed with a dose of conspiracies. Sometimes I wished that I was a psycho analyst.
It's funny how while they run for cover camera crew stands much closer to the fire and keeps shooting. And when mythbusters are all standing behind the glass it seems that a large number of people stand about the same distance from the fire but without any protection...
Using their results, I put forth that Brandy (alcohol) upon rescue could help ward off extremity frost bite issues. Get blood to fingers and toes. But, if you are not coming in from the cold, booze would accelerate your demise.
that's what i was thinking too, if a rescue dog has found you, odds are rescue is already on the way, and the brandy would be for starting the process of minimizing frost bite damage .
Alcohol might (and I stress that might) help, if you are at risk of loosing your extremities, by distributing your body warmth to them. But that should only be considered, if help is on the way and you aren't at risk of hypothermia.
I've heard the Saint-Bernhard dog bringing you a cognac or a brandy story before. I think the conclusion was, today somebody can get warm much easier, when rescued, but mind you, drinking cognac (or similar drinks) has been an option on ships for a very long time. You do get some energy into your body, and it works quite fast. And it has the obvious drawbacks, being drunk and in danger of freezing to death? No thank you.
Alcohol is actually used to cool people down who are in danger of hyperthermia. Though usually it's splashed on them since alcohol evaporates very quickly and extracts a lot of heat when doing so.
The way I remember hearing of it was in school in history class when they were on expedition to North Pole and don't know if it was true but someone was meant to have gone out and said that he may 49:10 be some time but he was going out to kill himself as sacrifice because they were running out of supplies and he would rather dye on his own terms 😅
One of those fools loses control over his voice, while singing. All people who SAY they can't sing do that. They can talk, but they can't add a musical key?!
Why did the put the metals on the surface of the water instead of down in the u-bend to ensure better ocntact with water?? I really do question the B team sometimes
Disagree. Bamboo torture not confirmed for two reasons: A living human has a microbiome that will hinder to growth the bamboo through you. Additionally, the torso used was lucent. In reality, the bamboo will look for another path to grow.
44:34 Lol: The three precious stars behind their little blast shield while no fewer than 8 crew are out in the open! (obviously there's little chance of an actual explosion but still kind of funny they left that one wide shot in..)
Also herd that it was the way that the old ones of the Escimo would give their own life to save the younger ones when they were desperate and running out of supplies it's not possible to just go to the store when you're transport is a sled and the dogs are in the igloo with you helping to keep it warmer with their body heat think about it teams of dogs and family it's I think where the term self sacrifice came from because they knew there's no surviving it when they would go out would be during a storm so they could not be found if they went out to search for them in it they had given their life for the others in the group
I wonder if the piano didn't explode because the fire was too hot/too uniform. If one side caught fire first and the strings weren't directly in heat, if the structural integrity would go before the strings expanded from heat.
The strings are spanned on a cast iron frame. The wood is just casing. If the strings were spanned on a wooden frame, the piano had to be tuned every day.
when will people understand that just because alkali metals react violently does not make it an explosion. the reaction produces a lot of heat and vapor but not a lot of force unlike explosives.
-Wikipedia: "An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases." Seems like it would be an explosion to me, but im no scientist :P
@@Romeren it's the high pressure part that makes it not an explosion. that's what i ment when i said that it doesn't have a lot of force. the vapor is the water boiling from the temperature not a massive expansion of gasses otherwise we could consider boiling the kettle an explosion.
@@drackdan1888 I see, so the waterboiler experiment is considered an explosion because of the force? Hahah imagine "honey im going to explode some water for coffee, would u like some?" xD
Sorry last, wait what we promise... So forget the alcohol, a giant furry dog laying over you is more warming than the brandy. So that explains chewie and solo, friends for life... Seriously you expect us to end there, no way dudes What if. Han and chewie, instead of the TomTom turned up to save Luke Would he cut open chewie and shove Luke inside??? Or thicking💭💭 There's that cave nearby with a dead wampa outside, the one I sheltered in, in Empire strikes back, we could all sleep in there eating cooked wampa flesh slow cooked over his burning body filled with snow now heated, and how was the pot heated... Light sabre dude, get other it
This was basically my childhood cartoons
I watched loads of mythbusters with my oldest daughter(28now) we Often talk about how She loved watching this with me🥰
Me too
Yeeee
I watched Mythbusters instead of cartoons 🤷♂️😂
An episode with good sound? Nice.

Well, with Na (Sodium) there is actually Coulomb explosion happening , which is rather violent. But not as violent as explosives.
What kind of results would you expect if they used nitric acid instead of water?
Grant: "well according to science..."
Tori: "more fire please"
Francium in a toilet/bathtub is the one I want to watch!! ….too bad it’s also radioactive lol
And like a billion dollars a gram. Its either the first or second most expensive and rare substance on earth. Pretty sure the first.

You can't say that!
Love Jamie as a Bond villian.
Keith Moon (drummer The Who) was the leading expert for exploding toilets.
And drum sets lol
Wait what...
Adam Hallucinating about Jamie.
Please continue ♥️
"I Don't see any subcutaneous damage here" KILLED me
Wait what...

Good sound 😁 Thanks for the upload.

Piano thing was daft. Enjoyed the Saint Bernard though. What a star!
I realy like the Bamboo myth .... my mother in law not so much ...
Thank you Mythbusters ...
American myths seem to be all focussed on guns, explosions and other violence, mixed with a dose of conspiracies. Sometimes I wished that I was a psycho analyst.
I don't know if I just happen to think in a similar way about problems as Adam or if he was that much of a role model.
It's funny how while they run for cover camera crew stands much closer to the fire and keeps shooting. And when mythbusters are all standing behind the glass it seems that a large number of people stand about the same distance from the fire but without any protection...
Camera men are replaceable :) I'm joking, love to the camera crew
Never seen Jamie laugh so hard as in 25:20

One of the downsides of the alcohol is that after dilation of blood vessels you will have contraction, past the normal to even smaller size.
I wanna see C4 versus a thick metal bathtub ^^
She‘s the organ grindaaaaaaah! 😂😂 37:06
i burnt a piano a couple of years ago, nothing happened except it burned, lol
Alcohol might (and I stress that might) help, if you are at risk of loosing your extremities, by distributing your body warmth to them. But that should only be considered, if help is on the way and you aren't at risk of hypothermia.
my guess is that the brandy's dilutive effect is there to save your hands and legs from frostbite?
Try blowing a hand grenade without the metal surrounding the explosive
So... dynamite.
Yea the bamboo shoots don't keep pushing through the ballistic gel because it's transparent and the shoots receive light
I think the explosion experiments would probably have gone better with tiny pebbles instead of solid blocks. More surface area -> more reactions.

Yeah its because they just do random stuff, nothing to do with myths

what song is 37:55
