      @CoochieKissKing 15 дней назад

      I agree.
      As a ASE master cert tech and now shop owner, I've seen some wild stuff done to peoples cars. Especially country folks cars.
      Additionally, if an aftermaket subwoofer/speaker system was installed, those generally use 6-00 gauge wire, which is larger than most most OEM wire found in most vehicles. If installed incorrectly and if it had a short to it, that could definitely set off the bullet tested in this episode.
      Circling back to wild stuff done to peoples cars, I had an older country gentleman stop in because, just like the myth, his headlights wouldn't work. He said he had a "buddy" work on it to try to get it to work. The "buddy" had installed 8 gauge solid copper insulated wire (like you'd find used on an outlet in your house) from the neg battery terminal, to the power input on the headlight, then from the headlight to a light switch you'd find in your house that he'd screwed into the dashboard, then from the light switch back to the pos battery terminal. Despite the debauchery, I'm sure the switch would have worked for a bit - if the bulb wasn't burnt out 🤦‍♂️😂
      I once had a customer make their own battery out of a tupperware container and several smaller batteries. Their battery was dead and they still had a warranty on it from when my shop installed it 2.5 years ago. They made the battery, so they could drive to my shop, instead of paying for a tow. 😂 Of course they could of called me and I would of just delivered a new battery to them, but I still appreciate the ingenuity lol
      These are just anecdotes, but my point being is that I've seen wild stuff happen and crazy modifications done to peoples cars. I'd say its entirely plausible a redneck who was willing to use a .22 as a fuse would have done some other wild stuff to his truck, which could cause a short hot enough to set off the bullet.
      Additionally, had it been a different type of .22, I bet it could of easily hurt him. .22LR or a .22Hornet would definitely mess someone up.

    The only thing with the "explosive decompression" was that I always took the suction to be a result of the fast moving air on the outside as the plane flies at hundreds of miles per hour. I always thought that fast moving air was what caused the actual suction as just decompression won't cause suction. So I figured the air moving would then catch on whatever hole there was, thus ripping the hole bigger and bigger, and the difference in pressure from inside to outside is MUCH greater at altitude. Was surprised they only tested it at seas level...

    • @kitsune0012
      @kitsune0012 18 дней назад

      Ah you mean that causes a venturi effect.

    • @NACLGames
      @NACLGames 16 дней назад +2

      The latter part of your statement is incorrect. The difference in pressure from inside to outside is the same in this experiment. The whole point of pumping air into the aircraft in this episode was to make sure the difference matches that at altitude.
      A lot of people misunderstand pressure, which leads to part of the reason why people believe all those movies which show explosive decompression. If the difference between the inside and outside is 8~10 PSI, then that difference is functionally the same whether the plane is at altitude or at sea level. The air pressure in the plane in this experiment was probably pumped up to about 22 PSI for that purpose, while in an actual flight the average PSI in the plane would normally be about 10~12 PSI. Sea level pressure outside the plane is about 14.
      Another misunderstood idea about pressure, and perhaps why you may think that there is a difference in result (altitude vs sea level) if the actual pressure is different regardless of the difference, is the idea that higher pressure simply exerts a greater force overall. This is untrue, both with regards how it interacts with pressure on the other side of a vessel, and on the surface of the vessel itself. PSI Stands for Pounds per Square Inch, because that's the force being exerted in a specific area. That doesn't change if there is a hole in the vessel that is large or small. But if the hole is larger, then that's more 'square inches', so the force being exerted through that hole added up is greater. This is why a small pinhole doesn't cause explosive decompression, the pressure is the same and so the force exerted on the hole is very small. While in the experiment in the show, we can see a larger hole causes something quite close to what we expect from explosive decompression.
      The force exerted only changes with one other major factor...how much pressure is being exerted on the hole from the other side. That's where the difference in pressure comes in. As long as this is the same difference at sea level or at altitude, your result is going to be the same.
      As for the rest of your statement about the suction, the other commenter is right in that there is something called the Venturi effect where effectively, a jetstream or other flow can cause an area of lower pressure, which causes suction. While it does happen, it doesn't occur at the level that will cause explosive decompression. The effect is greatest when the flow is pushed through a very small cross-sectional area, which means it has the greatest impact on a pinhole. Additionally, the effect is strongest along the line of action of the flow, but in this case a hole on the side of the aircraft is perpendicular to the jetstream. While they didn't demonstrate this in the show, physics tells us this effect is far too small in the case of a jet airliner to impact a pinhole, let along a larger hole. I can't comment on a situation where the structure of the aircraft is damaged to the extent that it causes drag and opens the hole wider....that's very specific. But I would also remind you that at altitude, air is quite thin and may not result in the kind of shockingly powerful drag force you're thinking about.

In the episode where they presented the Lotus Esprit active suspension they also presented a device that was supposed to stop a car straight away and, the idea was having some sort of a spear thrower inside the car that would shoot a spear onto the floor and it had a steel cable connected to the rear transmission or near it and the obvious result was the car continuing to move forward while the rear transmission would stay behind just like in the movie.

      The fast pitch up is typical for small hand crank sirens. Those sirens produce true square waves which are not natural occuring, that‘s why those sirens sound so bone chilling. Your neighbours will love you. Oh and always wear ear protection, real square waves can cause permanent hearing loss at lower SPL than „smoother“ sound waves like speakers or gun shots.
      Edit: Oops the siren like background noise is most likely the air compressor, look up huffer cart videos. Could be some resonance making it more noisy.

    This doesn’t make much sense to me... because at altitude, there's low pressure outside, and the cabin is pressurized to about 8,000ft. I get they calculated to simulate the pressure difference. But they're pressurized at the surface. So there's high pressure outside and inside. So when the air is escaping, it's high pressure going to pressure.

    I can say for certain that a man in Cotton Plant, Arkansas did in fact shoot himself in the nuts by putting a bullet in his trucks fuse box. Lewis Black mentions it in this clip: ruclips.net/video/aIYkaCAsTyw/видео.html. I know there was a televised special where he reads it direct from an article, but I can't find the clip. The name of the special was Red White and Screwed. The crazy thing is that it is the very same incident as the myth. The guys name is even Thurston Poole. The other guys name is Billy Ray Wallace.
    In short (lmao!!!) the myth should be confirmed. I was just amazed when this episode first aired because my favorite show had mentioned something that my favorite comedian had previously mentioned.

    My son suffered a lot on one plane trip; he had a post-flu ear infection. Even that relatively small pressure difference caused a lot of pain.

    As a ASE master cert tech and now shop owner, I've seen some wild stuff done to peoples cars. Especially country folks cars.
    Additionally, if an aftermaket subwoofer/speaker system was installed, those generally use 6-00 gauge wire, which is larger than most most OEM wire found in most vehicles. If installed incorrectly and if it had a short to it, that could definitely set off the bullet tested in this episode.
    Circling back to wild stuff done to peoples cars, I had an older country gentleman stop in because, just like the myth, his headlights wouldn't work. He said he had a "buddy" work on it to try to get it to work. The "buddy" had installed 8 gauge solid copper insulated wire (like you'd find used on an outlet in your house) from the neg battery terminal, to the power input on the headlight, then from the headlight to a light switch you'd find in your house that he'd screwed into the dashboard, then from the light switch back to the pos battery terminal. Despite the debauchery, I'm sure the switch would have worked for a bit - if the bulb wasn't burnt out 🤦‍♂️😂
    I once had a customer make their own battery out of a tupperware container and several smaller batteries. Their battery was dead and they still had a warranty on it from when my shop installed it 2.5 years ago. They made the battery, so they could drive to my shop, instead of paying for a tow. 😂 Of course they could of called me and I would of just delivered a new battery to them, but I still appreciate the ingenuity lol
    These are just anecdotes, but my point being is that I've seen wild stuff happen and crazy modifications done to peoples cars. I'd say its entirely plausible a redneck who was willing to use a .22 as a fuse would have done some other wild stuff to his truck, which could cause a short hot enough to set off the bullet.
    Additionally, had it been a different type of .22, I bet it could of easily hurt him. .22LR or a .22Hornet would definitely mess someone up.

    I am not an engineer but I do know some physics. This test was bunk from the beginning. It needs to be tested in the same atmospheric conditions. When the pressure releases it is hitting a thicker atmosphere so there is actually more resistance on the decompression. If they were at altitude with a significantly lower pressure and resistance the decompression would be far more violent. Up at altitude the air is so thin there would be little resistance against the outward air.

      @milkman3723 15 дней назад

      @@frizzykid100 There is no way to compensate for such a pressure differential of 30k feet. The air is so thin and they have to use so much pressure in the plane that the plane literally expands. So when the force is release because the aire is so thin it comes out far more violent than it would at sea level. You have 4.3 psi at 30k feet pressing back against the plane. At sea level you have 14.7 psi pushing back against the plane. The deceleration of the pressure loss is far greater (3.5X) than at an altitude of 30k feet. For every action the is reaction. In the video they said 8 psi.... A plane at altitude has to be pressurized to 10.9 psi. So you are telling me that 8psi releasing against 14.7 psi is the same as 10.9 psi releasing against 4.3 psi???????????????? The differential on the ground will always be greater. The differential in the air will always be less. More force is exerted and more catastrophic stress is applied to the plane at altitude. Simple Elementary physics my dude.

      @@milkman3723 The airplane is at ground level, so the base cabin pressure is already at 14PSI. The compressor is only adding 8PSI, to bring it to 22PSI total (ground level atmospheric pressure + 8PSI).
      If the cabin pressure was 8PSI, they would have to had to pull a vacum first.
      It isn't explained very well in the episode, but they are adding 8PSI to the cabin, over top of the 14PSI of existing ground level pressure.
      The pressure gauge is zeroed out to atmospheric pressure, anything that shows up on it is on top of basic atmospheric pressure: hence the 14PSI + 8PSI = 22PSI.
      22PSI > 14PSI, thus equating to an 8PSI difference between outside and inside, matching the difference at 35 000ft.

    The Captain was physically sucked out of his seatbelt. 🤣
    The panel blew as the plane carrying 81 passengers was flying at an altitude of 17,300 feet. Explosive decompression forced Captain Tim Lancaster head-first out of the cockpit, leaving his upper body pinned against the exterior of the plane and his legs caught in the controls, which hurled the jetliner into a dive.

    2. There is a cable on a fixed anchor point attached to the back axle holding straight back.
