    • @PursuerOfTruth
      @PursuerOfTruth 4 дня назад +6

      I was thinking the exact same thing. The dummy would be more accurate than the watermelon, particularly with the plaster bag. One because the neck itself, even if it snaps, is connected to the spine and the spine would take some of the force down the vertebrae before the person falls. By the time they hit the ground they may Crack the back of their skull but it wouldn't explode into pieces. There's more but for the sake of keeping this short I'm just saying I agree.

    Problem with your electric sink: Kevin used an AC/DC Arc Welder while you used a compact tac welder. They put out MUCH different energy as the Arc welder is designed for doing those big blobs of welding for reinforcing beams and such while your little tac welder is made for doing small dabs to hold something together for a short time. Myth Busters proved this one real with an actual Full size Arc Welder set to MAX settings (Not what Kevin had it set to if you check the video)

    With the paint can, I think you missed a fact. The paint can, as well as the drop, there is a ledge which the rope would hit. Thst would act on the can by shortening the rope and giving the can a "whipping" effect, increasing its velocity. I can't really work out the maths behind it but I think we'd be looking at some very nasty injuries.

    5:38 with electricity, you need volts and amps to kill. The frequency and the duration of the shock is also a factor. I have a modified transformer that outputs nearly a thousand amps but is limited to 2v, I can’t even feel it on my fingers when I touch it, yet that same current can melt copper in seconds.

    You are using substitutions to actual things used in the movies. It's a different arc welder in the movie so you can't say it's the same effect because you are using a different one.
