    • @92xsaabaru-
      @92xsaabaru- 26 дней назад

      My guess is that embedded explosive in the solid slab of concrete would also damage the drum. In the case of the half slab truck, there was nothing to be done.

    • @Goalsplus
      @Goalsplus 26 дней назад

  • @scrivener68
    @scrivener68 26 дней назад +1

    As soon as Jamie compared the half-load of concrete in the one mixer to "solid rock," I thought, "If they can build railway tunnels through mountains, there's probably a method you haven't thought of."

    • @d4slaimless
      @d4slaimless 26 дней назад

      Well, it is either cutting the rocks or drill and blast. Equipment for both methods won't fit in the cement track. They could try to drill few holes with something suitable in cement similar to drill and blast method and put the explosive load in them. Might have helped.

    Shame that the slow motion camera operator didn't turn off the camera at the right time. (he did not forget to turn it on like most people are saying, he just didn't switch it off right after the detonation and it managed to overwrite the early part of explosion on it's storage) Yet this is the best explosion in Mythbusters ever.

  • @Ma_X64

    The real prisoner, instead of using some DC source, was rather using what called a galvanic pair of metals and the salsa was used as an electrolyte. It works as a tiny battery but shorted on its own. And that is why it took 6 years -- the potential difference that galvanic pair gives is quite low: something like 0.5-1.2 V. He was most likely using a piece of copper wire turned around the bar. Or it can even be a silver jewelry. Silver would work faster than copper. So in the formed electrolitic cell copper was the cathode and the iron bar, respectively, anode. And anode is always wants to dissolve.

You know, there is a reason why Hollywood always has multiple camera crews on set, each with backup cameras, filming from 6 to 8 angles at a time when they are doing some crazy stunt that either cannot be repeated or is insanely expensive. You just have to make sure you get good footage out of it, there is no second chance.

    What does adding "know nothing do nothing" extra actors/actresses do for the show? Waste of time, completely unfocuses what it's about.

    Adam was a real jerk! They're too cheap to hire real contractors but snaps his fingers at inexperienced yet hard working team members.

      And that´s the way you convert an inexperienced team into an experienced team. You throw them to the water and shout swim!!!!

      Not to mention they were screwing the pooch. It should have taken no more than a few hours to put that wall up, maybe a day max. They took three days. They're lucky they didn't get fired.
