The lead balloon was the first time a "Busted" feel like a win more than a loss.
The design and making of the lead balloon was truly compelling. I'm so glad these are on youtube now.
Here here! Used to watch them as a little kid but now I can watch them on my computer😂
Adam has said that the lead foil was one of the hardest things to source for all of Mythbusters, because no company in North America could reliably create such thin foil. Only makes me appreciate one of my favorite episodes even more!
They were, but they were deleted
Adam: 🤓
Jamie: (/:€
Adam talked about how tricky the lead-foil was to get on his YT-channel.
They had an US-maker of lead-foil that promised them the thickness they required for the myth but they actuall broke their equipment trying to get the lead rolled that thin. They then found the German company who not only made them the foil as thin as they needed it, but I think 30% thinner than that.
I miss TV-shows like this :( it was a good show, fun interesting, nerdy and a bit of education in too.
The show still exists
@@bigjordognew episodes new castm and crew?
I am rewatching these and realize that it wasn’t really educational, it was not encouraging people to try new things - it was just pure entertainment, cut short enough to be fun to watch and a message “don’t do this at home!”.
@@aliancemd it's a bit educational.
@@aliancemd The show always talks about physics, chemistry, historical context, engineering, etc. The core of the TV show is to use the scientific method to check whether a myth is false, true or plausible.
How the hell is that not educational?
I love how Kari DID put some muscle definition on Grantbot's guns there :D
Also, Jamie saying the lead balloon was "the most bizarre thing we ever put together" while the plan for the steam machine gun (aka rotation slingshot of death) was still visible behind Adam's back when planning the cube is extremely funny. Like, oh yeah, the high pressure whirling death machine? That's a dime a dozen - just another day at M5..
It's really rare that Jamie praises Adam, but it feels so good :)
I love that Adams first thougth was to build a D20 ^^
I didn't click that it was a D20 until I looked up the shape out of curiosity and immediately thought "Oh, a D20. lol"
Adam said during a Tested episode that Jamie wasn't really into this myth until they got hold of lead foil thin enough and managed to have a prototype floating in the air. It's hard working on a project for which you see no future and it's not always because of a lack of interest. Sometimes all the available facts point towards it just not working out, so you don't want to invest any effort or passion. Props to anyone who is then willing to completely change their tune when it looks that the project may be worthwhile afterall.
13:24 "I wish I was that piece of tape right now" xD
I absolutely raised my hand xD
jamie contragulating adam for this design is just ❤
It was scripted.
Oh that led balloon was so fiddly, congratulations to everyone for their inhuman care, patients. But especially the ingenuity!
I must say how Mister Hyneman asks if the other person speaks English is close enough to german that everybody would understand
If The Hyneman asks, you answer, regardless of language...
@@LordStarbeard If I was on the phone and know who I was talking I would have fainted
He could have easily just spoken English. Eppstein im Taunus is a stones throw from Frankfurt am Main. Beautiful place and like most of Germany is full of the kind of Germans who begin a sentence with, "I do apologise about the awful state of my English" then proceed to speak better English than native speakers.
@@andrewince8824really? When i was in Neu Ulm 10-15 years ago i was surprised that so few people including young people didnt use english, luckily my poor highschool excusse for german came in handy.
@@grimmner Eppstein is a few km from Frankfurt and as such has a very high level of English due to the sheer amount of international business in the region. Going to the more remote areas and toward Eastern Germany you'll find fewer English speakers but in and around the big Western cities there's a long history of good English. My friends grandfather was born an raised in Mainz, speaks excellent English due to his work in the 60's. Lovely chap too, fantastic knowledge of local beers.
This has to be THE most complex construction of Adams in the series. Almost impossible. Wonderful execution indeed. Even Jamie was in awe, or as close as he could get.
47:30 That went down like a lead balloon!
18:05 the rowbot pun is way too funny
The lead foil used by Adam and Jamie is produced in Eppstein im Taunus (Epp-stine im T-ow-nuss, not Epp-steen). Beautiful little place in the Taunus mountains a short distance from Frankfurt am Main, even if one must unfortunately travel through Höchst to get there.
One of my favourite places in Deutschland with beautiful mountain hikes, stunning scenery and the best Italian restaurant perched up on a mountain right next to Kaisertempel.
The Germans know their stuff, that's for sure
Bless the Mythbusters always made learning exciting
The led balloon is just awesome.
RIP Grant 😢
11:05 made me smile
respect for jamie's "sprechen sie deutsch" it was very good for an american!!
Well it was "Sprechen Sie englisch" but it was alright. It was atleast very understandable.
they should have won an award for this, it was really incredible
45:56 Adam's lip is turning blue... how much helium he inhale in that episode?
I have to say the lead balloon was truly impressive.
My favorite tv show❤️
Same here !
´
All-time favorite ! 💜
Should have tested if RowboGrant could catch a regular wave before testing him on a TNT wave. Might have been catchable if he started closer and rowed faster. Big wave surfers use jetski towing to get enough speed
The blue lips and dizziness (at 45:53) means Adam might have been about suffocate with all that Helium😅
Lead balloon is a legendary story
Im so glad the led balloon is a success and i dont care about the destruction after the win. Greetings from Germany, whats the next, a led Zeppelin?:)
21:45 If only we were that lucky.
3:36 just say you build a D20 ...
great show
Have you lost your damn mind😂😂😂😂
For anyone that cares, the origin of heavy metal was Tony Iommi losing the tips of 2 fingers in a hydraulic press and making leather covered steel prosthesis' to be able to play guitar.
that's not the origin of it. nor were his false fingertips steel, according to any source I can find.
@@DaveDexterMusic `So what's the anwser? tell me more!
@@leontanghe183 The reason I've heard that makes most sense is because 'metal is heavier than rock'. Which even if itsnt true I choose to believe lol
TNT explodes about 4000 m / s, not 7000.
7000 is closer to "plastic" explosives (such as hexogene, "heksogeeni", or hexotol, "heksotoli", which are, as far as I was tought on par with "C4").
Still, TNT is awesome explosive, and certainly great for this myth.
Detonation velocity 6900 m/s
12:13 "german maker of lead foils called Epstein." 😂
I wonder if they are still named like that after certain "Pizza" debacle.
Improbable origami !
❤
Sprechen Sie Englisch?
This episode is owned by the german government.😂😂😂
R.I.P. Grant
RIP Grant
lololol
Was the lead foil made in an island????
Interesting fact= Adam and Jaimie lost 50 IQ points just to shoot this episode, resulting from lead poisoning.
and excessive helium intake
The video of the dynamite surfers is recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark and its a fake... this never happend...
Wish this had the UK voice over guy
I miss Grant :c RIP ❤
how do you upload all this is such low quality, why ? its barely watchable
Because it's literally the quality these were filmed in. This was a few years before HD TV was really a thing. All of this is perfectly watchable. Stop complaining about nothing.
this was the early 2000s be happy its not 240p like most things in those days xD
Karen.
fuck off and don't watch the free entertainment then you cheap cunt
HAHAHAHAHAHA 2000 kid
According to rock legend,it was Keith Moon, "The Loon", of the Who who suggested the name to Paige... If not who cares? Cos how often do you get to write "Who who" in a sentence?
