How many of MacGyver's myths are actually possible?
Can you blow a hole in a wall with just 1mg of sodium, can a bamboo airplane fly and more...
Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals.

The fact that you used C4 to destroy the wall is just perfect.
What MacGyver couldn't do Jack O'Neill and his C4 could!
True
😂👏
How ever high you rate O'Neill with a double L, he'll still be underrated.
I want to know...like, how do you get that job? He just shows up, sets charges, and gets to detonate them? How do you get certified in that? I mean, I don't want to do the defusal, I'll do stuff for anyone for science, so long as its in a test field and we have a blast-proof barrier to watch from behind
Mythbusters should really come back. There's a ton of myths that they haven't actually done
I love how in the final part of the challenge, they came up with a solution that was significantly better than the planned solution. A potato cannon isn't really an efficient way of signalling for resuce...
We'll never know
The Moment you realize mythbusters invented escape rooms
Humans made 3 big mistakes this millennia
-the end of mythbusters
-the end of top gear
- no successors
Grand Tour
Well we had Top Gear: Grand Tour and they tried to reboot Mythbusters with a new crew but it just didn’t go anywhere.
You have a very valid point there though. 👍
Uploading full episodes is a huge win back
you forgot mcgyver
@@imarchello that had a reboot in 2016 tho. Never watched it so i dunno if it was good.
"Jamie is stirring the ammonia with his finger"
"well his hand is synthetic"
Nostalgia hits hard on this show... I miss those times
Maybe using sodium was done purposefully because it was a TV show and they didn’t want viewers destroying walls 🤣
Exactly.
The producers of MacGyver did just that. They purposefully used worse ingredients, or straight up omitted them in the final formula (so it would be incomplete) to prevent people from recreating the trick and probably injuring themself. Many tricks in MacGyver have a basis in science, but the results might be less impressive than it is on the show. Just like with the sodium in the water.
No shit.
when tv was tv and enjoyable mis these times
the amount of fun they had filming the chalenge always brings a smile to my face :V
It's awesome that we can watch these episodes here, thank you ❤. Mythbusters is still my favourite tv-show.
Adam and Tori have a great vibe together
I love how in this episode you get a glimpse of how well they work together. Tori was brought onto mythbusters from working with Adam at ILM
Watching it carefully you can see that it was airborne just the drop wasn't sudden enough to have enough space for the tale of the plane. It was clearly on the way to find its balance. They've made a mistake there.
Yeah, a more vertical cliff might have actually worked
Controlling the 'drop' of the cliff is even more impossible than building a whole damn plane out of bags and bamboo, so no it wasn't a mistake.
@@m2heavyindustries378 First of all, why would be? Second of all, yes made because it would be airborne otherwise.
I once MacGyvered my way through a door. I locked myself out on my birthday. I found a coat hanger, which I broke & jammed into the letter box to keep it open without obstructing the opening. I borrowed some magnets from 1 neighbour & some string from another neighbour & a neighbour's keys. I put their key in my lock to push my key out of the other side. Then I tied the string round the magnets & lowered them through the letterbox. The letterbox wasn't aligned with the lock the key fell from, so I had to swing the magnets to get them to go to the side. It was really tricky & took a while, but eventually I managed to fish my keys through the letter box. Not as scientific as MacGyver's solutions, but I managed to use what I had available & was quite pleased with myself. Never locked myself out again.
There was once a very good 'Mac Gyver' episode... 2 young gang members used violence to communicate.Mac Gyver had the best improvisation to end this argument....He simply called the teenagers' parents...brilliant.
Bamboo is surprisingly strong. It behaves very well under tension and handles compression fairly well provided the forces are distributed along the length. It's tougher than wood for the same mass due to a longitudinal laminate construction whereas wood is a bunch of fibres bound by Lignin. Bamboo is basically loads of tough grass leaves tightly wrapped around each other, way more structure in all directions.
In terms of structural behavior bamboo is more similar to steel than wood.
With the ultra light the wings still weren't air foil shaped. Wings aren't just assymetrical vertically but also horizontally with a blunt front and a tapered rear. It's a very complicated shape that took engineers a long time to figure out. Modern wings are even more complicated with a very subtle bulge on top and an even more subtle concave botttom with a super tapered rear.
That’s why bamboo is still used for scaffolding in China.
Pretty much all of what MacGyver does generally works and obeys the laws of physics... But sometimes they did exaggerate the effects for the sake of TV.
one does not simply mess with MacGyver!
I thought they got their wing aerodynamics upside-down, but it was me misremembering how it works. I thought the bottom surface would be the one that's more or less rounded, and the top face flat, pushing the air downards on the bottom side, while not obstructing it on the top side, thus generating pressure on the bottom. But it's rather low pressure generated on the up side, apparently. I'm glad I never had to improvise an ultralight to save my life and that of someone with a broken leg.
Thank you for uplpading these full episodes :)
For the film development part, they could have made a caffenol developer with coffee + orange juice (for the ascorbic acid) + washing soda. Then fix in ammonia.
Also it looked like kodak color film, but it can be cross processed in B&W chemistry (and get B&W negatives of course).
Edit: they actually had baking soda, which would have required heating it to get washing soda.
The compass thing works especially well if combined with some common sense. Cross reference the position of the sun with the needle, it'll determine which end is which if there are no markings to denote north.
They don't have a watch though so they don't know what time it is.
@@MrMarinus18 the only thing one requires to know is whether they are in the Northern or southern hemisphere. The sun will always south in the northern hemisphere, it may rise in the East and set in the west but it'll always be slightly offset to the south. It's all one needs to determine which end of a needle compass is north, kind of essential information.
If there's ever a Mythbusters-reunion, they really need to do a MacGruber episode.
Like their other challenges, they should have tried a stronger engine for the ultralight after the first failed try.
Third. Mythbusters+Macgyver=eternal love ❤️
Thanks for all knowledge, I had alot of use of it
the only reason why the wall didn't break was because they didn't hire a Chinese company to build a tofu dreg wall... The myth would have been confirmed if they had. (but then, of course, a regular house fly could poke a hole in such a wall when it flies at half speed...)
I like the mc gyver escape room. The blue kite is a awesome Idea.
The "New" MacGyver came on and I just let it play. He and a couple of other men were being flown somewhere in a helicopter when a Stinger-type missile was launched at them.
Absurdity 1: They *saw* it and that's how they knew.
Absurdity 2: Missile chases them at helicopter speed as the pilot hinks and jinks.
Absurdity 3: MacG takes everyone's gum packets (they all had some!) and proceeds to unwrap all the foil from each piece and rip it up. A Stinger goes 1300 mph but this one still has not caught up with them.
Absurdity 4: MacG flings the foil out the chopper door and it is not immediately scattered by the downdraft.
Absurdity 5: Missile is baffled by by a handful of gum wrappers and flies into a mountainside.
I figured I was done and found something else to watch.
Hey that sodium experiment is wrong...
1) the capsule dissolves gradually. So the whole amount of Sodium is not exposed to water at once, making the reaction less explosive.
2) the bottle used originally is much bigger, thus the air pressure produced is much higher than this
I miss Grant...
same..... too soon
This thing exists for more than a century. It was invented, built and flought by THE REAL INVENTOR OF THE AIRPLANE, Santos Dumont. It is called Demoiselle.
I can see why stuff being shown/used in scenes in MacGyver does not work. No parent would want their 12-year-old boy running amok blowing stuff up because as a young boy once upon a time, I would def try these things
How dare they besmirch the good name of MacGyver ! Jack O'Neil would be devastated...
13:40 omfG you guys can you imagine even a year later trying to get the safety people to let you do that?!?!?!?!?!?! I was sweating watching it decades later. I mean _damn_
They really messed up the wings, glider should have been built better. Bamboo ultra-lights/hang gliders are actually semi common.
Wow, they even made the video 480p to mimic the TV archives quality!
wouldve been excellent if they mounted an engine they KNEW would have enough power and speed to get liftoff (and hopefully somewhat safely/recoverably land) and then afterward if their craft survived downgrade to the cement mixer motor
For the sodium to have a best chance of working, the reaction has to proceed as fast as possible. Therefore, removing the mineraloil with a solvent eg. petroleum ether and then melting it would have had a better chance. Although it seems, the water isn´t boiling in the macgyver clip, which would solidify the sodium again. However, 1g just seems to little for destroying a brick wall.
They should've had the "mortar" hard up against the wall, the way they did it there was plenty of room for the gasses to escape before applying their energy to the wall. That said, I'm not sure it would've made much of a difference to the end result. I would've liked if they continued with alkaline metals to replicate the results, thought my chemistry knowledge isn't that strong, I'm not sure if they would encounter the same limits as they found with popcorn or alka selztas under pressure (i.e a situation where the pressure limits the potential of the reaction)
Any chemists out there that are able to answer this question (I.e when under pressure, is there a "ceiling limit" to the reaction, or would more stuff indeed mean more push?)
On the topic of replicating the results, I imagine it would be possible to construct at least a (somewhat) working ultralight framework from bamboo, duct tape and garbage bags, the motor probably wouldn't work, simply not designed for the job, too low on power and too high on weight...
that plane was about to get some airtime but the drop was to short, the tail hit the dirt as the front was lifting!!!!!!!!! Need a new test!
For the potassium and water to brick the wall if you make the “mortar” smaller and the exit hole smaller the pressure probably make the wall break
Why does Jamie look so much taller than Adam in the beginning of this? Adam is actually the taller person irl.
Coolest job in the world!!
The link to your channel under the title of the video is wrong. You should tell YT. Thanks for the episodes
macgyvers wings where not that bulky/thick or looked that heavy and looked much better tbh, not that it matters that much.
I came here like a wrecking ball
they predicted breaking bad
Potassium nitrate is awesome
"Let's use sodium"
"Let's use potassium"
Me: USE CESIUM it'll be way better and still scientific, it's the next heaviest element that reacts even more violently with water.
From the looks of the clip with the microlight the guy built of bits and bobs if you look at the engine you'll see there's actually a pulley is actually attached to some sort of pulley with a belt down to a smaller Pulley which I believe is what's attached to the engine output shaft🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Caesium
Are the vids still proccessing to be available in hd or will they neber be in HD?
Unfortunately they were not originally filmed in hd
OK, considering my weight, I am no longer overweight, I am ULTRA LIGHT
20:20 Jamie looks demented in that moment.
MacGyver was just much better. Myth busted
I understand the metals did not break the wall, what would happen if you used a metal thats lower on the periodic table like Cesium or Francium?
why is not 720p or 1080i ?
just bc they cant do something doesnt mean that MacGyver cant do it
That’s Adam’s normal EDC
Is that Reese from Malcolm in the middle?
should've used Caesium.
Try francium 😳
Deberian poner el audio en español también, hay una generación entera de niños queriendo volver a ver los episodios
There is no way to work if you have to big pipe and big gap from pipe to wall. Funney to expect that will do work in that conditions. Power si bigger if is there is less space where reaction is.
Pretty sure I saw a Brainiac episode where they tested this sodium in water thing with more exotic alkali metals, one of which turned a bathtub into a MUSHROOMCLOUD
Rip grant
The Bamboo plane myth was so poorly executed even a 6 yr old could have forseen exactly what was gonna happen.
You obv didnt have enough momentum to lift so u need to have a steep enough cliff to where u can glide instead, they used a quarry that is built in sections so they didnt have enough height nor was the "cliff" steep enough to avoid them smashing into the ledge below.
Mythbusters 15mins of TV spread over an hour
Are you uploading these from old DVD rips since the image quality is so bad?
The originals were filmed on digital, not analogue, equipment of the era, at tv broadcast quality. It was also a tightly budgeted show, and thus was not filmed in HD or using top tier cameras, unlike some of the other digital shows that *were* filmed in hd.
Likely it was stored on the big VHS style media cartriges used for archival even then, though it's in the time period where a lot of studios had or were switching to other digital formats besides tape so I may be incorrect.
Media from the 90s into the 00's, especially music videos, are good examples to compare.
Unlike analogue film, you can't squeeze more quality out of digital film that was already there without literally making guesses as to what the missing detail is, which some machine learning is decent at, but upscaling still tends to introduce artefacts.
It looks as I expected it to look.
Pretty much 0 of the MacGyver stuff will work in real life lol ;)
Herzfehler fehler ja ich bin waffen
none of this is busted..you aren't MacGyver are ya?
Huh? Video made 2 months ago. Mythbusters the TV show is over. I click the channel... Channel not found? What? But the video is here? Huh...
Goddammit though.. we lost Grant wayyy too soon..
Second 😂
First
who gives
This show got so much wrong!
do it better then
@@mho... no need. "Vasa cannon firing" , it's been done.
But it was still fun.
@@a_921 Not so much when something you have a passion for is essentially ridiculed and the half-assed results presented as fact.
That's old. Try doing something new.
