I don't know if this makes Braking Bad older than I thought or the Mythbusters younger than I thought, but in my head, these shows are like 8years apart
I think breaking bad aired in 2008
Was the last really good show
@@dlfrestorationyou could try the expanse i love this one
@@dlfrestoration if you think breaking bad was last good show since 08 you need to stop waiting to be spoonfed content. There are SO MANY fantastic series and movies. Breaking bad was without a doubt one of the best series ever made, but its not the first, last or best imho, it just reminded people what a good story CAN be.
@@Kub_ everything since has been woke rubbish sadly
For those of you who want to know what the secret sauce was, it's Hydrogen Peroxide and with sulfuric acid it forms "Piranha solution". At 18:27 on the left jug they didn't censor the "Hydrogen Peroxide" written on there.
I saw that too
Jamie literally revealed it to the smart at 46:50 🤣
@@IanSelvaraj Lots of hydrogen and oxygen could also be just water and nonetheless it was just a little thing I noticed and thought was a tad funny.
Piranha solution is a well known dissolving agent anyway
I’m disappointed they didn’t test the production of crystal meth, and the actual quality of the result 😁🤷🏼♂️
I‘m sure they did before the actual myths that made it in the episode
Well, because it's a federal offense mainly 😂 Pretty sure it's one of those things that even pharmaceutical companies aren't even allowed to make
@@spran369 methamphetamin?
Pharmaceutical companies do make methamphetamin as medicition
As example for ADHD and narcolepsy, even for children
The last years it‘s used more often again legally
No no you missed something 🫢 The actual myth is if blue meth is an indicator of pureness! spoiler: it’s not … meth is natural white so you would make it blue by adding impurities 🫨 Myth : BUSTED💥
@@spran369pharmaceutical companies are allowed to produce it and they do
It‘s a used medication for ADHD as example, even for kids
The "secret acid" is Piranha Solution btw -
It's made with 3 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid and 1 part of 30% hydrogen peroxide solution, same ratio used in this episode.
It's so dangerous that just mixing it too quickly can cause it to boil and even explode
Yup, peroxymonosulfuric acid
yeah, when they said "the solution is a lot of hydrogen and oxygen" i figure it out it's hydrogen peroxide.
thanks , now i can dispose corpse .
there was an episode of csi vegas where the killer died because they mixed piranha solution to fast
That's what I figured out as well from "lots of Hydrogen and Oxygen". Deduced rather. Not really that many ways these 2 can bond in order to satisfy "the Ultimate Theatrical Effect" requirement the duo has consistently made their trademark...
Methbusters
All these years and that pun never occured to me 😐
Yes. Quite.
More like Methbursters!
Thank you
48:31 Just realised that the names in the end credits all got the Periodic Table treatment. Nice little detail for the Breaking Bad Special.
at 9:53 they also did the "sped-up landscape" shot, just like in breaking bad
Vince retconning the show on another show is highly amusing.
Large crystals would be much more impact sensitive...
said its almost impossibe to make it to clear crystals
It would definitely be more likely to explode. 50g of it would not blow up a building though, and it would not leave people inside alive if it did. The crystals would also look nothing like they did in the show - you just can't make crystals of mercury fulminate that size (you'd get a few millimetres at best) and it's the wrong colour (closer to that powder's colour).
RIP Grant, this show was a huge part of my childhood. It was an awesome way to learn cool thing's growing up.
Dam didn’t know he died
They should have scratched the bottom of tub (like a old used bathtube) , so the acid could corrode it .amazing reaction anyway
"why? well here's Adam on acid" cought me so off guard💀💀13:39
HF is actually a weak acid by definition and not as corrosive as strong acids such as Hydrochloric (HCl), however, corrosivity is the least hazardous aspect of HF. The toxicity of HF is the main concern. HF is absorbed through the skin quickly and is a severe systemic toxin.
Many years ago I worked in a lab that used HF in their research and it was kept in plastic because it corroded glass and its toxic properties were what made us respect the horrid stuff.
25:47 "The Throwbot is ready to throw..." Yeah... Not with the axle bent hell out of shape! That's a 5 degree bend right there! 😄
At 17:15 into the video, the liquid in those bottles did not look like pure sulfuric acid. Concentrated sulfuric acid is very viscous. The thick (oil like) consistency is what gave sulfuric acid its other name, "oil of vitriol." Look it up.
If they used pure sulfuric acid, the pig flesh would almost instantly turn into black carbon, because the acid rips out water from the compounds in the flesh, thus leaving mainly carbon. You would also need a whole lot more acid to dissolve that much pork.
sulfuric acid can also be super saturated to something like 18 mol ..
@@bobthe7778 18 mol/L is concentraded not super saturated. It is the same as 96%
You can get 99.9% but it offgasses a lot. It is also less corrosive as the water helps the reactions take place.
One of my favorites Mythbusters episode, so glad you guys uploaded it
Christalizing the mercury would make a difference to be honest.. A powder does work but it doesn't recreate the same reaction.
Yep, I too think, some big crystals would make a more rapid explosion than some powder. And would cause a bigger boom.
making crystals that size is impossible.
I love how Walt's head looks more like Tobias from Arrested development XD
46:30 What pig?
Love this moment
That "maybe they should build us a writing robot" quote does not seem to be aging that well
Key to the fulminated mercury and other similar substances being too impact reactive is "screwing up" the process to create crystals (just don't, ever), not fine powder. They made it too perfectly.
Having been a mineral and metallurgical assayer in my past life, I worked with various chemicals, however the one that needed total attention whilst handling is Hydrofluoric Acid used digest quartz, silicates and silicon metal (metalloid) and heated in special high temperature resistant teflon beakers. HF is the one acid that can be very fatal if handled without strict training and the use of proper PPE.
As for the special sauce used with the Sulphuric (Sulfuric) H2SO4 acid bath, and if I heard correctly towards the end of the video the sauce is made up of H202 Hydrogen Peroxide which definitely got the violent super heated reaction going.
24:30 Missed opportunity to fill his suit with air. Aaron would have enjoyed that sooo much.
funfact : old Chemist in germany tried out to reproduze the cristal meth out of breaking bad , was successful, but got noticed by the police.
he got released after it was confirmed that he had no intention of selling it
is it me or did they add a little something something with the mercury fulminate at 40:39 you can clearly see the bags of MF on the right and a cylinder on the left not just a squib
where in my life did i miss the old team of mythbusters is back?
This is EPIC🔥
Myth Busters were all about breaking bad myths and proving good myths. :P
When you make an assumption, you make an ASS out of U and MPTION😂
I love Mythbusters❤
This show's narrator doesn't get enough credit, very nostalgic.
'Fun' Fact: in Afghanistan ISIS mostly closed down all opium production and switched to growing ephedra. Ephedra is a plant that is used to make crystal meth which is mostly sold ion eastern Europe. The EMCDDA has a great report about this.
The "special sauce" might be hydrogen peroxide. With sulfuric acid, it forms piranha solution which can dissolve organic materials to water and carbon dioxide.
Maybe.. a mild cheese
When he was going over the periodic table stuff, I remembered why I failed science 10 twice
Love this hahaha
Sulpheric acid + hydrogen peroxide, in case anyone was wondering
Should be called Methbusters for this special
Dang no mention of the perfect coffee device!
my sister still owns some of the candy from the stoe they used to make the Crystal Meth in the show, such a cool prop.
hydrocloric acid.. use piranha solution!!
They shouldve tested the electro magnet in the truck
They did that in an episode of the kids version of mythbusters. It's on UA-cam. I think it had "can magnets wipe data" or something to that effect in the title.
"Inside the tub was sulfuric acid and our special sauce, which, let's just say is lots og hydrogen and oxygen."
...
Lots og hydrogen and oxygen... They really kept that secret sauce very secret xD
The world was a better place when Breaking Bad was still running (probably not but atleast i had shit to distract myself)
I thought it is Breaking Bath. They are wasting a hell of a lot of time on some faulty bath and a ceiling. In reality that piece of bath would simply get stuck in the metal grid of such a ceiling. It is all as fake as you can get it. Why did people stay home for this? For real?
I've never recovered from Breaking Bad. It ruined tv for me because there was nothing else to watch, besides Vikings...and that turned to shit after Ragnar died imo. GOT was traumatic as well as the last few seasons sucked monkey balls too lol
Das Quecksilberfulminat wäre beim werfen explodiert, wenn es große Kristalle gewesen wären anstatt Pulver!
es wird als Pulver hergestellt, weil große Kristalle viel zu empfindlich auf Schlag oder Reibung reagieren!
In the pétri dishes the HF Acid would have kept eating if there was more than 100ml. It doesn’t just keep on eating, as the energy is spent at a certain point. 1 litre in each would have had more serious results.
I waited patiently for 15 minutes and you're still not gonna tell me how to melt this body in acid?? Jamie you tease
The scripting and over the top bad acting will never get old XD
Nice
But but why Heisenberg is buying first 😂
Rest In Peace Grant ❤
We miss you Grant Imahara😢
i would have liked to see what thatbathtub with satanic sludge would have looked like after 8 hours staying like that
There's no half measures but the show is full of half measures.
It's good to see Grant again.. #RIP
You missed a trick with Q ball not being hiesenburg
They disappointed me. When I saw the episode, I knew the reaction. These guys failed to reproduce the actual conditions. They set a tub on a wooden floor. They didn't make a point of it, but they had to seal the drain with something, The drain fitting is typically chrome plated brass. In either HF of "Super Sauce" the brass would have gone quickly. The acid+ would have leaked out of tub in the space formerly occupied by the drain fixture. The cellulose fibre in the wood would have resisted a bit.
The floor would have busted through and the fully intact tub with mostlly intact body would have dropped.The Mercury Fulminate needed to be recrystallized, using a solvent mixture and a dark place to sit undisturbed.takes time to grow large crystals.
They must have a good production budget. They don't skimp on things.
He didnt use the Mercury F to knock them out and escape. I guess he didnt see the show.
I fucking love this show, since I was a kid I couldn't believe how awesome and inteligent it was
At the beginning, the chemist calls the acid he added "hydrochloric acid", not "hydrofluoric acid". They sound the same, but they're not.
Yes I thought that was odd they didn't reshoot that scene with corrections...or was it hydrochloric acid?? 🤔😎💚💙💜🛀
Ya I thought the same, did they actually fuck up and use the wrong acid maybe? Because as you said, they are not even close to being the same sort of acid.
HCL is a stronger acid than HF.
You didn’t crystallize it
I think they did it wrong with the explosives do to the impact of the powder together instead of a crystal impacting. The colliding of the crystal may make the explosion work without the shock rocks. But I don't think the crystal should explode with as much power do to the same thing that happens with gun powder (fine = fast bang) (course = slow bang)
They should of made crystalized mercury fulmanite
I don't know this is just a theory and I'm no chemist but with the whole explosion thing perhaps in the process of crystallizing it is condensed and Walt had accounted for that.
Their acid quest was different to mine
hydrogen peroxide will turbo charge any acid, so likely that is what he is adding to it. especially since his "special sauce" is 30% adds weight to that assumption as 30% concentration is common for reagent grade H2O2.
Special sauce is H2O2^^ then it forms piranha solution^^
40:57 Yeah science!🤣
Right at the start, I went back because I thought I'd accidentally gone forward 10 seconds
Most of drug cartel already know what acid to use to disposed those in a drum. 😂
Who else thinks Nitric acid is the 'secret sauce'? Producing aqua regia. Expected them to use flouroantimonic acid tho. Its classified as a superacid.
Wait when did this episode came out?
Superb TV show nonetheless
What year was this shot
Did Adam use galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood veneers when creating the bathroom?
was the tub in BB cast iron or was it fiber glass, think they should have tested both?
Obviously they should try perosolphuric acid
Aka piranha solution
wow I didn't realize Breaking Bad was on while MBs was on
R.I.P. Grant. I miss you
Also Grant: *has two data points*
him seconds later: "sometimes [...] it's a non-linear process"
(/s I love Mythbusters and everything around it. I know they had limitation due to it being a tv show. I just found it funny)
The special sauce is hydrogen peroxide btw. Am I on some kind of list now? The sort that makes life difficult at airports? 😜
I just realised that When Aaron is in suit with the respirator, the filter cartridges he's wearing are 3M 6006 cartridges, which are actually made to filter out, wait for it.... METHYLAMINE!
RIP Grant 😔
H2O2. Not in strong solution, like 8% or so. Stronger than most home, chemist buyable solutions but more than enough for this catalyst.
Any stronger by solution and it could have been quite dangerous to add, causing immediate bubbling and splashing from the rigorous mix to the h2so4 but explosive in nature. Too, they almost certainly started with cooled acid and catalyst as room temperature would have caused problems. Hotter than ambient would be orders of magnitude more dangerous and require breathing apparatus.
Anyone know what that special sauce used to ‘turbo charge’ the sulphuric acid? Asking for a friend that works for Boeing
H2O2
Everyone knows that the special souce is 30% hydrogen peroxide 😂🎉
Piranha solution ?
should have went the extra mile and turned it into crystal cause the hard surface on hard surface thing
There's an error in this! Jesse didn't drop out of High School, he actually graduated.
Would the HF have done a better job if a catalyst had been added?
What was on Jesse's t-shirt? He had it on inside out
13:50 What is interesting to me: Why is Iodine not pronounced io-deen like all other halogens?
I believe it's the American pronunciation
@@laughingoutloud5742 yeah i think thats correct. im aussie and have most of the time over here I've heard it pronounce eye-oh-dean and considering Australian pronunciation generally follows UK instead of US pronunciation that sounds about right. however it seems to be a bit more fluid then something like tomato so u sometimes hear it the other way
12:00 are you meant to be shaking it around like that ?
Yeah, yeah, you call him Breaking Bad guy but we all know he's the cowboy from Pile o' Bullets!
I found a bottle in my great grans shed wen i was a kid i poured it on the slabs and it burnt straight through the slabs into the mud gave all my mate nosebleeds i think it was called hydrochloric acid not sure but it bubbled jist like the blood from the aliens movies lol
That steel bathtub is not cast iron.
no way, how the fuck did I miss this episode?
is it Sulfuric acid + Nitric acid = turbo charged solution?
It is hydrogen peroxide. Nitric acid wold make yellow/orange smoke due to the formation of NOx gas.
Fluoroantimonic acid would do the trick.
of course they knew how to make it real, do you think Vince and production would air the formula on tv to all these criminals-to-be whose minds are twisted?
i think neeilred and codyslab are missing here!
yeah its 30% h202 and 98% h2so4
