    Thanks for watching super nerds! And thanks for sticking around for this whole series. If you liked it, let us know! *Just quickly addressing* what will surely be the biggest complaint: we didn't pull the chain because it really has little to do with that. If the chain can't burn material out of the way, you aren't going to be "cutting," you are just going to pull a body. That's why we wanted to test the burning more than the pulling. Also, the chain was heated consistently and thoroughly in a makeshift kiln off-camera. ALSO used a chain that looked closest to the game. FURTHERMORE in the temp regime we are in, superhuman pull force will only be testing pulling a chain through a person, and it’s obviously the heat that’s doing the work here. - kH

      You didn't make the chain yellow hot and that was probably for a good reason. What was it?

    • @SkyeRequiem001
      @SkyeRequiem001 5 років тому +185

      You definitely weren't anywhere near the upper range of the available temperatures, given that your chain was dull red, and much much colder than the clip you show which was more of a yellow hot (~1500 K). The only conclusion that you can draw is that at low temperatures you need something more flammable than a human for it to work, but not that the chain shown in the clip couldn't. I understand why you didn't go that hot, a chain is a large object and would radiate a lot of heat very fast, plus you'd need something more like a linear furnace or induction furnace to heat it rather than a torch, so safety and equipment issues.

      Another thing is that Scorpion's chain is always (magically of course) heated evenly and stays that way throughout the move. It most likely regains the heat energy it passes on to the victim pretty much immedeatly, which means that it'd be able to melt things much faster and way more effectively. As said however, that would involve magic.

      1. Doesn't pierce the body first with an edge attached to the end of the chain.
      2. Doesn't maintain the temperature of the chain.
      3. Lets part of the chain cool down to the point that it even stops glowing before they even put it on...
      4. It STILL starts to burn fiercely around the hottest areas.
      And lastly, Scorpions chain was clearly red/white hot. Red glow to the sides, white in the middle.
      The 2nd point is however clearly the main issue. He clearly maintains the heat of the chain, and as we know: Iron transfers heat rather rapidly, so maintaining the heat of that chain would cause it to quickly transfer enormous amounts of heats, scorching the body way, way faster than the temperature of the chain would suggest.

      @KyleCorbeau 5 років тому +5

      There are _many_ things about their experiment that sort of fell short of an actual conclusion. The temperature of the chain, the uniformity of heat distribution on the chain, the material used in place of flesh (and the entire human rig for that matter), the amount of force applied to the heated chain, and application of that force (as the clip they showed was more of a cinching motion which is _FAR_ better at cutting through things than trying to push straight through it) were all factors they failed to address properly. That had the idea right on paper, but failed to address the nitty gritty aspects of reality that would make or break whether it's actually possible or not. It is _entirely_ feasible that under a properly done experiment this is an entirely possible action, but the lack of a proper rig just makes this a weird thought experiment instead.
      There's a reason your silicon oven pans and mitts don't suddenly fall apart in the oven...just because silicon _burns_ similarly to flesh doesn't mean it distributes heat the same way ESPECIALLY when you consider flesh is only a _very_ small portion of the body the chain would have to get through, yet this rig had it going through nothing but flesh allegory.

    Your test had 3 problems though.
    1) Scorpion doesn't only use the heat, he's pulling on the chain adding a great deal of force to it. And as your previous video proved scorpion is significantly stronger than the average person.
    2) You only had the chain on 1 side of the dummy. In the fatality Scorpion wraps the chain around you on both sides of your body at once, kind of like scissors going through cardboard. Since the damage is double sided it's effectiveness is much greater.
    3) Your chain was red hot while Scorpions is clearly yellow hot.
    While your video itself was fun and entertaining, your data was unfortunately inaccurate.

That kind of heat could have done significantly more damage, especially if there were force applied to increase the level of contact and move the chain through the testing material. Even still, though, it wouldn't have been a very accurate test as they were only trying to get through a flesh stand-in. Bones are much more dense and would not 'melt' as easily as flesh.

    Why you didn't force the chain through his body? I'm pretty sure that that would do the trick.
    Update :
    Take a needle and raise the temperature until it hit the limit (it can be any other metal object, with or without a sharp surface). Then just put it in a upside down plastic cup and see how many holes you can do by the force of gravity. Now, repeat the process, but apply force to it and tell me how many holes you'll be able to make... Don't tell me that if you pull the chain it doesn't have anything to do with it. Pardon me, but that's a HUGE mistake. Also the chain is around the subject, reducing the trace that it needs to take through the body.

    I'm sorry, Because Science.
    I have to agree with I Did A Thing.
    You've probably had a thousand and one comments about it already, and I understand your focus is on the heat aspect - but your focus on one particular aspect is absolutely not scientific.
    When packing snow into snowballs, the imparted force applies heat - which you may see as negligible in this test - as well as pressure.
    You saw damage from the heat.
    You saw obvious burns and an entire small trench made from the chain.
    And instead of stopping and saying, "huh, I wonder why this didn't sink any further in. We should try to remedy that," you decided it was best to simply fake it, and make a scientific call off of almost no data.
    One test, no trend built, no alterations to the original test (heat of chain, whether or not pressure makes a difference, anything involving the chain), and immediate assumption thereafter.
    Because SCIENCE. You have officially flopped on your own namesake.
    My suggestion?
    If you're gonna make this little effort to actually be scientific about the circumstance, at least end it how the mythbusters would:
    1. C4, or
    2. Thermite.

    The conclusion is definitely flawed here, given that the chain was MUCH cooler than the white hot you show in the game footage. You used an acetylene torch to heat the chain, which while effective at limited areas, failed to bring the entire chain to temperature over a consistent percentage of the length.
    Properly, this test should have had the chain in an oven, first to make the heating equal over the entire length, and second to bring the temperature up MUCH higher and hold it there more consistently.

    Correction of the entire experiment and its results. Please read.
    Hello Kyle,
    I have found the results of your latest Mortal Kombat video problematic in its findings. The issues that I have with your experiment revolves primarily around the chains and the test subject. I'll start with the chains and the method in which you chose to prepare them for the experiment. An acetylene torch may be a great way to heat a localized or small steel object, but for a chain it is very inefficient and ineffective. Within the promotional trailers for Scorpions Chain Fatality, it is shown to be a yellowish white. The temperature at these colors ranges from 982 - 1315 degrees Celsius (1800 - 2400 degrees Fahrenheit). From the speckled coloration of scarlet to bright scarlet, you at the most reached 760 - 871 degrees Celsius (1400 - 1600 degrees Fahrenheit). However, you only reached such temperatures on specific locations; nine chain links were cold in forging terms. The areas in which no coloration could be found were at least 640 degrees Celsius or below (1200 Fahrenheit). In this experiment, you never reached the temperatures of that of Scorpions chain thus nullified any result you may have found. An acetylene torch was the incorrect method of heating such a chain. You should have placed its entirety into a medium to large sized propane forging furnace and waited till it reached a white/yellow hue before removal.
    Now as for your flesh analogs, they are both severely inadequate to test the resilience of flesh to such temperatures. The tissue is primarily comprised of fluid-filled cells the rupture in the presence of extreme heats. The fluids within converting into steam while the remaining bio-matter burning. Such bio-matter will vaporize between 750 - 1150 degrees Celsius (1382 - 2102 degrees Fahrenheit). Another discrepancy deals with the omission of bones, tendons, and cartilage. Bones, on the other hand, will fracture and begin disintegration at 1500 degrees Celsius (2732 degrees Fahrenheit). Instead of silicone or foam, animal tissue should have been used if this was to be an accurate test. There are two ways in which this could have been performed. The first would revolve around a lean and deceased pig, and the chain lay on either side of its torso. The result may have shown the metal eating away at the soft flesh while expelling steam and burning away the remains. However, the bones should have halted it fall unless enough heat was applied to fracture said structures. Another method is to systematically test the chain against raw pig organs, muscle tissue, tendons, cartilage, and bones individually to see how far the chains would eat their way through each analog. Despite such a thorough test, you must also inspect as to whether or not the amount of pressure applied to the chain effects the result.
    Either way, neither the chain or the analog were performed adequately in your experiment. At the most, you merely proved that an 871 centigrade chain could burn/melt silicone as well as a foam. You never answered the question as to if you can theoretically slice an individual in half with a heated chain. If you would like to dispute my claim or discuss it further. I would be more than happy to. If you would like to perform the experiment accurately, I can inform you as to how you can create a reasonably small forge furnace that would be adequate for the experiment.

    All of those analogs wouldn't respond properly, compared to pig/boar(as you stated), so even the ideal test, wasnt with in the testing parameters.
    And the velocity factory was negated in the testing, it would add additional force/pressure to the validity of the heat, being applied to the subject.

      I have to agree because there a lot of factors in the experiment that they didn't use in order to make the fatality more plausible and using a blow torch to heat up the chain will immediately lose all of the heat as soon a section has been heated up and transferred to the testing area. Not using a forge and pulling it afterwards made the experiment null and void.

    1: the chain wasn't nearly hot enough.
    2: You clearly are forgetting a major point of the fatality: the chain isn't just falling through the target on its own. Scorpion is *yanking it* through them. If you just let gravity do the work then yeah, it will not work. But if you pull it through, you'd actually get results.
    Other comments have said the same thing as me but with a lot more detail and knowledge on the subject matter, but that doesn't change the massive mistake you made with it.

And then scorpion uses his hell fire summoned strait from hell to heat it so it is way more hotter than we humans can make stuff. although i dont blame the people trying to test it but i dont like the fact that they are trying to say scorpion cant do his fatality because they think the only factor about scorpions fatality was a chain and a little bit of heat.

    Frankly, according to MKXI's fatality footage, Scorpion's chain does more of scissoring than of melting - otherwise the spearhead would melt the flesh and fall flat before the signature move was halfway done. I assume the proposal was: somehow 100% fix point (the tip), then superhuman pressure applied along the spinal cord towards the victim's solar plexus, including from up and down.

    1.) Scorpion’s chain is made out of hellfire and is significantly hotter as they glow much much brighter.
    2.) regardless of the first point steel can endure much hotter temperatures than you’ve shown, hell even a normal kitchen knife can take 1000+ degrees and has already cut through material similar to or more durable than human flesh.
    3.) Scorpion pulls the chain and so leaving it all up to gravity would obviously be an unfair comparison and would undoubtedly show far less efficiency
    4.) Scorpion wraps the chain around the opponent, he doesn’t just lay the chain down in one side
    5.) even if we were to say that indeed the chain would have difficulties going through human flesh and bone, I think it should be noted that this is a fatality. As in the deed is done after the opponent is significantly damaged with bone breaking and flesh tearing moves and since this is Scorpion chances are he’s already cut through some or even most of his opponent’s flesh with his katana blade, already burned the flesh significantly with his hellfire powers or both. And he’s most likely also broken most of his opponent’s bones.
    6.) also it’s pretty believable to get a chain that can withstand a much higher temp, Tungsten is a metal that can withstand heat up to 3422C which costs like 485 dollars in comparison a PS4 pro is 399 dollars and a dell XPS 15 costs 999.9 dollars.

    This whole series is very cool (on paper) and very well produced, but in every episode the "scientific" experiments are too far from being accurate, and the whole thing just loses its purpose.
    I can feel that most of the problem is probably because you're restricted by what you can actually do in a studio, and more importantly, it feels like you are forced to do one episode in one "day".
    I understand there are logistic issues, but sadly to the viewer everything feels rushed and superficial.
    You always start with a cool subject, a theory behind it, and a plan B. Sadly, at this point we already know the plan B means you already know plan A is going to fail. And even more sadly, you know plan A is going to fail because of lack of time/resources, not because what you were aiming for is ACTUALLY scientifically impossible.
    In the case of this specific episode, I guess you didn't use animal meat to avoid people screaming out about waste and animal abuse and whatever, and I understand it. But, as it has been pointed out by other commenters, having the same burning temperature as flesh doesn't meant it's a good substitute for an actual body.
    At the same time, for example, instead of making that slice of silicone as big as a person, you could have just used a shorter, square block. Certainly not anatomically "correct", but if the test is going to be flawed anyway, you should at least TRY to test something. Like, if with enough temperature, on a smaller area, it was possible to cut a block of silicone with an heated chain.
    But you chose to use the most "visually" correct thing you could do, neglecting way more important issues:
    -The chain wasn't hot enough AT ALL, in some segments not even red hot.
    -You didn't apply any pressure on it. This is like testing if a katana can cut an arm off just by laying the sword down on a piece of silicone.
    Again, while I understand there are some limitations to what you can do with your limited space, time, and youtube rules, it very sadly feels like you know the test is gonna fail anyway, and so you don't even try.

    If you just keep a knife on your palm, would it cut your palm by its weight? He'll no, you have to apply force. Scorpion has superhuman strength and he pulls the chain diagonally upwards , which means opponent's weight must be added too. He was also boosting himself up with hellfire. The force will be very very high.
    Surface area matters, the piece you took was just twice as thick as the chain, the difference is very low then the pressure would be less and it will face hard time in pushing material both ways. (ever cut a bread slice? It is harder than cutting a loaf) So entire torso must be made from that material.
    It might not cut entirely half but it will go deep enough to satisfy.

    Lots of comments here, so not gonna read thru them, but I find a few flaws in your testing, even as humorous as this was to watch.
    Obviously Scorpions chain is magical in nature so you can't replicate that (for now...)..
    But in the fatality, the chain is red/orange/yellow and at the downward pull you can see it's turned to almost a white in temperature. This highest you got was red/orange, so you're missing a few degrees there that can change the outcome.
    This is realistically hard to do with the materials you had at your disposal since a welding torch, even though it'll heat up the metal good, is only doing spot heating and still won't get up to the proper temp. Plus moving it to the dummy will cause it to cool a little.
    Then let's go on the pulling part. Force was used at the height of temperature. Something I wish you would of tried to create instead of just laying it down and letting gravity work.
    And last, but not least, the gel you used You put it thru the entire mid section and gave it some pretty good density. 12 inches if gel versus 1 inch of skin. After that, the insides will easily give way to that temp. The only factor would of been bone. Not really a accurate test.
    I know it's nitpicking as you are one heck of a scientist. If you had the resources, heating up the chain electrically and using a winch to pull it down would of been a better test. But that's pretty expensive and dangerous in a studio.
    Still I liked the video and have seen several of your other ones. :)

    • @BuckOrosco
      @BuckOrosco 5 років тому +1

      Something worth seeing. Bone is surprisingly soft to heat so the real only problem that is close to a problem is the hip bone which dose better but it is stronger. The chain is pulling tho with the heat which would take care of many problems on it's own, so the only problem is if Scorpion wants to do it, which he dose so it is Plausible.
      That and I'm sure he wants to get the job done.

    I disagree! Because you're not replicating the exact situation!
    Nice way to BBQ a person, though. Almost makes me hungry...
    First of all, a red hot chain would cool down if it gets in contact with something cooler. (Really fast if it gets in contact with your cool hair!) But I assume that Scorpion has the power to keep feeding energy into the chain and can increase the energy output once it gets in contact with human flesh. At that point, the extra energy would make the chain more hot as the body cools it back down.
    The second problem is that Scorpion is putting a force on the chain by pulling it, which adds more force to the body, but also makes the chain move a bit in a saw-like action. It's like cutting bread with a serrated knife. Much easier than with a smooth knife.
    So, the extra energy and the pulling force behind the chain makes it go faster through a body.
    But you forgot another thing...
    Yeah, I know... You're blonde... :-P
    You forgot that the human body is full with bones. And bones don't burn that easily, as anyone would know who has ever been cremated. (Or knows someone who has been cremated.) Your bones tend to survive the heat and although they might become more brittle when exposed to heat, they would still need some extra force to go through them.
    Which is why the red-hot chain is acting more than a saw than just cutting through heat alone. That sawing motion would help with the cutting action...
