I'm re-living my best childhood at 30. I completely forgot about Mythbusters until like 3 months ago, and now one episode every day 😄
Same 🤣
Weak. I eat Mythbusters more than 5x a day. 😂
Best part is: they don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test!
Same 🙏
Im 33 and im in a very similar boat... The boat is made out of duct tape.
Adam: "His head's come off."
Jaime: "Well that's not a good sign."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gonna need to take a sick day or something.
Head came off so cleanly Adam turned British
Well, I expected it to be worse with the two big "cops" next to him, as yes, they're providing padding, but they're also extremely heavy and when shoved together by the sideways acceleration of the car would act like a hydraulic (literally) press over the little blue dude.
That truck impact was absolute SAVAGERY! My word...
Tori's fuel consumption was impressive. I can see why people get already economical vehicles and try and improve it still. It would have been even more interesting to see if they could increase the mileage by adding a lightweight version of the golf ball dimples that Adam and Jamie did with the car in the past. That was so cool!
Thank you for again putting which episode/season it is :)
If you have just air between you and the impact point, then that impacting force has to compress or move whatever is in front of you before it gets to you. Putting padding in between can actually do more harm than good. Even when it's actual padding and not... water. For the same reason, construction/military helmets are suspended in the air around your head, instead of being filled up with a crap ton of padding. What those cop analogs did was removing the effect of the crumpling zone.
3:28 LOL "Adam's got wood"... I guess he was really exited about his truck stand-in... hehehe Gotta love the narration on this show!
There is something satisfying about having the word "Science" painted on the front of that truck 🤣
Love watching these after work:D
i love how when you watch the slow-mo of the crash the head light closest to the truck only moves like half a meter before hitting the ground the the car has gone about 10m in the same time
That closer slow-mo made me laugh when the car got out of the picture before the head light even touched the ground 😂

A station wagon has far, far more capacity than a SUV. Even medium cars usually have more capacity than an SUV despite being smaller in dimensions cause so much of the space of the SUV is eaten up by styling, awkward angles and overly large suspension. A station wagon is a completely open box on wheels.
Though my parents also haul stuff pretty often and they just have a slightly above average car with a towing hook.
he was talking about a pickup
I love the DIFFERENCE in how Adam and Jamie make the guys. *lol*
Man, love that Mythbusters is back!
I think given the efficiency gains demonstrated during the hypermiling segment, it shouldn't have been "busted." It should've been "plausible" because it's possible they didn't min-max everything and maybe you get more efficiency gains with different types of cars so given some improvements, it could be possible to get doubled fuel efficiency.
damnit Jamy... don't tease us with shrunken heads and than never come back to it...
34:54 "I _bet_ you do!" 😅
Never watched this episode before...just great 😊
using an automatic for MPG myth testing is sacrilege.
Will its one less variable to consider
They just have a human skeleton in a bodysuit huh 😂
They started using the Syndavers gradually, usually where they needed accurate injury simulation, rather than just knocking out another ballistics gel dummy with simulated innards. But they didn't use them often - I'm guessing because they cost more than an arm and a leg...
19:38 The truck didn't like the impact either, it spat out a visible black cloud on impact, but not before or after.
Strategic mistake on Young Adam's part: a station wagon is a GREAT addition to moving day even if it won't fit huge items. It holds plenty of cargo and you don't have to worry about tarping stuff or putting on a canopy if it rains. Invaluable for book transportation in wet weather! Source: am a guy who likes helping his friends move :)
luckily the start stop systems do it automatically these days .
Rip that Volvo wagon, it was nice.
30:05 😂😂😂
did this episode gave the idea for auto makers to include the auto start-stop system in cars? we will never know🤣
the first thing to do to save Petrol (which is a liquid not a gas) is to not change speed, then don't brake going down hill (but make sure it is in gear as you have more control over you speed while it is in gear, and you use less fuel while engine braking than when Idling (you can test that on a computer controlled fuel injected car and prove it to be correct) and only maintain your speed going up hill, no acceleration, don't brake for corners, let the engine slow you down, and then there is power required to push the car through the air, the calculation is squared... so if you go twice the speed the wind resistance is quadrupled (If it takes 80hp to hold 160kph but only 20hp to do 80kph you can use 1/4 the fuel to get there in twice the time, but still get there safely!) and you could probably test that too with the fuel usage in both!
Ok windows up and AC on... Incorrect... you need to test that on a modern car, with a small engine. like 1300cc... and you will find that the amount of power the AC draws from the engine exceeds the extra wind resistance... in fact the amount of power that the AC draws is enough to increase the 0 to 100kph time by almost a second, and the windows being down makes a mere 0.1 second difference
and turning the engine off? well that depends on how long for, as it takes alot more fuel to start the engine that it does to run it for a few seconds
so the lateral acceleration may be slowed by the big person on the impact side, but your going to get squashed by the other big person who isn't going to accelerate as fast... big people are not the inside of a helmet!
I was always jealous when I saw other cars turn off at red lights, before I got the Toyota Corolla Touring hybrid two years ago. It charges the battery going downhill or while braking, it uses the battery when it can, it turns off when standing still. This has a 1.8l engine and gives me a lifetime mpg of ~57 MPG (UK) (town, motorways, whatever).
We did drive to Germany twice and driving the car at 90 mph or more is way less fuel efficient. The 60-70 mph in the UK on motorways are optimal mpg, pure town stop and go is also not most efficient.
With a 43l tank it can go way over 750km range (I get the warning lights at ~750km).
Today it would be called fuel maxxing 😂
Did they just destroy a volvo 245? They are worth a fortune now. But this was probably filmed a long time ago
This was filmed around 2009-2010
It might not have been working, as far as I see they doesn't seem to drive it.
The Volvo 245 can be a valuable car yes. And in the cartoon, it looks like it's a Norwegian police car colors and plates. And it appears to be a Volvo 245 and the front of a 145?
Filmed in 2012, because they used a brand new (2012)sedan car in the MPG test together with somewhat older cars.
Currently last
I’m shocked how good the picture is for how old the show is. Show how far technology has (not) come.

Hello from Bosnia and Hercegovina.... mitbusters my cilehud
".. nothing rhymes with 'orange'" Erm ... 'sporange'?
Good one, but hardly anyone knows that word. Some other fun words that only have really esoteric rhymes are "purple", "celery", "anchovy", and "cabbage". For some, you have to resort to proper names, which seems like cheating. I don't think "garbage" has any actual, two-syllable rhyme.

The problem with driving slower on the freeway to save fuel is that you will eventually get rear-ended by some idiot and all the money you saved in fuel will just go into repairing or replacing your car.

Pro tip #1: don't drive an automobile. Makes you look like an unwanted, unintended sissi who took multiple wrong turns in life - having to drive in an automobile, wasting everyone's money, health and well-being while wasting their own money, health and well-being 😂 everybody loses! it's great! build more roads! build more parking spaces! asphaltize the whole surface of the earth 😂😂 remember: it's good for you!!
Tory: "You hate science?"
Well Tory, unfortunately science has taken a bit of a PR hit over the last few years... And speaking from the future, believe it or not, a lot of people have trouble trusting science at the moment. It's a real shame too, because it's not like everyone's mistrust is completely unfounded. But either way, the consequences are yet to fully unfold.
Such people don't hate science; they hate BS foisted on them as "science".
well not new is it? driving faster does consume more fuel but less time... my comfort speed is ~80-90mph and my cheap car does over 29miles per galon - thats not hypermiling - sure your gasoline pipes are not broken on that car? if i just drive highway with ~70mp/h i get up to 36miles per galon.
And well you don't need to drive turns with 30mph to not break - just let the car roll out and slightly break - so if you need to stop slow by friction and stop step on gas until you need to break. Thats more save.
Driving overly slow on the freeway impeding the flow of traffic is incredibly dangerous and selfish. To those people I can guarantee that by not driving you save even more and you won't kill anyone else.
lul this one is more dead than the other one...
31:53 There's a mountain in Wales called "Blorenge."
