      Not sure what you mean? The timestamp points to a part where he just says what they need to do for the myth. Shortly before that he talks about 'awesome power of duct tape', so I guess you refer to that?
      If yes, then this and that does not counter each other. People can very much hate something they consider amazingly useful. For example I acknowledge the great health benefits coming from garlic, but that doesn't stop me from despising it and being unable to eat anything if I actually can taste garlic in it.

    • @BaumisMagicalWorld

      Duct tape is amazingly strong, but a pain in the ass to work with. It's really sticky and basically impossible to come apart once you accidentally make it touch. So, I do get that sentiment.

    • @apawhite
      @apawhite Před měsícem +1

      Adam's talked about this before. Duck tape is a phenomenally versatile jack of all trades, but it's very much a master of none. Adam's happy to keep a roll of it around for emergency patch jobs etc., but as a maker it's ALWAYS inferior to using the right materials, and Adam would rather just use the right materials. (Also, despite the list at 11:20, gaffer's tape is a different thing, and FAR superior for many jobs.)

      Also, the ductape bridge has a design-flaw in as such that the handles are too low. It gives the walker the feeling of flipping over the handrail. Instead, they should have made them higher so that they are about navel-height.

    Here's something for chemists: Make these duck tape bondings permanent with some additional spray or liquid. With duck tape you can build almost anything, but it lasts only awhile with sticky bondings. If you can solidify these bondings, then these construction will last far longer.
    Start studying this. (You may even have a solution already...)

      The original is Duck tape. Adhesive stuck to duck canvas. Original uses were for quick waterproofing. The problem is "Duck Tape" is a trademarked name. When the imitations came out they had to rename the copies to avoid legal problems. Since it was commonly used for duct and vent repairs at that point and it souded close, the imitations called themselves "Duct Tape". Duck was the original. Duct is the generic copy.

    Jamie and Adam are great builders, but they fell asleep during physics classes in school. That breaking force you measured pulling down in the centre is a lot less than the pulling force along the tape. If you graphically construct the forces diagram, you know that the closer you are to horizontal the higher is the longitudinal component needed to compensate the orthogonal force. That’s why suspension bridges have a long bow of cables that describe a curve called catenary, from the Latin word for chain.

    From Alaska, source Aviation Humor. (some pretty interesting photos) A Piper Cub bush plane smelling of fish from a recent fly in got the attention of a grizzly bear who figured there was one hell of a feed of fish inside the Cub. The grizzly tore the plane apart including the tires. The pilot got a buddy to fly in tires, several rolls of cellophane and 3 cases of duct tape. He repaired the plane and flew it home. His insurance company had a look at the Cub and wrote it off. You do have to respect the pilot for a 'bush repair' that got him home.

      They ramped it up to 100 rolls and the car only slowed down a bit.
      If they used 500 rolls, maybe they could have stopped it. But that is 500x the amount of the original myth. Busted.
