Love how all the camera men jumped.
4:50 The cameraman LOL
4:41 This is better than 99% of the jump scares I've seen in movies/games xD
lol at the cameramen
Yea I think he needs new underwear lol
Give him a small loan of a million underwears
+A SMALL LOAN OF A MILLION DOLLARS who wouldn't be scared i bet you will
+LolDude571 hahahaha
Reminds me of Back to the Future when Doc put the plutonium in the time machine.
I can't stop watching the cameraman's jump scare over and over again!
Who else would stare at a barrel for more than 20 minutes?
It's like watching grass grow lmfao
+Ashton Sparx And then suddenly implode...
...I'd watch that.
:P
For Science... Yes
I love seeing how excited and enthusiastic Adam is all the time! I'm going to miss Mythbusters.
Who’s all here from the submarine
I work for a small short line RR near chicago and have seen this happen to a tanker car we delivered to a industry. They hooked up the pump to draw out the liquid and forgot to open the vent at the top and left it running through the night. Next morning the tank car had imploded in on itself. No one got hurt and nothing else was damaged.
well sounds like the tanker was rather damaged.
It's really funny and just watching Adam and Jamie sitting there like a pair of grandmas waiting for a batch of cookies to be done.
This is basically how the some of the earliest heat engines operated. They boiled water in a cylinder with a piston, let the steam condense, and the atmospheric pressure would press against the near-vacuum in the cylinder to drive the piston.
You're describing Newcomen's engine, after the piston has been pushed outward by steam, cold water is injected into the cylinder to bring it back.
Interesting, now try to do it at the bottom of the ocean.
4:50 even the cameraman jumped 😂
The camera man flinched every time it crushed a little
"Don't try this at home"... I'm totally going to try this at home. Now where did I stick my tanker car?
Right...........
1:59 you can see they already performed the experiment on the small can. Just behind Adam.
I left a gallon container of paint stripper in my driveway last week. It was close to halfway full I imagine. I went out the next evening to use the stripper, and discovered the can (it was the exact same type as the can in the beginning of this vidro) had caved in on itself. I was shocked. If anything, I thought it would've expanded. It was in the low 90's during the day, probably in the 70's at night, and it was out of direct sunlight. It immidiadiately brought me back to this episode from years back.
Here because of the Titan disaster.
Also LOL at the camera people flinching
🤣
Can't wait to see hyperloop went hyper
That is how Titan imploded. About 8000 psi external sea water pressure and 14 psi inside pressure and temperature difference, composite material of sub couldn't resist the pressure difference. It should have been made by metal from Titanium or similar. Engineering and management catastrophe to lower the cost but charging $250k per person.
The missing titanic sub has me looking at imploding.
Watching the camera man jump was funny but then watching it from the other angle is hilarious .
One of the coolest proof of concepts
I'm having deja vu like mad here...
Came here because of the Titan sub disaster. RIP June 19, 2023 😞😞
i love how the camera crew startles when the big can imploded
This is great, but I wish they talked more about molecules moving that lead to the pressure difference.
Indeed, that was cool!
Other than awesome videos they make I also love the audio. Perfect throughout the show
2:13 I call this metalbending..
We watch this episode at school to learn about steam and pressure vessels for safety in the real world at work
Anyone who is ever done their own canning, or put the Tupperware lid over hot leftovers knows this
I love me some Ideal Gas Laws
The CEO and 4 passengers are totally dead
RIP titanic explorers
i Jumped. Holy crap that startled me, and I knew it was coming!
you could have somehow visualised the immensity of atmospheric pressure acting on the surface
Dont try this at home, yeah if i have a full sized train cart im my backyard...
+TheFrog2511 Lol. I have a huge train cart factory back at my yard . Sure i can make one according to the warning advice.
+Persistance Lydeccer Do it O_o
@@TheFrog2511 haha
I wanna do this... at home...
I did this experiment in year 7 science class .
THE UNIVERSE IS IMPLODING
FlamingArrowz0727 you mean if we heat the planet now, and then when humans are all dead the earth would cool down and collapse itself or the atmosphere?.?😂😂
That camera guy barely flinched!
"Do not try it at home"; Who da hell have a Train tanker at home backyard!?
Felipe Almeida you dont? Mine stand next to the post truck, the v2 missile and the bunker 😂😂
my heart beating out of my throat.....
Here because of the titan sub disaster
What can you do with an imploded tanker car? Is it legal to pull it on the railroads or do you have to cut it up on site?
The "steam condensing" has nothing to do with the collapse. The whole thing depends on the gases inside the can contracting. Atmospheric pressure does the crushing. It makes no difference how much the gases contract - the limiting factor is the difference between the pressure inside the can and the atmosperic pressure.
The gasses contracting is what causes there to be a difference in pressure
Darth Savage :D
Where is the test with the full scale tanker car?
this is actually pretty easy. A local trunking company carries liquids. One of the mechanics decided to borrow a tanker and truck and fill it full of water and trucked on out into the middle of nowhere to fill up a friends pool, (well water is not good for pools)
They tossed the big hoses into the pool and went inside to get something to drink. Less than 15 minutes later they heard a horrible crunching sound. The tanker had crumpled in the middle as if two giants had pushed it in like an accordion. Turns out he forgot to open the vents on the tanker. The weight and force of the water caused an enormous vacuum and the tanker buckled.
+Bis_Auf THEY HEARD A WHAT?! FINISH THE COMMENT!!!
Finish what comment? Mine is all there, maybe you should look harder and try clicking on the read more part. Caps don't help.
"'...and a clean pair of shorts"
This was fucking cool!!!
Yeah at the first pop, the cameraman jumped
Makes me giggle that the cameramans jumped
And this is why we never went to the moon
The secret word was magnets
Maybe it didn't work due to the high temperatures in California, maybe in a more moderate climate it would have imploded
CAMERA MAN 4:50
4:41
Waiting half an hour vs spraying it with cold water for 10 seconds. And they choose this... I just feel sorry for the editor who had to handle a terabyte scale raw footage :D
Krisztián Szirtes the myth did not say that the tanker was sprayed with water. If they were going to find a tanker car to pump a vacuum inside, they wanted to be sure it would be worthwhile.
+Alec Whatshisname
The myth said exactly that, actually.
Eh, its kind of interesting to see how long it takes if you just wait and watch it happen naturally rather than forcing the deformation to begin, paid off in the end with that awesome shock moment
Cool guys look at implosions
he was using his stand
Anybody here for the Titanic sub ? Lol
Guy at 4:50 needs a change of pants.
My safety metal gas can did that one time
Many Sr Pelo deaths are logical now
4:50 hope your camera men didn't pee or shit in his pants 😀😂😁
2023 RIP Oceangate sub
Should have dumped it in cold water. cools it much faster.
Adam is illuminati confirmed
4:40 does anyone know the finishing to Adam's thought?
Casey Kline next time we're going to get magnets for the cameras so the guys don't have to stand there, I believe that's why he was in the middle of saying
Am watching imploding videos because titan sub 😮
ding WUB!
Phase change
I did this with an oil tank too but I cooled it down with cold water wich made it take less time
They are doing it to a full size tank car that is used on the railroad
+Jonn Hanlan In the myth, the tank car was steam cleaned, sealed and left. Then it started raining which allegedly is what caused an implosion.
+February yes ik but I didn't think the person whom made this comment was on the same page as us lol
+Jonn Hanlan true, it was only about the large can not the tanker car. I wasn't focussing on the myth.
This is what people should watch, but makes it confusing to understand how the Titan submarine would have debris and not just be a giant cube
Because the pressure is far more greater, and it is shattered after imploded
The sub have carbonfiber components so it's structure is nor as rigid as the things they used here as an example. Which means the whole sub shattered the moment it starts to implode.
Carbon fiber shatters, it doesn't buckle and bend like metal does. All it took for the Titan to implode was a fracture in the hull and... gone. The force of the pressure ripped it into pieces.
So if you threw the hot casing outside into say, snow, it would happen much quicker
Or for that matter simply aim a fan at it. I think for the full-size test they sprayed it with a firehose to cool it off quicker.
So that's happening because the pressure outside if much greater than inside? Is it being crushed or is it imploding?
more like being crushed
+Rick Barnes both technically. Crushed usually pertains to an outside object is the cause. Imploding usually implies pressure. Just like exploding is the opposite, pressure from the inside erupting out.
+Farrethis this
+Rick Barnes Yes.
So, if the pressurized "ISS" is in "space" which is said to be a vacuum or close to a vacuum, what keeps the pressure differential from causing it to explode?... Anybody?...
Structural integrity
It's engineered to withstand that kind of pressure. Kind of like a submarine, but in reverse. A Submarine has to be designed to withstand the crushing pressure of the ocean, but a space craft has to be designed to hold in the atmospheric pressure of the environment inside keeping the passengers alive.
Why would they just sit there and wait, when they can just pour ice water over it afterwards to force it to happen quicker.
because that's not the myth
That would create an impulse in pressure.
next time put a pressure guage on the drum.
there is no more next time.
:'(
there is no more next time.

This is how many people are watching this for science class:

heeeeyyy i live in the town they filmed this in. super small town. population of 3,000 people
Lol. Who are you?
And thanks :)
+andrea lezama you are probably just a troll and I'm probably just feeding the troll here but this was recorded in San Francisco in California
actually no. our town gave out the news that they would be filming here. This town is called Boardman and it is in eastern Oregon
Snapchat me @ gohogs7
How would this even be considered a myth since it happened pretty commonly before they started putting one way vents on cars? It was especially common with tractor trailers. It doesn't even need the steam if there is a big enough overnight cool down.
Seen the aftermath on a much larger scale; 50,000 gallon vertical tank. Painters had "masked" a valve inlet with a loose cap, and forgot it afterward. Filled with milk, cap lifted to let pressure out, but when it was drained, the suction kept the cap pulled on tightly. Afterward, it looked like a beer can that had been crushed.
but thats only 1 atm or like 14 psi of outside pressure ._.
However the drum has a large square area for the pressure to work on
Anyone else here because they have a Project due
Tank cars have a vacuum relief valve that engages at -3 psi so this test is flawed.
They probably put a blind flange on the hole in the multi-housing . We just had a tank implode the other day. Someone had the BOV closed and only a check valve was left.
I seem to recall they actually mentioned plugging that. They wanted to test if it could plausibly happen under any sort of worst-case-scenario, where everything goes wrong. In the end they could only get it to collapse when it had previously been damaged by a concrete block falling on it, another thing they viewed as a hypothetically plausible thing to have happened to a tanker car. In the end it did collapse, and without reverting to anything that couldn't hypothetically happen in real life, so the myth was deemed plausible but very unlikely.
These two are just infinitely better than the new mythbuster Jackass people which I will not even watch cuz I'm just too loyal to Adam and Jamie.
How does this translates to Elon Musks hyperloop?
Literally I watched a video of Bill Nye (The Science Guy) doing something like this and he did it way better, try to find it if you can.
September 2020? Anybody
No such thing as negative pressure
Golden Duck wrong

yes you are
