I am the 1K like
Shellmet?
Anyone?
Smell-met
So glad science garage is back
Apparently not
What happened to it?
@@stay_uptown77 i guess bart had to take time off to be a dad. haven't really heard anything from Donut though
@@xxDOTH3DEWxx Bart said on ig that James fired him. such a bummer.
@@scarwound wait what?
I wanna see the difference between cheap eBay parts vs legit manufacturers parts lol
Effects SFM that would be a little expensive to do.
Check out Mighty Car mods, they debunk a bunch of ebay stuff
You'll never see that cuz ebay doesn't make parts.... You can get a garrett turbo on eBay and a Chinese knockoff. Know the difference.
@@nathanreimer1296 I know you cant be stupid enough to think we are stupid enough to think ebay makes parts. :D
@@thatonedude5237 You'd be surprised.
A donut a day keeps the rice away. Haha
Arnaldo Jansen Carino
lol
Rice rice baby
fuck donuts
everything from dunkin donuts tastes like absolute shit
SoKE DESTROYER lol wtf 😂
Title:
>100$ Helmet VS 400$ Helmet
Video:
>40$ Helmet VS 400$ Helmet
Mine was $50 and $150 for the title
@@Otto-ct6jw same here. Clickbait
Mr Reaper I know, ridiculous
Nick Cassetta I understand your point, but the problem is he isn’t getting the helmets that have the same price.
(As the ones that he told us at the title of the video)
Do an episode on NOS gas :D Also been missing this series! Where have you been Science Garage XD
Missed you too!
While drinking NOS energy drink.
I approve this
Wtf is NOS gas?? All I know of is Nitrous
NOS is "Never Outta SPEED"
HERES AN IDEA. A iron block VS an aluminum block. Explain how they both work and the pros an cons of them
American Will Iron is durable. Aluminium is lighter. Am i missing anything?
Kutay Arıcan i do know that. I was implying that they go deeper in the differences between them and how they have their pros and cons.
U know for the people that dont know the differences between them
American Will Iron is more durable. Aluminum is lighter. Those are the differences
"All right guys, it's time to cut these in half to see how they're structured!"
14 HOURS LATER
"So here's what we found..."
FINALLY ITS BAAACK
I like the video but did you mean to say Kevlar? I don't think kevlar can be made transparent, I think you meant to say polycarbonate which if layered correctly is bullet resistant.
You're right! Misspoke and missed it in the edit! Lexan!
I was also thinking the same thing
Donut Media *P O L Y C A R B O N A T E*
Rockabilly Rambler I think that Lexon is just a brand of polycarbonate and a lot of people use the name interchangeably, and he's probably right, I think the Snell helmet does use Lexon polycarbonate.
4:07 to show you the power of flex tape I sawed this helmet in half!
When he said princess leia on endor i lost it. keep it up donut. the writing is A class
Even in the drop test, you can see the bouncing difference. I don't ride a motorcycle, but $360 is pretty less expensive then a new head
Paulo Lange
That is not a proper test. Did anyone weigh the two melons?? Did they hit on the same angle?? This is not how helmets are tested.
@@truantray everyone knows this is not an official test just a demonstration. The tests that Snell and other helmet testing foundations do back up the finding here. There is no harm in using a simple experiment to visually show the difference between the 2 helmets and the observations are valid even if the results are slightly skewed by small inconsistencies.
@@AGD_27 If the melon didn't fit properly in the helmet it wouldn't have mattered which one it was in. If there's any gap between your head and the helmet your going to get both the impact with the ground and the impact between your head and the helmet.
@@matts.8342 I know, read my comment again. I'm saying that although this experiment isn't perfect it does give a visual and entertaining demonstration that provides results that are backed up by professional tests.
Love the series!
Wish we had science garage back, Bart is so fun to watch
honestly this has become my favorite Donut segment. its like bill Nye for men.. and I suppose some women... ok grown ups... but its fun and educational.. please keep them up
walter77jensoning this comment is a fuckin trip
This and “Up to Speed” are awesome! Keep up the excelent job guys! 👍🏻
Can you test the different flavours of antifreeze? I prefer the pink myself.
That's brake fluid.
Donut Media so that's why my brakes keep failing and my radiator keeps icing over
That's blinker fluid
I prefer rv antifreeze
or wiper fluid
or lemonade
Stephen Hawking would be so proud of u
elbert Ducut so would Elbert Einsteen, and Nickoli Tesli
It's Hawking, not Hawkins. Just sayin.
But he's dead already
LanEvo That's the point!
ThundeRed T Am I right?
Love your content. You are badass at making car and racing knowledge more fun than any school! Keep it up!
I love this series . Keep it coming :)
Video idea:
How does blinker fluid work
I did what James told me to do,” drink pure alcohol to get ‘KRUNK’” but now I work at McDonald’s and I lost 100 brain cells. Thanks Donut.
100 brain cells ain't shit.
You lose hundreds of thousands a day
New science garage video yay thanks donut keep making em and make a video about engine oils or vodkas
Probably the best channel on le youtube. Love your vids

Have A Good Year Rideing Again Bro..
Same
PAKTRA_PRODUCTIONS WATCH_DOGS Jesus fuck, I’m glad you’re man.
But was it snell approved? Aka snelly..
Bart is an excellent addition to this channel as a host and a personality. The blank smile and cheerful wit is just like "f*ck you, this is science", and it's awesome. Great job man, I'll be tuning in for sure.
Excellent production in every video
I can't speak to car helmets but motorcyclist magazine did testing on actual testing equipment and At that time they found that Snell offered no extra protection over DOT. This was vack on 2006 I think. They lost a ton of ad revenue from the test but it did spur SNELL to update and rethink their testing procedures and requirements.
This is a good read if anyone is so inclined. Keep in mind its an older article and the SNELL standard has been updated since then. Most likely due to this article.
motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/MotorcyclistHelmets.html
DOT standards are really good, and very similar to snell- but the DOT doesn't test them, they just tell the company what tests they need to pass.
Donut Media it's like checks and balances in our modern democratic government.
Its waaaay more complicated. First, I read the article and it was not very well written. Second, I really like Snell BUT these guys are almost making the argument tjat a pricey helmet is always better and that a Snell helmet is always better- and I know those are neither necessarily true. The cool thing about snell is that they certify and they update standards.
Third- read the Hurt report. DOT is way past due for update.
Fourth- so long as the helmet meets DOT, the two best things you can choose for are full face cover and a really good fit- snug, not too tight, good contact all over, no hot spots.
Serious. This is your life we're talking about
You could hear the difference of the impacts!
Finally, been waiting for Science Garage !!!
Your show has become one of my favourite to watch on you tube. And it’s not one big “commercial “ like the rest of Donut media has become. I still love all of you though. Thx for hard work guys.
You guys should do a history of bucket seats or a video on cheap quality bucket seats vs high quality bucket seats
You should explain the difference between "M" rated and "SA" rated. M is for motorcycles, they are designed form more abrasion. SA stands for sport application and is designed for more impact. SA is usually required for auto events.
yet you will have more abrasion and less impact on a motorcycle than you would in a car. I have also been in a motorcycle accident. All of my injuries were abrasion
Michael Charity unless you are unconscious.
Great Series - unlimited potential!
Thanks for this! Super helpful experiment.
Blow up a Prius
When you had an expensive helmet and you were confident about it but your head got separated from your body after a crash.
Great series, looking forward to heaps of vids in the future!
Up to Speed: Holden Monaro, please, thanks so much! :D
Loved the episode bro
I miss science garage 😢
Remember kids
*Don't cheap out on safety*
Unless you want to pay a shit ton on medical bills or on your funeral
Or better yet, don't drive like YOLO. You won't need an expensive helmet because you're not going to get crashes anyway.
@@triadwarfare
I totally agree, I suggest not Crashing at all... 😅😅
I see a lot of younger folks riding like there's no tomorrow..and at the end of the day gets whining when they end up at the ER..having to get a nice brand helmet is good...but just like you said riding at a normal speed and precise...Better!
Great video, I found it very informative and interesting!
Glad your back and also glad I have a snell approved helmet
Maybe you could do a video on riding boots vs regular boots or shoes. I always see people riding motorcycles with tennis shoes
or flip flops
i admit that i often ride in my normal office work shoes. I did get in an accident and that didnt affect me at all, but in certain situations it could
i ride with no shoes
Oh yeah and just a t shirt!!! Usually in the far left lane going a billion mph. They will be messy if one thing goes wrong.
Great video!
But why drivers also need a racing suit?
Fire Resistance
Sponsors on their bodies
to look on fleek
Or Sarusi because ur mom
No skin burns from sliding as well
Great video, top notch info..
this video can literally save lives! good job guys!
Snel means fast in dutch
This guy is as smart as he's crazy, and he makes Star Wars high level references. You're alright, man.
Nice demonstration. Add the ECE 22.05 European specification; it and the Snell cert used to have drastically different methodology with Snell focused primarily on avoiding penetration and the Euro spec more on preventing shock from reaching the brain. Now they're more aligned from what I've read.
You make these videos so much fun, please do more animations that’s my favorite parts, and video wise please do an episode on intercooler sprayers, cobbs and what stuff they do for say evos or gtrs, big conversions like running 2jz stuff in a evo, or a old muscle car
Except... A $40 Snell approved helmet meets all the same standards a $400 Snell approved helmet does. Aaannd there's been some re-thinking of having such a hard shell due to secondary musculoskeletal issues. Also, a poorly fitting helmet, regardless of certification or price, is bad. Don't do it.
Short answer: Don't shop by price. Shop by certifications and fit.
Throughaclearlens Life except that Snell approved helmets that cost $40 brand new aren't really a thing...
Lmao, DOT and Snell are different
SideWaysiscool yeah, that's what I said. Buy the certification and fit; price has nothing to do with it.
More expensive helmets are almost always better and you wont get a snell helmet for less than 200...plus the snell ratings change
Sam Johns an Arai and a Shoei are both rated identically. The former is about $150 and the latter generally starts at $400. The rest is fit, graphics, and venting.
And with very few exceptions, the Snell certifications have remaine'd remarkably consistent.
I'm wondering if ANY of the responses to my comment are even from folks who've ever even worn a helmet or done any sort of research on them at all.
Did Donut Media just pull a BuzzFeed?
just found this channel. i like it, big science fun energy.
Just recently got the Simpson outlaw bandit matte black with two shields, the smoke iridium and the gold mirror and DAMN!!! I get so many compliments on how badass it looks. Plus its Snell certified. Imma get the carbon bandit from Simpson next. Can't wait!

Cheap coilovers vs legit brand coilovers🔥
Man, watching this old series for the first time and reading the comments about videos/series they should do is cool, seeing all the ideas they used... sucks I missed the science series as it came out but happy I'm catching g up
Where have you been? Missed this series
This was great make more!
Should of worn a helmet when you were up on the pillar
Good point
Science behind racing fuel, or things like methanol or nos injection.
I miss this show. Donut please bring it back!
Waiting for a new ep.THANK U
Should do the evolution of brakes next or maybe I’m like the only dude who cares about that stuff...
i thought this was Fortnine
Mazder_ stupid
lol
Me too 😂😂😂
Mazder_ How did you Think this was fortnite, god get a life
Jett Kipps not fortnite, fortnine, a popular motorcycle CZcamsr who does tests like this all the time, god learn to read
This is the reason im subscribed to you. Good shit here boiz!
Donut Media is rl amazing
God bless you Donut.
Damn last time I was on this channel, you guys only had around 60/70k subscribers and I asked myself. Why are these guys so underrated...Now you guys are almost to 800k! Good shit!
it's about time👏...👍 do more stuff on 🏁 motorcycles 😎 please... thanks... what about gloves? & Jackets...ect
YES, science garage is back.
This is the best show on donut.
When is science garage coming back? it was a great cornerstone of Donut
Finally, Science garage is back
Bart is back! Garage science is back!
Thanks CZcams algorithm for reminding me in 2021 how AWESOME Science Garage and Bart were in 2018. Good times
Please do different types of winch line and explain how it all works and which winch might be best
Hell of a jump dude! Glad your back. SCIENCE
Thanks for the vid
WHOOO MY FAVORITE. I love SCience Garage. Donut media is like the apple of the car world, quality content none of the monopoly or corrpuption or... someone dying of cancer..
Do one on Coilovers / Shock absorbers vs Airshocks / airbag suspension!!
miss Bart and his show bring it back please
Exhausts, their insides and outsides!
2 stroke, 4 stroke, Diesel, cut outs, straight pipes, collectors, filters, catalytic converter, so much good stuff!
Finally, Science Garage 😀
How about the different styles of seat belts(commercial, 5-point, the old automatics, etc)? Great content as usual!
i got a idea
examine a wool FIA racing suit and burn it to the crisp compare it to regular clothing or regular jumpsuits
or how a Turbo and a supercharger works in action exposed and tear it in half to see the bits inside
Plz fix the audio delay. Great video.
Test the $100 (on sale) Bell Vortex RSD Dyna Helmet, which is SNELL 2010 & DOT approved. And the Bilt Blaze Racer Helmet $50, which is DOT and ECE 2205 approved.
This is so cool to watch, my helmet (Profile pic) just over £430 and I definitely want to get a custom decal on it, to make it more personal and stand out. Loved the video!
Can you do a video on COOLANT, how it's important to use either best, medium and low quality for daily, roadtrips, and or annual, and what causes them to last as long as the quality or is it better to just use water? Also what would happen to the radiator and engine at each quality? Thanks. ¡¡¡Your videos are WET!!! ¡¡¡Hella dope and intriguing content, keep up the good work, much love to all your media and diversity keep it Y'all!!!
It'd be cool to see a vid on various ignition fluids, like ether/etc. that help start your engine. Or even something about ski-doo or ATV engines.
Please make a video on Car Suspension types, I cant understand what Mc Pherson Strut does or what multi-link suspension does in terms of performance. Thanks :)
You talked about the difference between octane levels of gasoline, but I've always wondered what the difference between synthetic and regular oil is. Could you do a video on that!?!
Finally... All hail Science Garage!!!
I hope the "don't tell my wife" jokes never cease, they're so funny, another amazing episode of Science Garage
Watching some vintage Donut over lunch at the end of 2023.
Do a video explaining blinker fluid!
I was waiting for you to show us a high end helmet
This is good. A couple of my friends have gotten into motorcycles lately.
