what kind of hero is in charge of this channel and reuploading these episodes for free
Banijay science or who ever owns it. Bought up all the rights to Mythbusters. Why they are uploading on two different channels is beyond me.
@@trizkit995 They're about 2 1/2 seasons ahead on the Banijay channel; probably to drive more traffic over there.
Not all heroes wear capes
Only works outside the US as well. Thats probably why it works
would be funny if Adam Savage would be the one in charge
Hi , chef here - grease fires are the #1 reason for property damage and loss of life , nearly all major accidents in kitchens involves burning grease or oil - its very very very dangerous to do anything but choke the fire, so you would want to keep a lid around big enough to cover the entire pot/pan , and leave it until the entire thing is cold - as we saw with the lard fire that it keeps coming back if its hot enough so let i suffocate and then when its cold its safe .
Yep. Kitchens can be dangerous when you don't know the rules. Need to clean old grease. And please don't walk away with anything still on! I almost burned down our kitchen a long time ago when I walked away and forgot the stove was still on.
We're always extra cautious when cooking with oil.
It's never unattended and we keep the lid nearby and we have a fire blanket too.
A tip for the home chef who might not have a good lid for every pan, and also is likely to forget to keep it nearby. Buy a fire blanket, they're cheap and can save your life.
Entire kitchen is blown apart. Jamie: this is messed up, there's cereal on the floor.
Priorities!
Find yourself someone that looks at you the same way that Grant looks at that bomb robot 😅
The full-size test had a definite wind issue. I think it would have reached 30ft in dead calm conditions.
Came here to say this.
@@MarcosCodas Same. Quite obvious as well, but it would be a short episode if they tested it indoors (plane hangar or something).
They could possibly also have reached a greater height if they had used a taller pan/pot, so the sides would funnel the fire/explosion upwards at the start, rather than the flat pan where it can go outwards instead.
Who has a kitchen with a ceiling 30ft high🤔....
Definite wind issue and should be tested indoors...
But really... A kitchen with a 3 storey ceiling?
@@netheshramroop3281 I think the 30 foot comes from outdoor "kitchens", where people fry seafood or make fries. Throwing frozen food in hot oil is a disaster in the making and since many people are clueless, it happens a lot.
Sorry to say the 1st test would of hit 30feet if not for the wind 😅
22:18 you can tell even the bomb squad guys were a little surprised it worked.
Jamie: "You didn't"
Adam: "I did"
😅😅😅
Now what about putting out burning water with room temperature oil?
No wait... 🤔
Of course, one of the only times I've ever seen Jamie without a hat, he is using his head to light a match.
well the wind blows all the fireballs to the right? so in non-wind environment 30ft could be reached easily I think..
Yes, I thought that too.
Honestly I think the same
Soup Can Fireball was terrifying because you can see the can shoot off at the same speed. It shot up about 30ft in 9 Frames, on the Slow-mo. So in about 1/3 of a second of slow-mo footage, the can was shot 30 ft into the air, and rising. I don't know the exact framerate of the slow-mo, so I can't do the exact math, but that's... terrifying regardless
That soup can fireball might actually be one of the best on the show O_o
They just wanted to make bigger fires. Otherwise they'd be open to see that wind was taking those 5 feet to the side 😂
The MythBusters loaded the cannon all wrong! They should have used Cannonbert Chese! 🤣
A group of men with a small private yard in the middle of Wilmington DE decided to deep fry a turkey. I arrived after the fire department left. They neglected to removed the frozen gizzards etc. That oil was not on fire and the damage was done to a roof and porch one story up. I stopped attending that group's parties because the made the same mistake on purpose the next season. They tried to deep fry frozen chicken wings en masse, the still scorched wall left for the next ball of fire fun.
Thats a weird accent on Washington DC
Karis face when she was absolutely dumbfounded about how fast the C4 took to explode while waiting for the boys to realize it but them just being excited about the explosion was absolute gold and hilarious.
Also using a pregnancy as an excuse to eat cheese is pretty great too.
Thank you Mythbusters for the episodes you have posted! this is awesome!
RIP Grant.
Love the way Jamie says lard
15:25
Zombie Jamie goes "Laaaard..."
I feel like the reason someone would think to shoot cheese wheels from a cannon is because the cheese wheels matched the diameter of the cannon. I know the show stopped, but I wish they got wheels that matched the diameter with the wax wrap still on.
They would of hit 30ft if the wind never blow it away
*would have
*would’ve
TECHNICALLY you can put a grease fire out with water... You just need enough water to starve it of oxygen. Which is an amount that most people won't have readily available.
Nice use of Flight of the Valkyrie, during Apocalypse Kitchen!
This needs to be revisited with pool full of burning oil and a water drop from helicopter!
Fantastic that these are being uploaded for free! Now all we need is a place where we can download them all from. Seriously, we need a torrent of all of these!
I mean.. there's no need for a torrent.
There are a lot of ways to get CZcams videos on your computer.
I won't go into any further...
Sure a torrent would be the more convenient way but it's not really needed.
Señor. Me has mirado a los ojos... Keep uploading these please ❤
I believe that without the wind outside, the peanut oil fireball would have easily been 30 feet tall!
Fantastic video. Maximum effort was clearly put into this. ❤
I love Adam's joke at 1:59 and Jamie's reaction to it. Is there something wrong with me?
Perhaps if we all band together and demand cheaper grease, the fires won't cost millions of dollars per year.
Just an interjection here...... Those conditions are not the same as the inside of a kitchen..... Those flames would most certainly reach and exceed 30ft if not for the present wind conditions..... In fact, when those flames hit the ceiling they propagate to all the surrounding sources of ignition thereby further spreading the inferno.... Doing this test out side with windy conditions is skewing the data somewhat....
This one made me super uncomfortable because I have scars head to toe from a grease fire. Please people, don't ever put water on a grease fire! Either put a lid on the pan, or use a fire blanket to smother the flames!
The should have shown how to extinguish a grease fire correctly. E.g. remove it from the heat and put a lid on it.
First things first, many comments claim that the fireball would reach 30ft if there was no wind, this is not a correct statement as the wind didn't remove momentum from the system but rather added sideways momentum.
Second, the likely culprit is actual must likely the fact that the water was heated by being placed above boiling oil, with the water at a higher temperature it didn't have time to enter the oil properly and must likely turned into steam far quicker and therefore closer to the surface than a normal situation
Wind doesnt blow straight across land, it blows in flurries and vortexes. It definitely could have added downward momentum to the air column. But I still agree the test wouldnt have been much different
38:16 Jamie also changed the rules here and claimed the wind would mess with the fire ball results.
Now I want grilled cheese
@10:50 is not from "Shooting a fish in a barrel"
22:13 Safety! XD
6:04
Gav, is that you?😏
They poured water from too high a height. Before all the water had time to pour into the oil, an explosion occurred and the rest of the water was pushed away from the burning oil. The pot of water was much higher above the oil than if the pot had been held by a person trying to put out the burning oil.
32:49 The numbers don't match the test results. They've switched the Smoked Gouda and the Garrotxa.
How I miss them....
The grease fire "experiment" is soooo flawed, in a home you dont have wind to push the flames to the side, therefore with that information the fireballs can exceed 30 feet if the wind wasnt pushing it away from a straight line up
Does your kitchen have a 30 foot ceiling
@@bazzacorps No my warehouse does though
@@casperstour you should recreate it then
@@bazzacorps And spend time away from my businesses to recreate something that just takes common sense to know and get 0 views? Im good thanks
@@casperstour what is your business
They should've tested one more variation.
- Heat 2 quarts oil until it burns
- Pour 1 quart water to create the FIRST fireball
- Pour 2 kilos of flour into the first fireball to create the SECOND fireball
I'm gonna try that one, hi nice actuator you have there!
Yes I agree, re-do but inside a warehouse that has no cross wind and I’m sure it would reach 30’ ! And if you do retry this myth can I suggest olive oil??
"cut the cheese" made me laugh (means to 'break wind' in UK = fart/trump)
1845 ppl found out about Grilled cheeze sandwiches
ppl before 1845 :
I don't understand why the wood safety was needed ahaha
Dammit, now I want cheese.
trust the Dutch to make cannon worthy cheese - lol!
I wonder if the temperature of the water affects the fireball height at all
Lol why did they need the robot to remove that peice of wood?
im uruguayan, uruguay and brasil never fought a war
15:3 detail? ..without the sidewind it would problably 30 feet flame 🤷🏻♂️
my question is what kitchen has 30 foot ceilings?
what about a lower setting on the microwave?
This show must have been so great for the police for visibility and community outreach
Whats the lethal cheese name? Garrotxa slides better
Garrotxa
One of my favorite of all the Spanish cheeses, this is an artisan, unpasteurized hard cheese from north-central Cataluña. It comes in a gray, felt-like wheel and has a bone-white interior. This cheese has a very smooth texture and a tangy, and somewhat, grassy flavor laced with hints of hazelnuts.
It is Gouda Watching
How do you sleep at night after puns like that!!?!
Btw wind makes a test fail
i know they supersized it at the end but im curious what the actual ratio of water is to smother without fireball
I don’t think there is one. The water is causing a steam explosion and aerosolising the burning oil. Since the oil is at auto-ignition temperature it ignites as soon as it has access to air, and when it’s turned into millions of droplets that happens practically instantly.
You’d have to somehow remove enough heat from the oil to drop it below auto-ignition temperature, and I don’t think that’s possible, there are limits to how quickly thermal energy can be moved from one substance to another.
boom !
As well as wind being a big factor, the water must of been pretty hot before they dunked it; I expect normally people will grab water from a tap. It would be room temperature at best, and probably alot colder. I might be wrong but I think colder water will get more of a chance to sink through the oil before it explosively vaporises, and the extra pressure will have a greater effect, hot water is more likely to flash on the surface. That's my hunch anyway.
Definitely how it works.
That would have been another interesting experiment. I don't expect that it would have made that much difference though, given how rapidly the water turns to steam upon contact with the oil, and the relatively minor (compared to water vs oil) temperature differential between tap water and water at room temperature.
What if u add ice or dryice to a Greece fire
Mythbusters is usually pretty good so it's surprising that they didn't recognise that the wind was the critical factor from the very first test.
Im sure they did but what type of cable show would it have been if it ended after a minute?
What was the time they put the microwave in the movie ???
1 minute
Don’t watch this video without headphones at the airport 😅
8 ounces of water? Had to google that. FFS, just use metric (just short of 300ml) and be done with it 🤣
They could’ve also said 1 cup
@@cameronknowles6267I have multiple types and sizes of cups at home, so which one?
For a show preaching science, their only flaw was not going metric (which is understandable, given their main target audience was the american, which still uses outdated Imperial measurements and customs in their day to day lives).
@@Lord_RFAS One standard cup is 250ml
@@DrBarbequeSauceAnd that is not taught in science classes 🤣🤣🤣
@@Lord_RFAS Not in America, lol. Also isn't that math, not science?
Save a fortune in high exp for SFX
paper wil catch fire in a microwave under 2 min, so all they needed was paper and a fuse,
how i know: don't warm up mcdonalds to long hahaha
Gouda is Dutch, it is pronounced like OW NO , gOWda, Gouda
They confirmed the myth because who has a 30 foot kitchen
Why not ask Brazil Navy about records for the cheeese myth ???
"That's what yummie sounds like".. I don't know why but this sentence made me laugh a lot. 😂
It's a shame that he had to die so young.
Grant almost cheated on deadblow
Why is the sound so weak on this channel? I have to keep the volume at maximum to understand something, but I'm still not satisfied with the quality.
Buy a legit copy, it's a CZcams bootleg
Its a twenty years old television show...
2:59 exquisite reference.
“Oh I know this myth” goes on to say very obviously scripted reaction. (This is a joke at the expense of myth busters being obviously scripted not Grant Imahara himself) love you Grant RIP ❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂
She is not pregnant there
100 a pillow
I don't know where everyone had their eyes, but in the first grease fire test (canola) part of the fire ball was at 30ft - even with the quite strong winds they had. Without the winds, it surely would've gone higher. So call it "confirmed"!!! That doesn't destroy the show: Y'all know most of us are just waiting for the bigger booms, and take whatever results you get at the end to learn.
once again they cant get the myth right. you don't put that much grease in a pan, you would use a pot
the glass of water splashes a lot of the grease out of the pan. if in a pot the fire would be forced upward
get it right guys!
also the wind was blowing outside, and the inside test measuring stick was too small to say the pot didn't go higher than the pan because the flame was stopped by the ceiling
You are the one that's busted Jamie not the myth!

Could a native speaker explain why the narrator says "On this episode of Mythbusters" instead of "In this episode..."?
I'm a native speaker but had to look this up. People debate about it but seems both are correct! We usually say something is "on TV" but "in a film"
Someone on the internet said maybe this was because we see a TV mostly as a physical object, but see a film more like a collection of information
@@user-ys3jh7tw8j Thanks man! I found some discussion about "on the show"/ "at the show". There it is more clear, as someone explained: "if you are on the stage or in front of the camera, you are on the show". So to apply this to Mythbusters I guess myths are part of the show, so they are "on". However seems to me that saying "in the show" is not really a mistake as narrator talks about things that are part of it (the show contains them, so they are in).
I guess it is one of the things that you need to kind of feel. It's like you intuitively know which thing sits on the table and which stands (as an example from my mother tongue), even though there's no clear logic.
@@d4slaimless Thank u for the extra info! You're right, speaking a language becomes very intuitive. It's interesting how complicated it gets when u stop and pay attention
I like the stand/sit on the table example too :-)
I think the crosswind had more to do with the guys not making 30ft....such amateurs
Jeez they literally ruin the ending for every single myth in the first 10 seconds.
0o0 C
I love this show, but really hated it when they set out to "bust" something that isn't even a myth, but simply a fact. They prove that obviously it's possible, but then invent some pointless contrivance in order to claim that the myth is busted.
Will pouring water on a fat fire cause a huge fireball? Yes, it will.
Will you get a "30ft fireball"? Well when did the claim get so specific? And besides, yes, under the right circumstances (indoor without wind) it undoubtedly would.
Would it happen with just 8 ounces of water? Probably, but whoever heard of a myth that specified such a tiny volume.
15:25
Cheese cannon balls!?🤔🤌🏻 Poking holes in sails, isn’t going to win any battle. You either burn the sails or better still cut the sail mast, that’s what the chained balls were for.
Not to mention that the cheese would loose too much velocity over the distance between two ships
That's maybe one of the reasons why they lost the war hahahaha
I can see that the fire would have reach the 30 ft Mark on the stove but the wind didn't let it.
Ya but then they wouldnt have anything to film. Have to draw things out to the full run time you know what I mean? Include the neccisary suspense and drama to make their story.
