machine that knocked Buster out of a chair after several tries. In the unedited version of one take (on the MythBusters Discovery website, probably the second trial from the episode), problems with the objects prevented the machine from running smoothly on its own, prompting the MythBusters to force it to work all the way through. Finally, on the 10th trial, they successfully made the machine work all by itself. Although they did have much experience with creating Rube Goldberg machines in the past, the time constraint given for this particular one almost proved too much for them to handle (usually, it takes them two to three weeks to build a machine and a few days to shoot it; with this particular one, they had only a week to build
5255:-inch (1.59 cm) cable at 30,000 pounds-force (130,000 N) of tension was unable to cut a pig in two (or even cut into it), but it did cause potentially lethal injuries. The MythBusters took the test even further by adding a smaller cable at the end of a larger one to create a "whip" effect, and they even looped a cable around the pig itself. None of these methods could cut the pig by the pretensioned cable's inertia alone. The pig was cut in half only when Adam tied a cable around it before tightening the cable. Also, after making inquiries with almost every safety organization imaginable, the MythBusters were unable to find any concrete evidence of a person being cut in half by a snapped cable. 6567:. The MythBusters test one version of this story. According to the explosives expert used for the episode, this was the largest explosion executed for MythBusters up to that time with 500 lb (227 kg) of dynamite and detcord and was ignited with 2 blasting caps as Adam mentions in the dialog: one for the detcord, and the other for the balloons. The resulting explosion traveled at a velocity of 21,000 ft (6,401 m) per second, destroying the train station and killing the airman, proving that it was impossible for a bomb shockwave and human body to equalize pressure. 4873:
size of the pores in the surface of the tree) at point-blank range added no additional distance into the tree. A piece of reed was tested as the sturdiest organic object that might be mistaken for a piece of straw. At both ranges, the reed managed to go only about two inches into the tree. Additionally, Jamie tried a piece of piano wire, and at 50 cm, it flew not only through the tree but also through a sheet of plywood on the wall behind it, partially embedding itself into the concrete wall.
6211:) to set the tree on fire. Though the myth was busted, Adam and Jamie noted how quickly the tree caught on fire once it was ignited, warning viewers to be careful around their Christmas trees. Also, Adam and Jamie proved that a single extension cord can be overloaded with too many lights, causing the cord to produce significant heat due to its electrical resistance, which can burn the cord's insulation, which they theorize is the primary reason for Christmas tree fires. 2284: 2765:) could be discharged under water, but the bullets lose velocity rapidly and are rendered less than lethal beyond a meter. (The entire gun had to be completely submerged in water—all pockets of air must be removed—to prevent a possible explosion when fired.) Furthermore, the break-barrel shotgun (a relatively old design) destroyed itself when fired under water. Finally, the water pressure might cause the spent 5423:) for gunpowder engines, none of which worked for more than one cycle. The team could not find a practical or reliable way to feed the gunpowder into the engines without having them backfire and ignite all the powder, most likely because black powder is not a liquid and therefore is not transported as easily; also, gunpowder cannot be ignited while mixed in with liquid (even flammable 6052:) would collide in midair. However, this proved impossible because they were unable to get the guns to fire at the same time. Instead, they aimed a single rifle at a bullet suspended in the air. The fired bullet hit dead center, and the MythBusters found that both bullets had fused into a single mass. Though very unlikely, it is possible for two bullets to collide and fuse in midair. 3159:-fueled car did run on it. However, the MythBusters speculated that once this alternative fuel achieves a significant interest level among the public, used cooking oil will be hoarded as a marketable commodity. The used cooking oil also did not quite fit the requirement of improved fuel efficiency, as it yielded approximately 10% less distance for an equivalent amount of diesel. (See 2466:" rating). Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most U.S. states, and even in the states where it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also, the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets (fired from about 1 mi (1.6 km) away, hence at a lower angle), one of them fatally (the " 1606:
flat, inadvertently sending the plane running amok and crashing into five other planes, including the Seminole in the myth's photograph. This supported something Adam and Jamie had learned during the course of testing the myth, which was that modern airplanes do sometimes need to be hand-started if that happens and can run away if someone is not at the controls.

They eventually tested whether the following can potentially blow up with lethal consequences if heated on a stove by heating the material in question on a stove and placing a ballistics gel torso with an actual human ribcage and a fake heart near the stove so that they could examine potential injuries: 6645:
Through numerous tests, the MythBusters calculated that the power surge from turning on a light would simply consume as much power as leaving it on for a fraction of a second (except for fluorescent tube lights; the startup consumed about 23 seconds' worth of power). Furthermore, the wear and tear of

The MythBusters were unable to recover any recognizable sound from the pot by using a record player with a glass needle (to prevent scratching the clay). Even with professional audio enhancement and the most advanced sound systems available, they were unable to recover any discernible sounds from the

Propelling a piece of straw at a palm tree at a distance of 50 cm (20 in) at 320 mph (510 km/h) (the world record for recorded wind speed at ground level), the straw managed to penetrate the tree only a quarter of an inch. Even firing at the tree while it was bent (to increase the

The Build Team then tested a bottle-capped lava lamp, which leaked due to a poor seal. Grant then blew the lava lamp up using a squirt of cold water from a spray bottle to induce thermal shock—and the explosion lodged a piece of glass deep into the ballistics gel dummy planted near the lamp. With the

The drilling caused some noise but not enough to trip a sonic alarm. It did, however, cause the entire glass panel to break, but because it was tempered and laminated, the glass held together. Jamie then used pliers to pick out the pieces until an arm-sized hole could open up, allowing access to the

The control water killed more bees (two) than vodka, which failed to kill any. The bees sprayed with water went into a comatose-like state and awoke later the next day when they dried off. The bees sprayed with vodka showed no ill effects at all (though they seemed to fly in a weird manner as if they

The MythBusters were unable to attach the turkey to a full-size radio antenna, though the manager stated that the antenna used only several watts of power compared to the several hundred used by microwave ovens. The MythBusters then tried to test the myth on a smaller vehicle-mounted microwave dish,

the coin was possible (if thrown correctly, on the first try) by piercing a lead coin. Both the Peacemaker and Navy revolver were able to only dent the silver dollar. While a .357 Magnum could easily pierce the coin, the myth was busted because the .357 was not introduced until the 1930s—gunslingers

The lighter was put in a toaster oven to simulate the maximum temperature that the interior of a car can reach, around 180 Â°F (82 Â°C). There was no reaction for several hours, and the lighter finally exploded when the MythBusters ramped the temperature up to over 350 Â°F (177 Â°C),

In a scene not shown in some versions of the episode, they found that the suit blocked the body heat, preventing the sensor from seeing the wearer. However, a small breach in the suit around Tory's buttocks area triggered the sensor when pointed towards it. Despite that, though, he found he was able

In a scene not shown in some versions of the episode, Kari built an apparatus that deflected the beams from mirror to mirror until it reached the receptor while creating a doorway that she and Tory could walk through. However, the device was massive, and just sticking it in was enough to set off the

A stick of dynamite in a bucket of paint cannot distribute the paint evenly enough to fully paint the room; only 40% of the room (around the bottom and part of the ceiling) received paint, and the room took some shrapnel damage (even from a plastic bucket). Furthermore, Adam's and Jamie's customized

Heating the room from the ceiling immediately set off the sensor, while heating the room from the ground did not. However, the sensor was still sensitive enough to detect the difference between human body temperature and the ambient temperature. They also attempted piping the heat in from below and

A pig's teeth are significantly stronger than a human's, and yet they were shattered by an impulse test when a bullet, held by a pig head's teeth under the same pressure as an average human's maximum bite strength, was suddenly forced forward by a force equivalent to a speeding bullet. Furthermore,

The MythBusters also addressed fans' criticisms that suggested they try to light the ships' sails instead of the body of the ship, and showed the sails diffused the light due to their composition and the wind blowing against them, thus they could not be as easily set on fire compared to the body of

A stamp in a controlled scale test did not cause any changes to the helicopter rotor's rotation. The MythBusters immediately ramped up the test to the scale of 8,000 stamps, which destroyed the scale model helicopter. The full-sized test also produced the same results, as the stamp did not cause a

This is also referred to as "Which has the whitest teeth." This myth was less a challenge than an inside joke. The MythBusters received many emails from fans complaining about Adam's brown teeth. This was not aired in the US. However, on the Discovery Europe version, it is included in the episode.
3235:
Adam's suction cups were able to hold his weight as well and were relatively much quieter than Jamie's magnets, but the climb was still clearly audible. Furthermore, the mechanisms Adam used to control the vacuums often failed, which caused him to slip and fall down the vent, blowing his cover. He

Before Grant started the myth, he stated that he found that the highly visible, brightly colored light beams seen in movies do not exist in the real world, as not only would it defeat the purpose of making the laser system hard to get around, but real light moves far too quickly to be seen by the

Though this was not an actual myth, the MythBusters decided it would be fun to build a holiday-themed Rube Goldberg machine. Using various household objects such as Mentos, Diet Coke, a bowling ball, various toys, and a roast turkey, the MythBusters appeared to create a successful Rube Goldberg

After testing various contraptions that were allegedly able to defy gravity, the MythBusters found none of them could actually achieve "anti-gravity"; the contraptions (that did levitate) generated an upward force that balanced their downward gravitation. The myth was declared busted (for now)

While visible beams can be seen, they are detectable only when the powder is airborne, which is not very long. Also, as Kari found, blowing too much powder can cause enough of the beam to break and set off the alarm. Furthermore, most laser systems use invisible infrared laser trip beams.
