Here's the 2nd (of 4 parts) which bring us the result of the "Sodium Jail Break" myth (Busted). Even a 500 grams of potassium (which was more explosive than sodium) can't even pentrate the wall. All they have to do was to setup a CF4 explosive to bring it down. But the first part of this clip was the making of the "ultralight" plane made of bamboo. McGyver did it in 4 hours but the mythbusters team made it by 3 to 4 days (which brings it initially busted).

As a teaser, i am showing to you first the 10 minute- first (out of 4) part of the 100th episode (as it needs me some time to upload 23MB of file to Youtube). This episode will test the following myths:

1. "Sodium Jail Break" - blowing a hole on a cement wall with one gram of sodium
2. "Bamboo ultralight" - tried to build and fly a plane made with bamboo if it could fly and keep the passenger in safety
3. Jamie and Adam faced "the ultimate Mc-Challenge" - 4 types of challenges against 2 of their companions in this TV series acting as villains.

But for this first part, it will only show the introduction part the above details up to the details of "Bamboo ultralight". I will try my best to upload all 4 parts of this special episode and i hope you will still enjoy this clip.

mythbusters # 5: The "Knight Rider" smart car parking on the trailer truck - confirmed

noreply@blogger.com (gears) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 09:00:00 +0000

The good old knight rider series has made David Hasselhoff nicknamed "The Hoff". Well, during his knight-rider-driving days, have you ever wondered when he always parks his smart-talking black sports car inside the black-trailer truck was impossible? I don't, but the mythbusters had some curiosity if it was really possible in real life.

Mythbuster # 2: Walk on water ? - Busted

noreply@blogger.com (gears) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 12:07:00 +0000

Walking on water surely make things interesting, and when you do, it would be a miracle. Then the mythbusters surely tried that idea, but it was "busted". One experiment was done when Adam successfully walk on it. By mixing 200 gallons of water with 1000 pounds of corn starch - yes corn starch. But, surely its not 100% water.

Mythbuster # 1: Can water heater explode ? - Confirmed

noreply@blogger.com (gears) — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:01:00 +0000

May be everyone who owns a water heater would want to know if it actually explode. Don't you think so? Probably, it might. The "mythbusters" would try experimenting one. By building a small house (with a dummy on a bathtub) with the roof patterned from California standard design, they will see on how much water pressure will it give up its power. They will give you an idea what if it exploded inside your house or under your basement... watch this !
