Now I can't stop thinking about how tedious it would have been to break each and every brick of Lego apart after the Lego ball failure

When I was 11 in 1957 I cut the heads off of wooden strike anywhere matches. I wanted to build a rocket. I packed the match heads in a tin 35 mm film can, and glued the can shut. I had pierced the end, and inserted a fuse from a fire cracker. Since it was a test run I had not completed the rocket. I taped it to a stick with paper clips to hang it on fishing line. The plan was to fire it out my 2nd story bedroom window down to a tree in the yard. All set to go I lit it. The fuse burned into the can and pooom hundreds of tiny flaming match heads all over the place and me beating them out. I saved the room but it was dotted with burn marks from each wooden match head. I got my assed beat for that one, but my experimentation continued.

For the burnout fire myth, I think the car wasn’t powerful enough, I’ve seen tyres catch fire before with my own eyes, but those cars are over 1000hp.

Laughs in Australian Burnout Cars 🤣 Wow that was sad, even Mum rips a better skid.

@manusb6441

Nowadays some cars have so much horse power and torque that the tire catch fire, which is definitely plausible. Happened so many times since the Mythbusters.

A tires auto-ignition temp is about 600 degrees C as I learnt in the rural fire service. It's why we spray the wheels in a burnover because otherwise, the tires catch fire even without flames touching it, just from the radiant heat.

@scotishpatriot

Like a rocket engine is a good comparison.

@Ellerion2

I'd say the lego ball myth lacked some superglue...

@AndyHack10

Just yesterday i was looking for this very episode, but only found a rather old upload of it on youtube. Quite odd seeing this got uploaded just a few hours after 😅

@senshi-knives

regarding the burnout myth: I think the smoke displaces the oxygen so the gasoline didn't ignite. Also I think they could have gotten their heat source to ignite the rubber from continuing the burnout on the rim and get it red hot.

well the should have come to Australia its not a real burnout till there is fire haha

@TheMatthooks

Should try and use the match heads as a firearm propellant. I've seen people use them, powdered, to recycle primers (it has to be the non safety, strike anywhere kind) but wonder if it could be used as a propellant too. Might have to drag the reloading kit out and test it myself...
