The lead balloon was the first time a "Busted" feel like a win more than a loss.

Adam has said that the lead foil was one of the hardest things to source for all of Mythbusters, because no company in North America could reliably create such thin foil. Only makes me appreciate one of my favorite episodes even more!

I am rewatching these and realize that it wasn’t really educational, it was not encouraging people to try new things - it was just pure entertainment, cut short enough to be fun to watch and a message “don’t do this at home!”.

@@aliancemd The show always talks about physics, chemistry, historical context, engineering, etc. The core of the TV show is to use the scientific method to check whether a myth is false, true or plausible. How the hell is that not educational?

I love how Kari DID put some muscle definition on Grantbot's guns there :D Also, Jamie saying the lead balloon was "the most bizarre thing we ever put together" while the plan for the steam machine gun (aka rotation slingshot of death) was still visible behind Adam's back when planning the cube is extremely funny. Like, oh yeah, the high pressure whirling death machine? That's a dime a dozen - just another day at M5..

He could have easily just spoken English. Eppstein im Taunus is a stones throw from Frankfurt am Main. Beautiful place and like most of Germany is full of the kind of Germans who begin a sentence with, "I do apologise about the awful state of my English" then proceed to speak better English than native speakers.

@andrewince8824 6 ай бұрын

@@grimmner Eppstein is a few km from Frankfurt and as such has a very high level of English due to the sheer amount of international business in the region. Going to the more remote areas and toward Eastern Germany you'll find fewer English speakers but in and around the big Western cities there's a long history of good English. My friends grandfather was born an raised in Mainz, speaks excellent English due to his work in the 60's. Lovely chap too, fantastic knowledge of local beers.

The lead foil used by Adam and Jamie is produced in Eppstein im Taunus (Epp-stine im T-ow-nuss, not Epp-steen). Beautiful little place in the Taunus mountains a short distance from Frankfurt am Main, even if one must unfortunately travel through Höchst to get there. One of my favourite places in Deutschland with beautiful mountain hikes, stunning scenery and the best Italian restaurant perched up on a mountain right next to Kaisertempel.

TNT explodes about 4000 m / s, not 7000. 7000 is closer to "plastic" explosives (such as hexogene, "heksogeeni", or hexotol, "heksotoli", which are, as far as I was tought on par with "C4"). Still, TNT is awesome explosive, and certainly great for this myth.
