    it would be more scientific to make a series of experiments on the padlock, as hey might just had some sort of lucky hit^^

  2. adugzzz353 says:

    i dont think so. there arent any tornados where i live. dut it can hold quite a bit of winds

  3. DoctorWeeTodd says:

    @equallyeasilyfuqyou You’re probably right. I did a search and a .30-06 Springfield cartridge can go up to 58,700 psi. The highest powered rivet gun I was able to find on Google was just close to 5,000 psi.

    But then again, the bullet’s momentum would slow over distance, whereas the rivet gun is on contact. I don’t know exactly how many pounds per square inch the sledgehammer and crowbar/chisel combo gives off.

    @DoctorWeeTodd i’d say no. it took them a 12 gauge or a M1 Garand to punch out a lock before.

    @adugzzz353

    Is your house tornado proof?

  6. adugzzz353 says:

    thats a crapy house. i live in a 2 storie house with a basement an an attic where sealing/flor is at least 20 cm solid concrete thick. i bet the water heater wont penetrate that

    @robertkrosl
    sherlock getting raped by captain obvious (>_<)

  8. robertkrosl says:

    @DoctorWeeTodd Oh yeah u might wanna submit that one : )

  9. DoctorWeeTodd says:

    @robertkrosl You’re right, but I think you misunderstood my point. I wasn’t saying that the rivet gun used liquid nitrogen. The experiment here is about bypassing locks using an unwieldy pressurized tank. Using a rivet gun would be similar.

  10. robertkrosl says:

    @DoctorWeeTodd Liquid nitrogen?Wasnt that compressed air?

  11. itsmeevry1 says:

    you could maybe…kick throuh the door?
    done properly, under 10 seconds, a lot less than liquid nitrogen…

  12. DoctorWeeTodd says:

    The liquid nitrogen myth brings to mind a plot device from “No Country For Old Men.”

    Would a rivet gun used for slaughtering cattle simply punch out a lock?

    I wanna see them test that out.

  13. subtlewhatssubtle says:

    That’s the key word. Exploded.

    I’m willing to bet that the failsafes worked as they were supposed to and allowed a colorful but not catastrophic failure. To get the Mythbusters’ results you have to actively make a heater about as unsafe as possible, as in, disabling or capping the release valves that are supposed to prevent this kind of surface-to-air mayhem. Even pressure damage to the cylinder body means that metal stress or a bad side seam did it in, as opposed to the end welds in this model

  14. henrytakeover says:

    pirisoner: oh prison guard, could i borrow some liquid nitrogen a crowbar and some sledgehammers for my inmates and me to play with?

  15. henrytakeover says:

    3:01 just use the sledgehammer on the wood smart one

  16. DeltaPhi79 says:

    Well it would FULLY confirm it. lol.

  17. The1Rausch says:

    omg are you serious ??? the mythbusters want to confirm or bust myths !!!

    you want them to test boilers of about 25 brands and every single product line of @ least 30 years ? not talking about the other details like boiler-fixations blablabla…

    seriously, are you stupid?

  18. DeltaPhi79 says:

    And for houses I’m considering the whole USA and not just California. Apparently the building code in California doesn’t require as strong of a house as in Philadelphia, PA in my area.

  19. DeltaPhi79 says:

    So then when my grandmother’s exploded, why didn’t her water heater make it out of the basement?

  20. The1Rausch says:

    do the math 1st.

    the forces are so big it theoretically would go through a 3ft concrete wall like a hot knife through butter. to stop it or even to change the course you need at least a 1.5cm thick steelplate with a min weight of 9 tonns …

  21. DeltaPhi79 says:

    For their specific area.

  22. serridgeas says:

    @DeltaPhi79 they did it to building regs

  23. DeltaPhi79 says:

    **it

  24. DeltaPhi79 says:

    They still kinda did the hot water heater wrong here. Although they did get the ceiling and floor, a lot of houses in different areas have another room above that ceiling where it could slow down. That ceiling would have another floor on in.

  25. DeltaPhi79 says:

    She said ductility. She said it fast though. It sounds like “dectility” but if you hear someone say “duck tape” really fast, it can sound like “deck tape”.
