Water heater rocket was peak Mythbusters!

Guess what happened to Chernobyl with the steam explosion from the vaporized reactor water. Imagine the boiler launch 100 times bigger.

About that water heater - I´ve talked to a few plumbers about this - and the safety valve is their main concern, actually. They do plug up, because nobody ever tests them. What saves the day mostly, is the thermostat. Because if it fails, it´s very likely that the entire power supply to the heater fails as well. After all, the heater draws more power, and it will corrode a bit faster, pretty regularly. Accounting for this in a Mythbusters test though, is a bit out of range, as it means a few decades of corrosion usually...

The safety valves for water heaters are normally pre-plugged.. they start out plugged with something like wax, and the plug melts when they get too hot. Makes it much safer and plug-proof to already have them stopped up.

16:36 Hot water heater. Maybe this was the TV bit that got George Carlin so mad into making the "Play on words" segment in his 1977 HBO special!

Yo one sec, Grant died of an aneurism in 2020. There is no way this could've contributed tp it in any way, right?

no he wouldve had a checkup immediately after this episode; plus aneurysms form in the brain, the jeans thing formed in the legs; any clot that formed there would stop moving at the heart if it reached it.

This being the top comment I saw when I opened the video really put a bummer over the whole thing ☹️

The water heater is pretty impressive. The jeans myth is not busted, its plausible, the Guy at 21:08 explain it.

What if someone had a pack of matches in their jeans while the horse is dragging them? I could see that happening and causing onlookers to think that the person's pants lit on fire due to friction alone.

35:07 was that a spark in those jeans?

Grant's jeans aren't that tight to begin with so I wonder if the result would've been different if he was wearing the super skinny jeans available today. They are already skin tight and if you shrink those, it might do the trick. On the dummy of course.

Nope. Denim is made of cotton. That´s what welders wear to ensure they won´t go up in flames... Also, the team will always have some safety measures in place for these tests. Poor safety measures (one tiny fire extinguisher on an ATV) means that the myth is busted beforehand. If this myth was at all plausible, Tory would at least have a fire suit on beneath that denim. More likely, they would let Buster test it first.

It is because it is made out of wood. Other places use reinforce concrete and ceramic, therefore are sturdy. Also they last longer.

And yet it ripped 2 layers of 2x4 beans in half and those are used worldwide for roofs, in fact on EU, they're not placed as closely together as in US making a EU roof more flimsy, as for concrete and reinforced concrete, if it's able to contain the rocket it would instead make the entire room or house an actual bomb because of the rapid expansion of water, aside from it being a bomb, anyone within that house would die almost instantly from being steamed alive or from have a fool body 3rd degree burn

RIP Grant. Didn't he die of a brain aneurysm? Which is caused by a blood clot... 😢

Maybe this is the episode that gave Grant the aneurism in the brain…blood clot moved from his legs to his brain over time until it killed him years later ?

the clot gottem in the end ... Myth confirmed?
