Defying Gravity: Levitating a Car | MythBusters Jr.
Ойын-сауық
Allie, Cannan, and Jesse set out to see if the humble Slinky toy actually hovered when dropped from a height. Using a series of weights and elastic mediums, their testing reaches a crescendo when they try to levitate a full-weight car!

i love that even when adam is surrounded by kids hes always the bigest kid when it comes to reacting to science
When that box-o-water came crashing down I thought about Roadrunner & Coyote cartoons.

I think we need to appreciate how terrifying it must have been for Adam and the crew when the payload didn't drop. Adam and Jamie have both said on multiple different occasions that the worst thing that can happen during a test is nothing, since you don't know where the failure point might be, and you're adding an element of unpredictability to such a dangerous stunt. And in this instance, it happened when he was surrounded by children.

Adam fakes delight way too much.
With the water tank the car was already visibly falling by frame 400.
An object in motion wants to stay in motion. An object at rest wants to stay at rest. The second drop was naturally going to be longer because the water wants to stay at rest when released and the rubber band is still pulling on the car after the water is released. So, the car should naturally stay up longer. This isn't gravity defying. It is physics. And physics is cool!

Would be a lot of fun discussing this in a physics classroom - all ideas I get for if I decide to become a physics teacher (if engineering turns out to suck). I haven't seen the rest of this episode, did they discuss the theory of it all or just go straight to smashing stuff? That's one of my biggest criticisms of Mythbusters all along, they often tend to go straight to smashing or blowing up stuff without really discussing the theoretical basis of the myth, and in many cases I think they don't set things up right because they don't really think about or understand such. Of course smashing and blowing up is a lot better television for most people, I'd enjoy the physics (and other science depending on the myth) talk as I am a huge nerd.

I really hope they’re doing mythbusters jr to see if people are still interested in mythbusters, to potentially bring it back.
I was flinching when the rubber band stretched 😁
That water thing was so heavy it almost looked like an effect in a movie
I love how the car bounced softly when it landed, and then the tank landed like... well... a tank! it didn't bounce at all
Well now there needs to be a show where we just crush cars with bungee cords and giant water containers. 😅
Next step: double the amount of bungee cords!

6:27 this reminds me at a cartoon. Like when the coyote gets hit by a weight :D
People 1000 years ago wondering what advances will happen 1000 years later......this video.
The car never defeated gravity, it was being pulled up by the elastic band while water tank was accelerating more than 1G
@ronnieindia77ify

OK??
I think the biggest issue with this isn't the weight at the top but the tensile of the cable you want something that can resist being stretched out and then have the weight at the top and you'll get a reaction. Other than that it'll never really work.
that cars not flying, it's falling with style
Now thats what you call a lowrider
I love this experiment! :-)
lol im doing this for a school project, and i have to watch the video
Ima car expert and this, was the perfect test subject.
great video! so now i wonder what if you added say double the weight on the top? 6,000lbs ontop and 3,000 on the bottom... would it "hover" more?
@Sisteelin
5 жыл бұрын
@The Elon Gamer The object at the bottom will never move up, the bungee is already pulled to the max tension, when the top object is released, the tension decreases because it moves down.
Now imagine some one was in the car on the final drop
Nice experiment
Now imagine that guy getting in the car after the first failed test and the tank just drops....
*NO VEHICLE WAS HARM DURING THIS EXPERIMENT*
One neat thing we see, is that a super hero with rubber powers could get some serious damage potential, with how the cord crushed the car roof on the first drop.
Physics is so exciting
6:26 that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen
Imagine getting rubber banded by that thing
I dont think i understand this experiment completely but if crushing a car is work, Im in the wrong bussiness
To me the second demonstration was basically how the Incredible Hulk can crush a car
it still drops, the center of gravity of the whole thing still drops normally
When the car came down it looked like final destination
Rip that poor 1994 Honda Preylude
I missed the old ones.
When the water tank hit the car it reminded me of the worker and the barrel of bricks.
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
This is something Mr Beast would do
This is literally Science Mr. Beast
Amazing experiment I love science
a little bit of explanation really should have been said... for instance that the reason the car is "levitating" is because of the tension still on the bungee after the initial release until it gets close enough to the car that the tension is no longer there and it falls faster and faster. the reason the weight at the top makes it better is because it is falling way slower making the bungee take way longer to release the tension and let the car fall faster. its the same thing for a human who is bungee jumping, if a human lets say cut the bungee as he or she was at the peak of the decent then their speed would be lowered enough so that the force pulling you to the ground is the same force pulling you up and at that moment you are safe as long as the ground is close, however lets say the bungee was cut at the top, well then the force of the bungee pulling you up would still be there until the bungee released all of its potential energy so you would "levitate" if only for just a few milliseconds
6:27 car: do you know the wa.. tank: NO MORE!!!!!!!!
Nothing beats the OG mythbusters

It definitely came out of a junkyard. It had no brakes, and for all we know either didn't have an engine or the engine was seized. One thing is for sure, production won't buy a car off of a used car lot and crush it with a massive tank of water. The car was past it's useful life and this show honored the car with a viking's death in one last display of awesomeness.

Everyone complaining about the kids, get over yourself. This is more than just for you, this is more than just Mythbusting. This is giving kids a viewpoint that even they can do science. Even if the adults do the larger ones, they're there learning, seeing what they could be doing in the future. I hate to break it to you, Adam isn't in to it for you, but for those kids, for other kids.
