"I'd like to donate my body to science for the good of mankind" ends up being sold and smashed on TV. (sad trombone playing)

Those are not real skulls. It says cast under each one of them, they are just casted from a real one.
It’s bizarre that there’s a human bone shop and they’re doing this on real people’s body parts.

Well, that is Murica for you. You seem to be able to buy what ever you want. Btw, i can't get over the fact that there are places where you can go as a tourist and look at stacked bones. In Paris you got this. And in Sedlec near Kutna Hora in Czech republic you also have a very nice display. And what is the most crazy is that they have put some of the skulls on display close enough for people to write their name on. And people actually write their name on it. In Sedlec they have put them so to show how ridiculous some people can be, by writing names on it. As a way to hopefully get a bit of respect from the visitors back so that they wont continu the nonsense.

29:08 I would think that having surfaces that the wind can "grab" would increase damage whereas a building with nothing for the wind to grab would not even be effected (like a pyramid shaped house).

The house is not nearly as simple as a box, the internal walls which would trap the air and the results would not be as predictable, you'd have to test house on house basis to figure out the air flow and how it impacts a house. I'm sure for some houses you'd like to open windows but for most it's either neutral or catastrophic decision to open windows.

I think another issue is that it's supposed to be a 1/2 scale house but they used 2x4s so it would be like 4x8s on a full sized house. As well, a 1/2 scale house is technically 1/8th the size of a real house, and would therefore have 1/8th as much external surface area, and because of the square cube law the wood is proportionally stronger for the size of the house.
44:32 The temperatures mentioned are not correct. The vast majority of the probe is sticking out pf the trunk, which gets covered in liquid nitrogen. This is what it is actually reading. I wonder if a tree like this could explode if it was dunked in LN2, so the water doesn't have time to move to the air pockets. Or if they used a big single stream instead of multiple smaller ones. The effect of flash freezing could be a lot bigger.

They failed to scale down the wooden beams in the house build. 1/2 size house needed 1/2 the size for the beams etc...
If opening the windows helps in a hurricane, I'll let the debris open them for me 😂 I'm not getting in a room with windows if one hit my place

A real human head! ... Skull.
Try artillery and taller trees. That might do. I mean, the WWII heroes can't be lying about trees exploding all over their heads from artillery...
MB’rs stand behind a blast shield while LN guy stands only a few feet away.
So i guess the reason why i dont remember this Episode is ether because ive not seen it, or it never aired in Germany because of real human skulls.
26:49 results would depend on the hardness/brittleness of the bones.
So what's the deal with the channel's main page throwing a 404, how can I see all the videos ? :(

Wrong tree. Pine and Fir are arctic trees, made by nature to withstand cold. They don't explode. Try Birch..
wouldnt a xmas tree have electric lights baubles and tinsel? would that have given the necessary elements if it was plugged in?

Would a tree from a tropical climate (aka, a climate that never freezes) react differently?
@airi9673

most likely not since another fact she forgot to mention is that only the outermost layer of the trunk actually contain large amounts of liquids, while the inner parts are already dead and barely contain any liquid, almost all the water they evaporated was from the leaves which do contain more than 90% water on most trees
And this is why I only donate my organs, and not my body to "science".
This is actually Season 7 Episode 16.
American windows are so awful and backwards

Let's remember: Pigs have a "leathered" face instead of this beautiful and thin skin we have.

I wonder how this christmas tree myth would have worked with trees that ar not designed for cold climates like palm tree or something?

To freeze something thoroughly in N2, you have to leave it in until the N2 stops boiling. That's how I fit machine parts at work. When the boiling stops, the part you submerged, reached almost the temperature of the N2 surrounding it

But also pig heads are a LOT more sturdy than human heads. It's one of the few areas where they are very different anatomically. Pigs have heavily reinforced snouts which they use to dig and also use in battle. They also have a much heavier skull with thick powerful jaws and a sturdy triangular shape.

@@MrMarinus18 That test was terrible. In the actual scene her head was only half-submerged and she was screaming, nostrils wide, mouth agape. She presumably inhaled a bunch of nitrogen, so her head would be freezing from the inside as well. Not to mention that her head hit a 90 degree corner on a steel table, and also only the front half of her head shattered in the scene. Doing a side by side comparison the 5-second freeze was the one that was the closest to the movie. It looks more like a frozen watermelon in the movie to be honest. The movie takes place in 25 century and all the characters grew up on a different planet. Space travel is fairly common as they are going on a field trip to the now abandoned Earth; who is to say they have the same bone density as people on Earth today... They didnt really mention exactly how much force they were hitting with. Grant said 1000 pounds, but also said 20 psi in the piston. How much inertia is in the hammer, how fast is it moving?
Is Forrest Masters married? Or is he a bachelor Masters, Ph.D?
they didnt have to do all that they couldve just used a chicken wing
Eye lashes or mascara?
Kari: "Hate to get SAPPY here" Well, shouldn't have been that close to a freshly shredded tree then.
😂
Fun fact- water expands by 9% when frozen. That means it also becomes less dense which is why ice bergs float - it's lighter than liquid water and completely filled water bottles break in a freezer.
did a joke go over my head or they actually used a real skull?

It’s a real human skull. The ones in USA are *usually sold by the deceased via their estate/will. Or donated to science. *some absolutely are stolen. But mythbusters do have researchers and are unlikely to purchase illegal remains. They typically get their bones from the Bone Room in CA. There is a black market for bones, of all kinds. Bone merchants in India are notorious. Check out Medlife Crisis, a KZread channel for a video on the topic.

Water damage is still an issue, I live in Iran and although most houses are built out of bricks and/or concrete, water damaged houses account for a lot of casualties when disasters happen. We don't have hurricanes, but I'd think american houses are way less devestating during an earthquake, even if they have water damage.
