1 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:14,660 On this episode of Mythbusters, it's a botanical bonanza when Jamie and Adam 2 00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:17,400 shoot wind at record speeds. I love this job. 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,280 I think we might exceed Mach 1 on this. To test the myth that in a storm, a 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,980 piece of straw can slice clean through a palm tree trunk. 5 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520 That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. 6 00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:35,760 And meanwhile, to find out if plants have feelings, Grant and Tori embrace 7 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,760 inner status. 8 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:42,770 And convert the workshop into a horticultural house of horrors. Do you 9 00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:44,890 screaming? Science isn't always pretty. 10 00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:47,810 Who are the Mythbusters? 11 00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:49,610 Adam Savage. 12 00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:53,970 And Jamie Heineman. 13 00:00:54,230 --> 00:00:55,570 Aren't Tracer rounds illegal? 14 00:00:56,790 --> 00:01:00,410 Between them, over 30 years special effects experience. 15 00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:02,630 That's what I'm talking about! 16 00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:04,970 Joining them, Tori Bellacci. 17 00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,190 What could go wrong? 18 00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:08,870 Carrie Byron. Going for total annihilation. 19 00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:10,290 And Grant Imahara. 20 00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:11,930 I'm bumping as fast as I can. 21 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:13,710 They don't just tell the myths. 22 00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:16,850 They put them to the test. 23 00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:33,580 is what I've been wanting to do since we started doing this show. It is that in 24 00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:37,480 a tropical storm, the winds can become so powerful that they'll take a piece of 25 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,020 straw and give it enough energy to drive it right through a palm tree. 26 00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:46,000 That sounds like it's right down our alley. Small objects accelerated to 27 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,220 really high speeds and see what they do, what kind of damage we can achieve. 28 00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:50,900 I can barely wait. 29 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,940 Storms can be incredibly powerful, but can they propel a fragile piece of straw 30 00:01:57,940 --> 00:02:00,300 so fast it becomes a flying missile? 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960 At the wind speeds they reach, anything is possible. 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,480 Any guesses? 33 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,920 200 miles an hour? 34 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:09,199 Keep going. 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,500 250 miles per hour? 36 00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,100 Nope. You got to keep going. 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,540 The highest ever recorded wind speed was taken using Doppler radar in Oklahoma 38 00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:23,080 City in 1999, and they got 318 miles an hour. 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,240 No way. I don't know how we're going to do that. We could use a jet, but it 40 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,820 would burn everything to ash while we tried to use it. 41 00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:34,680 No, it's simpler than that. I have a trick up my sleeve, and it involves a 42 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,860 really big air gun. 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,620 I like it. 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,940 We are arming the chicken cannon. 45 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:44,660 Jamie and Adam made a cock -a -doodle -do of an air shooter before. 46 00:02:46,340 --> 00:02:53,200 When they tested the splat power of projecting thawed versus frozen chickens 47 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,400 the windshields of planes. 48 00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:01,840 Hurtling foul at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, they set a new low in in 49 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,180 -flight food service standards. 50 00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:09,400 For this myth, they have to more than double the oomph of the chicken 51 00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:10,660 That's the stuff. 52 00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:14,710 But the shooter doesn't need to be bigger to squeeze the air out faster. 53 00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:19,390 The difference here is that this is going to be much longer and it's going 54 00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:23,150 much smaller because what we need is velocity, really high velocity. 55 00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:28,330 The plan is to get an air compressor, attach it to a metal tank with a release 56 00:03:28,330 --> 00:03:33,850 valve, attach that to a very long pipe that will act as the barrel, and at the 57 00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:35,550 end of it all, place the target. 58 00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:38,110 A very tall, swaying palm. 59 00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:44,790 Jamie lays out a five -foot -long, four -inch diameter metal pipe. This will be 60 00:03:44,790 --> 00:03:48,710 the main body of the shooter that will contain the compressed air just before 61 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:49,710 it's released. 62 00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:55,410 Then he screws on a device that will tell them what PSI, or pounds per square 63 00:03:55,410 --> 00:03:56,910 inch, of pressure they're at. 64 00:03:57,570 --> 00:04:01,990 We have to have a gauge on it to measure the pressure. That will be this device 65 00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:04,410 right here, which will attach to the pipe. 66 00:04:05,859 --> 00:04:10,340 Adam fashions a simple loader for the ammo by cutting a slot into a piece of 67 00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:15,240 pipe and fitting a cylindrical plastic tube over the top that simply slides 68 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,240 and forth. 69 00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:20,920 I'm making what's called a breech loader. Basically, it'll allow it to pop 70 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,340 whatever we're going to fire out of it, whether it's straw or toothpicks or 71 00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:30,000 anything, and close it back up. With Adam stuck in the breech, Jamie adds a 72 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,300 release valve that has a lightning -fast electronic trigger. 73 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:35,300 It's one of his most loved toys. 74 00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:39,700 and has a very long name. This particular thing is one of my favorite 75 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,480 and it's called a pilot -assisted diaphragm valve. 76 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,580 And that means that it's kind of in a state of almost being ready to trip, and 77 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:50,780 then when you hit the trigger, all of a sudden it goes pop, and all the air goes 78 00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:55,540 through. Air pressure alone won't give the straw the thrust it needs. To get 79 00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:56,840 enough momentum going... 80 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,500 it's going to need a really good run -up on a very long track, the barrel. 81 00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:06,740 Unfortunately, we're limited to about 150 psi here in the shop. Our solution 82 00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:12,040 that is to have a massively long barrel, and that will give us the velocity that 83 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,660 we need by the time we get to the end of the barrel. It should be going quite 84 00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:19,520 fast. Jamie and Adam start to connect lengths of half -inch diameter copper 85 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,520 end -to -end. 86 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,380 Piece by piece, they solder on down the workshop floor. 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,300 But just how long does this super stretched -out straw airstrip need to 88 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,920 Hey, that's enough. 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,959 One more. 90 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,500 No, come on. We've got 60 feet here. We're going to go for the max sooner or 91 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:37,580 later. Might as well do it now. 92 00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:39,100 Okay. 93 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:45,060 What the hay? They extend it out even more and take it all the way to 80 feet. 94 00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:50,620 With a barrel this size, the straw may streak down the middle so fast it breaks 95 00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:51,439 some records. 96 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,800 I'm a little nervous to say this right now, but... 97 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,460 I think we might exceed Mach 1 on this. 98 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Now they've got the length, they have to make it straight. 99 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,360 The more we can eliminate any bends in the system, the more efficiency we'll 100 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,860 out of it. And by efficiency, I mean insane amounts of speed. 101 00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,020 Here's my laser. 102 00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:14,320 To get the pipe to line up just right, they're going to use one of Adam's 103 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,040 favorite toys now, a laser. Need to go up just a tiny bit. 104 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,080 Stop. Stop. 105 00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:23,560 That looks just about right. 106 00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:27,380 That is pretty darn good. 107 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,320 With the kinks all ironed out, all that's left to do is cement it into 108 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,820 While Jamie gets gluing, Adam goes to fetch the target, the palm tree. 109 00:06:39,210 --> 00:06:43,210 Hi. Hi, Dale. Yes, sir. Adam Savage, nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you. 110 00:06:43,330 --> 00:06:48,610 Owner of the Neon Palm Nursery, Dale Matyska, has been fascinated by the 111 00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:53,870 allure of these tropical plants for 30 years and is an oasis of information. 112 00:06:54,110 --> 00:06:59,490 There's a myth going around that in a strong enough wind, a piece of straw can 113 00:06:59,490 --> 00:07:03,650 be driven right through the trunk of a palm tree. Have you ever heard this? 114 00:07:03,870 --> 00:07:04,890 I believe it's true. 115 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:08,570 Really? Oh, yes. It's a different kind of trunk than most trees. 116 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,080 They have what's called vascular bundles of fibers, and they're sort of, if you 117 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,860 can imagine, like a braided cable. 118 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,900 So you're saying it's actually a property of the palm trunk that perhaps 119 00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:22,280 it more permeable than we think of a normal tree trunk. 120 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,480 This is correct. 121 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,260 So palms have very permeable trunks. Good insight, Dale. Having thousands of 122 00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:33,800 different kinds on site, Adam gets touchy -feely. Wow, what's this hole 123 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,360 Woodpecker. From big... 124 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:37,700 That's awesome. 125 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Too small. 126 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,140 This is a dwarf palmetto. 127 00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:47,580 To just right. Let's check this one out. It's Washingtonia robusta. Is this the 128 00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:49,400 one you're actually thinking of letting us work with? 129 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,880 Yes. 130 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,200 Cool. 131 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,780 It's a big boy. Yeah. 132 00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,700 Big boy is an understatement. 133 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,420 Okay, ready for takeoff. 134 00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:05,860 The palm is nearly 20 feet tall and a robusta 3 ,000 pounds. 135 00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:09,829 Look at that. 136 00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:13,710 So, will Jamie be surprised at the size of Adam's trunk? 137 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:15,710 Jamie's reaction. 138 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:18,810 Oh, God, I hope I get this right, because then you can cut him right back 139 00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:20,170 back. He's going to go. 140 00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:24,510 What did you do? 141 00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:32,429 It may have seemed like a good idea at the store, but back home, the rush of 142 00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:34,350 Adam's major purchase is fading. 143 00:08:34,669 --> 00:08:37,950 The palm has to go at the end of the barrel of the straw shooter. 144 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,220 All the way at the back of the workshop. 145 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,500 I mean, I foresee just heartache and backache all the way down and all the 146 00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:46,500 back with this thing. 147 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,460 Adam, you may be psychic. 148 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,320 First things first, we're just going to drag it back. They put a chain around 149 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,860 its massive ball of roots and start to lift it out. But it's so bottom heavy, 150 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,740 it's hard to balance. Now, what do you want to... You're not hurt, are you? 151 00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:04,820 No, I'm not hurt. Okay. 152 00:09:07,349 --> 00:09:11,450 Thankfully, Adam's not hurting, but getting the palm in place is a painful 153 00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:12,450 experience. 154 00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:14,810 Sounds like a horror show up there. 155 00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:20,710 Finally, they get it upright and have a clear passage to the end. 156 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:22,790 Am I clear to my left? 157 00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:24,510 You're in the corridor. It's beautiful. 158 00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:28,390 You're fine. You don't have to steer that way. You can even out. 159 00:09:29,450 --> 00:09:31,690 That's good. I think you can lower it down. 160 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:35,230 Touchdown. There you go. 161 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:39,760 My guess is that's going to be perfect. All we've got to do is shave off this a 162 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960 little bit right here, but we're right on target. It's just beautiful. 163 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,900 It's a palm tree, guns aimed at it. 164 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,320 That's perfect. 165 00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:50,860 Sound the trumpets. The time has come for the boys to blow wind. 166 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,760 Okay, guys. 167 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,100 Plants. Have feelings. 168 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,480 And as an emotional response to a threatening situation, they can even 169 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Is this a myth? 170 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:18,860 Yeah. Have you heard this one? You know, I do remember there was a guy who took 171 00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:22,380 plants and hooked them up to a polygraph machine and did some tests. 172 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:27,580 In fact, back in the late 60s and early 70s, he was a world polygraph expert. He 173 00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:31,980 developed this theory that plants, eggs, yogurt, all these things have... 174 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,760 A way of communicating on an emotional level that we don't even perceive or 175 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,980 understand. The concept of primary perception may be a little out there for 176 00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:45,580 people. It means that all living organisms on Earth, from a whale, a 177 00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:51,800 being, a plant, right down to a single cell, is interconnected, able to feel 178 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,300 sorts of emotions and to communicate with ESP. 179 00:10:56,780 --> 00:11:01,500 The theory was developed by the founder of the FBI's polygraph unit, Cleve 180 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,820 Baxter. I've been reading the experiments of Cleve Baxter. 181 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,560 When he thought about burning the plant, the needle on the polygraph jumped as 182 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,160 if the plant could actually read his mind. 183 00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:16,620 To put his theory to the test, the team is going to recreate some of his 184 00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:17,620 original experiments. 185 00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:22,860 First, to see if vegetation really does have feelings, they're going to get a 186 00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:28,120 plant, hook it up to a polygraph, subject it to physical and mental 187 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,320 see if they get a reaction. 188 00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:36,540 Brad heads off to the nursery to get their victims and take shop assistant 189 00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:38,240 along as some extra muscle. 190 00:11:39,050 --> 00:11:42,190 That one looks like it's giving you the evil eye, dude. I know. I'm going to 191 00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:43,190 kick this pink one. 192 00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:48,550 At the Tropical Indoor Plants from Africa Isle, plant carer Cindy picks out 193 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:52,710 Dracaenas, the same species used in the original Baxter experiments. 194 00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:57,050 We were wondering if the plants that we take are going to have some sort of 195 00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,050 separation anxiety. 196 00:11:58,450 --> 00:12:02,610 Well, they shouldn't unless you put them in an extreme environment right away. 197 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:04,670 Well, have you ever seen the show? 198 00:12:05,270 --> 00:12:06,470 Yeah, yeah. 199 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,500 They unload the unsuspecting plans into the truck. 200 00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:13,080 Gentle, Grant. 201 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,820 Keep your thoughts pure. 202 00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:18,060 Hard when you put a plastic bag over their head. 203 00:12:18,340 --> 00:12:20,420 And Terry is giddy with excitement. 204 00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:25,320 If you could talk to the plants, just imagine it. 205 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,940 Converting with an orange carrot. 206 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,040 In fact, he seems a little touched by the sun. 207 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,120 Just imagine it. 208 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,820 What would you say to an onion? 209 00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,310 What would you say to a baby Karen? 210 00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:41,570 We will pray for you, Terrence. We will pray. 211 00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:43,770 I feel closer to the plant kingdom already. 212 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:49,230 With the plants crossed off the Baxter grocery list, the next item they need 213 00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:51,710 just arrived at the workshop's special delivery. 214 00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:54,550 Grant, do you know how long we've wanted one of these? 215 00:12:54,930 --> 00:12:55,930 Yes. 216 00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,690 And I don't mean a box. 217 00:12:58,650 --> 00:13:02,130 One genuine Stolting 22600. 218 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,880 I hear something rattling already. 219 00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:11,120 The same model polygraph used in the, you guessed it, original Baxter 220 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,960 experiments. Oh, sweet. 221 00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:16,320 I still meet the parents. I know how these things work. 222 00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:18,560 Ever done time in prison, Jack? 223 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,160 When humans are in situations of stress, such as telling a lie to someone, the 224 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,860 theory is there are often changes to their body. Their heart rate goes up, 225 00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:30,860 they sweat more. 226 00:13:31,230 --> 00:13:36,810 It's the GSR, or galvanic skin response component of the polygraph, that 227 00:13:36,810 --> 00:13:40,790 measures the amount of sweat. It does this by putting out a tiny electrical 228 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:44,290 current that monitors any change in the skin's conductivity. 229 00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:50,550 Baxter took the GSR electrodes from the polygraph, attached them to a leaf, and 230 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:53,870 said he could tap into the currents that flow into our green friends. 231 00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:59,690 But before they hook up their new plaything to a plant, they have to test 232 00:13:59,790 --> 00:14:04,810 What I'm about to do now is prep the machine to hook up to Tori so that we 233 00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:05,810 see if it's working. 234 00:14:06,170 --> 00:14:08,310 Tori is already breaking a sweat. 235 00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:09,650 Why am I nervous? 236 00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:10,890 This is ridiculous. 237 00:14:11,630 --> 00:14:13,810 Detective Imahara begins. 238 00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:16,170 Do you drive in the state of California? 239 00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:18,210 Yes. 240 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:22,930 How'd I do? Did I pass that one? Okay. Do you work on a science -based reality 241 00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:24,270 show called Mythbusters? 242 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,120 You can call it work. 243 00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,240 Have you ever lied about your egg? 244 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,860 Absolutely not. 245 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,080 They check the results, and Tori is caught like a rat in a trap. Number six, 246 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,780 have you ever lied about your age? Your galvanic skin response peaked there. 247 00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:48,560 I said no, right? 248 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,960 I said no because I have lied about my age before. 249 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,800 The only time I guess I would lie about my age. 250 00:14:55,470 --> 00:14:58,810 Maybe if I was in a situation, let's say like spring break. 251 00:14:59,110 --> 00:15:01,970 Wow, what integrity you have, Torrey. 252 00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:03,730 We've got some questions. 253 00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:05,010 Burning questions. 254 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:10,210 To make doubly sure the polygraph is working right, it's Grant's turn to take 255 00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:13,630 some heat. Do you find quantum physics easy for you? 256 00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:19,630 No. Has your GPA ever dropped below a 4 .0? 257 00:15:21,550 --> 00:15:22,550 Yes. 258 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,500 Have you ever made or wanted to make a female robot? 259 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,300 Answer the question, Mr. Imahara. 260 00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:39,740 It's a simple question, Grant. 261 00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:43,520 Uh... No. 262 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,760 Grant says no, but the needle says yes. 263 00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:48,500 Yes. Yes. 264 00:15:48,940 --> 00:15:53,540 When I asked Grant about whether or not he'd ever wanted to or built a female 265 00:15:53,540 --> 00:15:54,960 robot, his, uh... 266 00:15:55,370 --> 00:16:00,130 The needle went off the chart, and I'm a little disturbed by that. 267 00:16:00,390 --> 00:16:06,050 So the machine has exposed Tori as being sensitive about his middle age, and 268 00:16:06,050 --> 00:16:08,070 Grant has a thing for replicants. 269 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:13,430 Seems like the polygraph has detected their secrets and lies just fine. So now 270 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:15,970 they can go ahead and hook it up to a plant. 271 00:16:16,250 --> 00:16:18,410 All right, Grant, I got our guinea pig. 272 00:16:22,430 --> 00:16:27,290 Back at Tropical Central, Adam and Jamie are testing if storm force wind can 273 00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:30,050 blow a piece of straw clean through a palm tree. 274 00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:34,830 They've built a giant air shooter and are ready to put it to the test. 275 00:16:35,510 --> 00:16:37,070 They groom their target. 276 00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:39,310 Basket weaving is the primitive people's favorite class. 277 00:16:40,910 --> 00:16:43,570 Then Adam preps their projectiles. 278 00:16:44,270 --> 00:16:48,630 We've got straw and hay and rigid plant material. We're going to bundle these 279 00:16:48,630 --> 00:16:52,670 up, fire a bunch at the same time. That'll help them each provide each 280 00:16:52,670 --> 00:16:57,050 with some stability in the tube. It will also give us multiple chances to hit 281 00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:57,789 our target. 282 00:16:57,790 --> 00:17:02,250 A high -speed camera is set up to tape the action, a chronometer to record the 283 00:17:02,250 --> 00:17:05,849 speed, and all is ready to go. We are set to fire. 284 00:17:06,790 --> 00:17:08,150 Or maybe not. 285 00:17:08,450 --> 00:17:10,270 Jamie has some bad news. 286 00:17:10,569 --> 00:17:11,569 What is up? 287 00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:15,589 Well... We have a bit of a sticky wicket here. 288 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:16,608 All right. 289 00:17:16,609 --> 00:17:21,730 We're being told to pull these palms, and we don't want to use them. 290 00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:27,450 According to the higher -ups, the palm Adam chose isn't a species that grows in 291 00:17:27,450 --> 00:17:31,830 tropical storm territory, so they don't want to use it because it wouldn't be a 292 00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:36,510 true test of the myth. So all Adam and Janie's sweat and toil getting it into 293 00:17:36,510 --> 00:17:38,250 the workshop was for nothing. 294 00:17:39,610 --> 00:17:42,850 All of that, we're yanking that thing. We're not even going to try and fire 295 00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:43,850 it at all. 296 00:17:44,290 --> 00:17:45,290 Apparently not. 297 00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:50,510 Like, we're to stop even though the very next thing we have to do is load that 298 00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:54,290 thing with air, put some straw in it, and fire it at that thing. It's about 299 00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:55,290 minutes of work. 300 00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:57,350 That is our instructions. 301 00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:01,090 I'm just going to stand here and wait for the problem to go away. 302 00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:04,690 Okay. Jamie and Adam are not pleased. 303 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,800 So after three hours of loading it in and setting it up, four hours at this 304 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,980 point, we're now going to pull it for another couple of hours and send it back 305 00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:18,400 and get some other palm tree in here that does satisfy production. 306 00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,000 And it's ridiculous to me. 307 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,380 While they're waiting, and to blow off some frustration, at least they can do 308 00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:30,880 some test shots to see if the shooter works and can reach 318 miles per hour, 309 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,600 the world record wind speed. 310 00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:34,230 Let's fire a cotton ball. 311 00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,570 Okay. For the practice run, they're using a cotton ball. 312 00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:41,330 All right, now I'm going to go watch the thing exit the barrel, okay? Okay, 313 00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:42,450 charging. 314 00:18:43,030 --> 00:18:48,810 They charge the air compressor up to 80 PSI, about half its power, and are set 315 00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:52,490 to fire. 80, 3, 2, 1. 316 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:55,850 That came out beautifully. 317 00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:58,230 It looked like it was going pretty quick from here. 318 00:18:58,650 --> 00:19:00,010 They check their numbers. 319 00:19:00,230 --> 00:19:02,130 We always knew they were full of wind. 320 00:19:02,490 --> 00:19:05,030 But the power and accuracy of their blow is impressive. 321 00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:09,710 That was perfect. That was 321 miles per hour. 322 00:19:09,910 --> 00:19:13,150 This is off by 1 % of the speed we were hoping to hit. 323 00:19:14,690 --> 00:19:19,130 The very first test that we did, 300 miles an hour, give or take. 324 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:23,570 It's almost like we knew exactly what we were doing. 325 00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:28,150 Having got the shooter right, Jamie and Adam are now happy campers again and 326 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:31,750 take the Palm all the way back out of the workshop without a grumble. 327 00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:34,100 You need a push? 328 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:38,800 Two highly professional mythbusters at work who know who writes the paycheck. 329 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,160 There you go. 330 00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,960 Breathe, Adam. They've ordered you a beautiful new tree. 331 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:56,220 Primary perception is an open -the -portals -of -your -mind kind of myth 332 00:19:56,220 --> 00:19:59,340 all forms of life have feelings and can read minds. 333 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,380 Recreating the experiments of primary perception guru Cleve Baxter, Grant and 334 00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:07,880 Tori are using a polygraph. 335 00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:10,680 Their first test is going to be on this plant. 336 00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:16,560 Tori makes a special screw -on clamp to secure the electrode from the polygraph 337 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,080 to the leaf of the dracaena. 338 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,160 Don't worry, little buddy. We're not going to do anything mean to you. 339 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Yet. No, dude. 340 00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:28,480 Sorry, we're not supposed to freak it out? No. 341 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,820 Okay. To help block out any accidental electrical interference that could 342 00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:38,480 the polygraph, like a cell phone going off or a plane flying overhead, they're 343 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,020 going to conduct the test inside a shipping container. 344 00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:44,820 I'll take it into the container, which we know acts as a really good shield 345 00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:45,960 radio frequency interference. 346 00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:52,160 The camera crew, everybody else will be outside, so all that camera equipment's 347 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,700 going to be out there recording us remotely. 348 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,860 Grant and Tori clear their minds. Let's go to our happy place. 349 00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:00,920 And become one with nature. 350 00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:05,980 Definitely a little deflection there. 351 00:21:06,260 --> 00:21:09,840 A little flap on the leaf caused the needle on the polygraph to move. 352 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,380 Could it mean the plant is feeling fear and pain? 353 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,260 The plant's kind of twitching. Because he knows what's coming. 354 00:21:18,220 --> 00:21:22,460 To up the out factor, Tori pulls out the heavy artillery. 355 00:21:24,910 --> 00:21:26,530 Whoa, huge spike. 356 00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:30,490 The needle moved way more when the strength of the attack was increased. 357 00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:36,450 Each time we hit the plant with the fire extinguisher, the needle pinned. 358 00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:42,390 The boys are baffled, but move on to test if plants can read minds. 359 00:21:43,030 --> 00:21:47,190 This time, Torrey's not going to touch the plant at all. He's just going to 360 00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:48,450 imagine hurting it. 361 00:21:48,930 --> 00:21:52,550 Think about something specific to this plant. 362 00:21:53,370 --> 00:21:57,690 And I want you to really, you have to really intend to do it. Like, I am going 363 00:21:57,690 --> 00:21:59,830 to do this. I'm going to kick your butt. 364 00:22:00,190 --> 00:22:01,470 Ready? All right. 365 00:22:02,510 --> 00:22:07,610 At a good baseline, I gave it a mental picture, ensuring it burning on fire. 366 00:22:11,290 --> 00:22:12,450 The needle jumped. 367 00:22:13,230 --> 00:22:14,230 Are you serious? 368 00:22:15,010 --> 00:22:16,010 Stop. 369 00:22:17,290 --> 00:22:18,290 No way. 370 00:22:18,610 --> 00:22:19,610 Tori had a thought. 371 00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:21,610 And the plant reacted. 372 00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:25,310 What the heck was that? 373 00:22:25,570 --> 00:22:26,570 I don't know. 374 00:22:26,770 --> 00:22:31,370 Okay, you're not touching the plant. No, I'm not touching anything. 375 00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:35,810 All I'm doing is I'm staring it down and imagining it in flames. 376 00:22:37,010 --> 00:22:42,350 Is the Dracaena tapping into Tori's consciousness and terrified of being 377 00:22:42,930 --> 00:22:47,230 Okay, that's... I mean, I'm not saying I believe this, but... 378 00:22:47,850 --> 00:22:51,350 Yeah, yeah. It's kind of hard to dispute the ink. 379 00:22:51,730 --> 00:22:56,490 Even engineer Grant, man of science, is taking off his skeptic cap. 380 00:22:56,710 --> 00:23:01,510 If I were to say that it was a random occurrence, there'd be some pretty 381 00:23:01,510 --> 00:23:03,350 coincidences going on. 382 00:23:03,790 --> 00:23:05,630 It boggles the mind! 383 00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:10,530 They unboggle themselves enough to decide on their next move. 384 00:23:11,370 --> 00:23:15,890 They got some mind -blowing results, but moving and talking so close to the 385 00:23:15,890 --> 00:23:19,810 polygraph may have been causing vibrations that made the needle move. 386 00:23:20,050 --> 00:23:25,570 This time, they're going to repeat the ESP test, but with themselves outside 387 00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:31,190 container. This experiment is plant inside container, no human inside the 388 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:36,050 container. And Tari is going to keep his mental strikes a secret. That way, 389 00:23:36,190 --> 00:23:40,010 Grant won't be influenced when he looks for any changes in the thin blue line. 390 00:23:41,199 --> 00:23:46,560 Jedi Tori sums up all his powers and shows no mental mercy. 391 00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:52,240 Attack one. Hard to tell what he's thinking. 392 00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:54,600 He could just be constipated. 393 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:03,040 Attack two. Again, no idea, but he's obviously one sick, sick puppy. 394 00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:06,200 Attack three. 395 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,840 Why is he smiling? 396 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,120 Me thinks Tori is enjoying this a little too much. 397 00:24:13,180 --> 00:24:14,440 We're running this experiment. 398 00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:18,500 I'm trying to keep the plant on its toes. I didn't want to just give it the 399 00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,140 mental attack each time. 400 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,920 Okay, that's 15 minutes. 401 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:30,060 Okay. The guys compare notes, and Grant learns a lot about Tori's state of mind. 402 00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:37,260 At minute four to minute four, 45 seconds, I give it an angry 403 00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:41,310 attack. An angry attack is just I'm mad at the plant. I don't necessarily want 404 00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:42,189 to kill it. 405 00:24:42,190 --> 00:24:48,990 Minute 5 and 30 seconds to 6 minutes, I give it an evil attack. 406 00:24:50,130 --> 00:24:52,330 The evil attack, I'm ready to destroy it. 407 00:24:52,550 --> 00:24:56,170 So angry, you're just mad, but you're not going to hurt it. 408 00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:59,270 Well, I'm going to hurt it. I'm just not going to completely destroy it. 409 00:25:00,490 --> 00:25:04,990 At minute 9 to 9 .30. 410 00:25:05,530 --> 00:25:06,530 Okay. 411 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,360 It was a happy attack. 412 00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:16,820 What's a happy attack? A happy attack is being really nice to the plant, hugging 413 00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:20,500 it, putting it in a nice greenhouse, making it feel wanted. 414 00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:25,800 His methods may have been a little kooky, but Torrey meant serious 415 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,320 has his series of inspired attacks made a mark on the paper? 416 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,140 Just to look at the data. 417 00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:36,330 The evil attack did not intimidate it. In fact, it's exactly the same as the 418 00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:37,329 happy attack. 419 00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:41,050 Angry attack got a little bit of fluctuation. That is a possible thing. 420 00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:46,070 The polygraph didn't react to every one of Tari's assaults, but there was a 421 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:47,810 response to his angry attack. 422 00:25:48,150 --> 00:25:53,850 So if we total up all the responses to stimuli inside of the container, 35 % of 423 00:25:53,850 --> 00:25:56,650 the time, the plant responded to stimuli. 424 00:25:57,290 --> 00:26:00,930 With us outside of the container, 28 % of the time. 425 00:26:01,390 --> 00:26:04,570 The plant responded to Tori's psychic stimuli. 426 00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:10,150 So there was less needle response with the guys outside the container, but 427 00:26:10,150 --> 00:26:14,390 enough to keep Baxter's theory that all life is interconnected alive. 428 00:26:15,610 --> 00:26:17,870 This is weird stuff, man. 429 00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:28,880 To test the myth that in a storm, a piece of straw can hit a palm tree trunk 430 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,020 hard it can come out the other side, Jamie and Adam only needed three things. 431 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,520 Straw. Check. 432 00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:39,940 Three. An air shooter that can reach record speeds. 433 00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:41,340 Check. 434 00:26:41,660 --> 00:26:42,780 And a palm tree. 435 00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:44,380 Uh -oh. 436 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:49,900 After setting up a massive 3 ,000 -pound palm, the producer got them to pull it 437 00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:50,900 out. 438 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,900 Seems it didn't fit strict myth -busting standards. 439 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:03,280 There are about 2 ,600 different kinds of palms in the world. But the big guy 440 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,860 wants a species that can only be found in a balmy tropical paradise. 441 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,640 Hula girl not included. 442 00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:13,880 When you think of a palm tree, when everybody thinks of a palm tree, they 443 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,640 of a long, thin trunk with coconuts at the top. 444 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,660 That's called a coconut palm. 445 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:23,840 What we've got here is the best analog to a coconut palm. It's a queen palm. It 446 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,100 grows in California, and it is the closest cousin to the coconut palm that 447 00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:29,100 could obtain. 448 00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:33,960 The right species of palm, the right kind of projectile, the right amount of 449 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,899 wind. 450 00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:36,680 Ideal straw -spitten condition. 451 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,340 So we have built the fastest air gun we have ever built on the show. It's going 452 00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:42,780 precisely the speed we want. 453 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,800 Do you think it's going to work? 454 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,680 I don't know. There have been studies done using 2x4s where they only got them 455 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,740 up to around 100 miles an hour, and they went through several layers of plywood 456 00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:54,280 and even cinderblock walls. 457 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,420 To get something as light as a piece of straw to travel right through and come 458 00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:03,980 out the other side of something as solid as a palm tree, the key could be speed. 459 00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:09,020 The faster an object travels, the more force it has. With enough of a push, 460 00:28:09,140 --> 00:28:13,320 perhaps even a featherweight stalk of straw could become a heavyweight 461 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,320 projectile. 462 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,220 That's the theory. Now to find out. 463 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:21,400 Now we're going to see what kind of damage real straw does to a palm tree. 464 00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:24,760 The ammo is loaded and wadded with a cotton ball. 465 00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:29,680 The wadding will equalize the air pressure behind the straw as it flies, 466 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,920 hits the palm evenly when it comes out. 467 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,680 Ready to go. 468 00:28:34,370 --> 00:28:35,370 Pressurizing. 469 00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:38,710 80. Go ahead. 470 00:28:39,130 --> 00:28:42,430 Firing straw in 3, 2, 1. 471 00:28:45,010 --> 00:28:47,890 I love this job. 472 00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:53,710 The straw shoots down the barrel and slams into the trunk. But did it break 473 00:28:53,710 --> 00:28:54,910 through to the other side? 474 00:28:55,530 --> 00:28:57,630 That one looks really serious. 475 00:28:59,110 --> 00:29:01,110 Dude. That's a good quarter inch. 476 00:29:01,370 --> 00:29:03,930 That's actually, I'd say that's three -eighths. 477 00:29:04,530 --> 00:29:09,530 Adam, you're splitting straws. The bottom line is the straw didn't make it 478 00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:14,670 but it did manage to pierce the hard outer shell of the trunk and embed 479 00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:16,810 solid way in. That would be a result. 480 00:29:17,010 --> 00:29:18,010 That's a result. 481 00:29:20,350 --> 00:29:22,990 Adam checks the airspeed it was traveling at. 482 00:29:23,330 --> 00:29:25,730 Yep, pretty much looks like we're traveling at... 483 00:29:26,220 --> 00:29:30,940 right in that butter zone of 318, 320 miles per hour. 484 00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:32,440 That's just beautiful. 485 00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:37,720 It was a great shot, but that means even the highest wind speed ever recorded 486 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,800 wasn't enough for us to push the straw through the trunk. But this myth isn't 487 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,800 blown away yet. 488 00:29:48,170 --> 00:29:53,450 To test the myth of primary perception that all life has feelings and the power 489 00:29:53,450 --> 00:29:58,730 of ESP, Grant and Torrey hooked a plant to a polygraph, attacked it physically 490 00:29:58,730 --> 00:30:03,610 and mentally, and the plant seemed to react. Could they be on their way to 491 00:30:03,610 --> 00:30:06,290 confirming this out -of -the -ordinary myth? 492 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,100 So how are you guys going with this experiment? I leave you guys alone for 493 00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:13,240 seconds, and you've proven plants have feelings. 494 00:30:13,660 --> 00:30:16,400 Well, I mean, we've been getting some weird results. There's some kind of 495 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,840 correlation between my thoughts and the plant and the polygraph machine. 496 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,320 So what do you guys plan to do to further this kooky experiment? 497 00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:28,580 Every resourceful grad's got a plan. 498 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,360 This time, the team is going to repeat their plant ESP experiment, but swap out 499 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,900 the polygraph with an EEG machine. 500 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:42,460 An EEG is actually a very sensitive voltmeter, and so it uses electrodes 501 00:30:42,460 --> 00:30:46,520 connected to the head to measure any electrical brainwave patterns. 502 00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:49,940 All living cells have electric currents running through them. 503 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,980 Hooking up the Dracaena to the EEG might give the team more accurate results. 504 00:30:55,260 --> 00:30:58,740 And again, they're following in the footsteps of Cleve Baxter. 505 00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:03,990 The original series of experiments used an EEG machine, and this gives us the 506 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:08,690 opportunity to see whether it's a real plant phenomenon or whether it's an 507 00:31:08,690 --> 00:31:09,930 artifact of the polygraph machine. 508 00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:14,830 Tari goes to town with his mental calisthenics one more time. 509 00:31:17,330 --> 00:31:19,590 But there's no blip on the screen. 510 00:31:20,530 --> 00:31:23,390 Are you having big mean thoughts or little mean thoughts? What were you 511 00:31:23,390 --> 00:31:26,670 of? Big mean thoughts. I was just imagining tearing that plant. 512 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,520 part in different ways. I would say that that plant's not reacting to you. No. 513 00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:37,800 The data the team has from plants is conflicting, but Baxter did plenty of 514 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,520 experiments on different organisms they can try. 515 00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:44,100 Okay, Grant, I'm going to need you to cough. 516 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,740 Reminds me of my last trip to the airport. 517 00:31:47,020 --> 00:31:52,080 They're going to test a popular breakfast item rich in protein, B 518 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,460 most importantly, live bacteria. 519 00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:56,260 We're going to see if yogurt has emotions. 520 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,460 Well, most people get kind of freaked out when they hear that yogurt is a live 521 00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:02,540 bacteria. You heard right. 522 00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:05,920 Emotional acidophilus. Cool. We get to torture yogurt. 523 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,239 All right. 524 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,160 The idea is to take two samples of yogurt from the same tub, leave one in 525 00:32:12,340 --> 00:32:16,980 and persecute the other. Part of the primary perception theory is that all 526 00:32:16,980 --> 00:32:21,460 is in tune with each other, so the bacteria should sense that its buddies 527 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:22,460 being messed with. 528 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,060 They squirt yogurt into test tube one, insert conductive gold wire, and connect 529 00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:29,100 it to the EEG. 530 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,580 They've already learned movement might affect the result, so to absorb any 531 00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:38,360 vibration, they set up test tube two's stand on a foam base. 532 00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:42,860 Okay, 10 feet's right here. The stage is set, and Carrie goes into her good 533 00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:46,900 neighbor act. Let's go ahead and use the happy stimulus, which would be sugar, 534 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,560 which is my happy stimulus, too. 535 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:49,960 Go. 536 00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:54,540 That is freaky. 537 00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:58,920 The instant she dropped the sugar into the test tube, there was a peak. 538 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,480 There was an unmistakable leap on the EEG. Was the bacteria in test tube one 539 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,480 jumping for joy for test tube two's sugar high? 540 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,480 Or did someone in the room accidentally move? 541 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,560 You didn't touch the table. No. 542 00:33:13,940 --> 00:33:15,140 I was standing right there. 543 00:33:16,570 --> 00:33:20,930 Upping the aggravation to the max, they pour in boiling water. Let's see if we 544 00:33:20,930 --> 00:33:22,910 can stimulate it by making it angry. 545 00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:24,630 Drop it like it's hot. 546 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:29,450 Nothing happened that time. 547 00:33:29,850 --> 00:33:30,850 No result. 548 00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:36,310 If the death of the bacterium BFFs doesn't get a reaction, what will? 549 00:33:37,610 --> 00:33:40,450 All right, well, I guess that first test was a coincidence. 550 00:33:40,930 --> 00:33:44,090 I would love to be wowed. I would love to have my mind changed. That's my 551 00:33:44,090 --> 00:33:45,940 favorite. So far I'm not convinced. 552 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,160 Yeah, this test was less than conclusive. 553 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:01,020 Can a piece of straw propelled by storm force winds pass through a palm tree 554 00:34:01,020 --> 00:34:02,020 trunk? 555 00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:07,180 Well, the Mythbusters are a little stuck on this one. They got a piece of straw 556 00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:08,180 to go in. 557 00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:11,770 but not out that's a good quarter inch they've already got their air shooter 558 00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:17,830 dialed up to 318 miles per hour the highest recorded wind speed in a storm 559 00:34:17,830 --> 00:34:22,389 they can't change that but they can change the ammo this time they're going 560 00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:27,070 swap out the straw for a different plant material that's reed your average 561 00:34:27,070 --> 00:34:30,449 person picking up a piece of this on the street and go oh look i found some 562 00:34:30,449 --> 00:34:35,060 straw However, it is a little more rigid and may actually provide a lot more 563 00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:36,880 penetrating power than the straw does. 564 00:34:37,139 --> 00:34:42,239 80. Go ahead. All right. Firing fast reed in 3, 2, 1. 565 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,320 Ouch. The reed pierces the trunk like tiny spears. 566 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,679 That right there is pretty serious. 567 00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:55,400 The amount of penetration we're getting from this debris is pretty amazing. 568 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,760 The more rigid reed dug in two inches deeper than the straw, but it still 569 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,600 go all the way through. I think by the figures we're getting, you need a palm 570 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,360 tree that was two inches thick. 571 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,800 Then you could be reasonably sure that one of these might go all the way 572 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,600 it. If something as strong as reed didn't make it, can anything at all go 573 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,740 through a palm tree trunk? 574 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,400 It's time to beat things up with some stronger material. 575 00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:23,700 And have a little fun in the process. 576 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,220 We can shoot anything that'll fit in the gun. 577 00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:30,280 Piano wire will tickle the boys' ivories. 578 00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:35,620 Straws, you know, that's good to know. It's what the myth is about. But if I 579 00:35:35,620 --> 00:35:39,520 this piece of wire to go sailing right through the concrete brick wall in the 580 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,120 back of the shop, that'll be what gets my juices flowing. 581 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,560 Go ahead. 582 00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:47,720 Firing piano wire. Three, two, one. 583 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,900 You know, that's the first shot we've had that actually sounded like an 584 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,560 Yeah! 585 00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:03,100 Touché. Not only did the piano wire slice through the trunk like it was 586 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,360 it came out the other side and kept going. 587 00:36:06,660 --> 00:36:10,420 For the first time, they got something to pass right through the tree. 588 00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:16,300 I don't think it hit the concrete, but let's see. 589 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,900 It did because I can't pull this board off the wall. 590 00:36:20,510 --> 00:36:23,570 Three different objects skewered to perfection. 591 00:36:23,830 --> 00:36:25,770 That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. 592 00:36:27,610 --> 00:36:31,690 Now all they need to do is get the straw to serve up the same thing. 593 00:36:35,950 --> 00:36:41,230 In the meantime, the primary perception myth is that all life, from the highly 594 00:36:41,230 --> 00:36:46,130 evolved to the most simple, is interlinked, aware of what is going on 595 00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:47,850 and has psychic powers. 596 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:55,160 By using a polygraph and EEG machine to detect any vibes, they subjected a plant 597 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,440 and live bacteria to stress. 598 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,880 Nothing happened that time. Their results haven't given them a concrete 599 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,620 either way, so they're going to try another experiment, this time with human 600 00:37:06,620 --> 00:37:07,620 cells. 601 00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:11,200 White blood cells from Tori's mouth will be put into a test tube. 602 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,640 Gold wire will be inserted into the tube and connected to the EEG. 603 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:22,560 Then Tori will be tortured to see if his own cells in the tube feel his pain and 604 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,560 freak out. 605 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,880 Tori, would you come over here? I need to take your leukocytes. 606 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,120 You're not going to use that on me? 607 00:37:29,140 --> 00:37:34,300 Leukocytes, commonly known as white blood cells, live inside the body. A 608 00:37:34,300 --> 00:37:36,020 way to catch them is to spit. 609 00:37:36,660 --> 00:37:39,960 Tori horks into test tubes filled with saline solution. 610 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,600 With my mask in your mouth, this is probably a really great audio moment. 611 00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:50,860 Go. 612 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,340 Proud of his Italian heritage, Tori may be, but his display doesn't exactly 613 00:37:57,340 --> 00:37:59,440 rival the beauty of the Trevi fountain. 614 00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,600 Fresh. Mmm, lovely. 615 00:38:02,860 --> 00:38:04,000 Spit cappuccino. 616 00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:06,460 Grant is looking a little queasy. 617 00:38:06,780 --> 00:38:09,640 Dude, you let a dog lick your face. This can't gross you out. 618 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,520 Then the test tubes of spittle go for a spin in a centrifuge. The force of the 619 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,300 hyperspeed circular motion will separate the cells from the liquid. 620 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,660 You realize if something goes wrong with this, we'll be showered in Torrey's 621 00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:25,660 spit. 622 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,100 Disgusting. Grant takes a sample to make sure they've captured their quarry. 623 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,320 That is definitely a white blood cell. 624 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,330 Now. Here comes the shocking part. Can we have somebody else do it? I just 625 00:38:40,330 --> 00:38:41,550 trust her for some reason. 626 00:38:42,010 --> 00:38:46,170 I'm sorry. I've got to run the EEG. She's enjoying it too much. I think you 627 00:38:46,170 --> 00:38:49,390 to close your eyes so you don't expect it. Mistress Carrie is going to inflict 628 00:38:49,390 --> 00:38:52,550 physical pain on Tori using a stun gun. 629 00:38:53,930 --> 00:38:54,930 Close your eyes. 630 00:38:55,350 --> 00:39:00,290 Stun guns emit electric currents, so they move Carrie far enough away that 631 00:39:00,290 --> 00:39:03,730 she turns it on, it won't cause interference on the EEG. 632 00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:10,400 That's pretty good. Out of range, she's ready to fry her friend. 633 00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:15,000 Do not try this at home. These devices do hurt bad. 634 00:39:18,220 --> 00:39:20,160 It's worse when you don't know what's coming. 635 00:39:21,380 --> 00:39:22,520 So did you get anything? 636 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,720 Nothing. No reading whatsoever. 637 00:39:25,260 --> 00:39:26,260 Where do you want it? 638 00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:29,060 Don't put it any place that would really be bad. 639 00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:41,740 Maybe a little bump, but, you know. 640 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,760 There's barely a flicker on the EEG that indicates the isolated white blood 641 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,140 cells sense anything. 642 00:39:48,460 --> 00:39:55,420 With our remote stimulation of Tori, we haven't seen any response. 643 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:04,500 I think we can safely say this one's busted. 644 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,900 It's busted. I don't see anything happening. 645 00:40:08,910 --> 00:40:12,050 All right, so we've finished all these experiments. You guys had fun shocking 646 00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:16,190 me, but we still haven't been able to explain those weird results that we got 647 00:40:16,190 --> 00:40:19,910 with the plant and the polygraph. I think you'll find if we take all of the 648 00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:23,850 that we learned to isolate our experiment from outside influences and 649 00:40:23,850 --> 00:40:26,310 to this last experiment, we'll get our answer. 650 00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:32,370 The final experiment is a cracker. This time, the innocent chosen for the 651 00:40:32,370 --> 00:40:34,310 sacrifice is the humble egg. 652 00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:41,380 Grant whips up an intimidating -looking metal rig designed to break a bunch of 653 00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:42,860 eggs at random intervals. 654 00:40:46,420 --> 00:40:53,420 So this is the egg dropper, and I've got ten cylinders here, and the shaft of 655 00:40:53,420 --> 00:40:58,040 the piston blocks the egg from falling. When I trigger it, the piston will go 656 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,920 up, and the egg will fall through. 657 00:41:00,260 --> 00:41:01,720 Dude, this thing is badass. 658 00:41:01,980 --> 00:41:05,240 You like it? I love it. You can take it home after this. 659 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,900 This test is to see if one cellular being, a plant, responds when another 660 00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:16,500 cellular being, an egg, is destroyed. The test has been designed to completely 661 00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:21,640 block outside movement, vibration, or electrical interference from affecting 662 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:22,640 results. 663 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,700 Here's how it'll go. The plant will be put on a foam base and connected to the 664 00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:29,780 polygraph inside the shipping container. 665 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,980 Grant's egg dropper will be placed outside the cage over a pot of boiling 666 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,820 Then the eggs will plummet one by one into the drink. 667 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,980 Okay, once this boils, we'll be ready to go. 668 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,980 No one, not even the eggs, will know when the time comes to meet their maker. 669 00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:54,140 Not only will it choose a random cylinder, but also the time delay 670 00:41:54,140 --> 00:41:58,980 cylinders will be random so that the eggs can't anticipate when the next 671 00:41:58,980 --> 00:41:59,980 going to drop. 672 00:42:00,330 --> 00:42:04,110 The eggs are locked and loaded. You just need to make an automatic toaster, 673 00:42:04,210 --> 00:42:06,550 automatic orange juicer. 674 00:42:07,590 --> 00:42:08,590 You're in business. 675 00:42:09,210 --> 00:42:13,490 Okay, you guys ready? So once I do this, we have 30 seconds to exit. Ready? 676 00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:17,090 Three, two, one. 677 00:42:18,690 --> 00:42:19,690 Sequence started. 678 00:42:20,050 --> 00:42:24,250 Every single soul, including the crew, exits the building. 679 00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:27,970 Trapped in the wheel of death, the first egg drops. 680 00:42:29,870 --> 00:42:32,750 If the myth is true, the plant should have reacted. 681 00:42:33,250 --> 00:42:35,210 The same when egg two falls. 682 00:42:36,650 --> 00:42:37,650 Omelet, anyone? 683 00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:44,650 After 45 minutes, the team comes back inside to check the results. 684 00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:49,210 So we're looking for a jump in the polygraph when the egg drops. Correct. 685 00:42:49,210 --> 00:42:53,450 would be the plant's response to the eggs buying it in the boiling water. 686 00:42:54,610 --> 00:42:55,850 Okay, there's the first one. 687 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,860 And no reaction on the polygraph. 688 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,440 No screaming, no psychic activity. 689 00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:10,040 Well, I had a quick look at the trace, and it was kind of varying just a little 690 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,640 bit. But nothing in correspondence to the dropping of the egg? No, definitely 691 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,420 not. Not even a piece. 692 00:43:18,030 --> 00:43:20,030 It's a cool egg -dropping mechanism. 693 00:43:20,610 --> 00:43:21,610 Thanks. 694 00:43:21,930 --> 00:43:27,850 Even with the plant and polygraph in total isolation, the needle still didn't 695 00:43:27,850 --> 00:43:32,350 move. Along with the eggs, it looks like Baxter's theory of primary perception 696 00:43:32,350 --> 00:43:33,510 is broken. 697 00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:37,110 I think we've done a really good job of replicating all of the primary 698 00:43:37,110 --> 00:43:38,170 perception experiments. 699 00:43:38,430 --> 00:43:42,070 I mean, we got the right plants. We got our vintage polygraph. We've been 700 00:43:42,070 --> 00:43:45,510 extremely thorough. We're drowning in polygraph paper. I found out I'm a 701 00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:47,510 statist. From all this, what did we get? 702 00:43:47,950 --> 00:43:52,030 Well, I agree. I think we did a really good job of isolating all the variables, 703 00:43:52,190 --> 00:43:55,890 things that might have influenced the original experimenters and given a false 704 00:43:55,890 --> 00:44:01,170 positive. There's vibration, electromagnetics. Most importantly, we 705 00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:02,230 ourselves out of the equation. 706 00:44:02,510 --> 00:44:06,270 But there was a point where we got some weird results, but we weren't able to 707 00:44:06,270 --> 00:44:11,070 repeat it. And if you can't repeat it, it's not science. So this one's busted. 708 00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:15,190 Busted. But I did like shocking you a whole lot. I know. You guys didn't get 709 00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:16,190 feel it. And I think... 710 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,480 Maybe we should share. 711 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,480 I thought I took the batteries out of that thing. I thought you did too. 712 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:37,220 At Hurricane HQ, Jamie and Adam proved that while straw can't pierce a palm at 713 00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:40,600 318 miles per hour, piano wire can. 714 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:48,140 There is a theory that we haven't tested here, and it's that in a gale force or 715 00:44:48,140 --> 00:44:53,320 hurricane or tornado wind, the tree is actually bending, and the bending of the 716 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:58,140 tree actually makes its pores or makes its material open up and makes it more 717 00:44:58,140 --> 00:44:59,140 penetratable. 718 00:44:59,940 --> 00:45:04,400 So I'm thinking one of the reasons we got this thin -trunked tree is to put a 719 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,560 ratchet strap on it and pull it like a big old bow. 720 00:45:08,970 --> 00:45:13,930 Palm trees are built to stand up to tropical storms. Their tall skinny 721 00:45:13,930 --> 00:45:18,910 and lack of branches extending out offer less surface area for winds to blow on. 722 00:45:19,070 --> 00:45:23,930 That, combined with their very flexible trunks, allows them to duck and weave 723 00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:25,090 more than other trees. 724 00:45:25,770 --> 00:45:28,770 You're going to have to do this fairly quickly because I'm hurting my shoulder 725 00:45:28,770 --> 00:45:30,550 here. Oh, now you realize it's heavy. 726 00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:35,670 To replicate the stress a palm would be under in a storm, they brace and strap 727 00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:39,910 their tree and bend it back as much as they can without snapping the trunk. 728 00:45:40,890 --> 00:45:43,530 I think that's about the limit of what we're going to get out of this in terms 729 00:45:43,530 --> 00:45:44,459 of bending. 730 00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:47,780 Yep, I mean, if we crack it, we've got to get another one. They also move the 731 00:45:47,780 --> 00:45:50,760 palm closer to the barrel, so it's in point -blank range. 732 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,280 Maybe the tree isn't too comfortable right about now, but these are 733 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,580 ideal conditions for the straw. 734 00:45:57,780 --> 00:46:01,680 We're going to give the straw the best possible chance that we can to do 735 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,640 something to this tree. So if it doesn't go through under these absolute maxed 736 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,220 -out conditions, the myth is totally busted. 737 00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:10,940 The straw is loaded. 738 00:46:11,260 --> 00:46:12,700 Okay, you're ready. 739 00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:16,400 Firing a bent palm in 3, 2, 1. 740 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,940 So what's waiting at the other end? 741 00:46:22,580 --> 00:46:24,320 We only got about a quarter inch. 742 00:46:24,580 --> 00:46:26,460 Yeah, there's about a quarter inch. 743 00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:32,320 The straw dug into the trunk about a quarter of an inch. Even in optimum 744 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,720 wind conditions, it was nowhere close to coming out the other side. 745 00:46:37,740 --> 00:46:40,340 Even with ideal conditions, point -blank range. 746 00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:45,110 With the palm tree bent at the most severe angle we feel comfortable with it 747 00:46:45,110 --> 00:46:48,650 without breaking its back, we get the same results we did with a normal palm 748 00:46:48,650 --> 00:46:51,510 tree with the straw from like 50 centimeters away. 749 00:46:51,770 --> 00:46:56,590 But before calling this myth a bust, they still have one more option to try. 750 00:46:56,830 --> 00:47:02,050 I think the only thing left for us to do is to use the thatch reed, which is, I 751 00:47:02,050 --> 00:47:06,150 believe, the strongest thing that we've found that is an organic material that 752 00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:08,130 could be mistaken for a straw. 753 00:47:09,090 --> 00:47:13,600 Pressurizing. Because the thatched reed is way more rigid and tougher than 754 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,820 straw, this time having the advantage of being fired at point -blank range into 755 00:47:17,820 --> 00:47:21,040 a bent trunk could make it an unstoppable force. 756 00:47:21,780 --> 00:47:23,920 Firing thatched reed into the bent palm. 757 00:47:24,140 --> 00:47:26,580 Three, two, one. 758 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,340 So, did it work? 759 00:47:30,940 --> 00:47:32,540 It didn't make it out of the barrel. 760 00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:35,200 Nope. It still got stuck. 761 00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:39,820 Certainly did not enhance the effect about the same as it was getting before. 762 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,560 The point is that bending the trunk and shooting it at the stressed point where 763 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,740 the fibers would presumably be open, according to that theory that we found, 764 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,700 does not have any appreciable effect on the penetration that we're getting. 765 00:47:53,460 --> 00:47:56,060 So I'd say we can put this one to bed. 766 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,240 So the straw through a palm tree myth is busted. 767 00:48:01,260 --> 00:48:03,720 But before they take their shooter apart... 768 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,720 Adam has one more myth he wants to explore. 769 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,680 This one was hatched down on the farm. 770 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:10,960 Oh, man. 771 00:48:11,740 --> 00:48:14,900 The myth is that a hurricane or a tornado can blow all the feathers off a 772 00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:16,480 chicken, so we got a feathered chicken there. 773 00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,100 That's disgusting. 774 00:48:18,220 --> 00:48:21,520 We're just going to unload the strong air current right at him, you see. 775 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,400 Then I figured you could, you know, take him home and eat him. 776 00:48:24,780 --> 00:48:26,620 I only eat things that I kill myself. 777 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,820 We got one chicken. We got a strong wind. 778 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,800 We have a foul odor. 779 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:40,320 To really send its feathers flying, they're going for maximum airspeed, 780 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,280 up the PSI all the way. 781 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,140 If this doesn't blow all the feathers off, I don't know what will. 782 00:48:45,540 --> 00:48:48,340 Three, two, one. 783 00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:55,660 But the chicken's feathers are barely ruffled. 784 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,560 This chicken has just as many feathers as when he arrived. 785 00:49:00,730 --> 00:49:04,990 We could not blow the feathers off this chicken with 350, 60 some odd miles per 786 00:49:04,990 --> 00:49:05,990 hour of wind. 787 00:49:06,010 --> 00:49:08,770 Well, then I guess there's no way a hurricane could. 788 00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:14,050 And besides that, the chicken itself is going to go someplace in 318 mile per 789 00:49:14,050 --> 00:49:14,808 hour wind. 790 00:49:14,810 --> 00:49:17,750 Well, that is a solid day's work of experimenting. 791 00:49:18,130 --> 00:49:22,090 Straw might actually embed itself in your palm tree, but it is never going to 792 00:49:22,090 --> 00:49:23,090 pass all the way through. 793 00:49:23,350 --> 00:49:26,670 Nope, that's busted. And it ain't going to blow all the feathers off your 794 00:49:26,670 --> 00:49:27,368 chicken either. 795 00:49:27,370 --> 00:49:28,370 No way. 796 00:49:29,379 --> 00:49:30,379 Let's clean this up tomorrow. 797 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,320 Hey, what do you think? You think we can get that wire to go all the way through 798 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,320 an engine block?
