Can he touch? 363 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,160 I didn't hear the last word he said, but think it was: "This is fun!" 364 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,920 The myth was that with life jackets and electrical tape could you make a pair of shoes- 365 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,720 -which would help one over water. 366 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,920 Two of you took a noticeable distance across the swimming pool- 367 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000 -so we'll call this myth "probable". 368 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,520 And special kudos to Brian which reached the furthest. 369 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Wallace didn't believe anyone. 370 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,040 Just. Buster gets a bright idea. 371 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:10,480 Imagine every horrible day in Buster's life in this wasteland to prison. 372 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:17,480 He wanders the yard and tears his hair from the head. That's why he's bald. 373 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,200 He hesitates now and then and wonders: "How can I get out of here?" 374 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:28,680 Until one fine day when he looks around the yard...and get a bright idea. 375 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,280 With the robber story of electrical tape completed... 376 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,400 ...the team heads to the desert to face his last myth. 377 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,040 This is Buster will try to make his great escape. 378 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,360 For some of you will it be your last challenge- 379 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,840 -but for others it will be one of the biggest data points of your life. 380 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,080 I am full of hope that this is the beginning of my journey as a mythbuster. 381 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,960 If I can continue, it's incredible. If not, it's still incredible. 382 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:21,120 The four of us have become one family. It made the rest fun. 383 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,200 In an ideal world, we would may continue to cooperate forever. 384 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,520 The excitement is killing me. 385 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,920 Now we get this done. 386 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,480 With only one day left to prepare and launch Buster- 387 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:41,200 -the finalists tackle theirs most technically challenging myth yet. 388 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,960 There are many small details you have to get the water heater right. 389 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,720 The lever on the emergency valve must be directed at us. 390 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,520 Making Buster stay put, fall off and the parachute to deploy. 391 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,560 So much petty hassle. I think we fixed everything. It makes me happy. 392 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,480 i like something complicated that you get right. 393 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:10,360 We use a regular hot water preparer, which is incredibly safe. 394 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,440 Why? Because there are so many redundant safety devices. 395 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400 Everyone has at least two safety devices. 396 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:24,120 A thermostat switch turns off the electricity if the water is overheated. 397 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,880 If it doesn't work is there a pressure relief valve- 398 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,400 -but if they are off... 399 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:38,280 Bang! That turns it into the rocket which Buster needs to escape. 400 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,160 Yes, a water heater rocket flying through a two story house… 401 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,680 ...and can be used as a cannon... 402 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,680 ...but keeping Buster on board... 403 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:56,400 ...and automatically trigger a parachute is a huge challenge. 404 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,080 About the candidates have built all parts right- 405 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,440 - maybe Buster can handle it. 406 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,800 It's time to fill it and find out. 407 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,080 We leave about 20% air at the top in the tank, so that we have some room- 408 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,040 -when the water is heated, so that can expand and build up vapor pressure- 409 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:25,360 -so that we have 450,000 newtons which propels it straight up into the air- 410 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440 -but then the pressure in the tank drops- 411 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,240 -and most of that water becomes steam and provides even more propulsion. 412 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760 This is a differential pressure sensor. 413 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,200 It takes information about the pressure inside the water tank- 414 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,760 -and send them to our bunker, so we know when to blow it up. 415 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,840 The warning sign is all we did to make it explode. 416 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,800 Don't clog yours. Do not remove that. 417 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,960 As parachute maker experts now we hope it works. 418 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,600 -What's wrong with these? -Okay, so it's like this. 419 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,960 It is now the different parts of the construction assembled together. 420 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:16,600 Will the team's individual contribution cooperate and free Buster? 421 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480 Buster looks a little catatonic. 422 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:25,960 Boarding Buster to your home made rocket! Boarding for Buster! 423 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:31,160 When standing on the rocket's launch pad you feel the seriousness of the moment. 424 00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:35,240 Okay. Now I want him up to the center mast again. 425 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:40,120 My prediction is that it will absolutely explode. 426 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:45,560 At least bits of Buster will soar down with the parachute- 427 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,840 - but anyway it will be great. 428 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,080 Well, it was a pleasure to know you, Buster. 429 00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:01,080 We are the first in the world to put a "person" on a water heater. 430 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,040 -Is everything ready? -Yes. 431 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:13,280 What will happen? Either it blows up and fails big… 432 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,480 -Is everything safe? -Yes. 433 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:21,080 ...or it explodes perfectly and sends Buster up into the sky… 434 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:27,480 ...the highlight parachute deploys and he floats safely down to the ground. 435 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,120 - Now we drive. -Okay. 436 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,080 I'm tense. It makes me laugh. 437 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,680 I remember when I was little with a bottle rocket and three stupid friends- 438 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,440 -but now it's a bigger rocket with three stupid friends. 439 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:51,200 We have made sixteen myths. We have invested time, energy and our souls. 440 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,760 Let the science begin. 441 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,480 I have shown that I have it which is required to become a mythbuster. 442 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,040 We are at 7.5 bar. 7.5. 443 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,200 It increases very quickly. 444 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,320 It's now or never, it's all or nothing- 445 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,080 -and all hopes and dreams hangs on that water heater. 446 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,280 This is the essence of "Mythbusters". 447 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,880 We have an orange water heater with Buster in the middle of the wasteland. 448 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Where else would one find this? 449 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,840 This is John over at the watchtower. We seem to be missing a prisoner. 450 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,080 I'm pretty sure that he is not on a rocket right now. 451 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,240 That would just be ridiculous. Come on. 452 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,440 We are currently at eight bars. 453 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:59,120 Past experience suggests that the tank explodes at over twenty bar. 454 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,360 - Bang! -Damn... 455 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,200 A force which roughly equates to Buster... 456 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,720 At nine bars and counting. 457 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,000 ...experiences a car crash at 100 km/h. 458 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,360 The pressure is increasing for Buster and for us. 459 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,480 Can he survive? 460 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,160 What do you think goes through Buster's head? 461 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,920 Just a bunch of fiberglass epoxy. 462 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,040 We just exceed twelve bars. Come on. 463 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,080 All have taken drastic measures to ensure success. 464 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,000 Fourteen bars.

Bang 479 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,960 ...from all that pressure which triggered immediately… 480 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,000 ...and you can see here that Buster died instantly. 481 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:13,600 The pressure increased until the steel plate at the bottom of the tank gave way. 482 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,720 Buster's head was ripped off. 483 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:25,200 The force of more than 450,000 newtons immediately decapitate the doll. 484 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,480 Hello there. I believe that we found the rest of you. 485 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,840 I have downloaded the data from the highlight device. 486 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:40,520 Buster flew 114 m, but fell 30 m before the brake parachute deployed. 487 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,520 At 80 m he does not have enough time for the main screen to trigger. 488 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,680 So many things killed Buster on his way out of the hut. 489 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,160 His whole foot is still in the shoe. 490 00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:57,600 the explosion, the postponement, the beheading... 491 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:03,040 Do you remember that his waist was off in the middle too? 492 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,480 I'm so excited about this. I can't explain it. 493 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,320 It's science, explosions and "Mythbusters". It's lovely. 494 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,120 Spiritually he perhaps escaped from the house, but physically he is dead. 495 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:29,280 The myth was that one person could shoot up with a water heater- 496 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,480 -trigger a parachute and come back to earth. 497 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,560 But Buster absolutely went on top of a water heater rocket- 498 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,440 -and released a parachute, then he is also absolutely dead- 499 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,640 -so this myth is disproven, but congratulations anyway. It was awesome. 500 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:56,080 You've probably never seen it before an exploding water heater. 501 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,120 Buster died as he lived. Searching. 502 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,400 Now is the moment. 503 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,680 It's been eight epic weeks, but it is now decided. 504 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,400 Martin, Brian, John and Tamara, you are all cruel people- 505 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:16,680 -but only two of you can go ahead and become the next generation of "Mythbusters". 506 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,640 So who will it be? 507 00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:23,440 To find out I need very special envelopes... 508 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:56,480 ...and I have them here.
