Nikola Tesla's Earthquake Machine! | MythBusters | Season 4 Episode 20 | Full Episode

AOL search? wow this is OLD

😂 Just when I thought Kari couldn’t get any more perfect 😂 “What’s bean going on?”

I still believe in tesla to be able to break any structrue with the right tuning because there's multiple types of resonances and ways of achieving the desired destruction

tesla earthquake machine - you were adjusting frequency - you forgot period; also feet above sea level; measure the solid metal frequency and the shaped forms' frequency. Play it like a musical interment until you can manipulate it - and I bet you could cause some fractures at the crystalline structure level.

The breakstep bridge thing is not busted because they couldn't do it

I think jamie is being a dick in this. They don't want to actually build anything that works too well. Jamie probably thinks tesla invented nothing. He is so dumb in this episode

It worked on the part jamie wanted to put in. They found it's resonant frequwency and it fell apart

Because the guy got killed, they intentionally made it so the caps would blow and not the glass. Youwould need a first generation lava lamp

bass speaker placed some distance from water on top of an oil drum, will make the water spalsh in columns

They always tweak things so much, saying this is a s good as that, without knowing. Always busting stuff without doing it right. Jamie thinks he debunked Tesla now. They never do anything as they are supposed to. Maybe the producers have warned them against working stuff. That is why everything is so convoluted and they rplace everything for something else. You can see it would never work, but they clam it to be the same, without it being at all. Jamie is horrible. He just gets pissed and ruins stuff

Why do it if not doing it right. We know resonance can break almost anything. Have these guys never seen differnet earthquakes and how they affect differnet buldings? Debunking Tesla is a bit too much of their own heads up their arses

I hate this show, because they change stuff that will work, and decides for something guaranteed not to work. Can't they just say if they think it will work too well for the public. They wouldn't be allowed to show stuff that could ruin buildings.

Dumbest tsla test ever. They had an oacillator but decided to use something that never would work instead. , on a shelf, representing a concrete building. I bet those shelves would have gone top ieces if they used the linear motor

For the Tesla thing, why not test it at twice the vibration frequency ? And a good fraction of the weight applied to the force.

They didn't even use google, how old is this?

the frequecey needs to be multiplied to get the earthquake from max resonance

Fizzy drink cans

Beer

Vodka

Aerosol cans

Never heat on a stove or microwave

Adam kept his promise; it was only if the device worked.

Tesla it's born in Croatia

i don't get it. they are professionals right?
why do they try the bean cans anyways? the weak point of these cans is ALWAYS top and bottom no matter what way they are sealed. is it just for content?

When Tesla tells you something has an inclination to break, that rule applies to all times and places.

They blur a lot of things in this series, I wonder why they didn't blur the Suicide Girls T-Shirt 🤔

There could have been a damage to the glass, or a weak spot which resulted in the glass exploding before the safety cap blew

Calling Nicola Tesla a 'Crackpot Genius'. Lol. Ok, buddy.

The stupidity of Jamie is astonishing.

RIP Grant, he seems like such a genuinely nice guy. He always was my favorite when I was younger.

I think the linear motor is cool af.

For.... reasons.

NoIcE

There is brown , yellow and black rice

why tack the piss outa jammie, never takes the piss outa you,, ginger gods misstake

A bridge started to sway when the wind speed matched the frequency of the structure and collapsed.

tesla's earthquake machine works, but not on a scale they say it does.
here's an experiment that you can try at home. you need a window that you can break or just big piece of glass in a frame.
attach that frame so it won't shake or move (like a window on house), then take any solid object and start tapping on it. not too gently, but not too hard either. don't smash it, just tap on it.
don't use ceramics as it might break the glass on first hit, like that special glass hammer that has hardened tip.

use a fork or a spoon or something, keep tapping and eventually, more or less, perfect circle will fall out. i've done it myself 3-4 times and it works every time, i even have old pictures of it.
this is caused due vibration, it's like dropping something into water, it makes circular waves. same thing happens inside every material and eventually they'll break. rubber and plastic is extremely durable against vibrational waves, but more solid materials like glass and concrete are much less resistant to this kind of vibrations.
i can totally see this device breaking entire building, but not in a way they described it.
what tesla said that at first nothing happend, yes that's correct, but it won't make entire house shake.

i'm fairly certain if you put that kind of device against support pillar on building and leave it on for a day or two, it will make the support pillar crack and break. you just need right frequency.

in other words, it won't cause earthquakes, but it can break things for sure.

have you guys ever used a oscillating saw? you will find that frequency you are looking for multiple times pure cut.

When i was like 7 i had a similar experience to the laval lamp story but luckily nobody got hurt. My mom was making a pot of tea while doing the dishes. She turned on the wrong stove burner, which had a stack of plates on it. I was walking through the kitchen and the stack blew up, shooting hot shards of glass everywhere but me and my mom, god bless😂 theres still burn marks on the old linoleum underneath our new floor boards

Still amazed that you can just pop down the shops and buy human remains in America, apparently.

Tesla was Croatian

Hot ring cold lava lamp legged it out

It's so weird hearing Adams voice from this young dude when you're used to the Tested channel

Imahara's eyes look like alien

I reckon should of tried the electric linier motor on the bridge when it was a windy day

Tesla was NOT one of the greatest inventors

Oh come on! You know you're here because of your crush on Kari... You hermit!!
