so note that you brown thumbs.
所以你们这些植物杀手要注意了
It may be busted, but don't take our word for it.
这流言可以被终结了不过别轻信我们
Try this at home.
自己在家试试看吧
Next up, some emergency firefighting.
接下来紧急救火法
All right, so first up is a viral video.
这里有一个广为流传的视频
The fans want to know if it's possible
粉丝们想知道这是否可行
and if they can try it at home.
并且能否在家里尝试
Check it out.
来看看吧
With a runabout ablaze,
一艘快艇起火了
It's jet boat to the rescue, fighting fire with speed.
前来救火的喷气快艇靠速度扑灭了大火
Wow, he's doing it.
他真的成功了
This guy's crazy.
这人太疯狂了
But in a crisis,
但在此危急关头
could an extreme 180 really extinguish a fire?
一个180度急转弯真的能灭火吗
Dude, that is awesome,
简直太帅了
But you know what?
不过你发现没有
There's something a little fishy about that video.
这个视频里还是有些疑点
It does look like there could be
看起来可能
some kind of visual effects going on there.
使用了某些特效
We need to find out if this thing is repeatable.
我们要搞清楚这件事能不能重现
Yay, let's go boating.
开船去
Motor boating.
摩托艇
You old sailor, you.
你可是老水手了
So, to find out if this works,
为了验证这条流言
over at Big Break Marina,
他们来到大突破码头
they're recreating all the elements of this emergency situation.
重现视频中紧急情况发生时的场景
So, the boat we're gonna be using to put out the fire is this.
这就是我们将要用来灭火的船
It's a 1978 charger jet boat.
一艘1978年生产的涡轮增压喷气艇
It's got a 350 oldsmobile engine.
它装了奥茨莫比尔发动机350
come aboard, matey.
上船吧伙计
All right, safety first, my friends. Safety first.
安全第一伙计们安全第一
Not only that, but it shoots a rooster tail up to 120 feet.
不仅如此它还能溅出40米高的浪花
We should be able to put out the fire with this.
应该足以灭火了
I wish we had dorkier life preservers.
这救生衣还能再凹凸点吗
Sorry, man. These are the dorkiest ones we could possible find.
不好意思这已经是能找到的最过时款了
What are you talking about? They match the boat.
你们说什么呢这颜色跟船很配啊
They are in this season's color of safety.
这可是这一季的安全色
It's hot.
可潮了
And the best part is, they're letting me drive,
最棒的是他们让我开船
except the owner has one stipulation.
只是船主有个要求
He wants to be on the boat with us,
他想跟我们一起上船
which doesn't make any sense
让人很是费解
'cause this is probably the most dangerous place you can be.
因为待在里面是十分危险的
I think we need to practice.
我觉得我们需要演练一下
See some stunt driving. Whoo!
让船飙起来
Precision driving is key to this myth,
精准的驾驶是验证这条流言的关键
so first Tory needs to get the boat up to speed,
托里首先得把速度加上去
then just before he crashes into the pylon,
然后在撞上柱子之前
pull off that 180 turn...
来一个180度回转
so that the boat sends up that dousing rooster tail.
让船尾溅起了一片灭火的彪悍水花
That's nice.
真棒
That was amazing practice,
预演超级精彩
but I think it's time to light a fire.
不过我觉得是时候该点火了
Let's do it.
开始吧
Yeah, I think you got it, man.
我也觉得没问题了
The second element of this emergency
第二个重要元素
is the flaming boat,
是一艘起火的船
and for that, they're taking precautions.
他们也为此做好了防范措施
So, this fine water craft is our fire boat.
这就是我们要点着的船
We're going to set a bale of hay and a pallet on fire
我们将要点燃一捆干草及托架
and let it burn.
然后任它烧
You got the air underneath
下面有空气流通
so that it can light all of this hay
所以这堆干草都能烧完
and actually get a good burn.
火势应该会不小
This thing should flame up nicely.
这些应该都易于燃烧
Now, if things go well,
如果一切顺利
We'll be able to put it out using the boat.
我们能用船把火扑灭
And if not, the fire department is on hand to put it out.
如果无法扑灭消防队员就会接手
It's time to set the fire, but before we do that,
该点火了不过在那之前
we're going to wet down all of the lands
我们要把起火船后面的土地
right behind where the boat's gonna be.
全部浇湿
We don't want any stray embers to 'cause any unnecessary fire.
我们可不希望飞起的余烬引起意外
The boat is now set to go up just like the video.
船已经完全按视频里的样子准备好
Great. Some vacation, Kari.
有渡假的感觉卡莉
But will the speed boat's rooster tail quench the blaze?
可是快船溅起的水花真的能浇灭火焰吗
All right, boat's tied.
可以了船绑好了
Tory's all ready to go.
托里已经准备完毕
All we got to do is set the fire now.
我们唯一需要做的就是点火了
Yeah, let's do this.
开始吧
Now, I'm not gonna lie.
坦白地说
I am a little nervous. I mean, this isn't my boat.
我有点紧张毕竟这不是我的船
All right, proceed with lighting the fire.
开始点火
We're gonna be flying at 50 miles an hour,
我们要以每小时80公里的速度
straight towards a flaming boat,
笔直冲向着火的船只
and, at the last minute, I need to crank on the wheel
并在最后一瞬间急打方向盘
so that I don't crash into the boat,
以防撞上那条船
but spray water onto it.
还要把水溅到船上
All right, boys. We have a raging fire.
伙计们火势猛烈
Bring it on in.
开始吧
And not only that, I'm gonna have Grant
不仅如此格兰特和船主
and the owner of the boat in the boat with me so if I crash,
也在船上一旦发生事故
I'm not just hurting myself,
我不仅会伤到自己
I'm hurting two other people.
还会伤到另外两个人
I'm scared less.
这样就没那么怕了
All right, man, there it is.
可以了船就在那里
Just try to understand what we're doing.
再回顾一下我们要做什么
We're heading straight towards a flaming boat, right?
我们正笔直朝着一艘着火的船冲去
Exactly. Okay.
没错好吧
And then, at the last minute, we're gonna turn out.
在最后关头急转弯
I hope this works.
希望会成功
Now.
就是现在
After 10 years of impossible, dangerous,
经过十年不可思议而又危险的
and downright crazy myths that you shouldn't...
你不该或者不能在家尝试的...
Something just touched me!
有东西碰到我了
or couldn't try at home,
疯狂流言实验
This episode is all about finding things maybe you can.
本集旨在寻找那些你们也许能够尝试的实验
So, next, Adam and Jamie get into a rhythm
接下来亚当和杰米要面对
with one, two, five...
一个两个五个
216 metronomes.
216个节拍器打出的节拍
Keep going, keep going.
继续继续
Well, that escalated quickly, but how did they end up here?
升级迅猛但最终为何会如此
There are a bunch of videos out there
有很多视频都显示
that show these things getting into sync
如果你让这些东西摆上一段时间
if you let them run for a while.
它们就会节拍一致
Come on, guys. Get with it.
来啊同步一个看看
It all looks so easy online.
网上视频看起来如此简单
Although they start out syncopated,
尽管一开始各自为政
these metronomes eventually tick over
这些节拍器最终
into a synchronized symphony.
打出了一致的节拍
But can you make metronomes dance to the same beat at home?
可是你在家里能重现节拍器的共舞吗
There is one thing that I keep noticing
在所有的节拍器的同步视频里
in all the videos of the metronomes syncing up,
我注意到一件事
and it is that they always seem to be sitting on a platform
这些节拍器都会放在一个
that moves slightly, that's got a little shake or shimmy to it.
受到震动就会轻轻摇晃的平面
Let me show you why I think that's important.
我来告诉你为什么我觉得这点很重要
If I move this metronome while it's ticking...
如果我在节拍器打节拍时移♥动♥它的话
even small movements have a significant effect
即使是很轻微的动作也会对节拍器
on the periodicity of its ticking.
打节拍的频率产生很大的影响
I've got a couple of soda cans.
我准备了两个苏打水罐
This is my platform with shimmy.
这就是一个会晃动的平台
