Got a metronome, and I just want to see what happens
放上一个节拍器我就想看看把它放上去
when I put one on here.
会发生什么
Do you see it?
你看到了吗
It's totally moving.
它在移♥动♥
This is very cool.
这太妙了
This little metronome is definitely having
这个小小的节拍器绝对会对我的平台
an appreciable effect on my platform,
造成肉眼可见的影响
and I think it'll have even more of an effect
而且我觉得如果平台更轻一些的话
if the platform's lighter.
影响会更大
And I've got just the thing.
我正好有这么个平台
All right, this is working great.
这个很有用
It's definitely having more of an appreciable effect.
这个影响更为明显
Just got a nice bearing surface platform,
我找到了一个很不错的承重平台
light aluminum pipes,
也就是轻质的铝管
and a very light platform for it to sit on.
以及置于其上的很轻的平台
I'm taking away as much friction and momentum as I can
我尽可能地减少摩擦和动力
so that only the metronome is having the effect.
以保证节拍器是唯一的影响源头
Now, let's try two.
让我们放上两个试试
Adam doubles his trouble
亚当将两个节拍器
with two metronomes set to the same tick mark.
拨到同一刻度线
Look at the movement on this platform.
瞧这平台的运动
And after two minutes, the shimmy takes over.
两分钟后摆动变得一致了
Stay with it, boys.
继续保持孩子们
It just took them a little while to find each other's rhythm.
它们只是需要一段时间来调整彼此的节奏
So, if two will sync, will five march to the beat?
如果两个可以节拍一致那五个呢
This pink one is messing with my mellow here.
这个粉色的在里面捣乱
Well, three minutes in and something has come unsunk.
三分钟过去了一些现象慢慢浮出水面
This pink one is way out of phase with the other four.
这个粉色的和其余四个非常不协调
The other four seem to want to get into phase with each other,
其余四个看起来想彼此统一节奏
but the pink one's not playing along nicely.
但这个粉色的表现得很不友好
Why can't you get along like your brothers?
你怎么就不能像哥哥们那样好好相处呢
All right, here we go. Let's try.
好吧试试好了
Amazingly, it seems that Adam
不可思议亚当好像
has tickled the pink just the right amount.
将粉红色的节拍器调整得刚刚好
There it is. Okay.
就是这样好了
We got it working.
我们成功了
Yep, they're in sync.
是的它们同步了
That's awesome.
太棒了
Okay. Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet.
好了大家安静下来安静下来
Stop, stop, stop.
停下来停下来停下来
All right. Let me explain what happened here.
好吧我来解释一下这是怎么回事
This pink one was not playing well with the others,
这个粉色的之前和其它的都不同步
and I noticed when I was watching it
我观察它的时候发现
that it was just consistently a little too slow.
它总是慢半拍
So, on the theory that the manufacturing tolerances
基于这些节拍器的
on these metronomes are loose,
制♥造♥公差不尽相同
I sped it up by dropping it a tiny amount
我把它往最低刻度线的下方拨了一下
below its lowest tick mark,
调到其它节拍器设定的位置
which is what all the others are set at.
这样就加快了它的摆动
And that turned out to be the magic bullet
事实证明这是关键的一拨
that helped this all get in sync.
让它们全部同步了
It's awesome to know.
知道这些是可调的
These are tunable.
真是太棒了
And now that he's got his tickers tweaked,
现在他调整好了节拍器
just how many can he make dance to his tune?
到底能让多少节拍器同步摆动呢
Got it.
成功
I can't fit any more on here.
这上面都放不下了
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
一二三四五六七八♥九♥十十一
Dude, it's really kind of amazing.
兄弟这太惊人了
They go way out of sync, then they come back into sync,
它们一开始非常不同步但逐渐协调
and eventually they find this.
最终全部同步了
And if one of them's out...
如果其中一个不同步了
they kind of get him back in line.
其它的会把它拉回来
They all just want to be friends.
它们想要和彼此交朋友
They all want to be friends,
它们都想要做朋友
they all want to do the same thing.
目标一致
Adam's taken this to 11.
亚当已经完成了11个
I sense a serious escalation about to start.
我觉得大规模实验就要开始了
Down at Big Break Marina...
回到大突破码头...
Oh, you got a good, raging fire.
火势很好非常旺盛
Blast it.
燃烧吧
Copy that, we're on the way.
收到我们正赶过去
Tory is zooming full speed ahead...
托里正在全速前进...
Here he comes. Straight for the pylon.
他来了朝着柱子冲来
to test an emergency firefighting trick.
以验证一个紧急救火招式
I hope this works.
希望这个会有用
Rip it.
冲啊
Tory's rooster tail certainly seems to have doused the boat,
托里的船尾急流显然打湿了船身
but there's no smoke without fire so the guys reset.
但无火不起烟所以他们准备再来一次
Reset so we can do it again with one more pass,
准备好再来一轮
just to make sure it's out.
以确保火扑灭了
I think it's looking good, though.
但我觉得很有希望
Skipper Belleci takes another turn at fighting fire with speed.
贝鲁奇船长为了灭火又一次快速急转
Here we go.
我们来了
I think you got it, man.
我觉得你做到了兄弟
I think we put it out.
我觉得我们把火扑灭了
They've just got to be smolders.
他们刚刚肯定憋坏了
There's no way that's still on fire.
火肯定扑灭了
I think it went out with the first pass.
我认为第一次就扑灭了
The second pass is insurance.
第二次是为了确保安全
I think the third time's just for fun.
第三次应该就是纯属玩乐了
Clearly you can extinguish a fire
很明显紧急情况下你可以用急转弯
with an emergency u-turn.
来灭火
They got so close to the boat this time.
他们这次离那条船可真近
That was amazing.
太棒了
But now that they know this firefighting feat is no myth,
现在大家知道这个灭火技巧并非流言
the question is, should you try this at home?
但问题是你应该在家里尝试吗
That was crazy.
简直太疯狂了
Going at full throttle, 50 miles an hour,
加足马力以80公里的时速狂飙
straight towards a flaming boat.
直冲一艘着火的船而去
And then, right before I hit it, I had to crank the wheel
然后在我即将撞上去时我得急转方向
to spray the water onto the flaming boat.
将水溅到燃烧的船只上
It worked!
成功了
It worked! You put out the fire.
成功了你把火扑灭了
Dude, I totally can't believe it worked, but you know what?
我简直不敢相信会成功但你知道吗
I don't think I'd try this at home.
我觉得不可以在家里尝试
Yes, we were able to pull this off
是的我们成功地将火扑灭了
despite not being professional firefighters,
即便我们不是专业的消防员
despite not being professional boat drivers.
也不是专业的快艇驾驶员
But here's the thing.
但请记住
In order to do this, you need to overcome your fear
想要完成任务你必须克服
of driving directly at a flaming boat,
直冲着火船只的恐惧
and be able to turn at the last second.
还要在最后一秒紧急转弯
Not to mention, you need a jet boat.
更不用提你还需要一艘喷气艇了
Unfortunately,
很不幸
this is not something that just anybody can do.
这不是任何人都能做到的
Yep, it's always best
是的最好让消防员
to leave the firefighting to the professionals.
来做这些专业的事情
I wonder if Jess will let me borrow his boat again.
我好奇杰西还会不会把他的船借我
Anytime.
随时都可以
Well, the myth that metronomes,
关于如果将节拍器
if placed on a proper surface and activated together,
放在合适的表面它们就能相互调整
will eventually sync themselves up
并最终同步的流言
seems to be on pretty solid footing.
似乎站得住脚
Got it to work with a couple, got it to work with a handful,
两个时可以同步好几个时也可以
But now it's time to go for broke.
但这次要玩把大的了
In front of me here is an air hockey table,
在我身前的是一张空气曲棍球桌
and Jamie has set out, carefully, 216 metronomes.
杰米在上面小心地布置了216个节拍器
This is more than we have ever seen
这里节拍器的数量比我们见过的
in any of the videos demonstrating this phenomenon.
任何演示视频里的都多
