The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer.

Boys and their toys, again!
This video is a clip from the TV program Mythbusters. Here, Adam and Jamie try to vaporize a car - with a rocket sled!
Yep, I'd call that the closest thing you're going to get to vaporized!
I usually watch Mythbusters but I missed that one. Not only was the car pancaked, the 1" steel plate was folded like origami, and the 3" concrete backing and the berm were just...gone!

ReplyDeleteI think they achieved their goal.
I saw the episode last night. All I can say is WOW!
ReplyDeleteI wanna see them do it again with a bus or another semi.
ReplyDeleteThe display of speed was just amazing. Just shy of Mach 1.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice the paint spray as the metal crumpled from under it?
ReplyDeleteYou can see the red and white stripes in the air. Amazing episode.
