Grant Masaru Imahara (October 23, 1970 – July 13, 2020) [1] was an American electrical engineer, roboticist and television host. He was best known for his work on the television series MythBusters, on which he designed, built and operated numerous robots and machines to test myths over the course of the show.
After Imahara joined MythBusters in 2005, Deadblow was used on the show several times, though often with other attachments besides its original titanium hammer. Its debut came in "Bottle Rocket Blast-Off", when Imahara demonstrated it – while its accomplishments were reeled off with accompanying footage – before using the pneumatic system that normally powered the hammer to test the ...
Death Battle helped popularize the use of mathematical calculations to determine the strength of fictional characters; in the battleboarding fandom, such calculations are called "calcs". [6] The show has also inspired a number of fan fiction sites and crossover fiction, most notably Death Battle Fanon Wiki. [31]
The cast of the television series MythBusters perform experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives' tales, and the like.This is a list of the various myths tested on the show as well as the results of the experiments (the myth is Busted, Plausible, or Confirmed).
MythBusters is a science entertainment television series created by Peter Rees and produced by Australia's Beyond Television Productions. [1] The series premiered on the Discovery Channel on January 23, 2003.
The MythBusters then tested the amount of electricity a stream of water could deliver to a target, but they discovered the voltage dropped significantly the farther away the target was, ultimately failing at any distance over a few feet, making it impractical to use at long distances and busting the myth.
The MythBusters first started by striking a fake human head with both full and empty bottles. The initial results showed that the full bottle struck with an average G-force of 28.1, while the empty bottle struck at an average of 22.7 Gs. However, the MythBusters noted that the G-forces varied widely depending on how hard the head was struck.
The MythBusters placed 500 lighters in a car and slowly heated it up. One by one, lighters began to rupture and release gas fumes. When the MythBusters finally triggered an igniter, the gas fumes exploded, blowing out all of the windows and setting the car on fire. The myth was deemed possible as long as a suitable ignition source is present.
