But, of course, there are many ways to torture victims with water other than just dripping it onto their forehead. Waterboarding is a practice which involves restraining a victim who is lying down. Waterboarding refers to a technique involving water poured over the face or head of the subject, in order to evoke the instinctive fear of drowning.

The Human Rights Watch organization reports that in the s, security forces in Uganda sometimes forced a detainee to lie face up under an open water spigot. Water intoxication can result from drinking too much water. This has caused some fatalities over the years in fraternities in North America during initiation week.

A few weeks ago we had to do a story in five days. Normally we take about nine days to do one. So we busted one out of the list that was just something that I wanted to try, and we did it in five days with almost no research. But I can tell you lead balloon — Jamie and I built a fourteen foot diameter balloon out of lead that floated with helium — it was two and a half years to find a factory that could roll lead to the thinness that we required.

Really, I mean, two other factories actually broke their equipment trying it. So we left this wake of destruction on our way to try that.

And for the record, getting hit in the face with a water balloon is pretty much like getting punched in the face really hard. Tory and Grant prank me all the time. All the time. Adam, how is your experience as a practical effects artist, and Kari, how is your work as a sculptor been applied to MythBusters? My father was an artist, he was a painter, he was an animator, and he gave me access to his charge account at the hardware store from the time that I was And I never abused it, actually.

I was actually able to put out all the fires before anyone noticed. So I was always encouraged to make things. I did do a stint of acting as an older child. I got into a theater. That lead to the film industry, and I love special effects in film because you were building something different every single day and problem-solving constantly.

I mean, making stuff is problem-solving. They get to see them coming from further away than you can, and they can change and move and stop and avert. Everything you see us build, we all build.

Just digging in and doing things that made me messy, and you just have to work your way through a creative process to get to the answers. How do we do this? What can we expect to see here? You know, we are very, very lucky to film in the Bay Area because we have just such a wealth of things to pull from, and Dublin in particular.

It does not ever go like we plan. So we plot out, we book locations based on what we expect to happen, and then an experiment yields different results, and all of a sudden we need a new location that day. How did you overcome the fear? Have you been too afraid to do an experiment? Liquid oxygen makes things burn like you have no idea. So the myth is that the liquid oxygen on the petroleum-based asphalt turns the entire road into a bomb.

So we looked into this. We started experimenting with little amounts of liquid oxygen, enough to discover that liquid oxygen is the scariest stuff on the planet. It really will turn an oily rag high explosive, and that is no hyperbole there. It also does it not behave predictably, which makes it twice as scary. What happens when you release a cloud of oxygen — of pure oxygen? Morehead : We have some very avid robot makers in the audience today.

And Kari, I understand you were able to Emcee a competition in the robot world. It was amazing. Kids from all over the world filled this huge auditorium, and it was just seeing that many bright kids that were way smarter than I am running around making these robots that do such incredible things, I was impressed. What can I do that no one else is thinking about?

Which means that half of his ideas are so harebrained you fear for his sanity. And the other half are so brilliant, you fear for yours. In fact, the whole thing might just go pop and blow up.

Blendo is an upside down wok on a flywheel spinning at about 75 miles per hour. And it had two horns on it, and each horn was a piece of hardened steel — tool steel — and the force that Blendo delivered was equivalent to a piece of steel the size of your fist going the speed of sound.

It was shocking. We passed all the safety tests, but each match lasted five seconds.
