Daily Drop: Salt & Pepper

[coldshadow]

3. The reason why the Salt broke and the Pepper didn't was because of logical transfer of kinetic energy to potential energy. The salt shaker was a little under full, and so the kinetic energy broke the bottle at the point of least resistance: the neck. Pepper has a natural "springy" property as well (it's more like a leaf than an actual mineral). It was full, so the kinetic energy was transferred into the pepper where it distributed through the entire mineral. Since it was full, there was no place of "least resistance". If they removed about 1/4 of the pepper, it probably would have broken like the salt, since the "non-packing" of the pepper would have not allowed the transfer of kinetic energy into the pepper; it would have shattered the glass.

Are you sure it wasn't because the salt fell on its head and the pepper didn't? In the shots presented, it looks like the pepper always landed "right side" up.
Great addition of Alex by the way. THAT was pretty epic. I kind of wish more stuff failed now just so we can see Alex smashing things in high-def slo-mo

When all else fails, CALL FREEMAN!

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Gordon Freeman Method Wins!!!

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Damn, a full heaping of epic there.

 

[spartan1077]

gLad to see Paul do some stuff this time Not saying youre lazy but you get to have some fun as well. Damn pepper, why didn't it break? Oh well. CROWbAR IS READY!

 

[LimeJester]

CROWBAR IS READY!

 

[WeirdBlueOne]

OH MY GOD! CONSISTENCY ISSUE! In the Alex preparations shots, he's wearing gloves, but in the slo-mo 'splosion shot, HE ISN'T. What happened to the gloves?? Did they disintegrate from the speed he was moving his arm????

Alex had the Crowbar.

Ah. Thanks Matt.

Alex w/ Crowbar = epic awesomeness

Being a nerd, I will say it's awesome to watch the crowbar after impact. Its resonance got stimulated and you can see it fluctuate back and forth as it's vibrating! (that's what I do for a living so I HAD to notice).

If there's a spin-off of this series, I hope it contains things that explode =D Such as Dry-ice bombs, magnesium in water, tin foil and drain-o (I think that's one of them but I don't go around making bombs >D )

I know Paul won't disappoint me!

[Mkvenner]

That guy got bad luck for spilling salt so thats why the pepper didn't break!

 

[Wicky_42]

This show just keeps getting more awesome ^_^ the failures are, of course, where things get more fun though

 

[Whispering Death]

hahaha the Crowbar bit absolutely slayed me! Funny stuff guys!

 

[tehweave]

Alex's face when he swung the crowbar was PRICELESS. Great video, guys.

 

[Magnesium360]

That face the guy with the crowbar made was awesome. Great episode guys.

Peper splosion!

EDIT:

That was Graham if you didn't know and yeah I thought that was really funny.
Oh my egg on Monday, I can't wait it's like waiting for New Vegas to come out!

I thought so but I couldnt see his eyes behind the goggles and I didnt want to make a guess.[/quote

Nope, think that was Alex Steacy.

 

[Somebloke]

Colonel Steacy, with the crowbar, in the billiard room!

 

[Owlslayer]

That crowbar was awesome.
The way it created a shock-wave and blew the pepper away was quite cool indeed.

Sodium and water for one is epic. As for other explosive, Tyler Durden says; "Use soap"

 

[Scrythe]

Alex had the Crowbar.

O_O

I had to rewatch the video to catch that. At first glance, I though it was Graham.

Alex really let his beard go, didn't he?

 

[WeedyPirate]

awesome!
