All items used in the validation immediately flew out of the tailpipe after starting the engine . If the exhaust manifold tightly resealed , engine stall just 5-10 seconds .
2 . If the bullet strikes the gas tank , it will explode .
Myth was refuted by experiment with the usual bullet , but then partially confirmed using tracer – from him really tank exploded.
3 . Can protect the car door in the shootout .
Car body is made of a thin – 0.4-0,7 millimeter – sheet metal , not able to stop a bullet . As helpless and inner cladding panels . Pistol bullet .38 pierces through the door . The only exception – the door -mounted speaker sufficiently large diameter – 9 inches or more .
4 . Engine fails, if the fuel tank to pour sugar.
During the experiment, the tank emptied about 10 pounds of sugar , the motor will continue running – only chimney smoke turned black . Along with the gasoline engine will inevitably fall into foreign impurities: water , rust , additives – everything is either burned or excreted in the exhaust gases.
5 . The car can jump over a long distance , using a bunch of land as a springboard , and land with minimal damage and no loss of speed.
During the experiment, the car flew 30 meters and crashed into the ground radiator , damaging the engine.
6. A person can leave the car had fallen into the water after a water glass cover .
The water pressure on the door is too high, it is impossible to open from the inside , as well as lower the window handle or electric motor.
7. The car can drive through the ranks of the vegetable market and stay on track (as shown in the movie) .
During the experiment, the car dragged the bazaar at a speed of 70 miles per hour (about 110 km / h) . The camera on the roof came off , the car was seriously dented . Windshield covered with a grid of cracks, the driver can not see anything .
8. If you hold the steering wheel grip recommended ” ten to two ” of the airbag tear thumbs .
In the experiment with artificial hands steering threw them out , but fingers survived.
9. Police radar can cheat by placing under the windscreen of the CD.
No CD, no mirror drive on the roof, no car cover foil could not dull the vigilance radar detector . Even jingling bunch of keys did not help.
10 . Using different materials and tricks can fool a breathalyzer.
To test Adam Savage drank two whiskeys , and Jamie Hyneman – a cocktail of vodka and cranberry juice . In both cases, the device showed the presence of alcohol in exhalation air. Furthermore, the police can always ask for a blood test. Using liquid mouthwash will only increase the amount of alcohol in the breath .
11. If during refueling a car talking on a cell phone , it may explode.
Experimentally proved that the phone is not working properly can cause an explosion , even when surrounded by gasoline vapor in sufficient concentration to ignite . Real danger of static electricity on clothing, which can accumulate several times sat in the car and left it.
12. Collision of two cars at 80 miles per hour going with the same force as a car collision with a wall at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour .
Force acting on the car will be the same as in a collision with another car , and with a fixed wall.
