I am watching at station B, but sure enough, there are some wordless deletions and codes, in addition to the program itself, station B itself has nothing to "cut off time and space", which is really confusing.
Next, let's talk about the overall feelings of the individual, and then record the synopsis and personal evaluation in episodes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > preface</h1>
I have to say that after watching it, I was still impressed by some of Adam's fantastic ideas, although it cannot be said that the entire eight episodes are very interesting, but the various ideas of Adam throughout the documentary, and the process of putting them into practice, still do not reduce the charm of the rumor terminator, which is deeply fascinating. To be honest, after watching the whole part, you may not be able to leave any deep impression in your mind, what knowledge you have learned (from a utilitarian point of view), after all, this is just Adam will be some of his strange ideas, hard to spend money, spend people, spend time to practice, it can be said that the happiest in the whole film is Adam himself, not as an audience of us.
Of course, perhaps for Adam, who has been a rumor-buster for many years, making these experimental processes into documentaries and TV series is also an indispensable part of his life. It can be said that the documentary is to condense Adam's large number of failures, a few successes, a long time and work in just fifty minutes, and present it to the audience. Of course, you can say that whether the documentary is good or not depends on whether the clip is cut well or not. However, as far as I am concerned, it is very exciting to watch Adam successfully fill in his brain hole step by step, and this painstaking process makes me feel empathy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > Episode 1: Building Iron Man</h1>
Synopsis: As the first episode of the entire series, there is a lot of shock at the beginning. Although Iron Man is invincible in the movie and is full of a strong sense of science fiction, it turns out that the reality is just a large plastic model. Adam not only tried to restore an Iron Man, but also wanted to restore the function of Iron Man in the movie, of course, his target was the original Iron Man - the big silver knot.
Although it is Adam's laboratory and Adam's personal show, it has also experienced the cooperation and efforts of all walks of life. At this time, Adam's strong connections are reflected, including the episode behind. The main materials of Iron Man in this episode are sponsored by his mining university friend Laboratory (titanium alloy, 3D printing), and the flying device is provided by gravity company (that is, the engineer who was able to fly for one minute with the help of equipment in the news reports of previous years, and now he did not expect to have set up a company, can fly for ten minutes, and is also a DIY big guy). The process of making armor is like a puzzle and a model when I was a child, except that it is a giant model. Then Adam conducted functional tests such as spitfire, explosion protection, and bulletproof, and tried to do a 1:1 reduction. The episode ends with taking off in Iron Man armor.
Adam's homemade model
Rating: 7/10. Although it is the first episode, in terms of overall appearance, it is a decent episode. It may be that I think that the plot accounts for too much time in the training flight, resulting in a slight decrease in the perception. It may also be that after the armor was made, the core tasks of this episode have been completed, and the rest are all embellished tasks, which are not very interesting to the audience.
Iron Man who eventually flew into the sky
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="72" > Episode 2: Wheel of Death</h1>
Synopsis: To be honest, title at first glance really doesn't know what this episode is about. After popular science and verification, it was found that the so-called wheel of death was originally a weapon that the Allies tried to develop during World War II, and the Panjandrum rocket vehicle (Panjandrum) was developed by the British attempt to land on the French coastal combat plan (later Normandy landing). This rocket car also happens to be the poster background for the entire documentary.
posters
Adam started with the model and invited the Rocket Enthusiasts Association to provide rocket support, although there were several failures, but in the end the model seemed to be able to run up, and the effect was not bad.
A mini model made by Adam
Then he invited NASA's chief engineer (I can't remember if it was the chief, but led the expedition robot project to land on the moon or Mars, the real big guy) to help make a 1:1 restoration of the historical rocket car, and the result was that it was repeatedly broken into the sand. First of all, the danger factor has risen greatly, two large iron wheels rotate at high speed, no one wants to touch it; and then the uncontrollability has also increased, although it is a rocket car, but there are actually many rockets, at least sixteen rockets need to be ignited at the same time in the delay of millimeters, and it is very difficult to keep parallel. At the same time, the rocket actually only provides a thrust, and the real power actually comes from the high-speed rotational force provided by the motor when the rocket car starts, which is full of various uncontrollable factors in this process. So the final experiment failed, and the rocket car had not even rolled out of the launch pad.
The ultimate rocket fighting vehicle
Rating: 7/10. The idea is quite good, trying to restore the failed weapon of a hundred years ago, but the ornamentality is indeed slightly inferior, and it is a bit more of a visual sense of playing with the fire-breathing remote control car, a bit like the "spinning small gyro fireworks" or "colorful chrysanthemum fireworks" that we put on the New Year.' It may be a causal cycle, and sure enough, in the end, Adam's rocket car also failed, which is really regrettable. But failure is precisely the largest probability event in the experiment, and success is a minority.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="81" > Episode 3: Mad Max Chariot</h1>
Synopsis: Since I didn't have access to relevant information, I was stunned to see the title. Checked may refer to an old movie "Mad Max", equivalent to the modified chariot of the apocalyptic era and wasteland era in our online novels. Adam invited two female tuning masters, a Swedish builder and a German buildter, and when I saw this, I suddenly felt that the United States is indeed a melting pot of culture, and people from all over the world and all walks of life are gathered here, which can also bring about various ideas and cultural collisions.
Sure enough, it was Mad Max
Adam retrieved all sorts of materials and tools from the scrap yard to simulate the scavenging sense of the Wasteland Era, transformed the sedan into an offensive chariot by hand, and finally staged a chariot duel in the desert with the aim of scrapping the other party's car. Meteor hammers, road thorns, blade flanks, I admire that they can use some broken copper and iron in just two or three days to successfully modify.
Among them, Adam's warehouse also experienced a burglary, directly stole most of their valuable tools, they can be successfully modified in this situation, worthy of first-class craftsmen, with indomitable spirit and perseverance. In the final battle, Adam's "cutting-edge weapon" was once again defeated by his opponent's simple but practical Thorn and Meteor Hammer
Rating: 8/10. The modified car war may be one of the brain holes of many people, and it is also an indispensable part of the doomsday stream network novel. Adam's modification effect is good, and the "battle effect" is also very good, but unfortunately it is faster, and the victory and defeat are divided at once. Of course, the cost of input is also estimated to be quite a lot, after all, it is also considered to have bought three classic cars and been tragically robbed.
Adam failed miserably
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > Episode 4: Forging the King's Sword</h1>
Finished product: Adam's version of the sword in the stone
Synopsis: Adam bought a meteorite on eBay (Taobao in the United States) (scared me to go to Taobao to see if there were meteorites for sale), it seems to be not expensive, although small but quite heavy. Then he gave it to a friend of his, a professor of materials science at the university, to analyze that the main components were iron and nickel, and only this type of meteorite was suitable for making weapons (three types of meteorites, stony, iron, and stone-iron mixture).
Then a blacksmith, or sword caster, was invited to professionally cast swords for 20 years (a bit like our Longquan sword caster) to use traditional methods and modern modern equipment to create This Sword in the Stone. Although the use of modern equipment has greatly accelerated the process of sword casting, it can still be seen that striking iron is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task that requires a good body and a good patience.
True iron
On the day of the sword, Adam brought in the European Wushu Association (this translation is a bit confusing), to be precise, the expert in the study of ancient European sword fighting techniques, the master of swordsmanship. Of course, this is not "ten years of grinding a sword, the frost blade has not been tried", but just to teach Adam how to swing the sword, to test whether the sword in the stone can meet the basic characteristics of the sword. Of course, after half a day of teaching, Adam could only cut a watermelon. In the end, it was the master swordsman who tested the water bottle and simulated the human body (Station B even tested the sword of cutting off time and space ╮(╯▽╰)))."
The sword cuts the watermelon
Rating: 7/10. Truth be told, it's not as funny as you might think, and this episode goes into a nutshell: Adam asks the blacksmith to teach you how to forge a sword. It's just that the material is meteorite, and the model looks like King Arthur's sword in stone. And did some testing of the sword, nothing more. Of course, the knowledge and process of sword casting is still a bit interesting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="98" > Episode 5: Nitrification Experiments</h1>
Synopsis: There are no "bells and whistles" props in this episode, it's a real death experiment — testing nitroglycerin (nitroglycerin). The degree of danger is extremely high, so during the experiment, they prioritized safety. And this experiment can be carried out because of the few chemists in the United States who legally make, transport, and hold Nitroglycerin, and the whole process can only be carried out by chemists, and Adam is responsible for providing the idea of testing. For example, "clumsy high drop bottle Nitroglycerin test", "a wooden box Nitroglycerin experiment", "a carriage Nitroglycerin explosion experiment".
30 ml, everyone hid behind the wall seven or eight meters away
Here we have to mention that benchmarks (benchmarks). Baidu Encyclopedia said that "benchmarking refers to the design of scientific test methods, test tools and test systems to achieve quantitative and comparable testing of a certain performance index of a type of test object." ”
Adam in order to test the explosiveness of Nitroglycerin, stability, and the safety of the experiment, did a lot of benchmark tests, unfortunately nitroglycerin instability (volatility) worthy of the name, the whole episode, the most appeared is Adam's experiment failure, completely in accordance with Adam's ideas, so that at the end of the show Adam said that he never wanted to have anything to do with Nitroglycerin in the future.
To be honest, seeing the inconspicuous Nitroglycerin before the explosion in the show (such as that small bottle, that beach of Nitroglycerin), the powerful destructive force after the explosion, I couldn't help but think exactly like Adam, and I slipped away. Unfortunately, the last rented ATV has been damaged, and the insurance company has lost a lot
Just a beach of 30 ml Nitroglycerin on the steel plate
Directly blow up the steel plate 20 meters high and 30 meters away
I saw a very impressive sentence in the comments section, which came from one of the rumor-buster gas explosion experiments, to the effect that the most troublesome thing when conducting explosive experiments is not what happened, but what didn't happen, because no one wants to go near a bunch of flammable and explosive things.
The shock wave is visible to the naked eye and is formed by the high-speed movement of air molecules and squeezes
Rating: 10/10. I liked the danger factor, the effect of the program, and the success of science (no more likes, I am afraid of being bombed).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" > Episode 6: Hollywood's Famous Weapons</h1>
This is a stunning idea to imitate the ZF-1 multifunctional gun of the Fifth Element. I have to say that when I was a child, I thought about this kind of multi-functional firearm or tool, and this tool is also indispensable in science fiction works, it can be said that the ZF-1 gun is the Swiss Army knife in the gun, and there are six functions in the movie: bullet playback (all bullets will track the target hit by the first shot), net launcher, flamethrower, frozen gun, rocket launcher and blow arrow. Adam tried to condense these six different functions into a firearm, if the finished product could still be called a gun.
ZF-1 multifunctional gun model
Adam found the aforementioned Rocket Enthusiasts Association and assembled a rocket gun; bought a net launcher on the Internet, which was really easy to use; made a miniature fire extinguisher with a commercially available carbon dioxide fire extinguisher; found a friend who legally owned the fire extinguisher and made a miniature flamethrower; and made a blowgun with a universal air compressor, six small arrows, biubiu.
Craft each of the six weapons
In the end, Adam and his team managed to condense it into a "gun" that could be carried, 12kg. And successfully completed all the weapon experiments at once, compared to the nitroglycerin experiments that repeatedly ran into the wall in the previous episode, this episode is much smoother. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to fully produce the original ZF-1 in science and technology, but I believe that such a day is not far away.
Adam multifunctional gun finished
Rating: 9/10. It was a very good idea, and the ZF-1 was copied step by step. At the same time, the plot rhythm is in place, and it may be relatively smooth for the experiment, thus giving people a full sense of accomplishment at the end.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="121" > Episode 7: Food Wars</h1>
Adam's secret weapon
Synopsis: As the name suggests, this is Adam's experiment in turning food into a "weapon", the classic masterpiece of absurd engineering. Therefore, the whole process of Station B prompts "Do not waste food", the original intention is good, although it may be a little funny in the documentary. Adam invited his old companion, one of the Prop Masters of the Rumor Terminator, to serve as his opponent.
Food wars are indeed one of the things that many children want to try most in their childhood, but unfortunately, when they were young, they did not dare to do it in the strict prohibition of their parents, and they would not waste food like this when they grew up, so it could only become a thing that they did not dare to do. This time Adam also realized his dream for the first time, and of course it was our dream.
I have to say that one of the experiments with a potato cannon is really a bit scary, it is really lethal, so I can only regret being out. At the same time, cauliflower is also regrettably out. Finally, some non lethal foods were used, such as oranges, tomatoes, eggs, ham sausages, and a whole bunch of pie (egg tart type foods).
As for the launching weapons, they all used trebuchets invariably, if it was a watermelon on it, it was really a watermelon trebuchet in Plants vs. Zombies, it was exactly the same. However, in the final battle, their trebuchets became useless, and not a single shell (orange, pie) was fired. As a result, only mortars made of giant slingshots and air compressors were a great success.
Boiled egg mortar
Hot dog Gatlin
Rating: 8/10. Achieved my little childhood goals and left no regrets. In the end the food was left for the goats to settle, at least not so wastefully. After watching the "weapon" selection for half a day, it is true that the air compressor is the best to use ~ ~
The goats are responsible for cleaning up
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="132" > Episode 8: Derby Air Battle</h1>
Synopsis: This episode is really a cow, where is the cow? Niu's connections in Adam, this time invited the three-time Oscar-winning Best Director, who provided two genuine World War I fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft. He has a private collection airport, there are dozens of aircraft in sight, the key is that it can fly, and there are a large number of World War I Air Force related collections, leather jackets, hats, etc., are hundreds of years old antiques.
trench
Then Adam invited the laser-related team to install modern high-tech devices on these old antiques, and on the basis of not damaging the aircraft, they installed more than twenty laser devices step by step, as well as smoke devices, and invited military engineers to install simulated machine guns. Finally, Adam + an Air Force pilot (sounds like an Indian accent) teamed up with another Air Force pilot for a fierce aerial battle. Although it is simulated, it is still thrilling. After reading it, it feels like the greatest luck that the pilots of the First World War were able to come back alive, and their average flight time was only a few months, alas. The Red Baron (German pilot) shot down as many as 80 enemy aircraft, but only lived to be 25 years old. The details reflect the cruelty of the silence of war.
Be careful of hitting the tail of your own plane!
ace of aces
Rating: 10/10. The risk factor is high, after all, it is an old antique aircraft from a hundred years ago, plus some modifications, no protective measures (note that there is no parachute at all). The cost of input is high, and if the planes break down, the insurance company will not be able to pay, because these planes are works of art. Although the process of aerial fighting is very fast and does not seem to be addictive, it also reflects the cruelty of war, and two planes that are one or two hundred meters apart decide to survive in ten minutes. May there be peace in the world.
To sum up, this is a documentary on scientific experiments that is worth watching.
