The sparks and heat from the tool managed to set the pants on fire and burn the flesh but failed to ignite the lighter. 500 lighters packed inside a car can explode with lethal force. Plausible : The MythBusters placed 500 lighters in a car and slowly heated it up. One by one, lighters began to rupture and release gas fumes.
Adam and Jamie started with finding out the temperature a car fire could reach. They set fire to a car with gasoline and measured the temperature with a thermographic camera, getting readings over 1,000 °F (540 °C). They then determined that the blaze reached 1,400 °C (2,600 °F), enough by far to melt the aluminium bumper but surprisingly ...
A house actually exploded in San Diego, California because a family used too many bug bombs and an accidental spark ignited the chemicals in the air, as the MythBusters were able to prove in their test, although it took dozens of bug bombs to produce only a small explosion.
The two boiled water samples were cooled to room temperature before being used. All plants received the same amounts of water and light (provided by controlled grow lights) for one week. At the end of this time, Adam found that the plants given microwave-boiled water had grown larger than all the others, and that the ones given no water had died.
The Food and Drug Administration's new rules on "healthy" food labels are voluntary and are scheduled to take effect at the end of February.
GoFundMe's year-end giving report reveals some of the major charitable causes people donated money to in 2024.
Microwave brightness measurements do not directly measure temperature. They measure radiances in various wavelength bands, which must then be mathematically inverted to obtain indirect inferences of temperature. [1] [2] The resulting temperature profiles depend on details of the methods that are used to obtain temperatures from radiances. As a ...
