剧情简介
| Myth statement | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| …lift a 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) car. | Confirmed | Through small-scale tests, the MythBusters discovered that a single length of duct tape can support up to 70 pounds (32 kg). They then attached the car to a crane with duct tape. The car was lifted successfully, and was left suspended until the tape failed. The MythBusters were quick to point out that the tape itself failed, not its adhesive properties. |
| …be used to construct a potato cannon instead of the traditional glue. | Confirmed | The Build Team took a regular potato cannon and a cannon constructed with duct tape and fired them repeatedly to compare their performance. After measuring the average velocity of the potatoes as well as the distance they were fired, the Build Team concluded that both the duct tape and glue potato cannons were essentially identical. |
| …be used to build a fully functional cannon. | Confirmed | The Build Team used 1-inch-thick (25 mm) tiles of duct tape to measure how much strength it could tolerate. Using a small-scale test cannon equipped with a strength gauge, they discovered that the duct tape tile was indeed strong enough to withstand a cannon blast. They then built a duct tape cannon with a 2-inch-thick (51 mm) barrel and compared its performance to that of a conventional steel cannon. Although the range and speed of the duct tape cannon were inferior to the steel one, it successfully fired a cannonball and remained intact. |
| …be used to seal leaks in a boat. | Plausible | The MythBusters patched a damaged boat with duct tape and floated it out into San Francisco Bay. The tape managed to keep the boat afloat, with only minor signs of damage after 40 minutes of exposure. Adam then decided to test whether duct tape can seal an existing leak while the boat is still in the water. He noted that it was more difficult to get the duct tape to stick underwater, but successfully patched the leak. However, the “emergency” fix wasn’t nearly as effective, and the duct tape quickly failed. The MythBusters concluded that duct tape was a viable temporary repair method when applied in dry conditions. |
| …be used to construct an entire boat. | Confirmed | The MythBusters built an entire sailboat using 690 square feet (64 m2) of duct tape for the hull and sail. They then took the boat, dubbed the Stuck on You, into San Francisco Bay. The duct tape boat turned out to be fully functional with no sign of failure and, as stated by Adam Savage, “adequately seaworthy”, confirming the myth. |
