Any predictions? I'm interested in seeing if they can replicate this full scale. I know they will somehow, but I'd like to see how they will do it.
It's on Discovery at 8PM which conflicts with the Rockets game. If the Rockets are playing like they have the past 2 games, I may watch it instead. Otherwise, I'll catch the replay at Midnight.
Yeah what the hell...this has become something of much debate between the wife and I...and we wait all this time and they don't even do the myth?! I liked the Macguyver mini-myth though...they could do a whole season and then some on just his myths alone.
That was crap, I was talking about it with friends and even told people to watch the show and now NOTHING.. WTF?
The REAL answer, is that the wheels would be spinning so fast, while the plane was moving forward, that the wheels would disintegrate and the plane would crash into the conveyor belt as it came to an abrupt stop. But assuming the wheels would hold up, yes, the plane would take off, with very little, if any, additional thrust needed.
Although I'm sure it's been explained about 50 million times in this thread... The wheels do not start, nor stop, the movement of the plane in this scenario, The engines are doing all the work. Engines going like a normal take off... Wheels just end up spinning at 2x the normal speed. It's pretty simple when you figure out how it works. The problem I've seen here (as well as on the other forum I've had this same discussion on) is that either people are unwilling to change their mindset on how this works, or just plain refuse to acknowledge what has been said. The Rollerblades/Plane wheel, Conveyor/Treadmill, Rope tied to wall/Engine thrust analogy is about the best way to visualize it. Although there's no mechanism on the treadmill checking the speed of the rollerblades, the end result is the same. You still move forward when there is "thrust" (pulling yourself with the rope) Trust me, I'm normally not one to get into random discussions, but I'm 100% certain that the plane will take off.
