Mythbusters Breaking Glass Worksheet Season 3

Description

Adam and Jamie team up to find out if a singer can break a wine glass without amplification. The rest of the team attempts to discover if a rolling stone gathers no moss, and if a regular shop vac can be transformed into a jet engine. Science concepts include resonance frequency, natural resonance, hertz, wavelength, amplitude, harmonic waves, fundamental waves, sound concentrations, tone, pitch, decibels, crystal harmonics, crystalline structure, energy transfer between mediums, energy reverberations within materials, constructive interference, material oscillations, biomechanics, combustion, thrust, jet engine engineering principles, fuel compression, and gas expansion.

The episode is roughly 49 minutes in length.
