Can a cracked valve on a compressed-air cylinder actually blast the tank right through a cinder-block wall? Could the Mythbusters get a speedboat to run on air cylinders, and could the build team get an engine running on gunpowder?
Air Cylinder rocket: CONFIREMED
The Mythbusters constructed a launch tube, they perfectly sheared the cylinder's valve off. The cylinder went right through the cinder-wall and went to the other side. Also the Mythbusters had recorded evidence of such a thing happening.
Air Cylinder Speedboat: BUSTED
The cylinders moved the speedboat 120 feet, 5 knots. The second attempt only moved the boat half distance. it barely moved at all.
Gunpowdered Engine: BUSTED
The build team just couldn't get the engine running, even a lawnmower engine.
