kurt Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Tonight, they're supposedly going to try to dispel the idea that a water heater can explode. Might be false rumor, but it would be worth a watch if it's true. I love those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks Kurt! I read that just in time to click on the tube and saw a water heater rocket at lift off. Here's an extra clip that wasn't in the show: http://dsc.discovery.com/video/index.ht ... 1297322076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dirks Jr Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I was channel surfing and just fell upon it. It was great. Those guys got the best job. Goof off all day and get paid big bucks. I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Lewis Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 When the pressure was building in the water heater, Adam said "The pressure is above 150 psi, exceeding the rating of the TANK". The tank does have a rating of 300 psi, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozofprev Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Love 'em!!! They had one show proving that you canNOT produce enough methane in the natural act of, you know, to cause an explosion. And they used the confines of a sealed port-a-potty.

Chad Fabry Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 When the pressure was building in the water heater, Adam said "The pressure is above 150 psi, exceeding the rating of the TANK".The tank does have a rating of 300 psi, right? The tanks are tested to 300psi. They're for a working pressure of 150 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Holy crap! That was even better than the old water heater in a field video that was floating around a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 If you missed it here is a link to it. If you dont want to watch the entire 17 min clip just advance to the 10 min point. That is where the big launch is. http://www.thewebdump.com/item/192685/S ... ter_rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
