He needs to upgrade that with the Veyron's 12 cylinder quad-turbocharged engine!

Oopsies 😱. Just shows how even more ludicrous it is!

Oh and here's the V8 blender from Top Gear (if anyone's interested): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PCRUdpU9PA

Next thing you know, you're going to tell us we shouldn't microwave our batteries either!

 

[ViviTheMage]

solid advice

The video freezes at the same points every time after a couple seconds of playback; if I see, it plays for another couple seconds, then gets stuck again until I see again. Argh I hate Gizmodo.

 

[randay]

One time I accidentally a whole iphone.

The comment about the blender dude looking like peter petrelli and the camera man looking like hiro were amusing.

Save the Blender, Save the World!

 

[nageov3t]

would have been cooler if it was just the battery 😀

 

[Q]

Kind of a let down, I thought there'd be fire

 

[TallBill]

Would have been cooler if they all died.

I don't get it. They just put lighters in the blender, and it blew up? Shens. Had to have been something to get the flames going.

Else, I have no understanding of science.

Have you ever thrown a plastic lighter on the cement? They explode. I used to do this quite often in my early teen years...

By throw, I mean chuck.

The flint goes into the blender too.
Flint + steel moving at high speed + butane = boom.


A lighter in the microwave can also be amusing. First a flame, then some burn time, then an explosion that blows the door open in a puff of flames and makes a few people in the apartment quad open their doors to look for the small cannon. Oh, it's just some engineering students playing with a microwave. False alarm.
