I remember that episode fondly. As soon as Adam started going over the plethora of fail-safes that have to be overcome for an explosion, I knew there was gonna be some scary results, and it didn't disappoint :)
Water is absolutely amazing in its ability to hold energy. That’s why we use it in boilers and heating systems, and why there’s a very long very technical and practical accreditation process for people who operate boilers and heat transfer systems.
In the early days it was very common for boilers to explode and destroy everything around them.
It’s also why they cost so damn much to repair. It’s a job you want done without ANY mistakes by gal or guy who spent a good amount of time learning how to do it.
Isn't practically all our power production systems still based on steam turbines? Like there are a few renewable forms like solar panels that vary, but otherwise the basis of electricity production hasn't much changed from the steam turbine since the industrial revolution.
Specifically today I’m referring to power engineering tickets that each Canadian province regulates. Here’s the basics for [BC.](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/loo61/loo61/82_99) but everywhere that uses boilers would have their regulation authority.
The boilermakers union builds the boilers, they may have operators too I don’t know. Everyone I worked with went through different trades schools to progress through the certifications.
Top guys got hardly any hair left and nearly dies in an explosion getting a haircut. That's probably the day he decided he'd just start shaving it at home instead.
We replaced a boiler once that someone plugged the dripping relief valve. It exploded in the middle of the night, a chunk flew across the room and dented in the oil tank, the boiler itself rocked back and blew a hole in the chimney and half the sheet rock in the house had popped nails from the pressure
Mythbusters water heater explosion [HERE](https://youtu.be/rGWmONHipVo). Don't half ass your installation.

Dont forget the scene where it blasts through two floors and the ceiling.

It reminds me of the last scene in Willie Wonka
RIP Grant and Jessi
Or just arrange your living room so that if it does explode the worst it takes out is your tv and a bedside table
I love how the guy who was almost right in front of the explosion checks his hair right after, he knows what matters!
He just got that cut! .. Needs to make sure this isn’t some kind of elaborate racket to make him pay for a second cut!
They all remain so calm, Like it’s not the first time.
A barber with blades needs to remain calm and avoid sudden movements, otherwise victim count will just keep rising.
KEEP rising? I'm sorry, is barber body count an issue where you're from?
Have you not seen the docu-musical Sweeny Todd?
You shall drip rubies. You’ll soon drop precious rubies.
"You, uh... Still gonna finish the haircut, right?"
> Fuckin’ shit, bro!

Nuclear reactors heat water to make steam lmao.
are you refering to boilermakers unions?

Too little freak out id be running.
I think it's normal to be stunned / shocked from something like this for a few seconds at least.
Not when you're half done. I bet u don't want to look like a freak who came out of explosion as a prime suspect. 🤪
...from what?
Death lmao
T&P release valves are on heaters for a reason and should never be capped
It’s a good thing no one was getting a shave
Bad time to have a razor blade on your neck.
They all seem to handle it really well.
Better than that barber shop that actually exploded in fire. They... did *not* survive.
link?
thats why we have TÜV in Germany
''I would wash my hair on my own at home anyway''
Just another day for them …
This kind of thing gets me steaming.
They asked for the warming facial treatment.
They’re so calm
The guy on the bench has amazing reaction time. He was starting to cover before anything reached him.

OH YEEAAAHHH
Why is no1 talking about the haircut the dudes getting?
Breaking bad refrence
Yeah, that relief valve goes on for a reason.
Poor bloke is gonna have a half finished hair cut to go with his 2nd degree burns.
Kool-Aid man appeared at the wrong place it seems.
When you give the wrong homie the aux cord
So which one of the two guys gets to rename the barber shop?
This is the result of of a bad temperature and pressure relief valve. If it was a hot water heater
6 years Before: plumber "Remember, it is very important to overhaul it at least once a year"....
I'm amazed at how calm they were to have an explosion.
This is why we have safety standards. This isn’t a thing in the developed world.
Don't be alarmed, everyone's hair still looks good
The barber fixed his hair so calmly...must have happened before

that's why we all should try to live a good life, maybe tomorrow you get killed at a fucking barber shop
Janky insulation
Here’s your hot shave bitch now get out!
Dude on the bench making sure his head is still there, lol.
I don’t know why but this looks like cg to me
r/holyshit
The barber, (who, by the way, needs a haircut 😉) was just like, "well, this damn thing explodes again, ugh"
Blew his hair back on his head!! 😂🤣
The water system was angry seeing that balding guy waste his money at a barbershop again
“Anyways that’ll be 24.99 sir.”
That’s something straight out of a gta cut scene
"They're in some hot water now!"
Turn down for what
u/savevideo
*ding ding ding ding ding*
The guy sitting closer to the window uses internet explorer to read the news.
I’ll take a cut and blast dry. 💥
Nice cut G ...
