Mythbusters sometimes does redo some of their stuff based on viewer feedback. I believe they redid the rocket on a swing one. It is possible to do, if you have enough rockets and they are oriented properly. But it takes a LOT more force with a swing that has flexible links (i.e. chain) than if it is with straight shafts. And the rockets have to be positioned just right. |
