Video Info RE: <VV> Does this sound familiar?????

[Western Canada CORSA]

I saw the Mythbusters episode as well.  I seem to recall hearing that lclc
wired up the vacuum cleaners to 220V power to achieve those dramatic
results.  I thought about posting that info to the Mythbuster message board,
as well as pointing out that Dave Barry (the columnist/satarist) wrote about
the Vacuum Cleaner Blowups in one of his books.

We've got a decent 'vair video collection here, the FC/Econoline comparison,
>From Here to There, VCBU and some others and we've discussed posting them up
on a P2P network.  I'm currently seeding the 1960 Corvair video as a
Torrent.  If you go to www.isohunt.com and search Corvair it should come up.

Regards,
Joel

They must not have been holding their gonads on the correct side, or 
something.   I've seen the GVCBU video.   It's rather dramatic.   I 
especially like the Electrolux "afterburner" exercises.



I own an old Electrolux vacuum that works like a champ and I would 
never sacrifice it to such a cause...

...but watching someone else offer up theirs to the claypool rocket 
works was kewl.
