EnderGT...your right...I jumped the gun to respond. This myth has been eating away at me since it aired. I think I missunderstood the myth from the beginning anyway...
It makes sense now...thanks for knocking me back to my senses.

You and I and others may have a firm grasp on the physics involved, but you'd be surprised how many people don't seem to get it.

If you interpret the question as "If the plane doesn't move, can it take off?" then no, the plane can't take off.

If you interpret the question as "Can a conveyor keep a plane from moving?" then yes, the plane can take off.

I'm continuously surprised by people showing up to debate the latter interpretation.

Wow. Don't know where that animosity came from.
Yes, the whole world can see this. There's the Mythbusters stories and a ton of extra web content.
Adam and Jamie were extremely nice to us, and we made it available to the world, not just Sacramento. Sorry I can't make the signal span the globe, mister. Just trying to let fans in Sacramento know when it's on live.

At best, squeezing the ball might loosen the leather up a bit, which would make the collision more elastic. That wouldn't make it go farther, but it could increase the amount of control the kicker has.

the first thing i did to my car was to get rid of that computer,my home computer works better, anyways some people say it will bend the valves,thats just not true, unless they are already bent, i have bin running water with my gasoline for about 20 or 25 years now, well look at the bock 1-11 aircraft, it uses water to boost on take-off, just to get off the ground, there's is no runway that long, and your air speed needs to be about 125 or better for lift-off, so i run water in my car, if it has a computer, i try to rip it out, in my state the emmisions testing limits are .31, when i went in for testing i got a .07, sure i turned down the idel to about 550 rpm's when it was said to run it at 950 rpm's, plus i had a switch on my fan, so i could heat the engine up a little about 475F, plus i had half a tank of ave gas about 130 octane, to crap gasoline= a full tank of fuel, i passed then ,i did it again for an extra 10 bucks, just to see if i got the same .07, no this time it was .06, well what am i going to do, so i framed the test and put it up on my wall, just so everybody could see what my tests were, no smog,no steam. like some cars that my eyes are watering because of all the unburnt gas comming out the tail pipe, don't peop[le do tune-ups anymore?, or maybe just after it dies, i use bocth 4 way plugs good for 100,000 miles, they burn all the fuel, but wait i put in a stronger coil the stock one was rated at 30,000 volts, i put in a power coil at 49,000 volts, maybe that's it, i don't like to waste my fuel, i like to burn it all, plus a little water on the side.......good day..
