Old-school Chinese popcorn machine baffles MythBusters

Presenters of the Discovery Channel's popular science-entertainment television show MythBusters have unexpectedly found themselves at the butt of jokes on Chinese social media.The show was ridiculed online after the episode Express Popcorn aired in China and featured the hosts testing a traditional Chinese popcorn-maker – while they were clad in protective bomb suits.The hosts were testing the speed of the hand-operated, coal-fired machine, which is used to make popcorn – a popular street snack usually consumed during the Lunar New Year holidays."This actually makes me kind of nervous. It reminds me of water heaters about to explode,Such special process is known as Ageing. Based on that, you get the special kind of aluminum beam treatment done, which involves a specialized oven in which the air is blown at high velocity with the controlled temperature." said the show's co-host Jamie Hyneman during the episode.Night vision goggles can be used for various purposes. These, however are used extensively for Household scissors, during the night for an element of surprise to the enemy. However, it can be used for various other reasons like trekking, boating, jungle safari, kids play requirement etc. These goggles are handier in using than binoculars as they need not be held in hands, can be mounted on helmets or worn as goggles.The experiment ended with the hosts opening the machine's sealed popping chamber,Cleaning is an important work in our day to day life. May be your home premises, x431, industries etc, each and every places need to be cleaned properly in order to maintain proper hygiene. letting loose a loud explosion and causing popcorn to fly everywhere.According to use scope, cone crusher is divided into coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine Vibrating feeder.Bacteria cone crusher is a medium crushing and fine crushing equipment for ores that are various hardness of mineral.What's most importance is how to compare the advantage and disadvantage. The "cannon firing" of the popcorn-maker is part of the traditional method's appeal. Tourists usually dub the snack "explosive Chinese popcorn".Street vendors who sell the snack typically use canvas bags or boxes to catch the flying kernels that blast out of the pressurised cooking chambers.The Chinese public's reaction of the MythBusters episode was mixed. Seeing the antiquated machine make a rare appearance on international television, many couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the near-extinct trade of Chinese popcorn making (see video below)."I haven't seen such a machine in a long time. Chinese popcorn defined my childhood…such good memories,According to the different crushing technics requirement, we can design the flow as: crushing firstly and then screening, or screening firstly and then Hydraulic cone crusher. The stone crushing station can be assembled as primary crushing and secondary crushing and also can be assembled as primary crushing, intermediate crushing, and tertiary crushing." someone wrote on microblogging site Sina Weibo. Others, however, pointed to the hosts' plain ignorance."I am now fully convinced that Americans are truly stupid. We Chinese have made popcorn this way for hundreds of years, with a laundry bag attached to catch popcorn. Americans, you never cease to amaze," one person said about the clip, which was posted on the DiscoveryNetworks Youtube channel.Some fired-up netizens even managed to add in a bit of nationalist rhetoric. "Wearing explosion-proof gear? The US imperialists are scared silly now!" wrote one Weibo user."Americans are a joke. Have they not seen the world?" said another.It is hard to say who the joke is on at this point. Chinese netizens – as passionate as they may be – seem to have misinterpreted the show's "science entertainment" label.
