How Does the Slime Blower Work? | The History and Physics of Ghostbusters Equipment

Watch our entire Ghostbusting Equipment Series:    • Ghostbusters Equipment  

Ghostbusters: Afterlife has finally come out, but what about the movie that preceded it? The Slimer Blower was the shiny new pack the boys in gray strapped to their packs, but how does it work? We go through previous script drafts, novelizations, comics, video games and more to dig up how it came to be. Then we explore the physics behind the behemoth blower.
