How Does the Gigameter (and Slime) Work? | The History and Physics of Ghostbusters Equipment

Watch our entire Ghostbusting Equipment Series:    • Ghostbusters Equipment  

Just in time for Ghostbusters: Afterlife! We've gone over most of the Ghostbusting equipment in the original film, now it's time to cover its slimy sequel. The Gigameter was seen several times but rarely spoken of. We cover the numerous scripts that set up its use and the psychomagnetheric slime it detects. We also cover comics, cartoons, toys, and the films to establish its history and how exactly it works.
