The HP Technology Forum & Expo team would like to know which of the following episodes you would like to see dissected at our Thursday morning general session. Take a look at our Top 10 and then visit our poll on the online forums to vote for the one you would like Adam and Jamie to discuss.
- Episode 29: Cooling a Six-pack—The mystery is finally over! The MythBusters use ice, water, refrigerators, freezers, and fire to test the fastest way to cool a six-pack.
- Episode 57: Mentos and Soda—Adam and Jamie are trying to figure out the theory behind the chaos when diet cola and Mentos mix. Inspired by an internet phenomenon, the MythBusters take on the controversy surrounding these fizzy fountains. Adam and Jamie pit soda against soda and candy against candy to find the perfect cocktail for their explosive exploits.
- Episode 34: Bulletproof Water—How deep must you dive to survive a gunshot? Adam and Jamie are on the case, unleashing their arsenal of pistols, shotguns, and supersonic rifles to find the answer.
- Episode 32: Jet Pack—Adam and Jamie embark on the longest and most ambitious build they've ever undertaken: creating their own personal flying machine from scratch. Are these machines as magnificent as their designers claim? To make the project more realistic, the two limit themselves to a build period of one month and a budget of $10,000.
- Episode 54: Crimes and Myth-Demeanors 1—The MythBusters put great movie heists to the test. Are Hollywood break-ins complete hocus pocus, or can you really crack the tightest security systems in the world with nothing more than tight-fitting black clothes and a great soundtrack? Adam and Jamie, with the help of a "surreptitious entry handbook," attempt to scale an air duct with hilarious results. The team then tries to tiptoe their way around a laser system before facing the mother of all safes
- Episode 5: Hammer Bridge Drop—Can Jamie and Adam cheat death? First, they test the theory that a person could survive a leap from a bridge by throwing a hammer in the water first. According to urban legend, the hammer should break the plane of the water's surface, thereby softening the landing.
- Episode 71: Pirate Special—Arggghhh, me hearties! Jamie and Adam plundered the seven seas in search of pirate parables and maritime myths. The result? This 2-hour spectacular episode! And, with four stories of hijinks on the high seas the action is thick and fast. Playing with more firearms, the guys try to figure out how deadly cannonballs really are versus the splinters sprayed from a mighty broadside blast.
- Episode 49: Cell Phones on Planes—So, supposedly, if you fill a normal raft with helium, you can fly. Let's see if the guys can get their boat into the air—get ready for the biggest MythBusters' build ever. Meanwhile, Tory and Kari tackle a conspiracy theory familiar to many frequent fliers. Can your cell phone interfere with a plane's instruments?
- Episode 31: Breaking Glass—Can a singer really break glass with just his or her voice? Jamie and Adam pair up with rock singer and voice coach Jaime Vendera to find out.
- Episode 17: Elevator of Death—Jamie and Adam test their luck in the elevator of death. If an elevator suddenly falls, can you save yourself in the nick of time by jumping just before it hits bottom? Or will this leap of faith have disastrous consequences for Buster?
