Ep 25. Episode 25

In this episode of MythBusters, the team investigates a variety of myths and rumors. They start off by looking into whether or not it is possible to use a cell phone to ignite gas fumes at a gas pump. This myth has been circulating for years, but is it really true? The MythBusters set up a controlled experiment to find out.

Next, the team takes on a myth involving flying lawn chairs. According to the myth, a man once attached helium balloons to his lawn chair and floated into the air. The team decides to recreate this experiment to see if it is really possible. They start off by gathering all the necessary materials and assembling the flying lawn chair. They then launch the chair and see how high it can go.

The third myth the MythBusters investigate in this episode involves a scene from the movie "Jaws." In the scene, the character Quint uses a compressed air tank to kill the shark. The team tests whether this would actually work in real life, and if it would be possible to shoot a compressed air tank with a regular gun.

The next myth on the list is a popular one: can a penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building kill someone on the ground? The team sets up a test to see how fast a penny can travel and whether its impact would be strong enough to kill someone.

Finally, the team looks into the myth that a person can be thrown back by a powerful explosion and survive. To test this, they start off by building a dummy that will simulate a human body and attaching sensors to it to measure the impact of the explosion.

Throughout the episode, the MythBusters use their scientific expertise to test these myths and determine whether they are plausible or simply urban legends. Viewers will be on the edge of their seat as they watch the team set up explosions, launch flying chairs, and drop pennies from great heights.

As always, the MythBusters approach each myth with a combination of curiosity and skepticism. They use a variety of tools and techniques to gather data and analyze their results. In the end, they draw conclusions based on their findings and offer insights into the science behind each myth.

Fans of the show will enjoy watching the team tackle these myths with their trademark humor and enthusiasm. Each experiment is creative and entertaining, making for a fun and engaging episode. Whether you are a long-time viewer or a newcomer to the show, you will find plenty to enjoy in this episode of MythBusters.
