My favorite episodes from Mythbusters are when Jamie and Adam are blowing things up to test their limits or just their blow-up-ability. So it brings me great joy that Discovery Channel is putting together an entire series that does just that with “Smash Labs”. The show description gives you plenty of details, but the video below is where you’ll find the fun stuff (big explosions and plenty of crashes).
Smash Lab features a team of maverick engineers as they take on everyday technology and apply it in revolutionary new ways. First they break down the technology to see how it works and then use their know-how to see how it could be used in a different, supersized way. Could bulletproof Kevlar protect an airliner from bombs? Could a car airbag be reinvented to stop a helicopter from sinking after ditching at sea? The Smash Lab team aims to find out.
Smash Labs premieres tonight at 10pm on Discovery after Mythbusters. Check it out.
Smash Lab airs Wednesdays at 10pm starting Jan. 16 on Discovery Channel.
