'Lead Balloon'

REPEAT

This week Jamie and Adam test the old adage "going down like a lead balloon" by attempting to construct a balloon made of lead and testing whether it would actually fly. Will the Mythbusters do the seemingly impossible? And, after seeing multiple videos on-line with surfers who manage to ride waves generated by explosions in the water, Grant, Tory and Kari decide to put the myth to the test. But before they can bust any myths, they are going to have to get into the water and learn how to surf!

With a myth this big, it's best to test its plausibility with a maquette first. So is it possible for a plane to take off from a moving runway? Perhaps the answer is all in the modelling. Then again, perhaps not.

The Mythbusters ask do you use more gas when driving angry? And what happens if you tenderise a steak with explosives?

Meanwhile, Kari, Tory and Greg head to a deserted urban area to test whether driving while angry might decrease fuel efficiency.
