A team of maverick engineers incorporates everyday technology in revolutionary new ways by breaking it down to study how it works, then use that knowledge in a new, supersized way.
EPISODE 1
Blast Proof Building
Designers and engineers face an almost impossible challenge - to use truck bed liner paint to protect an entire building from a massive explosion.
EPISODE 2
Crash Absorbing Concrete
Can the team use the latest aviation breakthrough to prevent a car or bus crossing the meridian and smashing into oncoming traffic?
EPISODE 3
Hurricane Proof House
The `Smash Lab' teams test a special type of carbon fibre used to reinforce tunnels to see if it can protect a home from destructive hurricanes.
EPISODE 4
Train Crash
The `Smash Lab' team tests an idea to combat the amount of railway crossing accidents by using giant airbags on the front of a train to push cars safely out of the way.
EPISODE 5
Earthquake Proof House
Could technology used to move aircraft cargo also isolate a house from the shaking of the ground? The team tests this theory with an earthquake machine.
EPISODE 6
High Rise Escape
The team attempt to reduce the number of fire-related deaths using magnetic roller coaster brake devices. A stunt man is on hand to test the system.
