Myths Features in This Episode
Myth #1: Electromagnetic Watch

Can you blow up a propane tank with a bullet?

Myth #3: Speed Boat Survival
Can you make a jump with a speed boat and keep driving unharmed?


Results-
Myth #1 BUSTED - No magnet that size can deflect a bullet, and it takes much a larger and more magnets to deflect it even slightly.

Myth #3 PLAUSIBLE - It is possible under perfect conditions to make the jump and keep going.
