Your Scientific Method

Did the MythBusters get it right? How would you have busted this myth differently? Share your experiment design for how you would prove/disprove this myth:

  • An important missing piece of this test was that the cell phone "trigger" was merely a ringing cell phone. The source of a spark to ignite the explosion could come from the act of pressing a button to answer the call (or dial), OR from opening a flip phone. They should have tried opening a cell phone in that gas fume chamber, or pressing a few buttons.
