In season 4 episode 11 of Mythbusters, titled "Steam Cannon," the team takes on the challenge of building a cannon powered solely by steam. They begin by researching the history of steam cannons and how they were used in battles throughout history.

The team then sets out to build their own steam cannon, using a variety of materials including copper tubing and a propane tank. They also enlist the help of a steam expert to ensure they are using the correct technique to create high-pressure steam.

Once the cannon is built, the team tests it out by firing various objects such as a pumpkin and a watermelon. They also test its accuracy by trying to hit a target from a distance. However, as with any Mythbusters experiment, things don't always go according to plan.

Throughout the episode, the team also takes a closer look at the science behind steam power and its potential uses. They visit a steam-powered sawmill and a steam-powered locomotive to understand how this technology has been used in different ways throughout history.

As always, the team's experiments are accompanied by plenty of humor and banter between hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing them tackle a new challenge and apply their scientific knowledge in creative ways.

Overall, "Steam Cannon" is a fun and educational episode that showcases the ingenuity and creativity of the Mythbusters team. It's a great example of the show's ability to take seemingly impossible challenges and break them down into manageable experiments that can be tested and analyzed.
