Ep 4. Bubble Trouble

In season 10, episode 4 of MythBusters, titled "Bubble Trouble," the team tackles the myths surrounding bubbles. They start off by exploring the classic myth that if you're ever stuck in a room filling up with water, you can use a scuba tank to breathe by creating a bubble at the top of the room.

Next up, they investigate whether it's possible to make giant bubbles using various household items. They try using everything from trash cans to hula hoops to make the biggest bubbles possible, experimenting with different bubble blends until they find the perfect one.

The show also delves into the myth that if you're trapped in a sinking car, you can use your car's seat cushion as a makeshift floatation device by trapping a pocket of air inside of it. The team tests this myth by sinking a car into a pool and timing how long it takes for the air pocket inside the cushion to run out.

But perhaps the most explosive myth of the episode involves the idea that you can create a massive explosion by mixing soap and aluminum foil. The team sets out to test this theory by creating their own soap bomb, with an explosive conclusion.

Throughout the episode, hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman break down the science behind each myth and explain why certain techniques work while others don't. They pull out all the stops, engaging in high-speed chases, explosive experiments, and heart-pumping stunts to get to the bottom of each bubble-related myth.

Whether you're a science buff or just a casual viewer looking for some fun experiments, "Bubble Trouble" offers up plenty of myth-busting action and excitement, all while shedding some light on the fascinating science behind bubbles.
