Ep 20. Episode 20

In this episode of MythBusters, the team tackles a variety of myths involving explosions, including the idea that you can cause a massive explosion by shooting a propane tank and that an explosion can knock off the hinges of a door. They also explore the myth that you can launch a lawn chair into the sky using helium-filled balloons and the notion that a bullet can cause an explosion if it hits a gas tank.

The first myth the team investigates is the propane tank explosion. To test this myth, they construct a metal structure to hold a propane tank and shoot it with a gun. They also try a more controlled explosion using an incendiary device. The results are explosive, but do they confirm the myth?

Next, the team turns their attention to the idea that a door can be knocked off its hinges by an explosion. To test this myth, they rig up a door in a small frame and set off a series of controlled explosions. But will the door stay put or be blown away?

For their third myth, the team takes on the legendary lawn chair flight. They construct a lawn chair with helium-filled balloons attached and send it up into the sky. But does it really work, or is this myth busted?

Finally, the team tests the theory that shooting a gas tank with a bullet can cause a massive explosion. They set up a series of controlled tests, shooting at gas tanks from different distances and angles. But will the bullets cause the tanks to explode, or will the myth be busted?

Throughout the episode, the team uses their signature blend of scientific analysis and experimentation to test each myth to its limits. With plenty of explosions, high-flying antics, and dramatic tests, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Will the myths be confirmed or busted?
