Episode 12 - "Sinking Titanic"
- Air original date: February 22, 2004
Goldfish Memory
This myth is passed so widely that it even makes it part of the "number" of "Time" Magazines at one point.
The Mad Trombonist
This myth is then tested on "Myth Redux"
Titanic Sinking
It was recorded during the episode that the story of Charles Joughin, chief baker of the Titanic , contradicts myths. He testified in a 1912 investigation that he held a stern fence when the ship fell. When the ship fell, he came down; her hair was not wet, much less she was sucked under the boat. However, the story still has confidence, as many ships emit large amounts of air, as they sink. This large amount of air, rising to the surface, creates a situation, where there is loss of buoyancy, in air bubbles and whoever is trapped in it will drown, then the belief that the ship 'attracts' the person floating down with it.
Then, while preparing the myth of Ping Pong Salvage, the myth of Titanic Sinking has been retested and ret-busted as Adam pointed out.
Episode 13 - "Buried in Concrete"
- Air original date: February 25, 2004
Cooked in Concrete
The myth revolves around Jimmy Hoffa, a union leader who suddenly disappears, and a rumor that surrounds his departure. Among one myth is that he was buried under a famous ten-yard lump at the Giants Stadium, a rumor that persisted in various forms of media.
Daddy Long-Legs Jet Taxi
This is the first myth in which MythBusters can not confirm or solve results for logistical reasons. According to the episode, upon arrival at Mojave Spaceport, the insurance company responsible for the plane backed off at the last minute, on the grounds of possible damage to foreign objects to the plane. However, the Top Gear The BBC can independently test and verify this myth.
This myth has been retested and confirmed in Special Supersized.
In addition, during the Storm Chasing Myths special (season 2010, episode 13), a jet engine is used to simulate high wind speeds. Cars are used to demonstrate the desired wind power of a storm chase vehicle. All vehicles are shown blowing a considerable distance from a jet engine with significant damage done to both from the wind alone.
Episode 14 - "Myth Revisited"
- Air original date: June 8, 2004
This is the first episode where MythBusters reexamine previous myths that have been commented upon or criticized by fans or not done as per their original expectations and tested the myth of spin-offs associated with previous myths. This episode also introduced Tory Belleci, Scottie Chapman and Christine Chamberlain and became the first episode to extensively feature Build Team or Mythterns members. This is also the first episode to officially use the Busted/Plausible/Confirmed system; the previous episode was a bit more lax and only Busted as a consistent verdict.
Breakstep Bridge
This myth was tested back for the episode but ultimately did not air in the US version - although the Discovery Europe version told by Robin Banks included it. This myth is also included in the DVD version of MythBusters Outtakes .

Episode_16_.E2.80.93_.22Ancient_Death_Ray.22 "> Episode 16 -" Ancient Death Ray "
- Air original date: September 29, 2004
Ancient Death Radian
The Mythbusters takes on the myth of antiquity, where it claims that Archimedes built a solar-powered weapon by reflecting sunlight onto Roman ships. The results of the test sparked so much controversy, especially among engineering, that the entire episode ("Archimedes' Death Ray") was dedicated to the 2006 birthday test. In 2010, the myth was revisited in the episode of "President of Challenges", in which the President United States Barack Obama challenged Adam and Jamie to make a third attempt to employ more labor. To date, this and JATO Rocket Car is the only myth that has been tested three times on the show.

What is Bulletproof?
Adam and Jamie tested whether some of the things mythically perceived as bulletproof were actually bulletproof - including among them an affirmation by Jamie in the first season on their Lexan barriers being bulletproof.
Bullets can be stopped by...
Episode 17 - "Elevator of Death, Levitation Machine "
- Air original date: October 6, 2004
Elevator of Death
This myth was triggered by the story of a lift attendant who was found alive but badly injured in an elevator car that had fallen 75 floors down at the Empire State Building after a B-25 bomber Mitchell hit him in 1945.
After finding the bowling ball in an abandoned hotel where they tested myth, Kari decided to test his "mini myth".
Levitational Machine
Adam and Jamie tried to build a hovercraft from the vacuum cleaner, and after finding it made sense, decided to compete in a self-made hovercraft race race. Adam, along with Tory and Christine (nicknamed 'Team Savage'), build heavier Lillypad Flyer while Jamie, Scottie, and Kari (nicknamed 'Hyneman's Heroes') work together to create Hyneman Hoverboard .
Episode 18 - "Beat the Radar Detector"
- Air original date: October 13, 2004
Plywood
Adam and Jamie tested myths related to construction, and placed some other objects that were said to act as parachutes for the test.
Beating Radar Gun
This is the first myth that is fully tested by Team Build.
It is possible to legally beat the police speed radar and/or...
Episode 19 - "Quicksand"
- Air original date: October 20, 2004
Killer Quicksand
Equipment in Bath
Tattoo Exploding
Episode 20 - "Exploding Jawbreaker"
- Air original date: October 27, 2004
Explaining Jawbreaker
Inspired by the incident that killed two children - Cameron DeHall and Taquandra Diggs - with what was later diagnosed as a chemical burn after Jawbreaker exploded on their faces. It has also been reported that DeHall has heated Jawbreaker in the microwave. The Diggs family and several other victims' families have sued NestlÃÆ'Â © for medical bills resulting from plastic surgery as well as pain and suffering. The lawsuit was then settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Adam and Jamie, with help from Tory and Christine, tested the myth in various ways. When Jamie cut Jawbreaker open using a band saw, he found that the way candy is built (various layers of sugar around the center of the dense candy) creates the potential for temperature differences. In particular, various layers can heat up at different levels, creating scenarios where the coating can expand, causing pressure on the outer shell and making the candy unstable. (Christine found, using an infrared thermometer, one layer rises to 107 degrees Celsius after microwave heating.) If the candy is compressed - included in one's jaw - it explodes explosively and its almost melting center can cause painful burns.
In closing, Jamie creates a more literal Jawbreaker by removing the core, filling it with gunpowder, adding a fuse and then blowing it up.

Episode 21 - "Pingpong Rescue"
- Air original date: 3 November 2004

- Tanggal asli udara: 10 November 2004
Boom-Lift Catapult
AC vs. Windows Turun
Adam and Jamie handle not just a myth as they call "urban riddles". The debate arises because both cooling methods affect the fuel efficiency of the car - AC requires a lot of power to run, but at the same time, the open window creates a bottleneck. This myth is reviewed in "MythBusters Revisited".
Episode 23 - "Exploding House"
- Air original date: November 16, 2004
Bug Bomb
Speaking to Plants
Needle in the haystack
Adam and Jamie compete with each other in a contest to thwart the old adage. While Jamie worked closely with Christine and Scottie in a machine known as Earth, Wind & amp; A fire that burns straw to leave the needle behind, Adam, Kari, and Tory uses Needlefinder 2000 , a water-dependent machine to separate the needle from the straw (in theory that the needle will sink in water while the straw drifts). Each team had to find four needles among ten bales of straw - three steel of various sizes and one bone. Tim Adam won the contest, largely because his team's engine "processed" their haystacks faster.
Episode 24 - "Ming Dynasty Astronaut"
Astronaut Ming Dynasty
The MythBusters took a story, taken from the 1945 Rockets and Jets by Herbert Zim, describing a contemplative Ming dynasty named Wan Hu and determined whether he was really the first astronaut in space as a result.
Free Energy
By far the most popular of the proposed myths are those pertaining to perpetual motion - it is claimed in an interview by Adam that there is enough material to create three seasons of destruction of potential free energy machines. One test (different from the included radio device), cut for time and displayed on "MythBusters Outtakes" involves a wire baling reel used to suck up electricity from nearby PG & amp; E power lines in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Adam, Jamie, and MIT electrical engineer, Dr. Geo Homsy tests whether real free energy can be obtained by using the following, which tend to involve more famous ideas:
Killer Slipper Fan
The myth of the beheading by jumping to the ceiling fan has two versions, both tested: jump to the propeller from below (through the child jumping up and down on the bed) and jump forward so as to bring the neck into the knife from the side (called "leap lover".) To test this, Kari and Scottie buy ordinary house fans as well as industrial fans (at higher speeds and metal knives compared to wood), and then they and Tori wrap the pig spines and latex arteries containing fake blood in in Adam's statue and adding human cranium. They then added rigs to both scenarios.
