Howe & Howe on Discovery
Howe & Howe Tech is a new Discovery science show on Tuesday nights. The reality program stars twin brothers, Mike and Geoff Howe, who are known for extreme vehicle fabrication and design. Mike and Geoff are inventors who design and build vehicles ranging from high-speed tanks to subterranean rovers. The brothers happen to be married to two sisters, Tracy and Tammy, who work in the company office.
Mike and Geoff rely on their hard working team to help them create cutting-edge vehicles. The deadlines are often tight and testing must be done on these extreme vehicles before they are shipped out. Testing can be complex, requiring riding over rough terrain to blowing up explosives under the vehicle.
The Howe brothers have created a number of extreme vehicles used by the military, SWAT and law enforcement agencies. The Ripsaw is the original vehicle created by the brothers, making them famous internationally. The Ripsaw turn on a dime, goes from zero to 50mph in 3.5 seconds, and can scale a 30-foot 45-degree hill. $1.5 million may seem like a lot of money to produce the Ripsaw but it is cheap in comparison to other vehicles on the market.
Mythbusters is a science show with plenty of action and explosions involved in the experiments. Mythbusters has evaluated well-known myths and accepts questions about myths from viewers of the show, making science cool again. The fun is in the way tests are performed and just how far the Mythbusters will go to prove or bust a myth.
