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.

Next Howe & Howe Technologies created the Badger, known as the world’s smallest tank, for the Las Vegas Metro SWAT team. One of the newest creations by the brothers is the SR-1, a subterranean rover able to go down into a mine to transport workers and supplies down the miles-long shafts. The personnel carrier can survive fireball blasts, cratered terrain, and cave-ins.

Many of the vehicles the Howe brothers have invented are created to keep our military safe in the line of duty and police officers safe in the workplace. These vehicles are virtually indestructible, a new vision of safety that can be used during war and every day law enforcement in our country.

The Howe brothers are known in Defense Department R&D circles as the “Wright Brothers of the Military”. At age 6 the brothers did experiments on the family toaster and seeing what they could blow up in the wood stove. At age 16, the brothers purchased their first car and started experimenting with vehicles. In 1996 the brothers started building custom cars and off-road buggies with nicknames like Godzilla and T-Rex. The vision for their company took hold when they created the world’s fastest tank in 2001. After a high performance prototype of the tank became Ripsaw, the company went into high gear.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are the original Mythbusters, making science fun and action packed. Jamie has been involved in movie special-effects for many years and has experience as a scuba diver, wilderness survival expert, boat captain and machinist. Adam has years of experience as a special effects designer/fabricator, actor and educator. Low-key Jamie swears by simple scientific ideas while hyper Adam tends to go out on a limb when it comes to creating solutions to myths. Their personalities are opposite, often leading to comic moments with Adam getting himself in trouble as Jamie solves the problem.

Jamie and Adam often use crash dummies in their experiments, one of which is featured in many episodes. “Buster” is the most often used dummy for their high tech experiments, often losing an arm or leg in the process and pieced together again for the next project. Jamie and Adam also use ballistics gel to create body parts for myths requiring shooting of bullets, projectiles and other high speed science ideas.

Jamie and Adam have been joined by the younger science team of Grant, Kari and Tory, who have science backgrounds and work on projects together in the series. Jamie and Adam build much of the equipment needed for the experiments.Together these talented guys test fascinating science projects such as meat myths, crash and burn myths, strangest myths, movie myths, prison break myths, demolition myths, underwater car escape myth, exploding water heater myth, drinking myths and many more.

With over 130 science episodes of Mythbusters you can get your fill of science geek fun, there are plenty of shows to watch and enjoy. Catch a marathon of Mythbusters on holidays or weekends. You’ll find great entertainment and you just might learn something along the way.

Check out Mythbusters Wednesday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
