Mad Scientists

Fox Channels, National Geographic Channel

John Bowler travels across America and ventures into gadget-filled garages and junk-strewn backyards to meet amateur inventors who are making amazingly weird things. Watch as John test-drives a jet-powered minivan, a fire-breathing wheelchair, a water-powered rocket belt, and more. Once he sees what these 'mad scientists' are capable of, John uncovers each inventor's process of innovation by collaborating with them on a whole new project. They start with the creator's greatest achievement and 'warp' it just enough to challenge themselves. After 48 hours together in a garage, they reveal their Warp creation in a fun, local event.
