Myth: Can a magazine and toaster be used to blow up a room full of flammable gas, as depicted in The Bourne Supremacy? Result: Busted!

Reference: In the episode "Blue Ice," (2011, Ep. 176) Adam and Jamie placed magazines of varying thicknesses in toasters inside a built replica of Jason Bourne's apartment with methane gas, testing to see if it would cause a large explosion. Several items were featured in a 10-year touring MythBusters Exhibition that presented gadges, remenants of tests, and blueprints for attendees to see.

Inventory Description: This lot consists of one charred and dented toaster. This item sustained damage from an explosion on the show, but remains in good condition. Due to the nature of the show and the frequent use of the items, lots such as this one will show damage from production including but not limited to broken pieces, damaged surfaces and internal parts, and torn pages. Please review the full photograph sets to fully understand the condition of the lot.

Dimensions: 9" x 5" x 6" (22.9cm x 12.7cm x 15.2cm)
