Who you gonna call

Who you gonna call Not these guys, I hope. Hopefully, instead youll call these two: Last night, LSC hosted the Mythbusters, Adam and Jamie, who came to MIT to describe some of their work and how they get inspiration for what they do. Ive never seen a more packed Kresge. Not even for a Logs concert. Mythbusters on stage. Now, what you might not know is that the Mythbusters are not foreign to MIT. (Hops into Time Machine) The year was 2005, and one day I found myself walking out of class across Killian Court to see a number of mirrors all lined out on the grass. Last year, students from Professor David Wallaces Product Engineering Process (2.009) class had the opportunity to try to bust the Archimedes Death Ray myth. So a couple students went out to San Francisco to help the Mythbusters test the myth. The early test at MIT resulted in the large flash ignition; however, when it came to the show, the MIT team along with the Mythbusters were not able to recreate the flame. More on MIT and the Archimedes Death Ray can be found here
