In the series premiere, host John Bowler meets a backyard inventor in Tierra Del Sol, Cal., for a look at his lizard-like vehicle that can traverse rocks. Then, they modify the invention, adding a fifth wheel so it can stand up like a kangaroo.
A homemade roller coaster made from a modified wheelchair is spotlighted in Detroit.
The host heads to Reno to check out a "Moon Jumper" contraption. The 40-foot-long counterweighted teeter-totter spins atop a telephone pole and allows for a 90-degree jump straight up.
In South Carolina, the host teams up with a jet-engine builder to design the ultimate multipurpose lawn tool that can blow leaves, melt ice and water gardens.
