Would you jump on a jet powered surfboard? Take a ride in a flying car? Put on a bullet-proof jockstrap? Let a robot brush your teeth? How does a 24-hour pizza ATM sound?
The inventive spirit. It’s what keeps us moving forward – and it’s what inspires industrial designers, NASA rocket scientists and backyard brainiacs to turn their big ideas into an even BIGGER reality. The half-hour documentary series that introduces you to the world’s most fascinating inventions – and the larger-than-life characters behind them.
EPISODE 1
If you’re feeling tired, this robot designed to literally slap you out of bed in the morning should be able to help before we head to the lab to test out the Wing Board which will one day let you surf the skies.
EPISODE 2
If you’ve ever had a fly invasion, you’ll want to check out the Bug-A-Salt, a plastic shot gun taking down one fly at a time using the power of salt, and then we meet the coolest dad ever who built a rollercoaster right in his backyard.

From the streets of Tokyo to the fields of Germany, we’re catching up with an inventor who is half man, half camera and going medieval launching from one of the biggest replica trebuchets in the world.

From useless inventions like an automatic toilet paper dispenser to futuristic ones like a hoverboard Marty McFly would be proud of, this episode has it all, even a jet-engine powered shopping cart.

In Montreal, a group of performers shows of their LED masks that react to music, and in England we catch up with YouTube sensation Colin Furze who is channelling his inner super hero, Wolverine.

The I Save You car may look a bit funny, but it could keep you and pedestrians safe on the road, and if seasickness is a problem for you hop on the extra tall Martini boat that guarantees a super smooth ride.
EPISODE 8
Things are about to get hot inside a dunk tank that replaces water with fire and the fun continues when we meet some rocket enthusiasts who are ready to test their supersized homemade rocket.
