Patent Bending
S01E06: Human Carwash
In this soapy episode, the crew tackles the design and construction of a large scale, multi-level “Human Carwash.” Originally designed in the age of atomic bombs, the human carwash was intended to wash toxic fallout off of human bodies - today it's only relevant at mud wrestling contests… or very messy kids.
Overview
Patent Bending is a Canadian reality television series that premiered August 22, 2006, on the Discovery Channel. The series is based on building some of the weird, fantastical ideas inventors have patented over the last century. Once physically realised, the flaws in these ideas tend to be humorously obvious and explain the ideas' lack of commercial success. The team then tries to come up with an improved version, thus the "bending" part of the title, meeting with varying results.
