Editorial Reviews

Best-selling author William Gurstelle (Backyard Ballistics and MAKE Magazine contributing editor) blends science, humor and the Barrage Garage Gals into an explosive new instructional DVD. It's MythBusters meets Baywatch. It's the hobbyist's ultimate video guide to all things that go boom. Bill shares the origin, historical significance and simple step-by-step instructions for safely creating high-voltage experiments including the Night Lighter 36 Taser-Powered Potato Cannon, Smoke Bombs, a Jam Jar Jet engine, and the world famous Mentos Fountain. Dale Dougherty, Publisher of MAKE Magazine raves, "Bill Gurstelle's enthusiasm and knowledge come through on Barrage Garage. Bill makes you want to build something to amaze your family and friends. It's like magic, only there are no tricks involved.

This review is from: Barrage Garage (DVD)

This is a good video if you are a visual person that likes to see someone actually fit stuff together. The most irritating part though is the long, unable to fast-forward, and constant safety disclaimers and reminders. It's really too much and it's too bad that a legal department got hold of this.

Stick to the books, many of the same projects are in there.

Also, if you want to watch this with little kids, be warned. The Barrage Garage girls are there as eye-candy, and kind of cheesy.
