Episode 10:</strong> Long-Range Lifeboat</p>
<p><strong>The Challenge:</strong> Use torpedo technology to design a manned Coast Guard lifeboat that can be dropped onto an ocean rescue scene from a long-range plane in a matter of minutes.</p>
<p><strong>The Material: </strong>A phenomenon called supercavitation, where a bubble is formed behind an object that travels through water at a high rate of speed. The bubble sheaths the vessel in an armor of water vapor, reducing its drag by as much as 70 percent, possibly enabling a rescue boat to be dropped straight out of an airplane and survive the impact with the water.</p>
<p><strong>What to Watch For:</strong> Kevin�??s belly flop and the team pushing a boat out of a plane at 100 miles per hour. </p>

Episode 9:</strong> Fluidized Sand<br><strong><br>The Challenge:</strong> Use liquid sand in high-speed chases to deter getaway cars or stolen armored bank trucks.</p>
<p><strong>The Material:</strong> Fluidized sand. This high-tech material is used to clean metal tool surfaces. When water is blown through the sand, it turns into quicksand instantly. The Smash Lab team wonders if it can become a quick crime deterrent.<br><strong><br>What to Watch For:</strong> A huge bed of sand becoming liquid. </p>
