Storyline

In Smash Lab episode 10, the crew takes fluidized sand from a parts cleaner and experiments with other uses. The technology incorporates blowing air through a bed of sand at a specific pressure and speed, which turns a solid bed of sand into liquid-like instant quicksand. The idea is to use it as a crime deterrent, with a final test proving it can be used as a defensive road barrier. In a dramatic finale, the cast successfully stops a runaway robber and his getaway van in two hidden beds of quicksand.
