Inventions like the combustion engine, telephone, and light bulb have
changed the face of modern day society. Chris Cashman, the host of IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE, just plain isn't smart enough to think of exciting
inventions like those of Edison or Bell - but he does have a knack for
thinking up really stupid contraptions. IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE is the show that takes highly talented individuals and asks them to build highly irregular machines. These hour long shows chronicle the design and build process of machines like the worlds most powerful trebuchet, a trailer home with a booster rocket that takes off like the space shuttle, or even the "Helicrapper," the world's only porta potty that flies like a helicopter.
