List of problems solved by MacGyver and how he did it. This is an episode-by-episode breakdown of all the impossible things MacGyver accomplished in 5 seasons of television perfection. Also, it discusses a handful of MacGyverisms as duplicated by Mythbusters.
Some of my Favorites:
- Uses a pocketknife to disarm the self-destruct mechanism of a downed satellite. He then uses pieces of the satellite to create a hang glider - "To Be A Man" (1x17).
- Creates an incubator for eagle eggs (MacGyver <3 Nature!) with padding from a chair and vegetable oil. He says that "the oil combines with the fibers in the padding to create a low level spontaneous combustion," generating heat - "Eagles" (2x08).
- MacGyver uses a pulley system fashioned from torn fabric, baling wire, and toy car wheels to assist a small dog in crossing a busy road - "Second Chance" (5x05).
- In the final episode, MacGyver escapes from a dreamlike near-death experience; he envisions the Egyptian god of the afterlife (Anubis) locks him in the engine room of a passenger boat. MacGyver escapes by connecting a firehose between the driveshaft of the engine and the escape hatch, with the engine pulling the hose tighter until the hatch breaks. He even escaped death using a MacGyverism!
