Join Russell Zeid, Tom Stewart, Rick Minke as they uncover the wackiest patents from the past century, and find the strangest or most fantastically odd ideas that never got made.
In each episode they choose one item or idea and use their combined, diverse skills to bring it to life and bend it into something ultra-cool. Catch the premiere Wednesday, April 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, click here for the upcoming schedule, and see what the show is all about!
BICYCLE LAWNMOWER
Cutting grass and cycling collide in these strange, mostly defective, sometimes effective versions of the "Bicycle Lawnmower."

12-GAUGE GOLF CLUB
Bullets and golf balls collide in an unlikely, ballistic combination of clubs and guns.

The evolution of the "traditional" beer-helmet was inevitable. The Patent Benders take this invention to new heights and declare: "The Bar Is Open."
CHUTE 'N' SHOES
A 19th Century helmet-mounted parachute designed to save lives is bent into some oddly effective pet-saving devices.

A carwash for human bodies. Quite a concept-and one that the Patent Benders get their hands dirty on, making it ... big, better, stronger and soapier.
THE FISHING SHOW
The Patent Benders go fishing with balloons, boats, guns and helicopters. Yeah, that's normal.

The concept of fast food is redefined when the Patent Benders take on the design for a motorized picnic table, and turn it into a fire-breathing, burger-serving, metal monster.
THE BABY SHOW
Baby cages, baby-butt-bidets, auto-patters and panzer-tank strollers. It's all in a day’s work for the Patent Benders.
THE BETTER MOUSETRAP
The ultimate inventors' dream of making the better mousetrap is put to the test and bent well beyond.
MANCATCHER
A bank robber's worst nightmare is put to the test and updated to be a lean, mean man-catching machine.
SUPER SHOPPING CART
The boys go shopping, and get a little help with their build from some "real shoppers" to design the ultimate shopping cart.

The Patent Benders get stopped in their tracks while tackling the complex job of making a motocycle that converts to a water-borne vehicle…then make something even cooler.
