Identify this TV nerd:

Nothing can stop this man, as long as he has science on his side! With a seemingly never-ending supply of bright ideas, bad guys, and conveniently placed props, this dude has pulled of some extremely awesome “hacks”. For example, he

  • once created a rocket launcher using fertilizer and some farming implements.
  • unlocked a car’s remote locking system with a mobile phone.
  • constructed an airgun from a telescope and an air horn

In short, this man’s genius knows no bounds. He’s more awesome than Chuck Norris and Rajanikanth together. Who is he?

Jayanth , Shashank , Dhruva , sharath , alephnull , Gammafunction , prasanth , iamniks , Prasad , Abhishek , shivathilak , uma , Poornima , bobo and nihit figured it out, using naught but google and wikipedia.
