Simone Giertz Collaborates With Adam Savage to Build a Humorous Popcorn Machine Helmet

As the newest member of the Tested team, Swedish engineer Simone Giertz once again put her amazing skill and her great sense of humor to use with the Popcorn Machine Helmet. Unlike her other robots, however, this one was planned via Skype with Adam Savage of Mythbusters.

This very special One Day Build is an international collaboration with the newest member of the Tested family! Simone Giertz is an amazing maker who builds mesmerizing robots. To build her latest machine, she chats with Adam from her home in Sweden to design a mechanism to deploy popcorn from a helmet. Adam builds some parts in the cave using his trusty vacuum-form machine!
