He was best known for his work on the television series MythBusters, on which he designed, built and operated numerous robots and machines to test myths over the course of the show.

As a control test, the Build Team spent three hours, the length of an Indianapolis 500 race, in a dry sauna. Grant and Kari lost 1 pound (0.45 kg) each, while Tory lost 2 pounds (0.91 kg). Next, Tory spent three hours driving a race car around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but only lost 3 pounds (1.4 kg).
Throwing an object backward off a moving vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle is traveling forward will cause the object to drop straight to the ground. Confirmed For their first test, the Build Team used a treadmill running at 10 mph (16 km/h) to launch a weight off the back of a truck, and saw that the weight was propelled 6 ft (2 m) away.
Distances of 10 and 20 ft (3.0 and 6.1 m) were found to be the thresholds of the death and injury zones, respectively, due to the blast shock wave. For each object tested, they placed it at 10 and 20 feet, with rupture disks and a foam-cutout figure (to gauge shrapnel injuries) protected by it.
An icicle over 1.5 ft (0.46 m) in length falling from about 15 ft (4.6 m) completely penetrated a steak, showing it is possible for an icicle to kill a person. A clothed snowman melts slower than a naked one. Confirmed
