Plot Synopsis

In each 40-minute episode of CONTRAPTION MASTERS, two teams of amateur engineers go head-to-head in the ultimate test of ingenuity as they perform ordinary chores in extraordinary ways with elaborate chain reaction machines. Hosted by Richard Hammond and Zach Umperovitch (who also serves as judge), with Dr. Shini Somara providing expert analysis. In the season opener, a trio of competitive brothers and a quartet of egghead engineers are challenged to build an ingenious chain reaction machine that allows Richard to make the bed without leaving the bathtub. After airing as RICHARD HAMMOND'S CRAZY CONTRAPTIONS in the UK, CONTRAPTION MASTERS made its U.S. debut on Sunday, August 7, 2022, as discovery+ released all seven episodes.
