The project for science show Bang Goes The Theory was meant to test an extraordinary concept, put forward during World War II, that ships could be made from frozen water. In the event of steel stocks running out in the 1940s, inventor Geoffrey Pyke suggested it was possible to make an unsinkable aircraft carrier using a material called Pykrete, made of both ice and wood pulp. The mixture could be moulded into any shape and, with a slow melting rate, it was thought perfect for seafaring vessels. The BBC decided to put Pyke's theory to the test by mixing 5,000 litres of water with the hefty material hemp and freezing it in a 20 feet-long boat-shaped mould. It took three weeks to freeze it in one of the UK's largest ice warehouses, in Tilbury, Essex, before it was ready for launch in Gosport, Hants. The plan was to sail the boat, complete with outboard, to Cowes in the Isle of Wight with the show's presenters, Jem Stansfield, Liz Bonnin, Dallas Campbell and Dr Yan Wong, on board...</p></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Blue"></p></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Blue"></p></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Blue"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/15clg0p.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </p></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Blue">...The team made it in to Portsmouth Harbour where they were saluted by members of the navy stationed on destroyer HMS Diamond.

Yang Guanghe, 37, isn't content with performing just one hair-raising stunt - he likes to carry out several from his 30-strong repertoire all at once. For example, during one performance Yang put four lit light bulbs on a table before placing a board on top. On this board were two sharp knives with their blades facing up, which Yang stood on in bare feet. He then attached two hooks onto his lower eyelids from which hung two buckets of water. To round off the trick Yang then began to play a flute...
