Considering the fact that similar products all ready exist and are being sold it is not impractical.
EDIT:
Yeah..... The product you think is impractical Nissan came up with all ready. A five minute search to find this:

See above. In fact from what I've seen everything you see on this show is going to be variations of actually real world prototypes and products.

This show does seem to spend a lot of money on NOTHING. Actually I remarked to another mentor on our team that I would like to have their budget, or half their budget, every couple years.
You could bust almost every single Mythbusters myth with pen and paper but you know what would happen. It would be more boring than watching grass grow.
