Science Max: Experiments at Large, Elastic Energy

S1 E1 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil builds his human-sized tin foil boat wrong several times before he figures it out.

S1 E2 • 22m • HDTVY7

Newton's 3rd law: "For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction."

S1 E3 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil uses all he knows about elastic energy to build a full-size catapult that hurls pumpkins.

S1 E4 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil tries to reduce friction as much as he can; he also tries to increase it enough to climb walls.

S1 E5 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil builds a bridge out of pasta; building with blocks; making a strong sand castle.

S1 E6 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil tries to build a platform using magnets so that he can levitate; magnet sculptures.

S1 E7 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil adds more ingredients in the classic baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment.

S1 E8 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil makes a rocket out of plastic bottles; crushing a steel drum with air pressure.

S1 E9 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil gives himself super strength using the power of simple machines to move.

S1 E10 • 22m • HDTVY7

Solid, liquid, gas and all the things in-between; what's in between?

S1 E11 • 22m • HDTVY7

Then Phil tries to make a giant paper airplane to see if it will fly.

S1 E12 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil test whether staying put or using something that spin is better for balance.

S1 E13 • 22m • HDTVY7

Phil builds a dragster powered by inertia, then tries to max it out to a dragster he can ride.
