Science Max | THE ROCKET PART 1 | Season 1 | Science Max Full Episodes

have you ever done a science experiment and wondered what did it be like if you did it big I have [Music] yeah my name is Phil and I take your everyday science experiments and do them big this is science Max at large [Music] Newton's third law is the science behind balloon powered rocket cars it's also the science behind a maxed out rocket car that I can ride plus bowling balls and an interrupting sign today on science Max experiments at Large greeting science maximites I am Phil mccordick and this is science Max experiments at large today we're going to be experimenting with the balloon powered car here's how it works [Music] it all has to do with Newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction uh we don't we don't have to do this now we can this is all for later we can build The Cars first and then we can uh let's go over here so how do you build a balloon-powered car well I suggest you be science maximites because there's any number of ways you can build a balloon powered car you do not have to follow my design you should come up with one of your own it may even be better than the one I built but I will give you some tips though that make it a lot easier first of all you need something to stick your balloon on that has an opening on it I used a turkey baster for this car I just popped the top up and remember to tell an adult that you're using the turkey baster and then you stick the balloon on there and it allows you to attach something to the car and it also makes it easier too blow up the balloon you can use any number of things even just uh any kind of tube that you find lying around it helps you attach the balloon to the car and it helps you blow up the balloon way easier the other thing you should think about when you make your balloon powered car is how you're going to make the wheels roll once you've decided on the base of the car you could use anything even just a piece of cardboard like this you can do your wheels in two ways the first way is to attach the wheels to the axle this is how I made the axle of this car I used a shish kebab skewer and I stuck it inside a straw just like that and then I attach the lids to the shish kebab skewer so the lids and the shish kebab skewer are attached and they rotate in the straw that's one way to make the wheels turn the other way is to tape down the axle or whatever you're going to use and have the wheels spin around on the axle two great ways to make your wheels turn and it really kind of depends on the wheels you're using you can make your own design and keep refining it and making it better and faster or do what I like to do and make a whole bunch of different cars so we've got this one this one I made out of paper plates and this is a snorkel awesome this one is the rock car because there's a rock on it I've got a dragster model it's a long broom handle and it might not work that well but who who knows and this is my favorite design this made out of waffles and an ice cube tray this is why I make a whole bunch of different cars because I can race them Sunday Sunday we'll drag race off awesome first up The Eliminator [Applause] better late than never it's the procrastinator [Music] [Music] rushing the competition it's the Terminator weakness feel the chills of the refrigerator all right and last but not least the um regurgitator ah well when you build your balloon powered cars you can figure out what worked or what didn't work and try modifying your designs to make them work even better that is science and now we're gonna Max it out because this is science Max experiments at large so we're going to take that small balloon powered car that we just built and we're gonna make it much much bigger I'm going to go to the Center for skills development and training and we're going to use the science behind the small balloon powered car and we're gonna make it big that science is Newton's third law but there's plenty third lawsuit there's plenty of time for this later we're not doing it we're not doing this bit now we're doing that bit in a minute so we could no I said we're doing it later we're doing it but you know ah whoa hi Sarah hi Phil this is Sarah and she's got a master's degree in physics for McMaster University that's right and we're going to be talking about Newton's third law look out look out duck uh sorry sorry there was a sign that kept coming in um never mind Newton's third law well what is that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction right so how does that work with our balloon car ah cool okay so if you blow up the balloon what's gonna happen when you release it is the air is going to push out with a certain Force which in turn is going to cause the cart to move forward with the exact same Force yeah works great so how come it doesn't work with my rock cart ah wow well actually it did work so the balloon still pushes with the exact same Force which causes the cart to have the exact same Force pushed forward but your rock is really heavy so you probably didn't see it move oh so a lighter cart works better with the same amount of force that's it well there you go Newton's third law what Newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction I'm really starting to dislike that sign Phil are you okay yeah I'm fine [Music] our small balloon-powered car works because of Newton's third law for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction the air pushing out the balloon this way pushes the car with the same amount of force this way so in order to Max it out the plan is just to get a bigger wheeled cart and a much bigger balloon so everything should work out the same so sir Oh I thought what we would do is I would in order to max out the balloon powered car what we need is a cart to start with and then I ride it and we have a giant balloon and then I go do you have a giant balloon giant balloon so step one uh Sarah blows up the balloon okay use this air compressor probably a lot faster Sarah and I get to work blowing up the balloon and it takes a long time the very long time okay human size balloon power car test pick one all right Sarah you got it yeah okay Let It Go Go Let It Go you did let it go it's let go nothing is happening it's not coming out fast enough and you're a bit too massive I don't think it's gonna work like this really yeah okay uh balloon powered car test two no fill I'll just take it what happened ah I don't think it worked the balloon popped Phil you okay this is why you wear protective eyewear uh yeah so that didn't work no no should we get another balloon we need something else okay well the air coming out of the balloon just what didn't have enough Force so we need the air to come out with more Force yeah do we get what a bigger a bigger balloon I don't think that's gonna work I don't think it's that I think we need something with compressed air oh like a SCUBA tank or a fire extinguisher or something like that yeah that's what we need okay sure well we can all right so I don't know if that's safe to do that so we'd have to build a like a cage or something I don't know if it's gonna work on this all right well back back to the drawing board so what we should do is we should get up to find these tanks you get the tanks and then we make like a frame out of aluminum or something okay that could work yeah they can hold the tank so they're safe and then what we should do is
