Transcript: Water Car
A group of young men appear doing a series of science experiments.
Phil is in her twenties, clean-shaven and with short curly dark blond hair. He wears gray trousers, a blue T-shirt and a yellow lab coat.
Phil says HAVE YOU EVER
DONE A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
AND WONDERED IT WOULD BE
LIKE IF YOU DID IT BIG?
I HAVE.
MY NAME IS PHIL
AND I TAKE YOUR EVERYDAY
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
AND DO THEM BIG.
Phil appears under the water, in a skydiving chamber and on a trolley.
Phil says THIS IS SCIENCE MAX!
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
The logo of the show appears. It’s a black and yellow triangle with an exploding element inside and a blue sign across that reads "Experiments at Large."
Voices shout SCIENCE MAX!
Phil scraps the Science Max! logo off a shipping pallet with a pressure washer.
Phil says TODAY, I'M MAXING
OUT THE POWER OF WATER.
WATER IS VERY HEAVY!
PRESSURIZING WATER
TO MAKE A WATER-POWERED CAR,
WATER PRESSURE PUMPKIN CARVING,
WATER-FLYING, AND MORE!
Buster appears banging an ice bar against a chopping board.
(HEAVY BANGING)
Phil says ALL ON THIS EPISODE
OF SCIENCE MAX,
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
Phil drags a water barrel across the lab floor.
Phil says GREETINGS SCIENCE MAXIMITES!
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
WELCOME TO SCIENCE MAX,
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
MY NAME IS PHIL.
TODAY WE ARE GOING
TO BE LOOKING AT WATER.
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
WATER IS VERY HEAVY,
BUT THAT'S OKAY!
BECAUSE WE NEED IT TO BE HEAVY
FOR THIS EXPERIMENT TO WORK.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED
THAT MUCH OF IT THOUGH,
MAYBE I COULD GET,
OH HERE WE GO.
He grabs a container and takes some water off the barrel.
He says YEAH, THAT'S
PROBABLY ALL I NEED.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE
BUILDING A WATER-POWERED CAR.
YOU'LL NEED
A BASE FOR YOUR CAR,
LIKE THIS STYROFOAM,
WATER BOTTLES, SHISH-KABOB
SKEWERS, STRAWS, SCISSORS,
ELASTICS, PAPER PLATES,
TAPE, A SQUARE PAPER TOWEL,
MODELING CLAY, VINEGAR,
BAKING SODA, WATER
AND GLUE OR A HOT GLUE GUN IF
YOU HAVE AN ADULT TO HELP YOU.
YEAH, I KNOW THIS ONE
IS PRETTY INVOLVED.
THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD
GO TO THE WEBSITE
FOR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS.
A caption reads "tvokids.com/sciencemax."
Phil says TAKE YOUR PAPER PLATES
AND GLUE TWO TOGETHER
TO MAKE A WHEEL.
THEN MAKE THREE MORE.
WRAP ELASTICS AROUND YOUR BASE
AND THEN TAPE STRAWS
ON THE BOTTOM.
TRIM THEM DOWN,
MAYBE ABOUT THAT MUCH.
THEN, TAKE
YOUR SHISH-KABOB SKEWER
AND PUSH IT THROUGH A WATER
BOTTLE CAP TO MAKE A HOLE.
THEN STICK ONE WHEEL ON,
PUT THE SKEWER
THROUGH THE STRAW, AND
Phil says DO THE SAME THING
ON THE OTHER THREE SIDES.
Phil says THEN TAKE
THE WATER BOTTLE CAP
AND GET AN ADULT TO HELP YOU
MAKE A PERFECT HOLE IN IT
THAT FIT THAT FITS YOUR STRAW.
THEN USE SOME MODELING
CLAY AND HOT GLUE
TO SEAL THE STRAW AND
THE CAP SO IT'S AIRTIGHT.
ATTACH THE WATER BOTTLE
TO THE BASE OF YOUR CAR,
THEN FILL IT WITH SOME
WATER AND VINEGAR.
NEXT, YOU'LL WANT TO WRAP
UP A SPOONFUL OF BAKING SODA
IN THE SQUARE PAPER TOWEL SO
YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE PACKAGE.
FINALLY, STICK
SOMETHING UNDERNEATH
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BOTTLE,
TO RAISE THE END
UP OFF THE BASE.
He uses a cork.
He says BRING YOUR CAP
AND THEN GO OUTSIDE.
AH HERE WE ARE OUTSIDE, YEAH I
KNOW WE'RE NOT REALLY OUTSIDE
BUT I HAVE A SCIENCE LAB,
AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T
SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
YOU DO THIS OUTSIDE.
AND DON'T
FORGET YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!
NOW THIS IS WHY WE MAKE A
LITTLE PACKET OF BAKING SODA,
BECAUSE WE WANT TO DELAY THIS
REACTION AS LONG AS WE CAN.
He puts the packet n the water mouth.
Phil says SO I LIKE TO HOLD IT THERE
WE'LL HOLD IT THERE
WITH ONE FINGER,
SO I CAN GET THE CAP READY,
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT
TO REACT UNTIL WE
CAN GET THE CAP ON
AND THEN KINK THE STRAW TO
KEEP THE PRESSURE INSIDE
UNTIL WE'RE READY TO LET IT GO.
THEN AT THE LAST SECOND, YOU
WANT TO DROP THAT PACKET IN
AND QUICKLY CAP IT,
AND KINK THE STRAW, AND
WHO-HOO, WHO-HOO-HOO-HOO!
The reaction propels the car across the lab.
He says HAHA, THERE YOU GO,
A WATER-POWERED CAR.
NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING, YOU'RE THINKING
PHIL, WAIT A MINUTE,
THAT'S A VINEGAR
AND BAKING SODA POWERED CAR.
WELL, KIND OF, THE
VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA
CREATE A GAS, AND THAT GAS
CREATE PRESSURE IN THE BOTTLE
AND THAT PRESSURE FORCES
THE WATER OUT OF THE BOTTLE.
BUT IT'S THE WATER
LEAVING THE BOTTLE
THAT CREATES THE THRUST.
THE WATER GOING THAT WAY
PUSHES THE CAR THAT WAY.
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL
AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS
MAX OUT THE WATER POWERED CAR.
FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
WATER GOING THAT WAY
SO WE CAN GO THAT WAY.
BUT WE MEANS ME AND SOMEONE
ELSE, WHO CAN HELP ME?
OH I KNOW!
ANTHONY, FROM THE
ONTARIO SCIENCE CENTER,
HE'D BE GREAT AT THIS.
HOPEFULLY HE'S NOT BUSY.
WE'RE GOING TO MAX OUT THE
WATER-POWERED CAR, HAH.
He puts on a yellow lab coat and goes through the portal.
(SUCTION IN SOUND, DOOR CLOSES)
He appears at the science centre.
Phil says ANTHONY!
He scares Anthony and he drops what he was carrying.
Anthony has short curly brown hair and wears gray trousers, a yellow T-shirt and a white lab coat.
Anthony says PHIL!
Phil says SORRY ABOUT THAT,
DID I SCARE YOU?
Anthony says UH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
Phil says HOW YOU DOING?
Anthony says AWESOME, THANKS
Phil says GREAT, I WAS WONDERING
IF I COULD GET YOUR
HELP ON AN EXPERIMENT?
Anthony says YEAH, OK, WHICH ONE?
Phil says I'M BUILDING A WATER-POWERED
CAR, IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.
IT'S AT SCIENCE MAX
HEADQUARTERS, I'LL SHOW YOU.
(SWOOSH)
They now appear at a parking lot.
Anthony says PHIL? PHIL?
Phil says ANTHONY! I'M HERE.
Anthony says PHIL, WHERE ARE WE?
Phil says OH, THIS IS THE PARKING LOT
FOR SCIENCE MAX HEADQUARTERS.
SO TODAY, WE WANT TO
MAX OUT THE WATER CAR!
Anthony says THIS IS AWESOME!
Phil says YEAH, SO WHAT
YOU DO IS YOU USE VINEGAR
AND BAKING SODA, YOU
PRESSURIZE THIS CONTAINER
Anthony says OK
Phil says AND WATER SHOOTS OUT THAT WAY,
SO THE CAR GOES THIS WAY.
Anthony says AH NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL
AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
Phil says YEAH, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF,
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE HERE,
BECAUSE I COULD REALLY
USE YOUR HELP AND ADVICE
ON HOW TO MAKE THIS BIGGER.
Anthony says OK, SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED
A BIGGER TANK TO PRESSURIZE,
WHAT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Phil puts the car on a barrel.
Phil says SO WE NEED SOMETHING
THAT CAN HOLD PRESSURE,
DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD WORK?
Anthony says I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D WANT TO
Phil says AND WE'D HAVE TO PUT
LIKE PRESSURE FITTINGS
ON THE BARREL, LIKE CUT
A HOLE AND WELD THEM ON,
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
Anthony says SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS
WOULDN'T WORK, SO WE NEED UM
Phil says OK SURE, I GOT SOME OTHER
STUFF OVER THERE MAYBE
THAT WE COULD USE
Anthony says UM, OH CHECK THIS OUT,
YEAH I THINK THIS WOULD WORK.
THIS WOULD WORK A LOT BETTER.
He points at an oil tank.
Phil says WELL THIS IS MY
STAND-UP WASH TUB BASE.
He pretends to play an instrument on the oil tank.
Anthony says YOUR WHAT?
Phil says SO WE'LL REUSE IT, YEAH?
Anthony says YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
THINKING NOW, THOUGH?
THE PROBLEM IS I THINK THIS
IS LIKE AN OIL DRUM, RIGHT?
Phil says IT IS, IT'S AN OIL
TANK FROM A HOUSE.
Anthony says AND THESE THINGS ARE
NOT BUILT FOR PRESSURE.
Phil says YOU CAN GET WATER TANKS
THAT YOU PRESSURIZE.
Anthony says OH LIKE WATER HEATERS,
YEAH YOU CAN PRESSURIZE,
THEY'RE BUILT FOR THAT STUFF,
YOU PRESSURIZE THEM
IN YOUR BASEMENT
AND THEN THE WATER
TRAVELS UP TO YOUR SHOWER
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Phil says THAT MAKES, SO
ALL WE NEED TO DO
IS GET A PRESSURIZED WATER TANK
Anthony says OK
Phil says PUT WATER IN IT,
PUT PRESSURE IN IT,
AND PUT IT ON WHEELS!
Anthony says AH HAHA!
Phil says AND THEN WE OPEN THE
VALVE AND IT GOES, RIGHT?
Anthony says THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!
Phil says ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET TO IT MAN.
OK I GOT SOME WATER
TANKS OVER HERE
IN THIS CORNER OF
THE PARKING LOT.
Anthony says SERIOUSLY?
A slate appears with the caption "Please Stand By."
Buster has short curly dark blond hair and wears a striped shirt and a red apron.
He says BEING A CHEF
IS MY ABSOLUTE PASSION,
AND COOKING UP SCIENCE
RECIPES IS MY SPECIALITY.
I'M BUSTA BEAKA, AND THIS
IS COOKING WITH SCIENCE.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
An oval logo with a flask appears with the caption "Cooking with Science."
Buster says OH, HELLO, WHEN YOU'RE A
PROFESSIONAL CHEF LIKE ME
YOU SPEND LOTS OF TIME
PERFECTING THE PERFECT RECIPES.
I KNOW MY WAY AROUND A KITCHEN,
AND TODAY I'D LIKE
TO SHOW YOU ONE,
He opens the oven and says THAT'S NOT THE FRIDGE!
OH, HAHA, TODAY I'D LIKE TO
SHOW YOU ONE OF MY FAVOURITES.
QUAIL TRUFFLE GAZPACHO
CAKES ON A PLATE OF ICE.
He takes the dish out of the freezer and the audience goes OOHH.
Buster says BEAUTIFUL, AND
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT.
TAKE SOME QUAILS AND
TRUFFLES AND SOME GAZPACHO
AND PUT IT INTO A CAKE.
DELICIOUS.
AND HERE'S THE INTERESTING
PART, HOW TO MAKE
THE PLATE OF ICE.
(AUDIENCE OOHS)
HOW DID I DO IT?
WELL I TRIED MANY
DIFFERENT METHODS
AND NONE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
(BANGING)
He appears trying to cut an ice bar with several utensils.
Buster says HAHA, BUT NOW I LET
SCIENCE DO THE WORK FOR ME.
SO HERE'S WHAT I DO,
YOU SEE I'VE GOT MY
LARGE BLOCK OF ICE,
AND I'VE GOT A FISHING
LINE OVER THE TOP,
AND ON THE BOTTOM I'VE
GOT TWO HEAVY WEIGHTS.
NOW WE WAIT.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
THE HEAVY WEIGHTS
PUT PRESSURE ON
THE FISHING LINE.
THIS PRESSURE MELTS THE ICE
WHERE IT'S PRESSING DOWN.
AS THE ICES MELTS,
THE FISHING LINE MOVES
THROUGH THE BLOCK OF ICE
AND EVENTUALLY CUTS
ITS WAY THROUGH.
THERE WE ARE, MY HOURS OF
WAITING HAVE ALMOST PAID OFF.
YOU SEE, I'VE GOT A PERFECT
LINE THROUGH THE ICE
(AUDIENCE OOHS, CLAPPING)
AND I STOPPED IT JUST
BEFORE IT FINISHED.
IT'S THE PRESSURE OF THE LINE
ON THE ICE THAT MAKES IT WORK.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS
WHEN YOU USE ICE SKATES.
YOU SEE IT'S A VERY THIN LINE,
AND YOUR BODY
WEIGHT PRESSES DOWN
ON THE ICE, MELTS IT A BIT,
AND ALLOWS YOU TO
GLIDE ACROSS THE ICE.
IT ALSO ALLOWS ME TO POP
THIS OFF, THERE YOU ARE.
YOU SEE, PERFECT PLATE OF
ICE TO PUT MY DELICACY ON.
LET'S JUST TRY THAT NOW.
THERE WE—
He drops the ice plate.
(CLANK)
He says UM...
(GLASS BREAKING)
A slate appears with the caption "Please Stand By."
The logo of the show appears crushing the screen.
Phil says SO
I'VE JOINED ANTHONY,
AND WE'RE GOING TO MAX
OUT OUR WATER-POWERED CAR.
OUR SMALL DESIGN
WORKS BY CREATING GAS,
WHICH CREATES PRESSURE,
WHICH FORCES THE WATER
OUT OF THE BOTTLE,
CREATING THRUST.
OUR NEW PLAN IS TO
GET A WATER TANK,
PUT IT ON WHEELS
AND PUT WATER IN IT,
AND THEN WE USE
AN AIR COMPRESSOR
TO PRESSURIZE THE AIR INSIDE.
WHEN WE OPEN THE VALVE, THE
WATER IS FORCED OUT THIS WAY,
WHICH CAUSES OUR WATER
CAR TO GO THAT WAY.
An animation shows the process on a white board.
In the parking lot, Phil says HAHA, SO WATER CAR,
MAXED OUT VERSION
Anthony says UH-HUH
HUGE
Phil says WATER TANK
Anthony says AND
FILLED WITH LOTS OF WATER
AND LOTS OF AIR
(AIR HISSES)
He takes the compressor hose out of the tank and directs the hose to Phil’s hair.
Anthony says WHOA THAT'S A LOT OF IT,
Phil says DID IT MESS UP MY HAIR?
Anthony says UH, NO YOU LOOK
FINE, YOU LOOK GREAT.
Phil says OK, GOOD.
Anthony says NOW THE ONLY THING LEFT IS
WE JUST GOTTA OPEN
THIS VALVE HERE,
DO YOU WANNA DO THE HONOURS?
Phil says UH YEAH, LET'S DO IT, OK!
Anthony says OK, HERE WE GO.
They say THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!
(AIR HISSES)
Phil says WE
OPENED THE VALVE
AND OUR PRESSURIZED
TANK MOVES FORWARD.
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE
TANK FORCES THE WATER OUT
WITH ENOUGH FORCE
TO MOVE THE TANK.
(MAN YELLING EXCITEDLY)
Anthony says THAT WAS AWESOME!
Phil says THAT WAS A GREAT RUN, YEAH!
Anthony says THAT WAS AMAZING!
Phil says SO PRESSURIZED WATER TANK
ON WHEELS, TOTALLY WORKS
Anthony says TOTAL SUCCESS
Phil says SO, BECAUSE THIS
IS SCIENCE MAX,
THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO NOW
IS MAKE IT BIGGER, RIGHT?
Anthony says BIGGER, EXACTLY, YEA!
OK SO PROBLEM IS I DON'T THINK
WE'RE GOING TO FIND A TANK
BIGGER THAN THIS ONE, SO
Phil says CAUSE THEN IT WOULD
BE TOO HEAVY, RIGHT?
Anthony says EXACTLY, MAYBE WHAT WE CAN
DO IS GET A LOT MORE WATER
Phil says OK
Anthony says AND THEN WE FIND A WAY
TO PRESSURIZE THE WATER.
Phil says OH, SO DON'T PRESSURIZE
THE WHOLE TANK,
JUST THE STREAM OF WATER
THAT'S GOING OUT OF THE TANK
Anthony says AS IT COMES OUT, EXACTLY,
KIND OF LIKE A FIRE HOSE
Phil says A FIRE HOSE, RIGHT!
WE TAKE A BIG
CONTAINER OF WATER,
AND I GUESS WE
WOULD NEED A PUMP.
Anthony says YEAH, LIKE A PUMP
WOULD BE PERFECT.
Phil says SO THEN WE SUCK THE
WATER OUT OF THE CONTAINER,
PUT IT THROUGH THE
PUMP TO PRESSURIZE IT,
SHOOT IT OUT OF A FIRE HOSE
Anthony says UH-HUH AND THEN
OUR CAR GOES FLYING
Phil says GOES FLYING
Anthony says OK, YEA LET'S DO IT!
Anthony says YEAH!
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
Now the logo appears under a magnifying glass with the caption "Mini Max!"
A voice says MINI MAX!
Phil says WHEN WATER IS GOING FAST,
IT HAS A LOT OF FORCE.
THIS IS A POWER WASHER,
IT'S MADE FOR CLEANING
CONCRETE AND WOODEN DECKS,
BUT IT DOESN'T USE SOAP,
AND IT DOESN'T USE HEAT.
IT ONLY USES THE POWER OF
WATER, LET'S TRY IT OUT.
(ENGINE REVVING)
He starts the machine on and as he cleans the pavement he writes his name.
Phil says THE POWER WASHER
CREATES A STREAM OF WATER
THAT'S MOVING REALLY FAST.
IT HAS THE FORCE TO CLEAN
CONCRETE, STRIP THE PAINT,
OR THE SCIENCE
MAX LOGO OFF WOOD,
BUT HOW DO I MAX OUT
THE POWER WASHER?
WHAT'S THE MOST ULTIMATE
USE I CAN THINK OF?
POWER WASHER PUMPKIN CARVING!
He shoots a pumpkin on a barrel with the pressured water and the pumpkin falls to the floor.
He tries a bigger pumpkin but the same thing happens.
He then tries an even bigger pumpkin and it also falls from the barrel.
He then puts the pumpkin on the floor and against the barrel and the water starts carving the pumpkin.
Phil says THE POWER OF
THE PRESSURE WASHER CREATES
A STREAM OF WATER STRONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE SHARP WORK
OF MY PUMPKIN.
POWER WASHERS MAY
ONLY SHOOT WATER,
BUT THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS,
SO DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
(ENGINE RUNNING)
HAHA
YEA SCIENCE!
A caption reads "The Wizard Academy."
Phil says THE WIZARD ACADEMY
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
DEMONSTRATE TRUE MAGIC
AND YOU WILL BE GRANTED ENTRY.
(ENCHANTED, PLAYFUL TUNE)
The wizard says SEND IN THE NEXT CANDIDATE
The assistant says OH NO, NOT OVERWHELMO!
Overwhelmo wears a magician suit. He hides behind the cirtains.
Overwhelmo says DID
SOMEONE SAY OVERWHELMO?
(JAZZY PIANO)
(MAN MUMBLING)
He clicks a remote trying to play a record but the remote doesn’t work.
Overwhelmo says BEHOLD IT IS I, OVERWHELMO!
He now clicks the remote and a recording of a cheering audience plays.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
(CLICK)
The wizard says WELCOME BACK OVERWHELMO.
IF YOU CAN TRULY
DEMONSTRATE MAGIC,
YOU CAN JOIN THE WIZARD ACADEMY.
Overwhelmo says A GLASS OF WATER!
NO WAIT THAT IS NOT THE
WHOLE TRICK, OK HOLD ON,
AND THIS - A WATERPROOF
PLAYING CARD.
I PUT THE CARD ON THE GLASS
AND FLIP IT UPSIDE DOWN,
AND THEN I SAY THE MAGIC
WORD (WHISPERS) AND BEHOLD!
MAGIC!
The card stays on the glass as he takes his hand away.
(DRAMATIC TRUMPETS PLAYING)
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
The wizard raises his hand.
Overwhelmo says YES?
The wizard says IS THAT IT?
Overwhelmo says YES?
The wizard says WELL, IT'S NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says IT IS THE DEFYING GRAVITY!
The wizard says NO.
Overwhelmo says THE WATER WOULD FALL AND THE
CARD WOULD FALL TO THE FLOOR
The wizard says IT'S NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says THIS IS MAGIC.
The wizard says NO, IT'S SCIENCE.
Overwhelmo says HORSEFEATHERS!
The wizard says LOOK, THE REASON THE
WATER DOESN'T COME OUT
IS THE AIR AT THE
TOP OF THE GLASS
KEEPS IT HELD IN BY SUCTION.
MORE AIR WOULD HAVE
TO GET INTO THIS GLASS
TO DECREASE THE SUCTION,
AND BECAUSE THE PLAYING CARD
IS KEEPING A SEAL ON THE GLASS,
THE SUCTION OF THE AIR
IS HOLDING THE WEIGHT
OF THE WATER UP.
Overwhelmo says BALDERDASH!
The wizard groans and says ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
LET'S DO A LITTLE
EXPERIMENT THEN SHALL WE?
LET'S MOVE THE PLAYING CARD
JUST A LITTLE BIT FROM
THE EDGE OF THE GLASS.
DO YOU SEE THOSE BUBBLES?
Overwhelmo says YES.
The wizard says THAT'S BAD NEWS.
The water falls off the glass.
Overwhelmo says UGH.
The wizard says SCIENCE, NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says WELL, I WILL RETURN,
AND THEN YOU WILL SEE YOUR
MIND WILL BE MELTED BY THE,
NO THAT'S NOT MY MUSIC,
HOLD ON (MUMBLES)
YOU WILL RUE THE
DAY WHEN (MUMBLES)
OVERWHELMO SHALL RETURN!
(HISSING, EXPLOSION)
He takes his music box and goes back behind the curtains.
The wizard shakes his head.
Back in the parking lot, Phil says OUR MAXED OUT
WATER CAR WORKED PRETTY WELL
NOW ITS TIME FOR SOMETHING
EVEN MORE MAXED OUT.
WE START WITH A
GIANT TANK ON WHEELS,
WE ADD A PUMP TO
PRESSURIZE THE WATER,
AND A FIRE HOSE TO
SHOOT IT OUT THE BACK.
WHAT'S MORE, THIS
VERSION IS BIG ENOUGH
FOR ME AND ANTHONY TO RIDE.
Phil says WATER CAR!
Anthony says WATER CAR, WHOO HOO!
Phil says AMAZING, THIS IS THE MORE
SUPER IMPROVED WATER CAR.
THIS TANK HOLDS 1,000 LITRES,
AND RIGHT NOW IT HAS
720 LITRES OF WATER.
Anthony says WE HAVE A PUMP!
A WATER PUMP!
THAT'S RIGHT A WATER
PUMP, SO THE IDEA IS
TAKE THE WATER FROM THIS
CONTAINER OUT THROUGH YOUR HOSE,
REALLY PRESSURIZE GOING
REALLY FAST THAT WAY,
OUR CAR GOES REALLY
FAST THIS WAY.
Phil says ALL WE GOTTA DO IS
JUST TURN ON THE PUMP,
AND WE'RE READY TO GO!
Phil says SO
WE FIRE UP THE PUMP
AND THE WATER STREAM
COMES OUT REALLY STRONG,
SO STRONG I CAN
BARELY HOLD ON TO IT,
Phil struggles with a winding hose.
Phil says BUT, EVEN SO,
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
(FAST-PACED ROCK MUSIC)
Anthony turns off the pump.
Phil says NOTHING HAPPENED.
Anthony says WELL SOMETHING HAPPENED, WE
GOT WET, BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY
Phil says IT'S TOO HEAVY.
Anthony says TOO HEAVY.
Phil says SO YOU'RE ON IT AND I'M ON IT,
THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT.
IF WE DON'T RIDE IT,
THAT'S SOMETHING.
Anthony says YEAH.
Phil says ALSO, THIS IS
KINDA GOING CRAZY.
Anthony says CAUSE THERE'S
NO REASON IN HOLDING IT
IF IT'S JUST GOING
TO FLAP AROUND.
Phil says SO WE'LL HAVE A BRACE
HERE, THAT'S GOOD.
Anthony says AND THEN WE'LL NEED,
I FEEL LIKE WE'LL NEED
SOMETHING TO KIND OF PROPEL IT.
MAYBE A BETTER
PROPULSION SYSTEM,
KINDA LIKE ONE OF
THOSE STEAMBOATS.
Phil says SO WE PUT A BIG
PADDLEWHEEL HERE
Anthony says EXACTLY.
Phil says AND I GUESS WE
AIM IT LIKE DOWN
Anthony says YEA EXACTLY
Phil says AND THEN THE PADDLEWHEEL,
THE PADDLEWHEEL SPINS,
AND THAT PROPELS THE CAR.
Anthony says EXACTLY, RIGHT?
Phil says RIGHT
Anthony says OK WELL, WE CAN
DO THAT, LET'S DO IT
Phil says LET'S DO IT
Anthony says SOUNDS GOOD, YEAH!
They high-five.
Phil says YOU KNOW WHAT, I
HAVE A PADDLEWHEEL
BECAUSE I HAD A
FAILED HYDROELECTRIC
Now Phil appears on a fly board in the lake.
(FAST-PACED ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says THIS IS CALLED FLY-BOARDING
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says WHOA (WATER SPLASHES)
He falls in the water.
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
He tries again and stays stable this time.
He says WHOA!
(LAUGHS)
POWERFUL JETS OF WATER
ARE BEING SHOT OUT
FROM THIS BOARD AT MY FEET
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says THE ENGINE ON
THE WATER CRAFT BEHIND ME
CREATES THE WATER PRESSURE,
WHICH TRAVELS UP THE HOSE,
AND THROUGH THE JETS.
THE FORCE OF THE
WATER IS STRONG ENOUGH
THAT I CAN USE IT TO FLY AROUND.
SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THIS AND OUR WATER CAR?
WELL...
WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE
THAT MUCH WATER WITH US,
BECAUSE IT STARTS IN THE LAKE
AND IT ENDS UP IN THE LAKE.
SO THE ONLY WATER I HAVE
TO CARRY IS IN THE HOSE
THAT GOES UP TO THE
PLATFORM. (LAUGHS)
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
Phil says FLY-BOARDING
IS LOTS OF FUN,
BUT IT TAKES SOME
PRACTICE TO GET IT RIGHT.
BALANCING ON JETS OF
WATER WASN'T EASY,
BUT I GOT THE HANG OF IT.
IT'S ALL DUE TO
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN
EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
PHYSICS, WHOO-HOO!
The logo of the show crushes the formula E equals MC square.
Phil says OUR MAXED OUT
WATER CAR DIDN'T WORK SO WELL.
THE MAIN REASON IS THAT
MUCH WATER IS HEAVY.
Phil says 720 KILOGRAMS
Anthony says YEAH.
Phil says SO ANTHONY AND I HAVE A PLAN.
RATHER THAN RELY ON
THE FORCE OF THE WATER
GOING STRAIGHT OUT THE HOSE,
WE ARE GOING TO
PUT A WATER WHEEL
ON THE BACK OF THE WATER CAR.
A WATER WHEEL WORKS
BY CATCHING WATER
IN THE SEGMENTS OF THE WHEEL.
THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER
ON ONE SIDE OF THE WHEEL
CAUSES IT TO START TURNING.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO USE
THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER
AND THE PRESSURE OF THE WATER.
HOPEFULLY, BOTH COMBINED
WILL BE ENOUGH FORCE
TO TURN THE WHEEL, WHICH WILL
DRIVE OUR WATER CAR FORWARD.
An animation shows the process on a white board.
Phil says A LITTLE CONSTRUCTION, AND
WE HAVE IT READY TO GO.
OK, SO HERE'S THE LATEST
VERSION OF THE WATER CAR,
WATER WHEEL!
Anthony says YEAH, ALL RIGHT!
Phil says WE TRIED IT
OUT, BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THE TRICK WITH THE WATER CAR
IS THE WATER ITSELF
WEIGHS A LOT.
EVERY LITRE IS ONE KILOGRAM,
SO OUR 720 LITRES WE START WITH
MAY BE WAY TOO HEAVY TO MOVE
THE CAR IN THE BEGINNING.
BUT AS THE WATER GETS PUMPED
OUT, THERE'S A SWEET SPOT
WHERE THE WEIGHT IS LOW ENOUGH
THE WATER CAR MIGHT MOVE.
BUT THEN THERE'S ONLY
A LITTLE WATER LEFT,
SO IT'S A BALANCING ACT.
WE FILL IT AGAIN AND SEE IF
WE CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN.
OK, NEW AND IMPROVED
VERSION, ONLY HALF FULL.
SO THE IDEA THIS TIME,
IS BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING
WITH IT ONLY HALF FULL, RIGHT?
Anthony says UH-HUH, YEAH.
Phil says THEN IT'LL BEGIN TO
GO A LITTLE EASIER,
BECAUSE IT WON'T
HAVE AS MUCH WEIGHT
AS IT DID THE LAST TIME
WE DID IT,
Anthony says AND-
PHIL, I CAN'T EVEN
MOVE THIS THING.
I THINK THERE'S
TOO MUCH FUEL...
YEAH, THERE'S NO
WAY WE CAN MOVE THIS,
THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS
GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
Phil says EVEN HALF FULL,
YOU CAN'T MOVE IT
Anthony says I THINK WE NEED LESS
FUEL, WE NEED TO GET IT DOWN
MAYBE TO LIKE A QUARTER.
Phil says THE THING IS WE RAN IT
FROM THE FULL TANK LAST TIME
AND IT NEVER MOVED AT ALL
Anthony says WHAT IF WE GAVE IT LIKE A
PUSH TO KIND OF HELP IT GET OVER
THAT LITTLE BUMP...
Phil says AH SO GIVE IT
THE FIRST PUSH
WHEN IT'S STILL GOT A
BUNCH OF WATER IN IT,
WE GIVE IT A BIT OF A PUSH,
AND THEN MAYBE
IT'LL GO ON ITS OWN?
Anthony says EXACTLY.
Phil says OK!
Anthony says YOU READY TO GO?
Phil says ABSOLUTELY,
LET'S DO IT, YEAH.
Phil says WE START THE PUMP
AND WAIT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER
TO GET JUST THE RIGHT SPOT.
THEN WE GIVE IT A PUSH WHILE
IT'S STILL KIND OF HEAVY
TO START IT MOVING...
AND SURE ENOUGH,
THAT PUSH MAKES
ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THE WATER CART IS
LIGHT ENOUGH TO ROLL,
IT HAS SOME MOMENTUM
TO KEEP IT GOING,
AND THE FORCE OF THE
WATER COMING OUT THE PUMP
IS ENOUGH TO KEEP
IT MOVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN.
(YELLING EXCITEDLY)
Anthony says MAN, THIS THING
WORKED LIKE A BEAUTY!
Phil says IT WORKED OUT, IT
WENT ALL THE WAY!
Phil says YEAH, WAY TO GO!
THE WATER CAR, FINALLY A
SUCCESS, IT WAS THE PUSH.
Anthony says IT WAS THE PUSH, THAT'S ALL
WE NEEDED TO GET IT GOING.
Phil says A LITTLE PUSH TO GET IT
GOING AND A LOT LESS WATER,
AND THERE YOU GO,
IT TOTALLY WORKS.
ALL RIGHT, YOU
WANT TO DO IT AGAIN?
Anthony says ABSOLUTELY!
Phil says ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON SCIENCE
MAX, EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE!
Anthony says SO MUCH EASIER
TO PUSH IT
WITHOUT ANY WATER INSIDE IT!
(RHYTHMIC, THUMPING BASS)
Now the end credits roll as gag reels from the show play.
Phil falls from the flyboard.
At the lab, Phil says LET IT GO, AND...
The car won’t start.
Phil trips on the cart.
Anthony says CAREFUL!
Phil says I CAN'T REALLY
SEE WITH MY GLASSES.
On the flyboard, Phil says BEHOLD, THE POWER OF PHYSICS!
(MUMBLING)
(MUMBLING)
(LAUGHS)
Buster tries to open a door and mumbles something.
On the flyboard, Phil says THIS IS CALLED...
(YELLS)
Buster says ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT.
He drops a piece of ice.
At the parking lot, Phil plays with the pressure washer.
Phil is in her twenties, clean-shaven and with short curly dark blond hair. He wears gray trousers, a blue T-shirt and a yellow lab coat.
Phil says HAVE YOU EVER
DONE A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
AND WONDERED IT WOULD BE
LIKE IF YOU DID IT BIG?
I HAVE.
MY NAME IS PHIL
AND I TAKE YOUR EVERYDAY
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
AND DO THEM BIG.
Phil appears under the water, in a skydiving chamber and on a trolley.
Phil says THIS IS SCIENCE MAX!
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
The logo of the show appears. It’s a black and yellow triangle with an exploding element inside and a blue sign across that reads "Experiments at Large."
Voices shout SCIENCE MAX!
Phil scraps the Science Max! logo off a shipping pallet with a pressure washer.
Phil says TODAY, I'M MAXING
OUT THE POWER OF WATER.
WATER IS VERY HEAVY!
PRESSURIZING WATER
TO MAKE A WATER-POWERED CAR,
WATER PRESSURE PUMPKIN CARVING,
WATER-FLYING, AND MORE!
Buster appears banging an ice bar against a chopping board.
(HEAVY BANGING)
Phil says ALL ON THIS EPISODE
OF SCIENCE MAX,
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
Phil drags a water barrel across the lab floor.
Phil says GREETINGS SCIENCE MAXIMITES!
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
WELCOME TO SCIENCE MAX,
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE.
MY NAME IS PHIL.
TODAY WE ARE GOING
TO BE LOOKING AT WATER.
(GRUNTS HEAVILY)
WATER IS VERY HEAVY,
BUT THAT'S OKAY!
BECAUSE WE NEED IT TO BE HEAVY
FOR THIS EXPERIMENT TO WORK.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED
THAT MUCH OF IT THOUGH,
MAYBE I COULD GET,
OH HERE WE GO.
He grabs a container and takes some water off the barrel.
He says YEAH, THAT'S
PROBABLY ALL I NEED.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE
BUILDING A WATER-POWERED CAR.
YOU'LL NEED
A BASE FOR YOUR CAR,
LIKE THIS STYROFOAM,
WATER BOTTLES, SHISH-KABOB
SKEWERS, STRAWS, SCISSORS,
ELASTICS, PAPER PLATES,
TAPE, A SQUARE PAPER TOWEL,
MODELING CLAY, VINEGAR,
BAKING SODA, WATER
AND GLUE OR A HOT GLUE GUN IF
YOU HAVE AN ADULT TO HELP YOU.
YEAH, I KNOW THIS ONE
IS PRETTY INVOLVED.
THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD
GO TO THE WEBSITE
FOR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS.
A caption reads "tvokids.com/sciencemax."
Phil says TAKE YOUR PAPER PLATES
AND GLUE TWO TOGETHER
TO MAKE A WHEEL.
THEN MAKE THREE MORE.
WRAP ELASTICS AROUND YOUR BASE
AND THEN TAPE STRAWS
ON THE BOTTOM.
TRIM THEM DOWN,
MAYBE ABOUT THAT MUCH.
THEN, TAKE
YOUR SHISH-KABOB SKEWER
AND PUSH IT THROUGH A WATER
BOTTLE CAP TO MAKE A HOLE.
THEN STICK ONE WHEEL ON,
PUT THE SKEWER
THROUGH THE STRAW, AND
Phil says DO THE SAME THING
ON THE OTHER THREE SIDES.
Phil says THEN TAKE
THE WATER BOTTLE CAP
AND GET AN ADULT TO HELP YOU
MAKE A PERFECT HOLE IN IT
THAT FIT THAT FITS YOUR STRAW.
THEN USE SOME MODELING
CLAY AND HOT GLUE
TO SEAL THE STRAW AND
THE CAP SO IT'S AIRTIGHT.
ATTACH THE WATER BOTTLE
TO THE BASE OF YOUR CAR,
THEN FILL IT WITH SOME
WATER AND VINEGAR.
NEXT, YOU'LL WANT TO WRAP
UP A SPOONFUL OF BAKING SODA
IN THE SQUARE PAPER TOWEL SO
YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE PACKAGE.
FINALLY, STICK
SOMETHING UNDERNEATH
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BOTTLE,
TO RAISE THE END
UP OFF THE BASE.
He uses a cork.
He says BRING YOUR CAP
AND THEN GO OUTSIDE.
AH HERE WE ARE OUTSIDE, YEAH I
KNOW WE'RE NOT REALLY OUTSIDE
BUT I HAVE A SCIENCE LAB,
AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T
SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
YOU DO THIS OUTSIDE.
AND DON'T
FORGET YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!
NOW THIS IS WHY WE MAKE A
LITTLE PACKET OF BAKING SODA,
BECAUSE WE WANT TO DELAY THIS
REACTION AS LONG AS WE CAN.
He puts the packet n the water mouth.
Phil says SO I LIKE TO HOLD IT THERE
WE'LL HOLD IT THERE
WITH ONE FINGER,
SO I CAN GET THE CAP READY,
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT
TO REACT UNTIL WE
CAN GET THE CAP ON
AND THEN KINK THE STRAW TO
KEEP THE PRESSURE INSIDE
UNTIL WE'RE READY TO LET IT GO.
THEN AT THE LAST SECOND, YOU
WANT TO DROP THAT PACKET IN
AND QUICKLY CAP IT,
AND KINK THE STRAW, AND
WHO-HOO, WHO-HOO-HOO-HOO!
The reaction propels the car across the lab.
He says HAHA, THERE YOU GO,
A WATER-POWERED CAR.
NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING, YOU'RE THINKING
PHIL, WAIT A MINUTE,
THAT'S A VINEGAR
AND BAKING SODA POWERED CAR.
WELL, KIND OF, THE
VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA
CREATE A GAS, AND THAT GAS
CREATE PRESSURE IN THE BOTTLE
AND THAT PRESSURE FORCES
THE WATER OUT OF THE BOTTLE.
BUT IT'S THE WATER
LEAVING THE BOTTLE
THAT CREATES THE THRUST.
THE WATER GOING THAT WAY
PUSHES THE CAR THAT WAY.
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL
AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS
MAX OUT THE WATER POWERED CAR.
FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
WATER GOING THAT WAY
SO WE CAN GO THAT WAY.
BUT WE MEANS ME AND SOMEONE
ELSE, WHO CAN HELP ME?
OH I KNOW!
ANTHONY, FROM THE
ONTARIO SCIENCE CENTER,
HE'D BE GREAT AT THIS.
HOPEFULLY HE'S NOT BUSY.
WE'RE GOING TO MAX OUT THE
WATER-POWERED CAR, HAH.
He puts on a yellow lab coat and goes through the portal.
(SUCTION IN SOUND, DOOR CLOSES)
He appears at the science centre.
Phil says ANTHONY!
He scares Anthony and he drops what he was carrying.
Anthony has short curly brown hair and wears gray trousers, a yellow T-shirt and a white lab coat.
Anthony says PHIL!
Phil says SORRY ABOUT THAT,
DID I SCARE YOU?
Anthony says UH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
Phil says HOW YOU DOING?
Anthony says AWESOME, THANKS
Phil says GREAT, I WAS WONDERING
IF I COULD GET YOUR
HELP ON AN EXPERIMENT?
Anthony says YEAH, OK, WHICH ONE?
Phil says I'M BUILDING A WATER-POWERED
CAR, IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.
IT'S AT SCIENCE MAX
HEADQUARTERS, I'LL SHOW YOU.
(SWOOSH)
They now appear at a parking lot.
Anthony says PHIL? PHIL?
Phil says ANTHONY! I'M HERE.
Anthony says PHIL, WHERE ARE WE?
Phil says OH, THIS IS THE PARKING LOT
FOR SCIENCE MAX HEADQUARTERS.
SO TODAY, WE WANT TO
MAX OUT THE WATER CAR!
Anthony says THIS IS AWESOME!
Phil says YEAH, SO WHAT
YOU DO IS YOU USE VINEGAR
AND BAKING SODA, YOU
PRESSURIZE THIS CONTAINER
Anthony says OK
Phil says AND WATER SHOOTS OUT THAT WAY,
SO THE CAR GOES THIS WAY.
Anthony says AH NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL
AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
Phil says YEAH, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF,
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE HERE,
BECAUSE I COULD REALLY
USE YOUR HELP AND ADVICE
ON HOW TO MAKE THIS BIGGER.
Anthony says OK, SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED
A BIGGER TANK TO PRESSURIZE,
WHAT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Phil puts the car on a barrel.
Phil says SO WE NEED SOMETHING
THAT CAN HOLD PRESSURE,
DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD WORK?
Anthony says I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D WANT TO
Phil says AND WE'D HAVE TO PUT
LIKE PRESSURE FITTINGS
ON THE BARREL, LIKE CUT
A HOLE AND WELD THEM ON,
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
Anthony says SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS
WOULDN'T WORK, SO WE NEED UM
Phil says OK SURE, I GOT SOME OTHER
STUFF OVER THERE MAYBE
THAT WE COULD USE
Anthony says UM, OH CHECK THIS OUT,
YEAH I THINK THIS WOULD WORK.
THIS WOULD WORK A LOT BETTER.
He points at an oil tank.
Phil says WELL THIS IS MY
STAND-UP WASH TUB BASE.
He pretends to play an instrument on the oil tank.
Anthony says YOUR WHAT?
Phil says SO WE'LL REUSE IT, YEAH?
Anthony says YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
THINKING NOW, THOUGH?
THE PROBLEM IS I THINK THIS
IS LIKE AN OIL DRUM, RIGHT?
Phil says IT IS, IT'S AN OIL
TANK FROM A HOUSE.
Anthony says AND THESE THINGS ARE
NOT BUILT FOR PRESSURE.
Phil says YOU CAN GET WATER TANKS
THAT YOU PRESSURIZE.
Anthony says OH LIKE WATER HEATERS,
YEAH YOU CAN PRESSURIZE,
THEY'RE BUILT FOR THAT STUFF,
YOU PRESSURIZE THEM
IN YOUR BASEMENT
AND THEN THE WATER
TRAVELS UP TO YOUR SHOWER
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Phil says THAT MAKES, SO
ALL WE NEED TO DO
IS GET A PRESSURIZED WATER TANK
Anthony says OK
Phil says PUT WATER IN IT,
PUT PRESSURE IN IT,
AND PUT IT ON WHEELS!
Anthony says AH HAHA!
Phil says AND THEN WE OPEN THE
VALVE AND IT GOES, RIGHT?
Anthony says THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!
Phil says ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET TO IT MAN.
OK I GOT SOME WATER
TANKS OVER HERE
IN THIS CORNER OF
THE PARKING LOT.
Anthony says SERIOUSLY?
A slate appears with the caption "Please Stand By."
Buster has short curly dark blond hair and wears a striped shirt and a red apron.
He says BEING A CHEF
IS MY ABSOLUTE PASSION,
AND COOKING UP SCIENCE
RECIPES IS MY SPECIALITY.
I'M BUSTA BEAKA, AND THIS
IS COOKING WITH SCIENCE.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
An oval logo with a flask appears with the caption "Cooking with Science."
Buster says OH, HELLO, WHEN YOU'RE A
PROFESSIONAL CHEF LIKE ME
YOU SPEND LOTS OF TIME
PERFECTING THE PERFECT RECIPES.
I KNOW MY WAY AROUND A KITCHEN,
AND TODAY I'D LIKE
TO SHOW YOU ONE,
He opens the oven and says THAT'S NOT THE FRIDGE!
OH, HAHA, TODAY I'D LIKE TO
SHOW YOU ONE OF MY FAVOURITES.
QUAIL TRUFFLE GAZPACHO
CAKES ON A PLATE OF ICE.
He takes the dish out of the freezer and the audience goes OOHH.
Buster says BEAUTIFUL, AND
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT.
TAKE SOME QUAILS AND
TRUFFLES AND SOME GAZPACHO
AND PUT IT INTO A CAKE.
DELICIOUS.
AND HERE'S THE INTERESTING
PART, HOW TO MAKE
THE PLATE OF ICE.
(AUDIENCE OOHS)
HOW DID I DO IT?
WELL I TRIED MANY
DIFFERENT METHODS
AND NONE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
(BANGING)
He appears trying to cut an ice bar with several utensils.
Buster says HAHA, BUT NOW I LET
SCIENCE DO THE WORK FOR ME.
SO HERE'S WHAT I DO,
YOU SEE I'VE GOT MY
LARGE BLOCK OF ICE,
AND I'VE GOT A FISHING
LINE OVER THE TOP,
AND ON THE BOTTOM I'VE
GOT TWO HEAVY WEIGHTS.
NOW WE WAIT.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
THE HEAVY WEIGHTS
PUT PRESSURE ON
THE FISHING LINE.
THIS PRESSURE MELTS THE ICE
WHERE IT'S PRESSING DOWN.
AS THE ICES MELTS,
THE FISHING LINE MOVES
THROUGH THE BLOCK OF ICE
AND EVENTUALLY CUTS
ITS WAY THROUGH.
THERE WE ARE, MY HOURS OF
WAITING HAVE ALMOST PAID OFF.
YOU SEE, I'VE GOT A PERFECT
LINE THROUGH THE ICE
(AUDIENCE OOHS, CLAPPING)
AND I STOPPED IT JUST
BEFORE IT FINISHED.
IT'S THE PRESSURE OF THE LINE
ON THE ICE THAT MAKES IT WORK.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS
WHEN YOU USE ICE SKATES.
YOU SEE IT'S A VERY THIN LINE,
AND YOUR BODY
WEIGHT PRESSES DOWN
ON THE ICE, MELTS IT A BIT,
AND ALLOWS YOU TO
GLIDE ACROSS THE ICE.
IT ALSO ALLOWS ME TO POP
THIS OFF, THERE YOU ARE.
YOU SEE, PERFECT PLATE OF
ICE TO PUT MY DELICACY ON.
LET'S JUST TRY THAT NOW.
THERE WE—
He drops the ice plate.
(CLANK)
He says UM...
(GLASS BREAKING)
A slate appears with the caption "Please Stand By."
The logo of the show appears crushing the screen.
Phil says SO
I'VE JOINED ANTHONY,
AND WE'RE GOING TO MAX
OUT OUR WATER-POWERED CAR.
OUR SMALL DESIGN
WORKS BY CREATING GAS,
WHICH CREATES PRESSURE,
WHICH FORCES THE WATER
OUT OF THE BOTTLE,
CREATING THRUST.
OUR NEW PLAN IS TO
GET A WATER TANK,
PUT IT ON WHEELS
AND PUT WATER IN IT,
AND THEN WE USE
AN AIR COMPRESSOR
TO PRESSURIZE THE AIR INSIDE.
WHEN WE OPEN THE VALVE, THE
WATER IS FORCED OUT THIS WAY,
WHICH CAUSES OUR WATER
CAR TO GO THAT WAY.
An animation shows the process on a white board.
In the parking lot, Phil says HAHA, SO WATER CAR,
MAXED OUT VERSION
Anthony says UH-HUH
HUGE
Phil says WATER TANK
Anthony says AND
FILLED WITH LOTS OF WATER
AND LOTS OF AIR
(AIR HISSES)
He takes the compressor hose out of the tank and directs the hose to Phil’s hair.
Anthony says WHOA THAT'S A LOT OF IT,
Phil says DID IT MESS UP MY HAIR?
Anthony says UH, NO YOU LOOK
FINE, YOU LOOK GREAT.
Phil says OK, GOOD.
Anthony says NOW THE ONLY THING LEFT IS
WE JUST GOTTA OPEN
THIS VALVE HERE,
DO YOU WANNA DO THE HONOURS?
Phil says UH YEAH, LET'S DO IT, OK!
Anthony says OK, HERE WE GO.
They say THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!
(AIR HISSES)
Phil says WE
OPENED THE VALVE
AND OUR PRESSURIZED
TANK MOVES FORWARD.
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE
TANK FORCES THE WATER OUT
WITH ENOUGH FORCE
TO MOVE THE TANK.
(MAN YELLING EXCITEDLY)
Anthony says THAT WAS AWESOME!
Phil says THAT WAS A GREAT RUN, YEAH!
Anthony says THAT WAS AMAZING!
Phil says SO PRESSURIZED WATER TANK
ON WHEELS, TOTALLY WORKS
Anthony says TOTAL SUCCESS
Phil says SO, BECAUSE THIS
IS SCIENCE MAX,
THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO NOW
IS MAKE IT BIGGER, RIGHT?
Anthony says BIGGER, EXACTLY, YEA!
OK SO PROBLEM IS I DON'T THINK
WE'RE GOING TO FIND A TANK
BIGGER THAN THIS ONE, SO
Phil says CAUSE THEN IT WOULD
BE TOO HEAVY, RIGHT?
Anthony says EXACTLY, MAYBE WHAT WE CAN
DO IS GET A LOT MORE WATER
Phil says OK
Anthony says AND THEN WE FIND A WAY
TO PRESSURIZE THE WATER.
Phil says OH, SO DON'T PRESSURIZE
THE WHOLE TANK,
JUST THE STREAM OF WATER
THAT'S GOING OUT OF THE TANK
Anthony says AS IT COMES OUT, EXACTLY,
KIND OF LIKE A FIRE HOSE
Phil says A FIRE HOSE, RIGHT!
WE TAKE A BIG
CONTAINER OF WATER,
AND I GUESS WE
WOULD NEED A PUMP.
Anthony says YEAH, LIKE A PUMP
WOULD BE PERFECT.
Phil says SO THEN WE SUCK THE
WATER OUT OF THE CONTAINER,
PUT IT THROUGH THE
PUMP TO PRESSURIZE IT,
SHOOT IT OUT OF A FIRE HOSE
Anthony says UH-HUH AND THEN
OUR CAR GOES FLYING
Phil says GOES FLYING
Anthony says OK, YEA LET'S DO IT!
Anthony says YEAH!
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
Now the logo appears under a magnifying glass with the caption "Mini Max!"
A voice says MINI MAX!
Phil says WHEN WATER IS GOING FAST,
IT HAS A LOT OF FORCE.
THIS IS A POWER WASHER,
IT'S MADE FOR CLEANING
CONCRETE AND WOODEN DECKS,
BUT IT DOESN'T USE SOAP,
AND IT DOESN'T USE HEAT.
IT ONLY USES THE POWER OF
WATER, LET'S TRY IT OUT.
(ENGINE REVVING)
He starts the machine on and as he cleans the pavement he writes his name.
Phil says THE POWER WASHER
CREATES A STREAM OF WATER
THAT'S MOVING REALLY FAST.
IT HAS THE FORCE TO CLEAN
CONCRETE, STRIP THE PAINT,
OR THE SCIENCE
MAX LOGO OFF WOOD,
BUT HOW DO I MAX OUT
THE POWER WASHER?
WHAT'S THE MOST ULTIMATE
USE I CAN THINK OF?
POWER WASHER PUMPKIN CARVING!
He shoots a pumpkin on a barrel with the pressured water and the pumpkin falls to the floor.
He tries a bigger pumpkin but the same thing happens.
He then tries an even bigger pumpkin and it also falls from the barrel.
He then puts the pumpkin on the floor and against the barrel and the water starts carving the pumpkin.
Phil says THE POWER OF
THE PRESSURE WASHER CREATES
A STREAM OF WATER STRONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE SHARP WORK
OF MY PUMPKIN.
POWER WASHERS MAY
ONLY SHOOT WATER,
BUT THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS,
SO DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
(ENGINE RUNNING)
HAHA
YEA SCIENCE!
A caption reads "The Wizard Academy."
Phil says THE WIZARD ACADEMY
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
DEMONSTRATE TRUE MAGIC
AND YOU WILL BE GRANTED ENTRY.
(ENCHANTED, PLAYFUL TUNE)
The wizard says SEND IN THE NEXT CANDIDATE
The assistant says OH NO, NOT OVERWHELMO!
Overwhelmo wears a magician suit. He hides behind the cirtains.
Overwhelmo says DID
SOMEONE SAY OVERWHELMO?
(JAZZY PIANO)
(MAN MUMBLING)
He clicks a remote trying to play a record but the remote doesn’t work.
Overwhelmo says BEHOLD IT IS I, OVERWHELMO!
He now clicks the remote and a recording of a cheering audience plays.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
(CLICK)
The wizard says WELCOME BACK OVERWHELMO.
IF YOU CAN TRULY
DEMONSTRATE MAGIC,
YOU CAN JOIN THE WIZARD ACADEMY.
Overwhelmo says A GLASS OF WATER!
NO WAIT THAT IS NOT THE
WHOLE TRICK, OK HOLD ON,
AND THIS - A WATERPROOF
PLAYING CARD.
I PUT THE CARD ON THE GLASS
AND FLIP IT UPSIDE DOWN,
AND THEN I SAY THE MAGIC
WORD (WHISPERS) AND BEHOLD!
MAGIC!
The card stays on the glass as he takes his hand away.
(DRAMATIC TRUMPETS PLAYING)
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
The wizard raises his hand.
Overwhelmo says YES?
The wizard says IS THAT IT?
Overwhelmo says YES?
The wizard says WELL, IT'S NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says IT IS THE DEFYING GRAVITY!
The wizard says NO.
Overwhelmo says THE WATER WOULD FALL AND THE
CARD WOULD FALL TO THE FLOOR
The wizard says IT'S NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says THIS IS MAGIC.
The wizard says NO, IT'S SCIENCE.
Overwhelmo says HORSEFEATHERS!
The wizard says LOOK, THE REASON THE
WATER DOESN'T COME OUT
IS THE AIR AT THE
TOP OF THE GLASS
KEEPS IT HELD IN BY SUCTION.
MORE AIR WOULD HAVE
TO GET INTO THIS GLASS
TO DECREASE THE SUCTION,
AND BECAUSE THE PLAYING CARD
IS KEEPING A SEAL ON THE GLASS,
THE SUCTION OF THE AIR
IS HOLDING THE WEIGHT
OF THE WATER UP.
Overwhelmo says BALDERDASH!
The wizard groans and says ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
LET'S DO A LITTLE
EXPERIMENT THEN SHALL WE?
LET'S MOVE THE PLAYING CARD
JUST A LITTLE BIT FROM
THE EDGE OF THE GLASS.
DO YOU SEE THOSE BUBBLES?
Overwhelmo says YES.
The wizard says THAT'S BAD NEWS.
The water falls off the glass.
Overwhelmo says UGH.
The wizard says SCIENCE, NOT MAGIC.
Overwhelmo says WELL, I WILL RETURN,
AND THEN YOU WILL SEE YOUR
MIND WILL BE MELTED BY THE,
NO THAT'S NOT MY MUSIC,
HOLD ON (MUMBLES)
YOU WILL RUE THE
DAY WHEN (MUMBLES)
OVERWHELMO SHALL RETURN!
(HISSING, EXPLOSION)
He takes his music box and goes back behind the curtains.
The wizard shakes his head.
Back in the parking lot, Phil says OUR MAXED OUT
WATER CAR WORKED PRETTY WELL
NOW ITS TIME FOR SOMETHING
EVEN MORE MAXED OUT.
WE START WITH A
GIANT TANK ON WHEELS,
WE ADD A PUMP TO
PRESSURIZE THE WATER,
AND A FIRE HOSE TO
SHOOT IT OUT THE BACK.
WHAT'S MORE, THIS
VERSION IS BIG ENOUGH
FOR ME AND ANTHONY TO RIDE.
Phil says WATER CAR!
Anthony says WATER CAR, WHOO HOO!
Phil says AMAZING, THIS IS THE MORE
SUPER IMPROVED WATER CAR.
THIS TANK HOLDS 1,000 LITRES,
AND RIGHT NOW IT HAS
720 LITRES OF WATER.
Anthony says WE HAVE A PUMP!
A WATER PUMP!
THAT'S RIGHT A WATER
PUMP, SO THE IDEA IS
TAKE THE WATER FROM THIS
CONTAINER OUT THROUGH YOUR HOSE,
REALLY PRESSURIZE GOING
REALLY FAST THAT WAY,
OUR CAR GOES REALLY
FAST THIS WAY.
Phil says ALL WE GOTTA DO IS
JUST TURN ON THE PUMP,
AND WE'RE READY TO GO!
Phil says SO
WE FIRE UP THE PUMP
AND THE WATER STREAM
COMES OUT REALLY STRONG,
SO STRONG I CAN
BARELY HOLD ON TO IT,
Phil struggles with a winding hose.
Phil says BUT, EVEN SO,
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
(FAST-PACED ROCK MUSIC)
Anthony turns off the pump.
Phil says NOTHING HAPPENED.
Anthony says WELL SOMETHING HAPPENED, WE
GOT WET, BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY
Phil says IT'S TOO HEAVY.
Anthony says TOO HEAVY.
Phil says SO YOU'RE ON IT AND I'M ON IT,
THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT.
IF WE DON'T RIDE IT,
THAT'S SOMETHING.
Anthony says YEAH.
Phil says ALSO, THIS IS
KINDA GOING CRAZY.
Anthony says CAUSE THERE'S
NO REASON IN HOLDING IT
IF IT'S JUST GOING
TO FLAP AROUND.
Phil says SO WE'LL HAVE A BRACE
HERE, THAT'S GOOD.
Anthony says AND THEN WE'LL NEED,
I FEEL LIKE WE'LL NEED
SOMETHING TO KIND OF PROPEL IT.
MAYBE A BETTER
PROPULSION SYSTEM,
KINDA LIKE ONE OF
THOSE STEAMBOATS.
Phil says SO WE PUT A BIG
PADDLEWHEEL HERE
Anthony says EXACTLY.
Phil says AND I GUESS WE
AIM IT LIKE DOWN
Anthony says YEA EXACTLY
Phil says AND THEN THE PADDLEWHEEL,
THE PADDLEWHEEL SPINS,
AND THAT PROPELS THE CAR.
Anthony says EXACTLY, RIGHT?
Phil says RIGHT
Anthony says OK WELL, WE CAN
DO THAT, LET'S DO IT
Phil says LET'S DO IT
Anthony says SOUNDS GOOD, YEAH!
They high-five.
Phil says YOU KNOW WHAT, I
HAVE A PADDLEWHEEL
BECAUSE I HAD A
FAILED HYDROELECTRIC
Now Phil appears on a fly board in the lake.
(FAST-PACED ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says THIS IS CALLED FLY-BOARDING
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says WHOA (WATER SPLASHES)
He falls in the water.
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
He tries again and stays stable this time.
He says WHOA!
(LAUGHS)
POWERFUL JETS OF WATER
ARE BEING SHOT OUT
FROM THIS BOARD AT MY FEET
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
Phil says THE ENGINE ON
THE WATER CRAFT BEHIND ME
CREATES THE WATER PRESSURE,
WHICH TRAVELS UP THE HOSE,
AND THROUGH THE JETS.
THE FORCE OF THE
WATER IS STRONG ENOUGH
THAT I CAN USE IT TO FLY AROUND.
SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THIS AND OUR WATER CAR?
WELL...
WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE
THAT MUCH WATER WITH US,
BECAUSE IT STARTS IN THE LAKE
AND IT ENDS UP IN THE LAKE.
SO THE ONLY WATER I HAVE
TO CARRY IS IN THE HOSE
THAT GOES UP TO THE
PLATFORM. (LAUGHS)
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
Phil says FLY-BOARDING
IS LOTS OF FUN,
BUT IT TAKES SOME
PRACTICE TO GET IT RIGHT.
BALANCING ON JETS OF
WATER WASN'T EASY,
BUT I GOT THE HANG OF IT.
IT'S ALL DUE TO
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW,
FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN
EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
(FAST PACED,
RHYTHMIC ROCK MUSIC)
PHYSICS, WHOO-HOO!
The logo of the show crushes the formula E equals MC square.
Phil says OUR MAXED OUT
WATER CAR DIDN'T WORK SO WELL.
THE MAIN REASON IS THAT
MUCH WATER IS HEAVY.
Phil says 720 KILOGRAMS
Anthony says YEAH.
Phil says SO ANTHONY AND I HAVE A PLAN.
RATHER THAN RELY ON
THE FORCE OF THE WATER
GOING STRAIGHT OUT THE HOSE,
WE ARE GOING TO
PUT A WATER WHEEL
ON THE BACK OF THE WATER CAR.
A WATER WHEEL WORKS
BY CATCHING WATER
IN THE SEGMENTS OF THE WHEEL.
THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER
ON ONE SIDE OF THE WHEEL
CAUSES IT TO START TURNING.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO USE
THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER
AND THE PRESSURE OF THE WATER.
HOPEFULLY, BOTH COMBINED
WILL BE ENOUGH FORCE
TO TURN THE WHEEL, WHICH WILL
DRIVE OUR WATER CAR FORWARD.
An animation shows the process on a white board.
Phil says A LITTLE CONSTRUCTION, AND
WE HAVE IT READY TO GO.
OK, SO HERE'S THE LATEST
VERSION OF THE WATER CAR,
WATER WHEEL!
Anthony says YEAH, ALL RIGHT!
Phil says WE TRIED IT
OUT, BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THE TRICK WITH THE WATER CAR
IS THE WATER ITSELF
WEIGHS A LOT.
EVERY LITRE IS ONE KILOGRAM,
SO OUR 720 LITRES WE START WITH
MAY BE WAY TOO HEAVY TO MOVE
THE CAR IN THE BEGINNING.
BUT AS THE WATER GETS PUMPED
OUT, THERE'S A SWEET SPOT
WHERE THE WEIGHT IS LOW ENOUGH
THE WATER CAR MIGHT MOVE.
BUT THEN THERE'S ONLY
A LITTLE WATER LEFT,
SO IT'S A BALANCING ACT.
WE FILL IT AGAIN AND SEE IF
WE CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN.
OK, NEW AND IMPROVED
VERSION, ONLY HALF FULL.
SO THE IDEA THIS TIME,
IS BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING
WITH IT ONLY HALF FULL, RIGHT?
Anthony says UH-HUH, YEAH.
Phil says THEN IT'LL BEGIN TO
GO A LITTLE EASIER,
BECAUSE IT WON'T
HAVE AS MUCH WEIGHT
AS IT DID THE LAST TIME
WE DID IT,
Anthony says AND-
PHIL, I CAN'T EVEN
MOVE THIS THING.
I THINK THERE'S
TOO MUCH FUEL...
YEAH, THERE'S NO
WAY WE CAN MOVE THIS,
THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS
GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
Phil says EVEN HALF FULL,
YOU CAN'T MOVE IT
Anthony says I THINK WE NEED LESS
FUEL, WE NEED TO GET IT DOWN
MAYBE TO LIKE A QUARTER.
Phil says THE THING IS WE RAN IT
FROM THE FULL TANK LAST TIME
AND IT NEVER MOVED AT ALL
Anthony says WHAT IF WE GAVE IT LIKE A
PUSH TO KIND OF HELP IT GET OVER
THAT LITTLE BUMP...
Phil says AH SO GIVE IT
THE FIRST PUSH
WHEN IT'S STILL GOT A
BUNCH OF WATER IN IT,
WE GIVE IT A BIT OF A PUSH,
AND THEN MAYBE
IT'LL GO ON ITS OWN?
Anthony says EXACTLY.
Phil says OK!
Anthony says YOU READY TO GO?
Phil says ABSOLUTELY,
LET'S DO IT, YEAH.
Phil says WE START THE PUMP
AND WAIT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER
TO GET JUST THE RIGHT SPOT.
THEN WE GIVE IT A PUSH WHILE
IT'S STILL KIND OF HEAVY
TO START IT MOVING...
AND SURE ENOUGH,
THAT PUSH MAKES
ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THE WATER CART IS
LIGHT ENOUGH TO ROLL,
IT HAS SOME MOMENTUM
TO KEEP IT GOING,
AND THE FORCE OF THE
WATER COMING OUT THE PUMP
IS ENOUGH TO KEEP
IT MOVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN.
(YELLING EXCITEDLY)
Anthony says MAN, THIS THING
WORKED LIKE A BEAUTY!
Phil says IT WORKED OUT, IT
WENT ALL THE WAY!
Phil says YEAH, WAY TO GO!
THE WATER CAR, FINALLY A
SUCCESS, IT WAS THE PUSH.
Anthony says IT WAS THE PUSH, THAT'S ALL
WE NEEDED TO GET IT GOING.
Phil says A LITTLE PUSH TO GET IT
GOING AND A LOT LESS WATER,
AND THERE YOU GO,
IT TOTALLY WORKS.
ALL RIGHT, YOU
WANT TO DO IT AGAIN?
Anthony says ABSOLUTELY!
Phil says ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON SCIENCE
MAX, EXPERIMENTS AT LARGE!
Anthony says SO MUCH EASIER
TO PUSH IT
WITHOUT ANY WATER INSIDE IT!
(RHYTHMIC, THUMPING BASS)
Now the end credits roll as gag reels from the show play.
Phil falls from the flyboard.
At the lab, Phil says LET IT GO, AND...
The car won’t start.
Phil trips on the cart.
Anthony says CAREFUL!
Phil says I CAN'T REALLY
SEE WITH MY GLASSES.
On the flyboard, Phil says BEHOLD, THE POWER OF PHYSICS!
(MUMBLING)
(MUMBLING)
(LAUGHS)
Buster tries to open a door and mumbles something.
On the flyboard, Phil says THIS IS CALLED...
(YELLS)
Buster says ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT.
He drops a piece of ice.
At the parking lot, Phil plays with the pressure washer.
