Tim shows off the science behind chain reactions using table-tennis balls, dominoes and Slinky toys. Also: an ostrich-egg experiment; a rotational-power example; an unlikely race.
Tim heats champagne in a microwave in order to create a high-pressure scenario. Later, predictions are made for an experiment involving a spinning weight.
Tim conducts experiments on thermite to determine if there's anything that can stand up to its intense heat. Also: a bar trick; a toilet-paper rope; a DIY rocket.
Tim attempts to pop a balloon behind a pane of glass while keeping the glass intact. Also: a wine-bottle experiment; a watermelon electrocution; a test of the strength of human hair.
Tim attempts to swipe a tablecloth from a banquet table without disturbing the place settings. Also: an ice cream experiment; a marshmallow in a vacuum chamber.
Tim performs experiments that center around electricity. Included: a pig bbq'd on a Tesla coil; a trick involving a martini glass; a pickle that carries a current.
Examining the effects of extreme temperatures. Included: cooking food with a lens used in lighthouses; how bass travels through a stereo system; torching an ice block with a flamethrower; dipping a balloon into liquid nitrogen.
An experiment combining raw meat and molten lead is examined. Also: torching teddy bears; testing the power of assault rifles; guessing which items can withstand laser rays.
