Balloon powered car! | Live Experiments (Ep 24) | Head Squeeze

[@ecorico22]

i like the headsqueeze episodes where i actually learn something worth teaching others

[@tommyxboy101]

Some ideas for live experiments. Make a clock Make a radio Make a compass Basic chemical reactions from household substances

[@SamnissArandeen]

Would I get better results by lubricating the axles with, say, motor oil or petroleum jelly?

[@scientistnikolas]

Congruts to the Camera man !! Very stable hand

[@rroge5]

i think you may have just invented a new alternative power source for todays modern vehicles :P Definetly need to get a massive baloon onto my car to get around town

[@ecorico22]

for those of you wondering james may is also working on another channel called uninsulated crimp or you can search james may's man lab as well! give it a thumbs up and let everyone know!

[@Jeep198503]

Thank you. I have wondered about that ? For years and nobody could tell me. Now, two people have and well done. Don't worry someone will say the ballon would pop because of the vacuum however not the point.

[@TheKaneDestroyer]

Well done. You've just helped mice on how they can sneak into a man's house for cheese without landing on any mouse traps.

[@teundilles]

Yes, for the same reason rockets do work in space. The force reacts on the exhaust gasses, not just on the surrounding air. Since there is no air resistance, this setup would even work better in a vacuum.

[@funnynerdyme]

it would even work better as there is less air to slow the car down due to the air friction. there may be less pressure to let drain the baloon but in a vacuum the air would escape more easily from the nozzle because there is nothing to slow it down. thats what i think

[@sanchitgangwar]

Would like to see more experiments like DNA extraction from strawberries - things that are not so obvious and fun to do as well.

[@ChanSquach]

Explain why the car would move farther immediately after filling as opposed to after letting the elasticity of the balloon cool.

[@Jeep198503]

Would that work in a vacuum?

[@0youwannagethigh0]

I dont wanna hate, but step up your experiments boys ! :p

[@scottycatman]

Another way to power it with potential energy: Put it at the top of a ramp.

[@vishnudude]

i like you watch, where can i buy that ? :)

[@marces999]

wat u could also do was to add abt a thumb size modeling clay or any thing similar to that.den stick it at the ends of the skewer,taking note not to push in too tight until the wheels are not able to turn.tis way the wheels will not be able to come out

[@tailsawsome17]

can you do this with a toy model car?

[@ChristianRB89]

A car. Oh, a MODEL car!

[@beachsandinspector]

Please invest in a tripod, some of the shaking was a little (read lot) distracting from the content of the video. Thanks.

[@aproposofthewetsnow]

Hey HeadSquez! I have a type of a priori question. If you were being dragged down to the bottom of the ocean, doomed to die, what would most likely happen first? Would you first drown or succumb to the pressure? Eliminating the following extraneous variables: You have the average height, weight, & lung capacity for a male & a100lbs pulling you down. I just sent this toa few other science channels & I hope to not fall victim to the Bystander Effect. I hope someone will answer my question.

[@SimpleCarGuy]

i got dizzy watching this video

[@gromann]

As an American, just having a little bit of text for conversion on the vid would be plenty.

[@mattlm64]

Big explosions.

[@SwedePlaysGames]

A tripod isn't too expensive... you can make one yourself if you don't want to pay for a retail one.

[@TheAlexjustalex]

you better ask mike from Vsauce and i think he already answered this question

[@20thCstudio]

I can convert and work in both systems. I merely asked if, seeing as though they have a global audience could they have both systems measurements. If a TV show was being designed for both a US and Australian release they would have both, would they not? So why should a show with a global audience not have? + HeadsqueezeTV don't think is such a bad idea they replied and said they would take a note of it.

[@mikej5337]

lol i made one of these when i was 10 years old, but using a tissue box as a chassis. i dont know why you would even upload this.

[@HiGHFLY3RA]

James May isn't there but he was replaced by a muscular Richard Hammond...

[@Nagromicous]

Whats HeadSqueeze's Twitter please

[@20thCstudio]

next time could you put the measurements in metric as well as imperial. You have a would wide audience and not every one uses feet and inches.

[@LamboSavage]

How drunk was the camera man? Mr. Shakey.

[@citruskushxD]

We did this in like 5th grade

[@husnainanwaar1992]

i subscribed to watch may

[@vex3xd]

ummm can i buy some pot from you?

[@nickrich56]

Rob could have saved a lot of time by not building a piece of junk and spending a few cents on a kids toy that looks like a car. Balloon powered transport would take your breathe away, kinda like diamonds

[@Holicz12345]

Remind me of bad piggies

[@FatWanker18]

i now have a cocktail stick in my retina and one in my pupil... NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN...

[@rooislangwtf]

AIRTIGHT!

[@LEWIAYY97]

GET A TRIPOD PLEASE I FEEL SEA SICK!!!!!

[@amidamaru0086]

The conversion factors are all known you know. It's not like it's some big mystery. Be less entitled. The onus is on you to do the math if the customary units aren't to your liking; you could learn something in the process.

[@trippyhippy12]

I could suggest several things to try but what is your situation budget per episode, license to use chemicals gases etc, ability to arrange not to be hauled off by terrorist police if you do a controlled explosion? I'd suggest 2:1 oxygen/acetylene barrel rocket ;) or affects of sulfuric acid on stuff eg meat sugar alkaline or something that makes you think holy sh#t this thing does that

[@Khanhie2907]

Me too husnain anwaar, me too

[@Qam001]

Lol u should just tie the baloon to a toy car. As the whole point was to demonstrate potential energy and not how to build a car. Lol

[@googleboughtmee]

I don't think this car is very good. You wouldn't even be able to use it for shopping.

[@ColoredIceberg]

Those poor highlights!

[@GamingTurkey]

get a stand

[@mtktm]

the shakey cam is nauseating..... STOP IT

[@Nagromicous]

Answer Me Or Else Pleeeeeeeease

[@akshatrajan]

Damn. Second.

[@redmenacetv]

Please less camera shake! your not matt damon

[@eldogburger]

Tenth

[@williamwayland3762]

First

[@numbnoone]

Boo!
