AND THIS MORNING WE\u2019RE GOING TO DO SOME EXPLORING OF WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX FUEL, HEAT, OXYGEN AND A CAN OF PRINGLES. I\u2019M INTRIGUED. MARK WESH 2\u2019S MARQUISE MEDA BRINGS US THE EXPLOSIVE RESULT IN THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE OF THE SCIENCE OF IT. HEY GUYS, AND WELCOME BACK TO THE ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER. I\u2019M JOINED BY ZACH ONCE AGAIN AND ALL THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. OF COURSE, WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING ASTRONOMY MONTH HERE AT OSTC, BUT EARLIER IN THE MONTH WE WERE ACTUALLY SHOOTING BOTTLE ROCKETS MADE OUT OF ALKA-SELTZER AND A LITTLE BIT OF WATER. WE SAW A PRETTY COOL CHEMICAL REACTION. DO YOU THINK WE COULD TOP THAT TODAY? OH YEAH. I THINK WE\u2019RE DEFINITELY GOING TO GET A BIGGER BOOM HERE WITH SOME MORE DANGEROUS CHEMICALS. SO THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE THAT YOU WON\u2019T BE TRYING AT HOME. BUT THAT\u2019S OKAY BECAUSE YOU DON\u2019T HAVE ACCESS TO THE CHEMICALS I HAVE ACCESS TO. TODAY WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE USING SOME HYDROGEN GAS INSIDE OF OUR PRINGLE CAN WITH OUR COOL SCIENTIFIC APPARATUS. WE\u2019RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND FUEL UP OUR ROCKET, LIGHT IT ABLAZE IN JUST LIKE THE NASA ASTRONAUTS. WE\u2019RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE OFF INTO OUTER SPACE WITH OUR PRINGLE CAN. SO WE\u2019LL GO AHEAD AND RELEASE OUR VALVE AND START LETTING THAT HYDROGEN GAS FLOW INSIDE OF OUR CANISTER. IT\u2019S GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SLOWLY FUEL ON UP RIGHT HERE. PERFECT. SO JUST FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME, YOU WANT TO TELL US WHAT WE\u2019RE DOING RIGHT NOW? YEAH. SO THIS IS THAT FUELING PHASE. I JUST GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCED A BUNCH OF HYDROGEN GAS INTO OUR PRINGLE CAN RIGHT THERE THROUGH OUR BOTTOM HOLE, OUR TOP HOLES. WE\u2019RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LIGHT IT UP. SO I\u2019M GOING TO ASK YOU TO STEP BACK REAL QUICK. WE\u2019RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LIGHT OUR PRINGLE CAN IN THREE TWO ONE. I WASN\u2019T EXPECTING ACTUAL PRINGLES TO POP OUT. WELL YOU GOTTA HAVE A SNACK IN OUTER SPACE IN MY FAVORITE SNACK OF CHOICE, OF COURSE, BEING PRINGLES MEANS THAT I\u2019M GONNA HAVE SOME GOOD ROAD TRIP FOOD. WELL, THAT IS ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN. ONE GIANT LEAP FOR PRINGLES CAN AND ENDED UP IN THE FRONT ROW THERE. YEAH. SO YEAH. SO THAT\u2019S OUR VERY, VERY QUICK COMBUSTION COMBINING FUEL HEAT AND OXYGEN AND GETS A EXPLOSIVE RESPONSE THERE THAT YOU CAN SEE. OUR PRINGLE CAN WENT INTO OUTER SPACE. YOU CAN GO TO WWE ORG AND FIND EXPERIMENTS LIKE THIS. AND ALL THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. AWESOME. HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS HERE RATHER SOON. BACK TO YOU. THAT HAS MY SON\u2019S NAME ALL OVER IT. HE WOULD LOVE THAT.
