00:00Don't blink, let me show you the power of science.
00:02Poke a hole in the cap of an unopened beer bottle.
00:04Give it a light tap and the beer will gush out.
00:06Do you know why?
00:07Dip the stem of a leaf into some ink and place it in water.
00:09The leaf will start moving.
00:11Do you know the principle behind this?
00:12If you try to tap a hole in the bottom of a mug, it shatters.
00:15But if you strike it while it's underwater, you can easily punch a hole through it.
00:18Why is this?
00:19Cut a piece of orange peel and gently squeeze it toward a candle flame.
00:22It can actually shoot out a blazing fire.
00:24Rub your finger on the orange peel and then touch a balloon.
00:27It pops instantly.
00:28Rub an iron needle on a magnet a few times and place it on the water's surface.
00:32It will spin automatically and when it stops, it will point north and south.
00:35Making a DIY compass is just that simple.
00:37Pour water to different levels in three out of four cups.
00:40How do you distribute it evenly across all four cups?
00:42Just place water-filled bent straws between the cups
00:44and you'll see the water distribute evenly into each one.
00:47This is the siphon effect.
00:48Sandwich a piece of paper with a magnet, add a screw and a battery,
00:51and use a piece of wire to connect the battery and the magnet.
00:54The paper will spin rapidly.
00:55This is how an electric fan works.
00:57What if you get chewing gum stuck on your pants and can't peel it off?
01:00Just put an ice cube on it, wait a moment, and the gum will easily peel right off.
01:03What if your AC remote only has one battery?
01:06Use a piece of wire to connect the positive and negative terminals,
01:09and the remote will work perfectly fine.
01:11Put a frozen grape into ice-gold water, and the water will quickly freeze around it.
01:15This is the secret to instantly freezing water.
01:18A single flat sheet of paper can't support much weight,
01:20but if you fold it back and forth into a corrugated shape,
01:23it successfully holds up the object's weight.
01:25This is the power of structural integrity.
01:27This is the power of structural integrity.
