Can Humans Charge a Tesla? (ft. Airrack)
How many miles would you run to fully charge a Tesla?
I built @airrack a Human Hamster Machine to find out!
Together we opened up a fake Tesla exhibit called Tesla Labs, and tried to harness the power of complete strangers while they exercised on The Wheel.
This video explains the science behind what it would take to charge a Tesla with only human man-power, and shares the engineering that went into the build!
If you're here from the Mafia, thanks for coming over and supporting my channel!... I'm so pumped to have worked with Airrack, and am excited for future adventures!

I Built the World's Largest Pizza Box (feat. Airrack)
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
I built Airrack the World's Largest Pizza Box while secretly trying to break his world record for Delivering the World's Largest Pizza Slice! The Giant Pizza Box had an actual world's largest slice of pizza inside (uncooked) from the practice pizza for the World's Largest Pizza Guinness World Record. Somehow we managed to sneak backstage at TH-cam Theater in the SoFi football Stadium to surpris...

How to Pick the BEST Watermelon (from grocery store)
มุมมอง 13Kปีที่แล้ว
We bought over 500 lbs of watermelon to learn how to pick the best watermelon from the grocery store. With the help of our friends, science, and the experimental method, we discovered some delicious results! We tried all of the most common techniques, including orange field spots, brown stems vs. green stems, heaviness per size, striping colors, and of course... the watermelon knocking techniqu...
Which AA Battery Should You Buy? Best Battery Brand COMPETITION
มุมมอง 38K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Which AA Battery is BEST? I did a bracket-style tournament competition to find out which batteries you should consider buying. The battery competition is fierce, but you might be surprised by the bracket results. I know that I was! With the help of science, we test which batteries last the longest, and which AA battery brands offer the best value (cost per amp). We'll also learn what happens wh...

Science Experiments with CICADAS
มุมมอง 3843 ปีที่แล้ว
I spent 6 weeks doing science experiments with periodical cicadas to explore all the juicy details about the periodical cicada emergence, such as why and how cicadas make noise, when cicadas are the loudest, what cicadas eat, and even... what eating cicadas in jello tastes like. Along the way, we recorded lots of footage throughout the cicada life cycle such as the Brood X cicada emergence, and...

    I was hoping for an XYZ sensor like in a cell phone on two sided tape and a coin battery with LED. So now this is a General Public bathroom seat question about up and down. When the GP travels and uses a family friendly toilet this is what I see that goes down (or not). Men away from home are going to pee on the seat because they can get away with it. Women pee on the seat as they won't sit on it because men pee on it. So if every one is going to piss on it and not touch it let's just leave it up. I will decide to treat it as a clean seat and leave it up.

    Great video! I wonder if an update will be coming? The big companies like Duracell and Energizer seem to have a few different versions of their batteries now to confuse us even more and probably try to get more money from us. E.g. Energizer Industrial. Energizer Max. Energizer MaxPlus. Energizer Ultimate. And then with Duracell we have Duracell Procell Constant. Duracell Procell Intense Power. Duracell Plus. Duracell Ultra. Duracell Optimum. It would be interesting to know how many mAh all of these different products cost and their price so we can figure it all out.

    Last year I bought 20 pack of RAYOVAC high energy alkaline, several of them leak in my TV remote, I thoght that was a thing of the past. So now I might try different bran, ruled out high price Duracell, I'll either go with the rabbit or a off brand brand of a popular brand.......

    Firstly, the Energizer Lithium is a lithium battery, not lithium ion. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable batteries. And lithium batteries have objectively higher performance than alkaline batteries. Secondly, testing different alkaline brands is useless because you will get different results every time. The quality of the battery isn't dependent on the brand. It's actually completely random. If you test between two batteries from the same brand just bought at different times, you will likely find that they also perform differently, making the test actually quite useless. But this means that cheaper alkaine batteries are almost always better because they are the same but for cheaper. More expensive battery brands like duracell and energizer are a con in that they use neuromarketing and play on brand loyalty to simply convince people that their products are better when they're not. It's the same as branded pharmaceutical products. It's the exact same product; they just make more money from trying to convince you that, because they are an established brand, their product is somehow superior. That's how I think it really works.

    I really like your channel, stumbled upon it after watching some reviews about car battery boosters. I like the family oriented/ dad oriented themes and video inserts - as if from the eye of the hard working and responsible father who needs to procure batteries to keep the kid/s happy with their battery powered toys. We all know those batteries in toys die at the worst moment. So it's nice and I would say important to have a pack of batteries of various letters and sizes to accommodate battery needs at home.

    The lithium batteries will destroy the performance of every battery you compared them too. Cold doesnt affect them and they don't discharge over time like the others do. I can put a game camera up in October and go get it the first of March and the batteries worked flawlessly.

  • @jerrym2321
    @jerrym2321 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So capacity is not nearly as important as which battery will leak most often and ruin your gear. I've had real bad experiences with most alkaline batteries, and Energizer and Duracell are both bad. I've yet to experience any leaks with a lithium battery. One other thing....lithium batteries produce 1.2 Vdc whereas alkaline batteries (should) make 1.5 Vdc. The alkaline batteries will be brighter in a flashlight (at least at first, but lithium will hold a more consistent voltage throughout their life cycle), but will not make any difference in things like game cameras. Food for thought....what matters to you?

    • @michaellemon8287
      @michaellemon8287 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You confused lithium with NiMH rechargeable batteries - those are the ones with 1.2 V. But lithium non-rechargeable batteries actually have slightly higher voltage than alkaline batteries - they start at 1.8 V but quickly drop to 1.5 or less depending on the load. Their voltage is also pretty consistent and higher than alkaline batteries - in a flashlight they will be both brighter and keep consistent output. And they will beat alkalines to death in freezing temperatures.
