Wish there was time for explanations, but I understand he had to hurry before they cut to commercial. I don't get how the balloon ruptured when it wasn't deformed anywhere near full capacity. Or maybe it didn't rupture. Maybe that was a sucking noise we heard, not a popping noise.
The soap breaks the surface tension. You can do this with a bowl/plate of water, sprinkle ground black pepper ontop, then drip soap in the middle. It'll do the same thing. :)
This guy has crystallized my thoughts.
It's breaking surface tension and that is DRIVING the surface tension motor boat around in circles. YES!!!
I love his enthusiasm
Every generation needs it's own Bill Nye :)
I love Bill Bye, I watched him as a kid!
It didn't really explain surface tension. But it was a fun video
This guy is amazing.
I love the fire at the end.

My 12-year-old niece loves Bill Nye and so do I :-D
man he was young back then...
Outside of TV appearances, he recently took over as executive director of The Planetary Society (a space science advocacy group).
Bill Nye is so dope!!
He was so young.
oh I miss him! Bill is the best!
Before actually, Bill Nye was first on in '93.

Very helpful. Thank - You

It's easy to find videos of Bill Nye the science guy but how come it's so hard to find videos of Mr. Wizard's World?

I was hoping the host would say "surface tension" repeatedly, only for Pat Cashman to exclaim "ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!"

I wish I could show this to my students but it's a tad inappropriate. Excellent demonstrations though!
There's plenty of kid friendly videos with Bill Nye.
