Falling, Floating, Feasting

In this episode of Street Genius, host Tim Shaw hits the Las Vegas streets and shines the spotlight on some incredible science as he tests the sticking power of glue, the kicking power of a rocket boot and the mystifying properties of dry ice. But first, it's man versus hot dog. Find out who can eat the most hot dogs against the clock and how. Later Tim takes time out at a popular restaurant to demonstrate how simple soap bubbles can be a fascinating source of science. Finally, Tim heads to a football stadium to find out if a human goal-kicker can kick farther than the competition of three machine-based alternatives - a pneumatic boot, an elastic-powered boot and even a rocket boot.
