Street Genius - Episode Guide

Tim's opening experiment takes us trackside for a new way of re-creating the familiar trick of pulling a tablecloth away without disturbing the table settings. But the table will be set for a banquet of 24, and the cloth will be attached to a quarter of a mile of cord pulled by a stock car travelling at 115 miles per hour. Then, he attempts to rescue a tub of melted ice cream using a microwave and some flour, and demonstrates the reaction of a marshmallow placed inside a small vacuum chamber.

Get ready for more surprising street science as Tim performs extraordinary experiments with captivating outcomes to get to the extraordinary truth behind "what makes things do what they do". At a gas pump, Tim recreates the circumstances 'cigarettes, cell phones and static electricity' that could cause a raging inferno capable of blowing up a car. Then he turns his attention to his car's sound system, playing heavy bass through a mix of cornstarch and water for a different type of dancing.

Tim invites us to guess which product normally stored in a garden shed could actually blow one apart. The answer is both explosive and enlightening. Next, he tests which object 'a tennis ball, a cue ball, a rubber ball and a steel ball' is the bounciest. The outcome has some of the group baffled. Then Tim invites some diners at an open-air restaurant to find objects that will resist the fire power of a very unique type of blowtorch.

Tim takes us on a journey into the world of the spectacular and surprising science that's all around us. This time he finds out how to shoot fire from the barrel of a shotgun, create a dramatic effect in a microwave and destroy a desert boulder with an improvised explosive. Will you or his volunteers be able to guess the outcomes of his incredible experiments, and work out why things do what they do? All the answers are in None of the Above.
