The key to the Popsicle Chain Reaction comes from potential and kinetic energy. As you weave the popsicle sticks together, you are continually building potential energy. Each popsicle stick is bent over the stick before it and pinned under the stick before that, creating tension in the wood. When you finally have the chain length that you want, you let go and all of the tension and potential energy is released in a chain reaction of kinetic energy!

@UltraSpyAgent12345 10 лет назад

This works because the energy contained inside the stick bomb is potential energy and when it is let go, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

@TheOpinionLover 11 лет назад

Nice. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Science is full of wonder.

@Captain1diot 11 лет назад

I'd love to see a longer chain! That looked awesome!

@mkwpros124 11 лет назад

i have known this for a long time and i always love watching it! once again another great video steve!!!!

@sylvielmna 11 лет назад

0:50 when he's just standing there as though nothings happening. I laughed so hard!

@NoMoreLles 11 лет назад

Just from looking at it, as far as i can tell, since every stick is trying to lift every other stick on a sort of seesaw fashion, if both sides are being held down on the seesaw, all the energy from the recoil when they pop back up to a normal position is what causes them all to pop

@brendamage08 10 лет назад

Science is the most incredible and amazing thing that exist in this world

@teodorwestholm7004 9 лет назад

science is this world. sort of

@freepeace1 3 месяца назад

It also can be used as a whip! *Rematerializing it in a popsicle universe*

@Scalooosh 11 лет назад

I'VE WAITED FOR THIS! and yes, the slow mo guys definitely need to do this.

@ToChangeABlightBulb 11 лет назад

the Popsicle sticks bend when you place them over each other that way. when you release the Popsicle sticks want to snap back to being straight, but they cant because of the other popsicle sticks. this causes the end stick to pop up first, and that allows the next two to pop up, allowing the next to pop up, and so on and so forth... was i correct..? thats just my guess. :P once again, great video spangler!

@strokesfan1107 11 лет назад

I'm putting the dominoes back in the box and heading to the frozen foods section

@hunteranddajman2 11 лет назад

The kinetic king does that, but wit a thousand sticks!

@gamer100z 11 лет назад

theyre pushed in together really hard with that weave and letting go of that hardness makes it go boom

@CharlieilrahC 11 лет назад

There is pressure holding each stick down. Each stick holds the next stick down and so on... When the pressure held on the last one is released, it jumps off. There is therefore no pressure holding the next sticks down, so they jump away, and this repeats over and over until you get to the end of the chain of sticks.

@themaskedcrusader 11 лет назад

Bending the Popsicle sticks stores energy as potential energy. The force of the finger on the leading edge maintains the potential energy, until that force is removed. This converts the potential energy into kinetic energy, and removing the pressure holding the next stick's potential energy, and so on down the line.... Booyah!

@txoohwaxiong2269 3 месяца назад

This guy really had four hands to hold it still and make it

@NawtieBoy96 11 лет назад

Energy is stored which in releasing our finger is changed into. Work and heat

@Beastmode1234567able 11 лет назад

What happens is kinetic energy it has all this energy built up and when you release pressure all the energy is real eased

@AlayGuagBaq 11 лет назад

aww.. dang! im gonna be eating LOTS of popsicles.... this summer.

@varunspidey99 11 лет назад

Wow! That is fascinating! And it is so easy to do at home!

@felixcroc 11 лет назад

I think what causes the reaction is at the end of the line, the sticks are bent and they have nothing to keep them bent. They then flip to straight, and that moves them out of the way. Then the next pair of sticks is at the end, and repeat.

@jenniferkhuu8433 11 лет назад

It has kinetic energy when you do that.

@TAABird 11 лет назад

Spring like force.

@KelseyTheOfficial 11 лет назад

This reminds me of a contestant on America's got Talent a couple of seasons back!

@SocialNomad 11 лет назад

Stick Bombs are always fun to play with :D

@christaylor6112 10 лет назад

you made a spring of sorts ..the purple is under tension..when its released it forces the blue stick up and the rest follow

@crystalyoung7907 11 лет назад

Whats happening is that sence they are tucked under each other when you let go it flicks up cuz it cant stay down and the rest follow

@lilrapunzel1338 11 лет назад

Steve PLZ be my science teacher you are soo good at science lol

@nicholasdunn999 2 года назад

"the key is potential energy . . . ' - the KEY is using large craft sticks. This doesn't work with normal, more common regular size craft sticks. They are too small.

@alinstoi 11 лет назад

I like this experiment because it requires very simple materials!

@steveruiz5488 10 лет назад

kinetic energy is released

@MultiPaulinator 11 лет назад

*"Tongue depressors" And that specific technique is known as the "cobra weave" eponymous to the snake it resembles after being "detonated" from the opposite side.

@crazyzippyfumblefish 11 лет назад

someone did this on America's got talent! now i know how! such a cool little trick

@SamanthaPortUkulele 11 лет назад

I like how you capitalized "Transformed." It makes it look like Transformers have something to do with this.

@TheMoonlightlove123 11 лет назад

Well it is very simple if you go by the " things in motion must stay in motion and thins not in motion can't stay in motion"( kinda forgot the saying a bit I am tiyord) if you were pushing down the sticks the kinetic energy is not in motion so the fact is that if you put a Popsicle stick in the far left and right then took it out it would create a bigger affect on it ( I am not normally this smart).

@YouMightNeedToHearThis 11 лет назад

This is so much better than dominos.

@olivenicholl1710 2 года назад

this is so cool but it is also hard

@arzola0999 11 лет назад

This is awesome i am definitely using this at school

@KholdStare54 11 лет назад

This is pretty cool.

@emiletetrt 11 лет назад

It has something to do with potential stored energy? or something like that, can't remember.

@wstampede5 11 лет назад

the potontial energy is released and it pops

@bigshot4512 11 лет назад

awesome. i think it's kinetic energy

@lavender_honey03 9 лет назад

Why does it need adult supervision??????

@joseluisjasa6875 9 лет назад

Yeah like we kids don't have amazing eyes

@firekirby123 11 лет назад

Ah, I always wanted to know how the kids in the gif were able to pull that little trick off. Now I know. Brilliant!

@montano0222 11 лет назад

Its the potental energy

@CaryDominic123 11 лет назад

potential energy is the cause of the reaction....the greater the potential energy as the chain is longer. and when letting go the potential energy stored becomes kinetic energy, which creates the stick bomb to explode...

@sonrisamarie 11 лет назад

neat...I can't wait for my son to get home to show him

@MrPSH97 11 лет назад

The reaction is caused by the amount of force holding those popsicles together from the one end to your hand and letting go leaving the force nowhere to hang on to thus launching the popsicles in the air... Science!

@bilboswaggins9291 11 лет назад

They are all under pressure and when you let UI they spring up

@ayyawar 11 лет назад

My Brother used to make then, I used to push him, before he was almost done!! ;)

@rishabhdeep7990 11 лет назад

potential energy gets stored in sticks

@GameLand101 11 лет назад

Ahem, this is very simple, THE FINGERS DID ALL OF IT

@alienware166 11 лет назад

Some sick science right there.

@jadariusjones8777 11 лет назад

he was using potential and kinetic energy

@saramonDGX2 11 лет назад

awesome

@MadCodex 11 лет назад

Elastic force is strong with this one.

@Greynwolf 11 лет назад

That's so cool.

@WeirdGuy207 11 лет назад

Awesome! I have always wanted to know how to do this!

@XempireX18 11 лет назад

this guy is an octopus that he has many hands.

@MrMica22 11 лет назад

yup, that was an awesome experiment!

@MrItsthething 11 лет назад

I want to set someone's school binder on the end of this so they pick it up and it surprises them.

@saracoolnes12345 11 лет назад

the potential energy is released !?

@ryleyshnew5664 11 лет назад

it should me and my friends made ones with just 5 that held together till you threw it at something

@spencerbruce 11 лет назад

Saw a video just like this on someone's channel a few days ago

@attill2508 11 лет назад

This makes my 6 years old Brother laugh so hard.

@pyromaniack8369 9 лет назад

Adult Supervision... No

@00101110o 11 лет назад

What I want to know is what's stopping the beginning from flying everywhere instead.

@NanaQ365 11 лет назад

o.o wow that is a good idea... gonna show the kids at camp! XD

@zahidamin25 11 лет назад

Potential energy from the bend was then converted to kinetic creating a reaction

@GlowyKangaroo 11 лет назад

That's like a wooden Prince Rupert's Drop o.o I've got to try that!

@SourCakezMC 11 лет назад

i like both.

@mikeyfreestone4397 11 лет назад

Awesome video

@dantheman2k 11 лет назад

that was pretty sick!!!

@austinhernandez2716 11 лет назад

There was a guy on Americas got talent who did this it was a very long chain all curled up everybody liked him he was called the "kinetic king" (I think) he did more with blocks and balls falling everywhere and this flag he could have won he almost did
