EP1 Rube Goldberg Machine Jan 01, 0001

Phil builds a maxxed out Rube Goldberg machine and learns a lot about different kinds of forces. Gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy, chemical, electrical you name the force, we've got it in this episode!

EP2 Trebuchet Jan 01, 0001

A Trebuchet is a giant, lever-based catapult. Phil uses it to hurl pumpkins! Mechanical advantage and the history of the trebuchet are what's being tossed your way on this episode, along with a lot of pumpkins, heads up!

EP3 Hydraulics Jan 01, 0001

Starting with a small, syringe powered hydraulic arm, Phil maxxes things out by learning how to use the mechanical advantage of hydraulics to crush stuff!!! Plus: Filtering water, the Archimedes screw, hydro dipping and more!

EP4 Rotation Jan 01, 0001

Making a maxxed out spinning top is just the start. Phil experiments with the Magnus effect, gyroscopic precession, pushing string and Da Vinci's perpetual motion wheel.

EP5 Geodesic Dome Jan 01, 0001

How do you max out a dome made of gumdrops and toothpicks? Well, how about trying to build one with oranges? Still not good enough? How about pumpkins!? Phil also gets the record in maxxed-out cup stacking.

EP6 Slime Jan 01, 0001

Slime is made of polymers, which are long chains of molecules that explain how many things are made. From plastics, to fabrics to our own DNA, polymers are everywhere. And we have a lot of them contained in a tub of slime.

EP7 Antacid Rocket Jan 01, 0001

When antacid tablets mix with water, you get a chemical reaction. Phil harnesses this to make several variations on rockets! Plus, why acids and bases react and how to use chemistry to make light or instant crystals.

EP8 Pumpkin Drop Jan 01, 0001

How do you max out an egg drop? With pumpkins, of course! Material science is the focus of this episode: nitinol, ulexite, carbon nanotubes, hagfish slime, aerogel and a great deal of squashed pumpkins.

EP9 Gravity Boat Jan 01, 0001

Phil tries to max-out a boat that propels itself using just water and gravity. We pour over water specifically and fluids in general. Heavy air, fluid sand, Archimedes and the metric system; this overflows with science!

EP10 Friction Slide Jan 01, 0001

Who'd have thought something as simple as a wooden ramp could teach so much about science? Of course, it's helpful when it's 2 stories tall. Explore friction with frogs, rice, one detective and two books stuck together!

EP11 Mousetrap Boat Jan 01, 0001

Building a boat that propels itself with the spring tension of a mousetrap is just the start. How about a long line of rat traps? Propulsion and inertia are powering this episode as Phil explores how to make things go.

EP12 Air Surfing Jan 01, 0001

Air is a fluid, just like water. That means you can surf it if you make a tumblewing. Phil explores lots of different methods of flight all while maxxing out the tumblewing.

EP13 Nucleation Fountain Jan 01, 0001

Diet cola and mints! A fun experiment that's even more awesome when maxxed out. Air pressure bubbles through this episode, including marshmallows in a vacuum chamber, pulling an egg into a flask and carbonating pickle juice!

Reviews

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
