😴 Don’t Wake Aquro!

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]Oh, Labbie, this is Neon. Where are you?

[00:00:02]Shh, calm down. You need to be quiet.

[00:00:04]Can't you see that Accrue is sleeping?

[00:00:08]He was up all night because of those cats fighting in the alleyway. He just got him to go to sleep. And if he wakes up one more time, he's going to be a very cranky puppy.

[00:00:17]Uh, I see. Well, unfortunately, Professor World sent me to tell you that he needs you to perform three new experiments in the lab today. You'll find the required materials in that box there. Today?

[00:00:30]Oh, man, I didn't want to risk waking up Accrue.

[00:00:33]I sure hope that these experiments are at least quiet ones.

[00:00:40]Uh.

[00:00:45]Oh, no.

[00:00:48]The professor says these experiments will all deal with pressure. For the first experiment, he asked you to press the balloon into a sharp tack and see what happens. What? Is he just trying to get me to wake Accrue up? Of course this balloon is going to pop if I press the thumbtack into it.

[00:01:05]Unless if I press this balloon down into this one tack, all the pressure is going to be in that one spot, and that will surely pop our balloon. But maybe if I press our balloon into a whole bunch of tacks, maybe it'll spread the pressure evenly enough to keep our balloon safe.

[00:01:25]I sure hope my theory is correct. I guess here goes nothing.

[00:01:34]>> [laughter] >> It worked. Oh, yeah.

[00:01:44]Well done, Neon. But for your next experiment, I'm afraid the professor has tasked you with inserting a sharp skewer all the way through the balloon. There's no way the professor wants me to put this all the way through the balloon.

[00:01:55]It's going to pop for sure.

[00:01:58]Unless there's a part of the balloon that's less likely to pop.

[00:02:02]Like right here at the top and right here at the knot where it's actually darker. That means that the latex is less stretched out and it's thicker.

[00:02:10]And if I lubricate the skewer with dish soap, it might give it just enough slip to go through the balloon without making [music] it pop.

[00:02:21]Let's hope this works.

[00:02:23]All right, here goes nothing. Okay, so we need to make sure that we poke right by the knot of the balloon.

[00:02:30]Okay, easy peasy. Now we need to make sure we line it up perfectly with that top that has the thicker spot. And hopefully if we can get a really good poke, it'll go all the way through.

[00:02:43]Like that.

[00:02:46]Excellent work, Neon. You found the area of the balloon which were least strained, meaning they could withstand the pressure of the skewer. Now, it's time for the final experiment.

[00:02:56]Final experiment?

[00:02:59]Okay.

[00:03:02]Wow, a balloon.

[00:03:05]Oh boy.

[00:03:06]This just keeps getting better and better.

[00:03:08]For your last experiment, the professor would like you to touch an inflated balloon to a lit candle. Remember, don't try this at home without an adult supervision.

[00:03:17]But doesn't the professor know that the flame will most definitely melt the latex, thus popping the balloon and waking up our poor puppy?

[00:03:37]If only there's a way to draw the heat away from the latex. Hmm.

[00:03:43]I've got it. I'll be right back.

[00:03:45]So water is a great conductor of heat.

[00:03:48]Maybe if I put water inside of my balloon.

[00:03:57]You know what? I think we're going to need quite a bit of water.

[00:04:03]Maybe just a little more.

[00:04:06]do do do And then we inflate our balloon.

[00:04:14]>> [snorts] >> Maybe the water inside of our balloon will absorb the heat from the candle and protect our balloon from popping. But, there's only one way to find out, which means we need to test this out and see if our theory works. Ooh. All right, here goes nothing.

[00:04:32]Cue the dramatic [music] music. Dun dun. Dun dun.

[00:04:36]Dun dun.

[00:04:38]Easy does it.

[00:04:40]Easy does it. Just a little bit more.

[00:04:42]Easy does it and What?

[00:04:47]That's incredible.

[00:04:49]It's totally working. The water inside of the balloon is absorbing all of the heat and it protect our balloon. And look, you can even see the soot from the candle.

[00:04:59]Terrific work today, Neon. You performed all three experiments without waking up a crew. The professor has instructed me to now play a celebratory message he prepared for you.

[00:05:09]Oh, no, no, no, come don't.

[00:05:10]>> Congrats. Congrats. Congrats. Congrats.

[00:05:14]Congrats.

[00:05:18]>> [laughter] >> Oh, it was so close.

[00:05:29]Anyways, thank you so much for watching and we'll see you next time for more fun with your favorite Lava Sister Neon.

[00:05:36]Bye. Oh, Akurau, I have your favorite bedtime story.

[00:05:40]Yeah, no, you love this story.
