create a tiny fountain from every hole

create a tiny fountain from every hole in the tube and you’ll be able to see

in the tube and you’ll be able to see

in the tube and you’ll be able to see which ones may have become clogged back

[Music] if you see any without a jet of water

if you see any without a jet of water

if you see any without a jet of water coming out of them you need to heat your

coming out of them you need to heat your

coming out of them you need to heat your pin back up and melt a new hole all the

pin back up and melt a new hole all the

pin back up and melt a new hole all the holes in our tubes seem to be working

holes in our tubes seem to be working

holes in our tubes seem to be working well which means our foam bubbler is

well which means our foam bubbler is

well which means our foam bubbler is complete and it’s time to start adding

complete and it’s time to start adding

complete and it’s time to start adding bubble soap and making foam we actually

bubble soap and making foam we actually

bubble soap and making foam we actually don’t want to use pure bubble soap it’s

don’t want to use pure bubble soap it’s

don’t want to use pure bubble soap it’s a little bit of a heavier liquid and so

a little bit of a heavier liquid and so

a little bit of a heavier liquid and so even with helium in it it’s heavy enough

even with helium in it it’s heavy enough

even with helium in it it’s heavy enough that it won’t float very well so what we

that it won’t float very well so what we

that it won’t float very well so what we actually want is about one part bubble

actually want is about one part bubble

actually want is about one part bubble soap and seven parts water

soap and seven parts water

soap and seven parts water [Music]

[Music]

[Music] gently stir the bubble soap in the water

gently stir the bubble soap in the water

gently stir the bubble soap in the water to get a nice even mixture

to get a nice even mixture

to get a nice even mixture [Music]

[Music]

[Music] we want to make sure there’s enough

we want to make sure there’s enough

we want to make sure there’s enough bubble solution to cover the vinyl

bubble solution to cover the vinyl

bubble solution to cover the vinyl tubing but we don’t want it to fill the

tubing but we don’t want it to fill the

tubing but we don’t want it to fill the pan there should be some exposed edge

pan there should be some exposed edge

pan there should be some exposed edge still now we need some helium the vinyl

still now we need some helium the vinyl

still now we need some helium the vinyl tube should fit snugly over the nozzle

tube should fit snugly over the nozzle

tube should fit snugly over the nozzle that comes attached to the helium tank

that comes attached to the helium tank

that comes attached to the helium tank just like that our foam bubbler is

just like that our foam bubbler is

just like that our foam bubbler is complete now let’s take this outside and

complete now let’s take this outside and

complete now let’s take this outside and make some floating foam balloons at this

make some floating foam balloons at this

make some floating foam balloons at this point we just undo the stopper on the

point we just undo the stopper on the

point we just undo the stopper on the tank press down on the valve and helium

tank press down on the valve and helium

tank press down on the valve and helium will start forming bubbles in our pan

will start forming bubbles in our pan

will start forming bubbles in our pan [Music]

[Music]

[Music] there it is

there it is

there it is [Applause]

I do find we get better and more

I do find we get better and more consistent results if we grow the

consistent results if we grow the

consistent results if we grow the bubbles out slowly instead of opening

bubbles out slowly instead of opening

bubbles out slowly instead of opening the valve as far as it will go I think

the valve as far as it will go I think

the valve as far as it will go I think by going slowly it allows time for the

by going slowly it allows time for the

by going slowly it allows time for the excess bubble fluid to drain off of the

excess bubble fluid to drain off of the

excess bubble fluid to drain off of the phone that’s forming so it doesn’t weigh

phone that’s forming so it doesn’t weigh

phone that’s forming so it doesn’t weigh it down Oh

it down Oh

it down Oh broke free there we go

broke free there we go

broke free there we go [Music]

now because all of the bubbles are full

now because all of the bubbles are full of helium as the tower grows it just

of helium as the tower grows it just

of helium as the tower grows it just sort of keeps itself straight up this

sort of keeps itself straight up this

sort of keeps itself straight up this lets you grow the tower taller and

lets you grow the tower taller and

lets you grow the tower taller and taller until too many bubbles pop or it

taller until too many bubbles pop or it

taller until too many bubbles pop or it has enough lift that it pulls itself

has enough lift that it pulls itself

has enough lift that it pulls itself right off

right off

right off [Music]

[Music]

[Music] or you can still see the last 100 wind

or you can still see the last 100 wind

or you can still see the last 100 wind wind has liberated the bubbles

wind has liberated the bubbles

wind has liberated the bubbles [Music]

[Music]

[Music] okay I added more bubble solution into

okay I added more bubble solution into

okay I added more bubble solution into the pan so there’s more if it covering

the pan so there’s more if it covering

the pan so there’s more if it covering up the vinyl tubes and what appears to

up the vinyl tubes and what appears to

up the vinyl tubes and what appears to happen is that I have a lot smaller

happen is that I have a lot smaller

happen is that I have a lot smaller bubbles now I’m not 100% sure if that’s

bubbles now I’m not 100% sure if that’s

bubbles now I’m not 100% sure if that’s gonna be a good thing or a bad thing yet

gonna be a good thing or a bad thing yet

gonna be a good thing or a bad thing yet I’m liking the look of this

I’m liking the look of this

I’m liking the look of this [Music]

there it goes there it goes it’s like a

there it goes there it goes it’s like a big white caterpillar going up and all

big white caterpillar going up and all

big white caterpillar going up and all the tree caught it I’m gonna try and

the tree caught it I’m gonna try and

the tree caught it I’m gonna try and free it I go they got let go

hmmm I think it lives there now

hmmm I think it lives there now [Music]

sticking to my hand but I think I’m

sticking to my hand but I think I’m gonna shake it off and it’s gonna take

gonna shake it off and it’s gonna take

gonna shake it off and it’s gonna take off into the air

off into the air

off into the air there it goes and it’s completely

there it goes and it’s completely

there it goes and it’s completely changed direction apparently the three

changed direction apparently the three

changed direction apparently the three little cloud bubble balloon Wow there it

little cloud bubble balloon Wow there it

little cloud bubble balloon Wow there it goes there it goes launching off into

goes there it goes launching off into

goes there it goes launching off into the sky that looks like a giant

the sky that looks like a giant

the sky that looks like a giant flavorless cheeto

flavorless cheeto

flavorless cheeto oh it’s cruising

sometimes right after you take it off

sometimes right after you take it off it’s still kind of dripping extra bubble

it’s still kind of dripping extra bubble

it’s still kind of dripping extra bubble soap so if you just give it a second

soap so if you just give it a second

soap so if you just give it a second it’ll start pulling more and more

it’ll start pulling more and more

it’ll start pulling more and more [Music]

[Music]

[Music] a little heavy oh there you go you can

a little heavy oh there you go you can

a little heavy oh there you go you can see as it starts dripping off some of

see as it starts dripping off some of

see as it starts dripping off some of the excess it will gain a little bit

the excess it will gain a little bit

the excess it will gain a little bit more altitude

it’s alive it does kind of look alive

it’s alive it does kind of look alive like it’s just moving in the wind and

like it’s just moving in the wind and

like it’s just moving in the wind and it’s just like a weird tentacle growing

just watch those foam balloons launching up into the sky this is a quick and easy

up into the sky this is a quick and easy

up into the sky this is a quick and easy build that you can do at home and it’s a

build that you can do at home and it’s a

build that you can do at home and it’s a ton of fun to play with I’ve got some

ton of fun to play with I’ve got some

ton of fun to play with I’ve got some crazy ideas about how to scale this up

crazy ideas about how to scale this up

crazy ideas about how to scale this up in the future including I want to try

in the future including I want to try

in the future including I want to try making a bubble pan that’s several feet

making a bubble pan that’s several feet

making a bubble pan that’s several feet across a couple other things I want to

across a couple other things I want to

across a couple other things I want to try are this helium that comes for

try are this helium that comes for

try are this helium that comes for filling balloons is actually not pure

filling balloons is actually not pure

filling balloons is actually not pure grade helium

grade helium

grade helium it’s helium mixed with about 20% air so

it’s helium mixed with about 20% air so

it’s helium mixed with about 20% air so I think we might get some better lift if

I think we might get some better lift if

I think we might get some better lift if we use some industrial-strength helium

we use some industrial-strength helium

we use some industrial-strength helium and then of course I also want to try

and then of course I also want to try

and then of course I also want to try using hydrogen so we can make some foam

using hydrogen so we can make some foam

using hydrogen so we can make some foam balloons that will light on fire when

in the other be very very yes no you can get it touch the ceiling if I have

get it touch the ceiling if I have

get it touch the ceiling if I have enough helium for that you can do it

enough helium for that you can do it

enough helium for that you can do it little foam Tower you can do it draw
