Mark Rober builds a custom indoor snow roller coaster and tire swing for a boy named Ethan who recovered from a rare neurological condition, testing various rocket and turbine configurations with cartoon-inspired pranks.
From the video
Answers: How do you build a Phineas and Ferb indoor snow roller coaster in real life?
- indoor roller coaster build
- Phineas and Ferb birthday party
- rocket-powered tire swing
- cartoon physics testing in real life
- snow cone machine and snow maker
What it concludes
- Rocket-powered tire swings rely heavily on the creative boundaries of cartoon physics with peak forces 35 times what a human can endure.
- A dual chain configuration provides much more stability for a rocket-powered swing.
- Swapping chains for solid rods allowed the rocket forces to rip the half-ton steel swing structure out from the stakes anchoring it into the ground.
- Swapping rockets for a pair of 24-volt electric turbines provides smoke-free thrust and allows precise tuning to the natural frequency of the swing.
- An 8-week virtual space-themed summer camp helps kids fight summer brain drain with weekly videos and mega experiments.
