Where to watch "Desafios Mentais"
12. Human Cannonball
No release date yet
Host Tim Shaw explores why things do what they do by setting up some sensational experiments. First, find out which volatile combination will be enough to fire a life-sized dummy out of a massive cannon. Then, Tim shows us how to balance 18 nails on the head of one, explains why you can’t eat more than a few crackers in under a minute, and demonstrates the best way to separate egg yolks from whites. Finally, Tim takes us to the scrap yard for an experiment that seems to bend the laws of gravity.
11. Blasts, Fire, & Beers
No release date yet
Join host Tim Shaw in the Nevada desert to set off some explosives and find out what material can - or can’t - contain the blasts. Next, it’s teatime, and Tim shows us what happens when an unlit match meets super-heated steam. At an engineering workshop, he demonstrates how spinning a kerosene flame can transform it. And finally, Tim invites workers at a scrap yard to guess how to set a huge cable reel rolling and begin the demolition of a car ready for the crusher.
10. Pedal To The Metal
No release date yet
Host Tim Shaw invites us to guess the outcome of his outrageous experiments, as he tackles the intense white-heat of magnesium, the strength of car components, and the winning qualities of increased muscle power. Find out what happens when two soda bottles - one small and one large - are put under extreme pressure. Ever been stuck with a wine bottle but no corkscrew? Tim shows us how to open a bottle without one.
9. Shock & Awe
No release date yet
Tim Shaw, the man they call the street genius, takes us on a road trip to show why things do what they do. He asks which gas-filled weather balloon will give the biggest bang, what happens when water pressure matches up against a steel tank, how many rubber bands can be stretched around a watermelon, and which weird rocket fuel will be the most effective. Plus, how to quench your thirst – with a chainsaw!
8. Blow It Up
No release date yet
Tim Shaw tries some explosive experiments. First, he explores which material will propel a bowling ball out of a cannon. Next, he shows diners what happens in their stomachs when they take antacids. Then Tim finds out how fast a golf ball needs to fly out of an air-cannon to hit a watermelon as it’s dropped to the ground. A volunteer tries to suck up juice through long straws from 20 feet. Finally, Tim demonstrates what happens when thermite is placed on blocks of ice and ignited.
7. Positively Shocking
No release date yet
Witness destructive forces with Tim Shaw, starting with man-made lightning. Guess what will happen to four gas-filled dummies in different attire when lightning strikes each one. Then, watch as Tim tries to cook an egg on a sheet of newspaper placed over an open flame. Next, find out the crushing capabilities of a professional food blender, and then, how a set of pantyhose can act as a lid on a jar of water. Finally, visit a firing range to see which of four desserts can stop a shotgun pellet.
6. Pressure Cooker
No release date yet
Tim Shaw demonstrates the incredible truth about the world around us in a series of mind-blowing experiments. The first stop is an improvised firing range where Tim shows us what item can withstand the impact of a high-tension crossbow bolt. Next, Tim uses some modified Rollerblades to see how additional wheels affect speed. Then, find out how whiskey and water interact in a gravity-defying way, and discover how to make lemons taste astonishingly sweet.
5. Crash & Burn
No release date yet
Tim Shaw takes us on an incendiary Las Vegas road trip to find out why things do what they do. First Tim shows us what happens when a truck is driven at just 35 miles an hour beneath a set of falling cinder blocks. Next, Tim demonstrates how water balloons can stop bullets. Then he uses a $25,000 hovercraft to showcase the astonishing power of hurricane-force winds, and shows what happens when two sports balls are dropped together. Finally, Tim tests the explosive potential of four cars.
4. Shooters, Showers, & Shockwaves
No release date yet
Tim Shaw investigates why things do what they do. First, Tim heads to a deserted parking lot with a group of baseball players tasked with firing baseballs at targets from a pitching machine mounted on the back of Tim’s jeep. Then Tim shows us what will happen to two party balloons in a moving van - one filled with helium tethered to the floor, and one filled with air, tethered to the roof. Tim also attempts to blow up diaper bags, and fill a car tire to its bursting point.
3. Master Blaster
No release date yet
Tim Shaw takes us into the world of street science as he demonstrates the incredible truths about the world around us. Tim sets off fire extinguisher rockets and finds out what happens when a person gets vacuum-packed. Next, Tim demonstrates how to squeeze a boiled egg into a narrow-necked bottle without touching it. Tim also introduces us to an extraordinary liquid that we take completely for granted, before he travels out of town to set off a truly massive, earth-shattering blast.
2. Shattering Conclusions
No release date yet
Tim Shaw takes us on an explosive journey to explore the incredible truth of why things do what they do. Tim first demonstrates what happens when liquid oxygen meets flaming hot coals. Then, Tim attempts to get something out of nothing - by removing the air from an empty wine bottle! Next, Tim enlists the help of four high-rise window cleaners who stand on a pane of toughened glass while Tim tries to break it.
1. Falling, Floating, Feasting
No release date yet
Tim Shaw hits the Las Vegas streets to do some incredible science, testing the sticking power of glue, the kicking power of a rocket boot and the mystifying properties of dry ice. But first, it’s man versus hot dog. Find out who can eat the most hot dogs against the clock. Later, Tim takes time out at a restaurant to demonstrate how soap bubbles can be a fascinating source of science. Finally, Tim heads to a football stadium to find out if a human goal-kicker can kick farther than three machines.
