Episode 44 - Create light with Mentos, save gas and generate free power! [Discussion]

[travislopes]

3 clever hacks: save on gas, use Mentos and Mt. Dew to create an emergency light and a way to harness the power of photons to create free energy.

[ezxen]

ha ha ha Mt dew and mentos = light LULZ!!!!!

[jmbadger]

My jaw is sore from trying to extract the hooks you two set in there with this episode! :o I guess I'm lucky I bothered to watch all the way to the end instead of clicking off as soon as the credits started.

I was fully preparing to run out and find some Mentos and Dew. :p

And, yes, I tried the peroxide and Dew trick when I saw it on youtube. But I thought, "Patrick would never try to scam me." :eek:

I hope you make up for all this with a fantastic show next week.

[ste116]

I was watching it while playing a game and bought it untill they said April fools.:p I didn't think Dave and Patrick would do an April fools joke but i was wrong.

[blackbird1]

Better than Diggnation's, Ok I was trying not to buy it but I did, I suspected, but was pwnd.:eek:

[esalonia]

lawl, nice job... had me going.

[samureye]

Best. Systm. Ever. HA!

[bani-banan]

This. was. awesome.

[lordbyron]

This. was. awesome.

HA HA that was cold!

Systm is the best program ever!

April fools or not? Hmmmmmm

[usaownz]

Damn that had me duppped good, I was contemplating trying out the Moutain Dew thing, too. I was skeptical but figured it was worth a shot, it's a good thing I saw the end, otherwise I would have been pretty sticking and wet by the end of the day.

[prototek]

You guys got me on the glowing Mt. Dew. I'm studying biochemistry and it seemed plausible. The free energy machine tipped me off though. My skepticism kicked in high gear when I heard free energy.

[computermatt]

that was much better then the Diggnation prank, however I now know I wasted 15 minutes of my life watching it :(

[d3koy]

Out of curiosity, how did you do the mentos and dew? I assume a glow stick?

[xhysa]

Your all muppets. I realised pretty much as soon as they refused to turn off the lights to see the "glowing mountain dew" thing. They did okay for nerds, but Patrick kept saying "So you're telling me.." which gave it a way too. And they refused to look directly at the camera.

Good effort though.

[serafina]

Pat just taped/held a flashlight to the back of the bottle

[ddreier]

As much as I'd like to say the 'perpetual energy' thing tipped me off, I can't. Y'all did an excelent job of pulling off this prank, I was sitting on the edge of my seat ready to go and get some Mentos and Mountain Dew after I was done watching.

Can't wait for next week, great job!

[jagtar]

got me....
although free energy seemed too good to be true

awesome entertainment!

[menikmati]

i always pretty close to running to the grocery store for some Mountain Dew and Mentos, but the free energy part gave it away for me. The increased MPG boost from the Right Guard also was obvious to me, being a car nut.

[Bass Chaz]

Hmmm. Aren't Diesel engines 2 stroke and motorcycles 4? (AND GAS POWERED!)
Had me...

for a bit, I admit!

[kronos6948]

You Assholes!! You got me. I was really happy for Dave, thinking that maybe he figured out something Tesla was working on.

Next time you mention Tesla, it better be that crappy 80's hair band.

Best SYSTM in a while.




...Jerks.

[zorgul]

I was wondering if they went crazy ...... I forgot about april 1st!

[Bass Chaz]

I was into it and then BAM it hit me.

Diesel engines are 2 stroke and motorcycles are 4! And GAS powered!

Thanks for the laugh!

[lordbyron]

I was into it and then BAM it hit me.

Diesel engines are 2 stroke and motorcycles are 4! And GAS powered!

Thanks for the laugh!

Not all motorcycles are 4 stroke....

[lordbyron]

It would be interesting how many people would say it was all BS if they did not fess up at the end.

[cybersuchus]

Pat & Dave; you bastards! :)

Like everyone else, I was ready to hop out and grab some Mentos and Mountain Dew. The P.E. stuff had me skeptical, but not April 1st skeptical. I just figured that Dave wasn't taking into account some net energy loss, and that the LED would die after awhile (just like with a Faraday flashlight).

Having no mechanical sense, I fell for the Right Guard gas mileage thing easily. Though it was at this point that I started questioning the integrity of Systm and Pat's "HSN" like personality change.

This was way better than Alex and Kevin's attempts. That's rather sad when you think about. Alex is the professional actor, and he couldn't keep a straight face, yet there's Patrick Norton and Dave Randolph acting completely normal with these "discoveries."

The only question I have now is in regards to Flight of the Phoenix.

Should we assume that Pat's glowing recommendation for the 60's version was also an April Fool's prank?

[lordlundar]

Meh, I'm not gonna kill ya for this. I can take a joke and this one was a great one.

You better hope Serafina can as well, because if she can't and she finds out, she's gonna clobber you.:D

[mixedspleens]

Heh, While I admit I didn't think of april fools till you said it: I noticed something was odd about this episode, there was something in your voices, and I found it odd that all three projects were much shorter on the How this works bit.

But you got me, well played!

Also, Hi everyone!

[murphy1d]

Oh, how you have betrayed my trust you evil, evil wizards.

Yes, Yes I bought the Mentos. I have no chem background, so that was easy.
Yes, Yes I bought the LED trick. But I knew an explanation was to be found.
Yes, Yes I bought the Right Guard. But I wondered how much it gunked the engine.

You will have to work hard, (Hard I Tell You!) to win back my trust.

But at the same time, pretty fikin funny!

[cjfpgh]

Not cool... I had (notice the past tense) a certain amount of trust and respect Systm and the other Revision3 shows. :mad: Not funny...

[kilroyperrywinkle]

Muhahahhahaha.....

Awesome. But I kind do want a real system now...

[samureye]

Not cool... I had (notice the past tense) a certain amount of trust and respect Systm and the other Revision3 shows. :mad: Not funny...

No sense of humor? Sorry to hear.

[tritium]

bad form. If your show is not released on apr. 1, you dont get to do an april fools episode.

SHAME ON YOU!

[Edit]
And shame on revision 3 in general. Its not April Fools Season, its April Fools Day. Get it right or dont do it at all.

[lordbyron]

Wow some people took this WAY to personal!!!

[vistal]

Patrick: Sounds very cool but ya have to wonder what the extra chamicals are doing to the intake manafold . I would seriously keep a eye on that. I was like WOW thats a awsome rig. Have you tryed to find butane refils they do sell them almost the same size as the rightguard can and then you wouldnt have to worry about those extra chemicals .
As far as the Hydro boosters are concerned i would look at this site
http://www.smacksboosters.110mb.com/
This guys 1 of the best and watc his you tube Smack University videos
He is the creator of the booster its called SMACK .Simple to build and install.
Thanks For doing what all you old school tech tv guys are doing Im impressed .

[darkknight89]

Some apparently have no sense of humor.

That was pretty darn good guys. You definitely had me going.

[pedepy]

one word: LOL

just f'in epic !

You guys totally had me on the mentos !! I was never gonna have mountain dew again in my life !!!!!!

Let's hope no one tonight decided to skip the credits and is trying to hook up aerosol cans to motorcycle engines ... :D

Based on that now we got a mentos based eco friendly car in the making .. who'd a thought ...... fresh and full of LIGHT (perpetual light, that is)

oh btw - i like the backdrop, dunno if you guys are planning on using it as your 'standard' decor when not in the workshop.

[pedepy]

As much as I'd like to say the 'perpetual energy' thing tipped me off, I can't. Y'all did an excelent job of pulling off this prank, I was sitting on the edge of my seat ready to go and get some Mentos and Mountain Dew after I was done watching.



same here .. and i second the perpetual energy comment - in that you guys seemed to be making a point that this was not actually a perpetual motion machine but an 'attempt' at it.

in a way i thought you guys just had created some kinda 'zero resistance' loop between the nes gun, it's sensor and the LED. Liked the Tesla reference. God knows Tesla was working on some crazy sh*t himself too. (hint: tesla == show ideas ??)

come to think of it, something tells me mentos DO emit some kinda radiation when you put 'em in dew. this one just makes sense..

:)

Hey do you realize that this project was an April fools joke?

[high6]

funny...

except when someone stops at credits. Goes out and buys mentos and mountain dew. Puts the mentos in the bottle and caps it real quick. Then stares at it real CLOSE.

I think you know what happens next...

[m3wse]

actually the best source of cheap energy is plutonium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_capacitor) (try that link :-) ) Oh, and when I watched this (bing in the UK) it was first of april...

:)

it's their new set... check the previous episode (I think)

[oss]

Very funny ;)

[suiken]

I linked the video to a friend of mine who just loves to drink Mountain Dew while in the middle of the episode (so I didn't know the mentos thing was fake), but he said he couldn't watch it until later.

I wonder how he'll feel once he hits the credits.... :)

[joeyrock]

I got bored watching this... far too many other things I could do than some stupid april fools crap. It's obvious from the frickin title.

Gonna remove systm from miro for a few weeks as punishment.

More important things to do? Like posting in a forum?

Get over yourself and find a sense of humor.

[johnoed]

LOL!!! Redundant power supply...hilarious and the gas tank...perfect.

[andyaldrich]

I completely fell for all of the fake inventions...damn you Dave for being so trustworthy in all of the other Systm episodes that I didn't question it when you invented something that scientists can't do with unlimited funds...with a NES Zapper!

On a side note, I reckon the NES Zapper is one of the best looking gadgets from the 80s, although mine was the later orange and grey model, not just grey.

[quadorian]

Hilarious
especially the one with the bike
it would be cool if the geeks in the office pulled pranks before april fools day and tell people they were duped

if you don't mind paying the gas bill

[joeyrock]

Hahahaha April fools... you find yourself a sense of humour buddy.


.................... I rest my case. April fools IS annoying. I'm glad you agree. ;)

[cobberman]

Less than a minute into the video, (noticing that the entire feed was reversed) I knew it was an April Fools Spoof. I was unfortunately disappointed with this episode. I had hoped that it was beyond Systm to try such a thing, maybe Diggnation or Internet Superstar or at least do it as a Tekzilla Daily, but the whole Systm Episode. I look forward to these things every week and now I'll have to wait till they do another real episode... still waiting for updates to the wireless truck?

[qedx]

The Mountain Dew thing was somewhat convincing, but perpetual motion? Come on!

[noclip]

Yeah, you pretty much tipped everybody off to the joke as soon as perpetual motion was mentioned and Patrick didn't burst out laughing.

[murphy1d]

I got bored watching this... far too many other things I could do than some stupid april fools crap. It's obvious from the frickin title.

we'll miss you. Buh Bye.

[dyounkin]

Nice April Fool's prank guys...I bought everything, except the 100mpg motorcycle project, seemed a little far fetched.
But overall, you got me! :D
Oh man, I wish that Mt. Dew + Mentos would work. :eek:

Dylan

[decepticon]

Jeeze...I totally bought that. I don't know why, thinking back it was pretty obvious when Randolph apparantly created perpetual motion, but it just didn't click that it could be a prank.

That was indeed cold. Nice one, guys!

[superunknown]

Darn you, that was very mean.

[tritium]

Im sending Jim Lauderback a bill for the bandwidth for downloading this show...

[joeyrock]

we'll miss you. Buh Bye.

haha.. Looks like I April fooled you even after I said...

Hahahaha April fools... you find yourself a sense of humour buddy.

.................... I rest my case. April fools IS annoying. I'm glad you agree. ;)

My hilarity, and that of an "April fools" prank, knows no bounds. :rolleyes:

Murphy, looks like you've added yourself to the "can't take a joke" list.

[tthaynes7]

Great episode. I got so stressed out with watching the episode, because I though I had mucked up my video components or something. But then I new it would be a April's Fool prank. Lucky I watched it after 12:00 so it doesn't count... I think?

[taulmarill]

This would have been a nice joke, but it's obvious (if you're not braindead) and time consuming. The last shows got worse and worse, but this is a new low...

[dasniper]

I guess I can't speak for everyone out there, but I was definitely LOL toward the end of the episode.

The funniest gag to me was when they showed how Patrick tricked that woman into thinking her cycle was getting 100mpg as Patrick would poor gas in the tank while she was busy at work.I just thought that was awesome how Patrick and the systm team must have spent weeks building up that gag for April fools.

I do have some mechanical know how, and I just wasn't thinking about the diesel and gas engine difference and it was obviously bunk. I just couldn't believe a little arousal can of deodorant would give a 40mpg increase in millage and she would never have to change the deodorant can.

They definitely had me fooled with the mountain dew and mentos.

The whole free energy gag actually had me going, but I was pretty sure that was bunk.

[wagman]

You want to know the sad part of this?:

I watched it today (April 1) and still got fooled.:eek:

Had I watched it any other day, I wouldn't feel so stupid, but I have been on my best guard all day, looking out for just this sort of thing.

DANG!!!!;):cool:

[tokenuser]

I just couldn't believe a little arousal can of deodorant would give a 40mpg increase in millage and she would never have to change the deodorant can.AEROSOL ... arousal is something different entirely.

[kevrowell]

I think it was well done. If they hadn't put effort into it, it would have been one thing. But it was thought out, good production value, and most of all got me to chuckle. And, I admit I kind of bought into the mountain dew bit, for a while....

[tnvwboy]

All the haters need to relax. It was fun and within the spirit of the day. Great work Dave/Pat!

[darknessgp]

I really like their new set. Looks really cool, now we just need an update intro to match it.

[pazaq]

I didn't fall for this at all. I actually read the title and said okay it's an april fools joke. I wonder what exactly they are going to say/do.

Good try tho.

[engineer]

Why Systm... Why!

[lars5]

i ate it up, but the led thing had me scratching my head because it didnt make sense to me how it would work if there was no infrared from the led for the gun to receive.

really disappointed the mentos thing isnt real :(

[cutter_x]

Brilliant.
I almost went out to get Mentos and Mountain Dew for an emergency car kit.

[coreyds]

Mt Dew + Mentos = Dude, I'm cheesing my F'ing brains out right now!

[nextgenxbox]

LOL. Man you guys got me good! I'm not that mad though since I'm a science noob and the way you guys explained things seemed like it would work haha. -- I'd be more angry that I got had if I was a science person. Hehe.

Anyways, good job guys! - If only that Mentos thing worked. That'd be sweet!!!

[nextgenxbox]

All the haters need to relax. It was fun and within the spirit of the day. Great work Dave/Pat!

They're just mad that they got had. I fell for it to but that's what April Fool's Day is all about. Fun! If you can't appreciate a good joke then something is wrong with you... :)

So yeah, relax, people!

[kevincollateral]

dammit. they got me.

i was confused..cause i was only half watching the ending..then they said april fools we will definitely be back next week..

so im like..wait what..did they say the show is over or something...went back...didnt see them end the show with anything...and came here to see they meant the whole show.

guess i should pay attention to the show next time. well done.

[nextgenxbox]

Haha I thought the same thing! Then the video continued and they showed how they did the tricks... hehe.

[samureye]

AEROSOL ... arousal is something different entirely.

AHAHAHA! Wow.

[lordbyron]

Im sending Jim Lauderback a bill for the bandwidth for downloading this show...

Sounds like you need a new provider if you get charged for DLing

[boatlandon]

Mountain Dew - 1.29
Mentos - .95
Feeling like a dumb ass - Priceless
Guess i will watch the whole show start to finish next time.

[md2389]

You guys are BASTARDS! :D I fell for the Mt Dew hook, line, and sinker. :p The bit with the zapper was rather obvious to someone thats an electronics nut with a fair knowledge of physics. (Plus, I watch Mythbusters. :D) However, you guys should've done a little better work on the right guard one, because the hose didn't go anywhere. ;)

[darknessgp]

Like I said before, I like the new set. As for the episode, I instantly knew it was an April Fool's Day thing when they talking about Mt. Dew + Mentos = light. I'm curios at to how you guys put made the light effect? Was it an led + battery in the Dew?

[serafina]

I'm curios at to how you guys put made the light effect? Was it an led + battery in the Dew?

As I said before, Patrick's just holding a flashlight against the bottle. That's why the label's all torn off - so the light shines through better.

[firestonex]

Damn! Had me all the way! I heard about the Dew and Mentos thing before so I thought it was possible. I didn't know that it wasn't. I mean I could see it happening. It would just be some chemical reactions like lighting bugs have. The free energy thing I was a little sketical about. I though that they really believed that they had created it, but someone would have a scientific explainations why it worked and why it wouldn't work on a large scale. As for the motor cycle thing, I know that there are full boosters you can add to cars so It would seem reasonable to rig some sort of machine. I mean, if you added just a few drops of some other fuel to your gas, then surely it wouldn't screw anything up, wail at the same time still give you more fuel. It all seemed theoredically possible. Great joke guys. To bad I didn't watch it til April 2nd. But, thanks, you really had me. I wondor how many wikipedia pages were edited for april fools?:rolleyes:

[charlas]

Good show, bit of a give away with the perpetual energy, but hey.

At least in the UK we don't have Mountain Dew (or mentos very often for that matter) so couldn't make a mess of my desk trying that one out.

Also not all Diesel engines are 2 stroke, in fact in Europe where 60% of new cars are diesel all of them are 4 stroke, can't remember the last time I saw a 2 stroke diesel to be honest.

[tdearborn]

Like others have posted, you completely had me on this show. I figured someone would explain away the perpetual energy one, but I though that was just because we were missing something. I didn't even suspect it was a hoax. It helped that the show date was March 31.

Ironically, I avoided Digg and Slashdot all day on April 1 for this very reason, but didn't suspect this episode of Systm at all.

[pdg45acp]

:(

My wife and I watched it.. and I sat there and explained to her how the perpetual motion electricity thing might work.. I told her that I thought the
butane boost on the motorcycle was pure genius.. and I told her that you guys were the "Mr Wizards" of the 21st century..


About an hour later.. after she was off doing something else.. it dawned on me that this was the April 1st show.. :eek:

Now what do I do..??.. :confused:

Edited to add.. she just told me she was sleeping through it.. whew..

[gdrumm]

Very nicely done. I made it the whole day without getting scammed, then here I go, two days later, and I get had by a web TV show! Anyway, I forwarded the episode on to all my friends. I figure, if I got had a couple of days after April Fool's, they would too. ;)

I was into it and then BAM it hit me.

Diesel engines are 2 stroke and motorcycles are 4! And GAS powered!

Thanks for the laugh!


A lot of older motorcycles were two strokers, but they are hard to find today because of emission standards. My old dirt bike I had years ago was that way.

[computoman]

Patrick: Sounds very cool but ya have to wonder what the extra chamicals are doing to the intake manafold . I would seriously keep a eye on that. I was like WOW thats a awsome rig. Have you tryed to find butane refils they do sell them almost the same size as the rightguard can and then you wouldnt have to worry about those extra chemicals .
As far as the Hydro boosters are concerned i would look at this site

Thanks For doing what all you old school tech tv guys are doing Im impressed .

Before catalytic converters, backyard ( shadetree) mechanics would drop a mist of water down the carburetor to help knock the carbon in an engine. Sure made things run better.

[darknessgp]

http://www.snopes.com/photos/food/mountaindew.asp

umm? Why did you quote me and link that? I said I've seen it a lot before and know it's fake.

[torx]

i just watched this episode today (well after april fools)

i bought the april fools joke HOOK LINE AND SINKER!!
didnt really realize it until near the end when i started putting 2 and 2 together, then you guys popped up with "april fools"

awesome guys, you two kept your composures really good.

[zboy417]

Wow...I was fooled!!!!
Bummer...that would be so cool if it was true!

[jglen490]

Yep, and Patrick and David would be so rich if the LED trick were real. The oil companies would jump all over each other to hide that one!!

[drandolph]

Yep, and Patrick and David would be so rich if the LED trick were real. The oil companies would jump all over each other to hide that one!!

Or maybe the oil companies secretly used big hollywood effects and hacked the Rev3 servers to playback a fake April fools addition to the end just to cover up the fact thats it works. :D

[jmbrown03]

Or maybe the oil companies secretly used big hollywood effects and hacked the Rev3 servers to playback a fake April fools addition to the end just to cover up the fact thats it works. :D

Or maybe the government sent a message on this board to say that the oil companies added the end to the show to hide the fact that this is possible...but that the oil companies didn't want us to find out....I think i just got lost in the 4th dimension,some were east of Route 40

[c_strac]

You got me! I just wish I would have waited till the end of the show before sending the link to my engineering buddies after seeing Dave Randolph's lightgun project. I hope my physics professor has a sense of humor :)

[m3wse]

great episode... I didn't realise it was an april fools until I decided to check the PDF while watching it... I was really interested in seeing how the free energy worked. I thought it took a while to load what I thought was gonna be one page of text and diagrams, instead I ended up with that image... you had me going until then...

[wxjunkie]

bad form. If your show is not released on apr. 1, you dont get to do an april fools episode.

SHAME ON YOU!

[Edit]
And shame on revision 3 in general. Its not April Fools Season, its April Fools Day. Get it right or dont do it at all.

Yeah it's hard to play a joke on a specific day when you are a weekly show.

[masherscf]

I know this was an April fools day episode. But, It was hard to take it seriously when Dave botched the percent change calculations.

[darknessgp]

Yeah it's hard to play a joke on a specific day when you are a weekly show.

I think his point was, if you aren't coming on that day then don't do ANY jokes. Though, they always could have done the jokes and then had a real project.

[chimerahitman]

This is my first post, and I wanted to ask Patrick Norton and Dave Randolph if they increased the amount of 'nintendo guns' would it mean that you also get more power for the LED to shine up more?

Think about it. You have a single light source, but have multiple power production, therefore a brighter LED.

It is worth the try.

But then again... it just sucks as an april fools joke T_T

[rocketman121]

Wow, it pays to watch the entire episode.

Just tried the Mountain Dew trick tonight. Very bummed when nothing happened. Even told my friends it 'worked' just because I saw someone do it on the internet. I immediatly got on the forums and figured out that I'm a sucker.

I watched the beginning of the show back when it was released. Needless to say, I've been swamped with school work and just now got around to trying it. Next time ill be watching till the end...

[ing]

Thanks for the mentos thing guys....! Really, my wife overheard me listening to my geek stuff and immediately tried this. Well, my laptop is sticky and her new HP one is dead and I'm probably going to get ants on the brand new porch... thanks for spending my next paycheck.:mad:

Not cool.

It's not SYSTM's fault you/your wife are clumsy. ;)

[md2389]

Though there was that one time when I was much younger, that I was throwing a foam basketball back and forth with my dad, and I accidentally nailed a can of cherry coke dead on....and it promptly dumped all over the telephone. :P That phone never once worked right since then! http://www.bakercountyonline.com/md-2389/icon_laugh.gif

[ejking]

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the mountain dew wasnt lighting up (i happened to have some mountain dew and mentos sitting in front of me while watching) until i reached the end of the episode.

Lol anyway good show.... had me right up to the credits when ya yelled APRIL FOOLS!

[killijula]

Hi I'm looking for the PDF on the circuit. I want to try it and see if it is actually working.
I'm good in electronics and is currently working on a few free energy circuits like the bedini circuit. If poseble please send the PDF to me on my email address - fernando.debuys@gmail.com thank you. For the Mentos creating light Cool!!!

I'm good in electronics and is currently working on a few free energy circuits like the bedini circuit. If poseble please send the PDF to me on my email address - fernando.debuys@gmail.com thank you. For the Mentos creating light Cool!!!
Good luck with that.

This was an episode that is over three years old ... and was released as an APRIL FOOLS JOKE.

And if you believe the scam that is Bedini ... I suggest you invest all your money in the fabled Bedini Circuit/Motor. Better yet, send me all your money, and I'll build you one. I guarantee that what I build you will generate as much free energy as the Bedini model.
