Fun with Gas – What happens with your voice if you inhale a gas lighter or denser than air?

In this video from MythBusters, you can see what happens if you inhale a gas lighter than air (in this case Helium) or if, on the other hand, you inhale a gas denser than air (in this case Sulfur Hexafluoride). In the first case, your voice turns into a chipmunk’s and in the other one into Satan’s!

Very funny and interesting :)

Thanks Fepe!

What happens if you set a lighter on fire? Does it explode?

In these two videos, you’ll see a metal container which had a lighter on the bottom covered by lots of papers (to slow down the fire from reaching the lighter).

You’ll see what happens…

Everything was made on controlled conditions with a fire extinguisher near (just in case).

First attempt

Watch the second attempt! (Much better)
