February 2008 Highlights Cornstarch Science Science of Cleaning Products Human Conductor Human Conductor Zap! Clock! Bang! Cornstarch Water Walk Steve Spangler packed up his science demonstrations and returned to the Ellen DeGeneres show on February 13, 2008 for his third appearance. Ellen invited Steve to stay for two segments. First, Steve demonstrated how to turn 120 volts of electricity from the wall outlet into 50,000 volts of static electricity. Steve caused the electricity to safely travel across Ellen's body (on her skin) and light a fluorescent light bulb! Steve was honored to share a demonstration popularized by his father many years ago called Edge of Darkness. Ellen mixed two colorless liquids and nothing apparently happened - and then the liquid instantly turned black! The chemical reaction produced a beaker filled with iodine - read about a cool science experiment you can try at home. Steve put a bang into the show by safely igniting bubbles filled with hydrogen and oxygen in her hands.

Using a cement mixer, large tank and a whole lot of cornstarch, they ended the second segment with a member of the audience walking on a 250 gallon mixture of cornstarch and water (Cornstarch Water Walk).
