Maybe yours could be next!In this, episode Trace (recording from his childhood home) explores the chemistry and power of the lasagna battery. Then, Julian flies off the handle about helicopters as a gift for himself for his birthday (Happy Birthday, Julian! 🎂)QUESTIONSJulian: "Can a helicopter fly upside down? AND could it land SAFELY upside down on it's rotors?" from GailmarieTrace: "How many lasagna batteries does it take to power a toaster oven?" from Bjorn on Spotify[[ FOLLOW ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP ]] Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-absurd-please-elaborate/id1680094699Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6JOkmJBsVOuODHarxzmotZ?si=bbd7324faa1f4d7dPodlink (pick any other platform): https://pod.link/1680094699Nebula Subscriber?
