What If You Were 100x Stronger

What if you were 100 times stronger? You could lift an elephant with one hand, carry a car like a bag of shopping and push a stuck van out of the mud without breaking a sweat. At first. Because every lift has a hidden cost, and it isn't tiredness. It's heat. Ten lifts in a row and you'd have a fever. And on the night of the big storm, you have to hold up a falling tree for five whole minutes. In this 3D animated what-if story, Sol becomes the strongest kid on the street and runs into real science: why your muscles work like an engine that wastes three quarters of its fuel as heat, why lifting a car burns only about two bites of a biscuit, how elephants cool down with their giant ears, and why one litre of evaporating water can carry away the heat of 36 car lifts. 0:00 The fridge door 0:20 How 100x strength works 0:44 The best thing ever 1:20 Everything else breaks 1:42 Something strange 2:16 Where the energy goes 3:05 The storm 4:10 Never without 4:18 Your turn If it were possible, what superpower would you want?
