00:00A regular balloon is stretchy, but that's not really fair.
00:02Okay.
00:03So that's why this one's 8 feet long, 10 inches around, and 45 liters of air.
00:08Here's what we're going to do.
00:09We tie off the end like this.
00:10I want you to breathe into the bag.
00:13How many breaths do you think it's going to take you to blow up the bag?
00:15Hundreds?
00:16Okay, here we go.
00:17All right.
00:18This could be a long, long show.
00:20There's one.
00:21That's good.
00:22How many so far?
00:23No, don't pass out.
00:24How many?
00:25Six.
00:26Look at this.
00:27Here, this is six.
00:28I'm going to say 24 for the entire bag.
00:29If you could do a single breath of air, that would be totally amazing, right?
00:31It would be awesome.
00:32In order to do that, you're going to stand back there so you can see what's going to
00:35happen.
00:36So you head back that way.
00:37All right, watch this.
00:38So now, there's no air in the bag, so the secret is you put your fingers in the bag
00:43like this.
00:44You open up the bag, and then you blow a fast stream of air into the bag, but you've got
00:49to keep your mouth up the bag.
00:50Watch this.
00:51Okay.
00:52Bam.
00:53And that is the single breath of air.
