The much-anticipated season 7 of Outrageous Acts Of Science kicks off with episode 1 titled "Power Hungry," where viewers are once again taken on a thrilling ride through the world of science. This episode promises to be an in-depth examination of experiments that push scientific boundaries and go against the norm.

The show's host, astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi, takes the viewers through a series of experiments that challenge the limitations of the known world. Whether it's the limits of food or the power of technology, each experiment is carried out to yield fascinating results.

The initial experiment sets the stage for the rest of the episode as hosts demonstrate how a simple chemical reaction involving aluminum and water can produce a reaction powerful enough to run a miniature engine. From there, the show delves into human-powered machines that have been harnessed to help those in need. The audience gets a glimpse into the life of an amputee who uses a custom-built bike to get around and the technology behind it.

Next, the show explores the limits of human endurance as experts test the limits of how much weight a human can pull using only their arms. The viewers are on the edge of their seats as weight pulls against the contestant, and they watch to find out if the record will be broken in an epic show of strength.

Moving on to the world of food, the show explores the science behind creating a tiny burger patty using tiny bits of meat. As the chefs go through the process, Oluseyi breaks down the science behind each step of the cooking process to ensure viewers understand how a little bit can go a long way in food science. The chefs put the tiny patties on tiny buns, and the audience gets a firsthand view of how small the process can go.

The show then goes a step further into the science of food as chefs make an edible balloon out of powdered sugar. Viewers get to see the magic of science take place as the chefs pour the sugar into a mold and cook it until it has formed into a perfectly spherical shape. They fill the edible balloon with helium to demonstrate how food science can have a playful side.

Finally, the show takes a look at the power of sound waves to destroy small objects. Oluseyi meets up with a scientist who uses sound waves to explode paint balloons, glass panels, and even an egg. The host explains how sound waves vibrate differently depending on the object they hit and how this can be harnessed for a variety of purposes.

Each experiment in this episode provides an eye-opening view for viewers on what is possible through science and technology. The episode is well-paced, engaging, and leaves the audience with a sense of wonder at what science can achieve if we keep pushing the limits. By the end of the episode, viewers will be hyped for a new season and counting down the days until the next episode of Outrageous Acts of Science.
