Fluorescent Light Makes Budgies Attract Each Other | ExperiMental | Curious?: Science & Engineering

Have you ever wondered why your white shirt shines bright in a club? It has something to do with detergent companies. Budgies use similar techniques but for their reasons.

ExperiMental - Season 1 Episode 15: Want to attract a mate? Take a cue from budgies and turn on the fluorescence. It seems that glowing under UV light proves your worthiness as a potential mate. We find the right shoes to walk on water – there’s a reason you can’t buy them in a store!

We’ll also show you a pen that’s straight out of a 007-Bond movie. It keeps all that’s good about a pen while bringing it into the digital world. We amuse ourselves and build an old fashioned gramophone. Ah, music to my ears! We challenge the urban legend that ducks don’t have an echo when they quack. We also test the strength of a hen’s egg and show you how to put one in a bottle - it’s pretty neat.

Far away from someone you love? Find out how you can enjoy a drink together.

ExperiMental travels the world in search of the craziest experiments ever performed and challenges the scientists responsible to repeat their bizarre experiments in front of the cameras.

In each episode, we recreate these wacky experiments. They might seem silly but believe it or not many of them have played an important role in genuine scientific research and some of them have ultimately led to surprising scientific breakthroughs or real-world applications. But it's not just the science of today we’ll be turning our beady eye upon – we’ll also be running our own Test Department answering important questions like “why does toast always fall butter side up?” or “can you play the bagpipes using helium rather than air?”.

Amusing, irreverent and always entertaining, ExperiMental tackles every imaginable branch of science in a populist way. It’s hard science made fun through oddball experiments.
