0:00:23 > 0:00:25I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I need this sandwich.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I need the energy for looking at the inventions.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31And it's going to be lovely and delicious.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Oh, yum, yum, yum, lovely sandwich.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Right, what have you done with it? How did you do that?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- No, no, no, no, no!- Smoke?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Mirrors? Trapdoor or something?- No!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- I want my sandwich!- I didn't do it!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46SQUEAKING Oh! Oh!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Aargh! That was a mouse.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53That was a mouse, we've got vermin. Look, we've got mice.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56They've eaten my sandwich. Oh, no, cake.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Ah, caka!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Aargh!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00OH-H!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Aargh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06There are about 5 million trillion mice in there as well!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09OUCHO LAUGHS And they've eaten all the cake!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Cakas?- Yes.- Nos!- Yes, it's not so funny now, is it?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's have a look at the inventions.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19There's bound to be something to scare mice... This could be a goer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The High Hydra from Joe in Manchester.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25It's a snake-headed vehicle with a chair that raises up
0:01:25 > 0:01:27and it shoots jelly out of its tail.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Mmm, jellog!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Yeah, that should sort out our mouse infestation, shouldn't it?- De.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Right! To Mousechester!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I mean Manchester.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Trust us to choose a boy who loves Peter Pan.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- You do look lovely as a fairy. - I look lovely as a fairy?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Actually, you're not the first person to say that. When I was a child...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Aargh!- Hi, Ed.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Hi, Oucho. Ed, you scream like a girl.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59No, no, I do not. What's that? What's that?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Ah, you've found my toy snake.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Why are you dressed as the Christmas fairy?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06No, I'm dressed as Tinkerbell and he's Peter Pan
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- in your favourite book.- My favourite book's Harry Potter.- Ha-ha-ha!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- You just wanted to see me dressed as a fairy, didn't you?!- Di!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, hilarious. Oh yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Can we come in? - Yeah, sure, follow me.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- You first.- Ow!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22HE BLOWS HIS NOSE LOUDLY
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So, Joe, we are here to make your High Hydra,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28your mouse-scaring machine.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I mean your snake-headed lifting machine.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- But Ed, you're scared of snakes.- Me?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36No, no, no. No, no. I'm fearless.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Manly and fearless. Anyway, let's find out about your invention.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Stick that on, will you?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47OK, tell me why you want to invent the High Hydra?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57I want to invent the High Hydra, a four-headed snake with a chairlift
0:02:57 > 0:03:02and a jelly squirter so I can spy on my friends and play tricks on them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07In each snake head there is a rope, a padlock, some lemonade
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and a pair of binoculars.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I can use the High Hydra to lift myself up
0:03:13 > 0:03:18so I can use the binoculars to spy on my friends.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Then I can play a trick on them with the rope
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and squirt them with the jelly cannon.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26OK. Right. I've written all that down.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28One other question, very important.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31We have to ask everybody. Do you have any cake?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yes, sure, I gave it to Oucho.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Oh, give us some. HE SPEAKS CACTINIAN

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Done it!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45You've written all 750 flyers, have you?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Di.- Good.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Someone out there must have some old toy snakes they don't need.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OUCHO SPEAKS CACTINIAN
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh, you're exhausted, are you? Yeah, well, you've had your cake.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01The sooner we build this High Hydra,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03the sooner we can get rid of the mice.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06All we need to do is find out how to build a lifting machine
0:04:06 > 0:04:09and get hold of some giant snakeheads.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Luckily, I am wearing my thinking slippers.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14OUCHO LAUGHS
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Mink! Mink!- They're not pink, they are cherry blossom.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Mink!- I'm just here to make you laugh, aren't I?- Di.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Well, these slippers are helping me to come up with some great ideas.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28When we hand out the fliers,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31we can ask who knows how to build a lifting machine.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Can you build a lifting machine?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Do you know how to build a lifting machine?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- How would you build a lifting machine to lift things up?- What do you mean?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41- What?- To lift things up.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43How would you build it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- How would I build it?- By blocks.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50On two pieces of wood with a...with a winder.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Blocks? What would you do with them? - Stack them up.- Stack up some blocks?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I'd pick them up. - You'd pick them up?- Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00If you've got the parts, you can build it. You need the parts.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01The parts?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04No idea.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Not the most helpful suggestion, but thanks anyway.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I'll get exhausted if I do that.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Thanks anyway. Bye.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Oh! There's Marcel Le Shush, the famous mime artist.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm going to go and ask him.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Hi, Marcel, we're trying to build this machine that can lift up a boy.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Do you know anything about raising heavy things?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ah, great.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I need that?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30What is it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Er, it's a space hopper.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Oh, no, it's a dog. Just tell me in words! I know you can speak!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40It's not a ramp, is it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That looked nothing like a ramp.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47If I push something up a ramp, it's easier than raising it straight up?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Why is that?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Because the ramp has arms.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Because the ramp does Russian dancing?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, the ramp is longer than it is high,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02so it needs less force to lift something. Oh, right, I get it!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You see, if I raise something straight up,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I need a lot of force and I need to be very strong.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10But if I had a ramp, because it's longer,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13the force I'd need is spread over a bigger distance,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15so although I need to push it for longer,
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I wouldn't need so much strength.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Thanks, Marcel.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Although it would have been quicker if you'd just told me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yeah, OK. Bye then.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31OUCHO ASKS A QUESTION IN CACTINIAN
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The reason we are at my granny's house is because my granny
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- has a chair on a ramp which is exactly what we need.- Oh!
0:06:43 > 0:06:44OUCHO SPEAKS CACTINIAN
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Nah, granny doesn't need this.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49She only uses it to carry her body building weights up to the bedroom.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Isn't that right, Granny?
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Then look no further than my Billy Drillbit's Serious Jacklifts.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And remember my motto, cowboys.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Doing it without Billy is just darn silly!
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Come on, let's start building this High Hydra.- Ah, di.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Hi, Ed.- Joe, I think that's a cake in your hands, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Oh, brilliant. It's a chocolate one as well, I love it. Give it here.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Oh, it smells divine.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I think I have got my cake-eating fork on me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I always carry my special cake-eating fork in my toolbox.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yes, cake me up!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38SQUEAKING
0:07:38 > 0:07:40No!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42NO!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oh, I hate mice!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Ed, don't worry, my dad will make another for you.- Thanks, thanks.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I was having such a good day as well, because we finished your High Hydra.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Did you? - Yeah, do you want to see it?- Yeah!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- I said, do you want to see it?- Yes! - I said do you want to see it, Joe?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Ed, just let me see it!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah, because it is amazing.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Look at this!- Ta-daaa!
0:08:03 > 0:08:04That's it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06What do you mean, "That's it"?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10This is it, yes, and it's pretty good. You wanted a chairlift.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yeah, but it's a granny's chairlift.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It's not. It's definitely not that. It's carpeted as well.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I didn't want carpet. And what about the snakes?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yes, these are the lovely snakes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Hello, I'm Sydney the Snake!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28For a start they're socks, and then they smell. They stink.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32OK, they are socks, but they're my socks, so don't be so rude.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yeah, but I don't see any caterpillar tracks.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Caterpillar tracks are quite expensive.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42There is a credit crunch, you know. I have got some wheels, though.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45These will be great. Just lift that up.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Ed, calm down, calm down!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35It's a Burmese python. It's not venomous, it constricts its prey.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Oh, Ed... Bill Oddie!
0:09:37 > 0:09:42It's not Bill Oddie. It's Steve Backshall, the wildlife guy off CBBC.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Ed, is this your flyer?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Er, No. Yes. No, yes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Why?- Well, it says here, "Cakes given for giant snakes".
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I've got three giant snakes for you, so where's my cakes?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We didn't want real snakes.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It says giant snakes wanted.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And a fully grown Burmese python
0:10:00 > 0:10:02can get to be as long as five ten-year-old boys.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Come on! Where's me cakes? - Well, you've only got one snake.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- The other two are off hunting. - They've escaped?!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Well, when they get hungry they go off and look for food.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15That's why they're deadly.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Lift me up into this tree, please! - Don't be ridiculous.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24It would take an animal as powerful as a leopard to drag you up there.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I suppose I could phone that cowboy builder that my gran likes.- do.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37OK, we've got a plan. You, find the Billy Drillbit screwdriver
0:11:37 > 0:11:38that has got his phone number on it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I think it's in the back of the van. You, get some cake.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42OK.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Me, find out about lifting machines.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Oh, all right, then.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yee-ha! Well, Howdy partner!
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Billy Drillbit here, the fastest cowboy builder in the West.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Hello, Billy. It's Ed Petrie. We wondered if you might be to help us.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06We want to find out about lifting things up and we saw your advert.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Lifting things up, you say? Well, you're right, partner.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I'm your cowboy.- Oh, great.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16I was starting to wonder if the only person who could help was Jack Lift
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- and I can't find him anywhere.- Jack Lift? Of course you can't find him,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22you lily-livered, cattle-rustling coward.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- How do you know I'm lily-livered? - Jack Lift ain't no cowboy.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29If you want a lift something heavy, you need to GET a jack lift.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31They lift heavy things
0:12:31 > 0:12:35with a special lifting screw called a lead screw.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Wait, wait, wait. How can a screw lift things up? Doesn't it just turn?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41You are as dumb as cattle, cowboy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44But since I'm in a good mood, I'm going to tell you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- You know a ramp, like one that cattle goes up?- Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Well, a screw is just a ramp that goes round and round.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54So a screw is like a ramp?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Well, of course it is, boy.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Look at a screw closely and you will see a ramp going round and round
0:13:00 > 0:13:03like a Mustang in a rodeo ring.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Oh, yeah, I see.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08A screw allows you to move heavy things easier
0:13:08 > 0:13:10by turning them round the ramp on the screw.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14So a jack lift has a screw in it, to make it move and able to lift things?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So where do I get one?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Got a heavy load to move?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21All the rest of the boys out driving cattle?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Ah, mink cakas.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24We're supposed to be getting on with the High Hydra.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Oh, we were just a bit hungry.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Is that a cake?- Yeah!
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, at last! Cake!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Aaargh, mice!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Ah! Go away!
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Go away, you disgusting things.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Sorry, Ed.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's all right, I just need a moment to collect myself.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Come on, pull yourself together.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- We're meant to be building the High Hydra.- Yes, yes, you're right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Let's forget all about mice and feet that look like cakes.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Let's get on with the reason we're supposed to be here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So what do you think of the High Hydra now, Joe?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well, it's OK, but it looks a bit old.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18It looks a bit old. Why does it look a bit old?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- That cushion!- Oh, it's '70s retro, I can change it, anyway.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23The cushion is the least of our worries.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think it's looking pretty good.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Hop on. Now this is the bit you are going to like.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32You can get up there and spy on your friends, you see.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Is it actually moving? - Of course it's moving, yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I can get a ruler, Professor, if you're that worried about it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- It's incredibly slow. - You didn't say you wanted it fast.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- In fact, you said you wanted slow and steady.- No, I didn't.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You did, you said slow and steady.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Do you want it to be unsteady?- No.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Unsteady and unsafe?- No.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well, this is a very good speed.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07That's fine.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10All right, all right, it is too slow.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16Are you happy now? How are we going to make it go faster?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'm not sure.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20OK, guys. Thinking hats on.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I don't know what we doing wrong, Joe.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28A jack lift can lift really heavy things and you're not that heavy,

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Maybe it needs a different lead screw.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Yeah, that might work, but what sort?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Bigger, smaller, fatter, thinner?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Oh, thank goodness.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Fake cakes? No, we want real cakes.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Well, we got your jack lift - thanks -
0:20:25 > 0:20:28but we were just wondering how we could make it faster.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Not fast enough for you, huh?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Well, I can help you with that.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You need a lead screw with a different thread.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Thread? Like the stuff you sew with?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40No, you doggone crazy bullfrog,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43the ramp bit on a screw is called the thread.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh...oh right.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48You use different screw threads to raise different weights.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Some screws have longer threads and some have shorter threads
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and they move at different speeds.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Well, how will I know which one moves the fastest?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Well, you have to test them to find out.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03So I suppose what I need is a screw-thread testing machine?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You sure do, partner.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Need to raise a load, but your doggone jack lift is too slow?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Then you need a Billy Drillbit lead-screw testing machine.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It does everything from lifting to testing.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And remember my motto, cowboys.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Doing it without Billy is just darn silly!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Er, great.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Could you deliver that too?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We'll be home all afternoon.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36# Ed and Oucho's excellent inventions. #
0:21:37 > 0:21:40What we're trying to find out is whether the screw
0:21:40 > 0:21:43with the short, medium or long thread lifts the fastest.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45All these cowboys are sitting on lead screws
0:21:45 > 0:21:48that are the same length, but they've got different threads.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50That's the short one.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52That's the medium one.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- And that's the long one.- Oh, yeah. - So you see the ramp's longer.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It's really compact.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01When I operate the jack lift, the cowboys will raise up,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05and you'll know they've reached the top when they hit these hats
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- and gunk comes out.- Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Joe, take the stopwatch and stand in front of the hats.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Oucho, you take the time.- OK.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I am going to crank the handle. Let's find out which is the fastest.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Go!- OK, long one first. This is the long one.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Five seconds.- OK.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Five seconds. OK, medium one now.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32OK, here we go!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- How long was that?- Four seconds.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Joe, are you ready?- Yeah. - OK, short thread now.- Go!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- You all right?- Yeah! - You sure you're all right?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52You look like you've had a bit of an accident. How long?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53How long was it?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- About a second.- One second?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00That's the quickest one, isn't it? So what have we learned, Joe?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02That the screw with the shorter thread can lift faster
0:23:02 > 0:23:04than the screw with the longer thread.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08That's right. So what we need is a big lead screw with a short thread.
