That's Absurd Please Elaborate: Lasagna Batteries? Heli(copter), Yeah!

Hi Seeker+ fans! Trace here showcasing my new show "That's Absurd Please Elaborate." Every week, Julian Huguet (DNews/Seeker, Soul Pancake, NVidia) and I look into weird and wacky questions sent in by our audience. Maybe yours could be next!

In this, episode Trace (recording from his childhood home) explores the chemistry and power of the lasagna battery. Then, Julian flies off the handle about helicopters as a gift for himself for his birthday (Happy Birthday, Julian! 🎂)

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Can a helicopter fly upside down? AND could it land SAFELY upside down on it's rotors?" from Gailmarie

Trace: "How many lasagna batteries does it take to power a toaster oven?" from Bjorn on Spotify
