Beyond Bionic

S1 E4 Seal

本集简介

Andy Torbet tries to match his skills against some of the most powerful animals in the world. Andy travels to Alaska in his quest to swim like a seal in freezing lake water, under a sheet of ice. His journey begins off the Northumberland coast, diving with grey seals to learn how insulating, fatty blubber gives them unrivalled cold-resistance. Next Andy meets Olympic medallist, Keri-anne Payne, and discovers how cold-water shock affects his body. Then Andy tests out blubber-like insulating technology while being dunked in the Extreme Environments Lab pool at Portsmouth University. Will this chilly challenge see him sink or swim?

Gecko

In this episode Andy is on the east coast of America to try and match one of the best climbers in the animal kingdom. The gecko lizard has incredible climbing abilities thanks to amazing sticky toes pads on its feet that allow it to climb on almost any surface. To match it, the Beyond Bionic team set Andy an impossible challenge to climb a 10-storey glass building using just his hands and feet. Will he be able to track down the tech to help him climb where no human has every climbed before?

Pompeii Worm

Things are about to heat up as Andy takes on the world's most heat-resistant animal. Very little is known about the mysterious Pompeii worm, which lives deep under the Pacific Ocean on hydro thermal vents. These vents pump out boiling water heated by underwater volcanoes, so Andy's challenge is to survive intense heat, just like the worm, in a specially built Beyond Bionic inferno. Will he be able to find the technological tools to withstand temperatures over 500 degrees Celsius?
