The video's host attempts to create a giant, artificial watermelon that mimics the real thing in texture and taste. The host starts by experimenting with gelatin powder, which is soaked in cold water, then mixed with hot water and colored to resemble watermelon. However, simply using gelatin does not replicate the texture of a watermelon. The host then uses a siphon to create a foam-like texture, which is more similar to a watermelon.
To create a mold for the giant watermelon, the host uses fiberglass to create a durable and shapeable material. The host then searches for a suitable object to shape the fiberglass around and finds an egg-shaped fitness ball.
The host applies layers of fiberglass and resin to the ball, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next. However, the process is time-consuming and requires multiple breaks to prevent the resin from overheating.
Once the fiberglass shell is complete, the host prepares to fill it with the gelatin mixture. However, the video ends abruptly, and the host teases that the second part of the video will be released the following day, where they will create a super-powered refrigerator and fill the giant watermelon with the gelatin mixture.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The speaker plans to create a giant watermelon, about the size of a person.
2. The speaker spent almost a week experimenting with different materials to create a watermelon texture.
3. The speaker decided to use gelatin powder to create the watermelon.
4. To create the watermelon texture, the speaker used a blender to mix the gelatin powder with water and air.
5. The speaker discovered that using a siphon to saturate the mixture with bubbles created a more watermelon-like texture.
6. The speaker used a special type of gelatin with a high "gel strength" (270 blooms) to create the watermelon.
7. The speaker created a mold for the watermelon using fiberglass and a special resin.
8. The mold was created by gluing multiple layers of fiberglass and resin onto a large, egg-shaped fitness ball.
9. The speaker applied four layers of fiberglass and resin to the mold.
10. The mold was left to dry for 12 hours before being removed from the fitness ball.
11. The speaker created a hole in the mold to pour in the gelatin mixture.
12. The speaker used a nail file to smooth out the edges of the mold.
13. The speaker needed a large freezer to chill the gelatin mixture, but couldn't find one big enough.
14. The speaker plans to create a super powerful refrigerator in the next part of the video.
15. The speaker will buy a whole ton of watermelons to process and make a giant watermelon.
16. The speaker will reveal the cost of making the giant watermelon in the next part of the video.
