The Challenge of Zero Friction! The Battle of the Extreme Bar Slide: Part 1 (2017x3)

Air date: Feb 03, 2017

A National Institute takes part in the program for the first time! The science team is comprised of researchers that develop new materials to support Japan. Facing them is the technical team comprised of skilled workers boasting some of the best engineering techniques in Japan. Their aim is "ultimate sliding"; that is, to reenact the scene in the movies of a glass sliding down a bar. The teams slide heavy coasters weighing 2 kilograms down a special bar 15 meters long! Which team will demonstrate the best low-friction techniques?!
