导读:最近美国一小伙向我们展示了在1500加仑可乐中游泳是种什么感觉。
A Californian YouTube star has made a splash with a new take on the classic coke and Mentos stunt.
最近加州一位油土鳖明星又造成了一场轰动，他尝试了经典的可乐+薄荷糖反应。
Taras Maksimuk, from Rocklin, has filmed himself emptying a bucket of the candy into a swimming pool full of Coca-Cola.
拉塔斯来自美国罗克林，他拍下了自己将一整桶薄荷糖倒进一游泳池可口可乐的场景。
The Ukraine native, who goes by the name TechRax on YouTube, said he poured thousands of bottles of coke to fill the pool with 1,500 gallons of pop.
拉塔斯是乌克兰人，他在油土鳖上的账户名字是TechRax。他说他倒了几千瓶可乐来填满这个1500加仑容量的游泳池。
’This is something you wouldn’t even see in the movies,’ he said. ’Imagine just swimming in this. Wow.’
拉塔斯说道：“你甚至在电影里都不会有机会看到这样是场景。想象一下在1500加仑可乐里游泳的感觉。喔噢！”
He went onto empty the bucket of Mentos into the Coca-Cola and stepped back as the liquid began to fizz.
拉塔斯把一整桶薄荷糖全倒进了这池可乐中，后来可乐冒出大量气泡，他不得不后退。
The reaction is caused by a process called nucleation, whereby the carbon dioxide in the soda is attracted to dozens of tiny pores on the surface of the Mentos, causing so much pressure that the soda erupts.
这个现象是由一种被称为“成核现象”的反应造成的，碳酸饮料中的二氧化碳被薄荷糖表面数十个小孔所吸引，产生了巨大的压力，最终造成碳酸饮料喷发出来。
Any carbonated beverage will produce a similar effect, but Diet Coke became the most popular after it was found to produce the best results.
任何碳酸饮料都会产生类似的现象，但是健怡可乐是最好的，因为它能够产生最佳的反应效果。
In 2006, TV show MythBusters concluded that the potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke, in combination with the gelatin and gum arabic ingredients of the Mentos, all contribute to the formation of the foam.
在2006年，电视节目“流言终结者”做出了结论，认为健怡可乐中含有的苯甲酸钾、阿斯巴甜和二氧化碳气体，和薄荷糖中含有的明胶、阿拉伯树胶一起促成了泡沫的形成。
Although some scientists claim it is not a chemical reaction, rather a purely physical one.
但是一些科学家表示说这并不是一个化学反应，而纯粹是物理上的变化。
While the reaction is not as extreme as in other viral clips, it gives the effect of a bubbling Jacuzzi.
尽管拉塔斯的这个反应不像那些极端的例子那么剧烈，但是它仍然有一种按摩浴缸里气泡按摩的感觉。
But he wasn’t finished there.
但是拉塔斯并没有就这样就不玩了。
Maksimuk added two hundred pounds of ice into the pool before encouraging his friend ’Ryan’ to jump in.
拉塔斯加了200磅的冰块在这个池子里，然后怂恿他的朋友“莱安”跳进去。
Taking a running jump, the friend leaped and landed with a splash into the icy coke.
拉塔斯的朋友助跑了一小段，然后跃起跳进了这池冰可乐中，激起了一片水花。
It’s really weird. It feels like I’m in a pool of coke man,’ he said.
他说：“这感觉真怪。好像我在一个可乐池子里一样，兄弟。”
The YouTube star, who has more than 4.5 million subscribers, typically specializes in videos showing him destroying expensive technology.
拉塔斯是油土鳖上的明星，有450多万订阅用户，他的视频内容一般都是展示他败掉昂贵的科技产品。
And true to form, he wasn’t finished until he had trashed his brand new DJI Phantom 4 Camera Drone.
一如既往的，他没有就此停手，拉塔斯把他的新大疆“幻影4”摄像无人机开到了可乐池子里。
Maksimuk filmed himself flying the drone straight into the coke pool, instantly destroying the drone and its camera.
在视频中，拉塔斯直接把他的无人机开进了可乐池子里，无人机和上面的摄像头立刻就被他败掉了。
The video has already been viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube.
在油土鳖上这份视频目前已经被观看了400多万次。
