This is some footage from an aluminum extrusion line where an overpressure event causes a catastrophic and fiery failure, opening a portal to a demon dimension in the process. I….I think I’ve visited that dimension before. Not a good time. Thankfully (and amazingly), nobody was injured in the incident, which
This is some footage (that leaves something to be desired, namely a better view and an ultra-highspeed camera) of the US Air Force testing a rocket sled traveling at 6,400ft/sec. For reference, a mile is 5,280-feet, so this thing is doing 6,599MPH! That’s Mach 8.6. Holy shit! You know it’s
Because how it’s made is often a fascinating process (especially love), this is a video from a factory where a GWIN TECH blow-molding machine makes an entire boat from a solid piece of plastic. The blow-molding process involves heating a bladder of plastic so it’s nice and malleable, then pressing
These are a couple videos from industrial machine manufacturer TEXTOR of two of their robotic slicing machines designed for cutting meat and cheese for pre-packaged sale. They cut so fast you can’t even see it happen — there’s just a block of meat or cheese on one side of the
Presumably attempting to recreate Swan Lake, this is a video of a small army of lit drones gracefully dancing over the waters of a mountain lake, set to piano rendition of ‘O Holy Night’. As much as I do hate almost all robotic technology, I’ll admit this was very well
This is another size comparison visualization by MetaBallStudio (previously), this time comparing the sizes of various mechas from popular culture. What’s your favorite? Mine was the biggest one, because bigger is better. Take my penis for instance — best in the galaxy. “Did you even watch the video?” I don’t
This is a video demonstration and build discussion of the LEGO Flip Walker constructed by LEGO fanatic JK Brickworks after being inspired by a rare 1980’s Bandai model that moved using the same technique. Pretty neat. I wish I was clever enough to design stuff like this, but as it
This is a timelapse video documenting the manufacture of a Porsche 911 GT3 from Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur division. The car takes two days to build, with more than 1,500 employees involved with fitting the vehicle with all its components. The Porsche GT3 starts at $161,100, although a custom paint color
