Because some people never give up on their childhood dreams (mine are so far gone I can’t even remember what they were), this is a video of engineer James Bruton (previously) building a rideable Transformer. In drivable car form, it’s about the size of a Power Wheels for tweens, and

Because there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO besides a comfortable sleeping partner, this is a video of Youtuber Dr. Engine constructing and demonstrating a rolling mill made from LEGO. The mini-factory can flatten, stamp, and cut shapes out of modeling clay. How about that! Full disclosure: when I started

Using nanolithography, Dr. Kelly Morrison and her team at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England have created the world’s smallest violin, measuring only 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. For reference, the average width of a human hair is about 50 microns. Damn, that’s one small violin! Unfortunately it’s not

In damn that’s huge but still much smaller than the real thing news, this is a video of Youtuber Ramy RC flying an absolutely massive model airplane version of a Boeing 777X. The incredibly realistic replica measures 10 meters (33-feet) long and has tons of features of the actual plane.

This is a video of the custom plasma speakers built by engineer Fabricio H. Franzoli from two CRT television flyback transformers playing the classic Popeye theme. Now those are some sexy speakers. I thought my Yamahas were nice, but they don’t look anything like two robot nipples shooting musical lightning.

Because the biggest downfall of 3D printers is not being able to print a ladder long enough to reach the moon and finally escape earth, this is a video of Youtuber Ivan Miranda modding a treadmill into a 3D printer that allows for infinitely long prints. After running into and

This is a video of Youtuber Marc3DP printing and playing with a selection of the exotic 3D printable fidget toys available for download on the internut (that’s how I pronounce it now at dinner parties). Some of those look pretty fun. Knowing me, they all look like they’ll eventually take

This is a video of Rube Goldberg machinist Joseph of Joseph’s Machines building and testing a real life version of Wallace & Gromit’s breakfast machine from the 1993 movie The Wrong Trousers. Wrong Trousers? Not a problem for me, I haven’t worn anything but sweatpants and athletic shorts for years.
