Crafted by Swiss designers team’by’wellis, this is a video demonstration of a wooden dining table that can expand its width without the use of traditional leaves. That…looks expensive.

Because who hasn’t dreamed of piloting their own AT-AT walker through the side of a neighbor’s house, this is a video of engineer James Bruton constructing his own roughly 7-foot tall rideable AT-AT. It moves at a snail’s pace (even slower than in the movies), but I would still proudly
This is a video of Dutch kinetic artist Theo Jansen and four of his Strandbeests he lashed together to move along the beach as one giant beest, powered by the breeze. Just look at that thing go! Next stop: training it to wave a metal detector. Pirate treasure, here I

Because you don’t know until you try (although you probably already had a pretty good idea), this is a video of maker of things (including poor choices) Allen Pan attempting to build a lawn mower that cuts grass with the power of burning lasers. Apparently Allen was inspired by California’s
