3DBenchy is a computer model of a small boat designed specifically for benchmark testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. And Youtuber Emily The Engineer decided to try 3D printing one large enough for a person to sit in, and, ideally, function as an actual boat. The final result
This is a video of Youtuber ProjectAir constructing and testing what he believes to be the world’s largest RC rocket plane, a radio controlled balsa glider that gets an initial blast of propulsion from a giant model rocket engine. It works surprisingly well, and the first test flight goes off
Served at Grand Theft Auto IV’s Burger Shot, the Heart Stopper is a 6-pound, 40,000 calorie burger consisting of “7 luke-warm patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, half a jar of mayonnaise, and pickles.” And Youtuber Babish Culinary University decided to recreate the deadly delicacy in real life. Just look at that
This is a video of pastry chef and chocolatier Amaury Guichon (previously) constructing a massive screwdriver and screws entirely out of chocolate. Clearly, he is a master of the medium. Me? I am a master of the XL and, in some brands, 2XL. These chocolate reproductions are getting so good
This is a detailed factory tour of how Cup Noodle style ramen noodle bowls are made. SPOILER: not in a way that makes them any more or less appetizing. This was pretty much exactly what I expected — lots of industrial machinery and conveyor belts moving noodles from one place
This was a fun-to-watch video of Youtuber Brick Technology building different LEGO machines to topple increasingly sturdy LEGO towers. He begins with a ramming car, before upgrading to a battering ram, bashing hammer, ball shooting tank, grappling hook, and, finally, a climber that ascends the tower and shakes it down
In a quest to make an infinity bubble, Youtuber Engineezy constructed a bubble machine that feeds a continuous supply of bubble formula (soap, water, lube, and baking soda) to a car-mounted bubble wand. For the lube, he uses veterinary J-Lube, which has some worthwhile reviews on Amazon. While he fails
This is a fascinating look (at least to me, but I love peeking behind the curtain) at how twister style popsicles are made. For those of you unfamiliar with twister popsicles, I feel sorry for you. I’m eating one right now! “Are you though?” No, I did have two limp
