Because the whole world is a lot of ground to cover in one night, this is a video of Santa’s little helper Robert ‘Crazy Rocketman’ Maddox (previously) demonstrating a new rocket-powered sleigh he designed for the jolly gift-bringer. So, if you were wondering why Santa doesn’t come this year, it’s

This is a video of engineer and tinkerer JBV Creative constructing ‘The Corporate Machine’, a piece of kinetic wall art for his apartment that represents the tireless churning of big business. Using 99% 3D-printed parts, the machine launches ping-pong balls and catches them, repeating the process indefinitely until a power
