With the addition of “The Caterpillar” attachment, Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest kinetic walking sculptures can now tow a human along the beach. How about that!

This is a short video from Shandong, China during the recent Qingdao International Beer Festival of twin Raidens dancing atop giant Tesla coils and sharing some lightning between them. Whatever happened to not crossing the streams? I have to admit though, this is the exact sort of entertainment I would
Because dream it and you can kinda sorta make it happen occasionally, this is a video of mad inventor/engineer Allen Pan (previously) building two different versions of automatic trick-performing skateboards. The first is powered by drone rotors and isn’t great (note: he should revisit this build for making a hoverboard),
