This is a video of LEGO experimenter Brick Technology (previously) pitting LEGO cars against increasingly larger loopty loops. It was a fun watch with surprisingly high production value, and this is the exact sort of experimenting I wish I spent my weekends doing. But nooooo, I spent the entirety of

This is a video of Youtuber Brick Technology (previously) pitting five different LEGO car builds (simple car, square car, jumping car, propeller car, and pole jumper) against increasingly bigger potholes to see which fares the best. It’s a fun watch (especially the jumping car, propeller car, and pole jumper), and

This is a video of LEGO lover and Youtuber Dr. Engine using a single Technic motor to drive increasingly longer LEGO chains, ending with a 3,000 link chain that I was surprised to even see move. Although, FULL DISCLOSURE: I am easy to surprise and often get jump scared if

After performing a modified version the classic rubber hand experiment on octopuses, Japanese researchers Sumire Kawashima and Yuzuru Ikeda at The University of the Ryukyus have suggested octopuses may experience a sense of body ownership similar to humans. In the experiment, a partition and fake tentacle were used to cover

Because VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) is going to be paramount in the near future when earth’s surface is entirely lava, Youtuber Michael Rechtin decided to try constructing two different versions of R/C plane launchers that require no runway or hand launching. First he creates a stomp rocket style launcher,

Because some people refuse to go to sleep at night without having their nagging questions answered (do storks bring the babies or not?!), this is is a video of Youtuber Cal Pal testing which basic 3D shapes are the most aerodynamic using physics vehicle simulator BeamNG.drive. He tops ten go-karts

In a modified version of the Stanford marshmallow experiment (in which children were told they would receive a second marshmallow if they could avoid eating a first for a certain period of time), researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory at the University of Chicago have determined that cuttlefish can pass

Because you don’t know until you try, this is a video of the unorthodox mechanics of Garage 54 building an engine out of 50 cordless drills and using it to power a car. Does it work? Yes. Is it practical? Also yes. Talk about a disruptive technology! The automotive industry
