This is a video of Action Lab’s James Orgill dropping a steel ball and ping-pong ball on one of the world’s bounciest surfaces to see how long they’ll bounce for. James says the surface has a coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the final to initial relative velocity between two

This is another Action Lab Shorts video starring James Orgill, this time firing a Nerf projectile backwards from a moving car traveling forward the same speed forwards (around 55MPH) to see if the bullet will just fall to the ground. The answer? Yes. James also sounds pretty stoked he was

Because you don’t know until you try, these are two videos of the experimental, fun-loving Russian mechanics of Garage 54 welding two identical Lada Rivas together to create an ultra-widebody version, then putting it through its paces.
