This is a video of musician Miguel Lawrence performing Korsakov’s iconic ‘Flight Of The Bumblebee’ on a sopranino recorder at a speed that would make even bees proud. Both the fingerwork and breathwork are most impressive. I wouldn’t be able to do that. Honestly, I got winded just typing this.
These are a couple videos highlighting the journey of father/son team Mike and Luke Bell as they attempt to reclaim the world record for fastest quadrocopter drone after their record was snatched from them last year. There’s a lot of interesting discussion about the engineering and testing of the drone,
This is a 3D visualization created by Youtube channel RED SIDE featuring the evolution of the fastest wheeled vehicles from 1898 to present. It’s pretty wild to think there was an electric car that could do 39MPH in 1898, and one that could go 65MPH by 1899. Then electric vehicles
This is a video highlighting the Rubik’s Cube solving robot built by Purdue University undergraduates, which just set the world record for fastest Rubik’s Cube solve with a time of 103 milliseconds (0.103 seconds). That’s faster than a blink. The previous record was 305 milliseconds, which the robot can reliably
This is a sitcom-long video from Hacksmith Industries of the crew attempting to set the world record for fasted speed on a snow sled. Not a snowmobile, but a previously unpowered sled trike that’s been modded with two jet engines and manages to hit 107MPH (beating the previous record of
This is a video of jump roper Cen Xiaolin setting a new world speed record with an astonishing 228 jumps (technically alternate leg skips) in 30 seconds. That’s 7.6 jumps PER SECOND. Cen has been speed jumping for a while, and his record 8 years ago was only 108 jumps,
This is a POV video from fun-loving adult and YouTuber Brutalmenace, who built a Hot Wheels track all around his house, complete with speed boosters so the car zips around as fast as possible. We didn’t have those speed boosters when I was a kid. We just had four pieces
This is a visualization created by Red Side comparing the speed of the fastest manmade vehicles and other objects in different categories (e.g. fastest motorcycle, fastest jet aircraft, fastest space probe). It provides both 1st and 3rd person views, and begins with the fastest vehicles ever driven on Mars, the
