This is a video highlighting the 130-long garden tunnel grown by horticulturist Steve Mills, which features plums, peaches, apples, pumpkins, and pears growing on all sides and overhead. How about that — just reach in any direction and there’s something to eat! It’s not unlike my desk in that regard.
This is a video of electrical engineer Greg Leyh of Lightning On Demand (same here but mine requires black magic and a ton of mana) blasting watermelons to pieces with currents equivalent to those found in lightning (25,000 – 100,000 amps). Allegedly Greg performed these experiments to test a new
This is a video detailing how cherries are harvested. This is not how I imagined it happening. Based on the price they charge at the supermarket, I assumed each cherry was individually inspected on the tree by a grandma who graduated from fruit college before being hand-picked and kissed for
This is a 4K timelapse video of different foods meeting their hellish ends in a hot oven. The title of the video is ‘PUTTING WEIRD THINGS IN THE OVEN’, but they’re not really weird things, they’re mostly just a bunch of fruits you wouldn’t normally put in an oven in
Hopefully named Johnny 5 Appleseed or its creators completely blew it, this is a video of a robotic apple harvester picking about 30 apples in a minute, using the latest in apple-identifying technology and its six suction-cupped hands to get the job done. That’s cool. For reference, I’ve never actually
Using AI learning, scientists at the University of Tokyo’s ISI Laboratory have successfully taught a pair of robotic arms to peel a banana without tearing your penis off with one hand and vaporizing it with the laser blaster in its other. Congratulations? Handling soft fruit is tricky for robots, but
This is a brief video of an automated lemon-stickering machine (I know it was on my Christmas list) doing its thing. Its thing being applying the stickers to lemons so both you and the cashier can identify them at the supermarket. Oh is that a lemon? Shoot, I meant to
This is a video from Youtube channel DragTimes of a man pinning a banana to the passenger seat of his Tesla Model S Plaid as he guns it, the banana staying put through the whole quarter mile at a top force of around 1.4G’s until the car reaches its top
