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
In damn that’s huge but still much smaller than the real thing news, this is a video of Youtuber Ramy RC flying an absolutely massive model airplane version of a Boeing 777X. The incredibly realistic replica measures 10 meters (33-feet) long and has tons of features of the actual plane.
Note: Video is a must-watch, totally wild. This is a video of Team Singapore’s winning 4-way free routine at the 5th FAI World Indoor Skydiving Championships in Belgium. Such precision! I bet they’d make an accurate watch. Me? I used to wear a watch for fashion, but– “Fashion is dead.”
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
Because some people were just born to sit in a dark room staring at a computer monitor for countless hours at a time (wait — is that all of us?), this is a video of Eminem’s 2002 banger ‘Lose Yourself’ performed by actors reciting lines in 331 different moves. The
These are a couple videos of Prince Rupert’s Drops being crushed by hydraulic presses (the first actually bends the metal of the press and doesn’t break, in the second video they explode in a supernova of glory). What are Prince Rupert’s Drops and why are they so indestructible? READ AND
This is the worthwhile (read: I would take the time to watch it) music video for OK Go’s ‘Love’, which was filmed as one continuous shot and uses a bunch of industrial robotic arms holding mirrors to create different imagery in fun and innovative ways. Would I have stood in
The Guinness World Record for largest display of carved eggs was recently awarded to Chinese artist Ma Chao for the 1,040 intricately carved eggshells he’s produced. The eggs feature characters from the 1986 television series Journey To The West (adapted from Wu Cheng’en’s 16th-century novel of the same name), and
