This is a video demonstration of a clever stunt rig used to simulate lower gravity on a person in space. The rig uses a counterweighted rocking arm attached to a stuntperson via a 360-degree rotating belt so they can do flips and all kind of spacey maneuvers. That’s cool. Even
This is a video highlighting the work of foley artists and the incredible difficulty in making just the right footstep sound effects (considered one of the hardest to duplicate) for television and movies.

Built by Youtuber Wiz’s Woodwork, this mirrored coffee table gives the illusion of an endless mineshaft below, constructed using a cleverly designed infinity mirror. Pretty cool. Even cooler? An infinity gauntlet. And if I had one you better believe I’d be winning Powerball tonight. Plus probably try keeping the beat
These are several videos of a sugar glider named Titan Bool leaping from heights to glide and land on his owner’s hand. For those of you unfamiliar, sugar gliders are small gliding marsupials native to Australia, and can glide like flying squirrels (which are rodents and not related, but an
