This is a video of thereminist Carolina Eyck performing a very spirited rendition of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s ‘Flight Of The Bumblebee’ on her instrument. The electronic sound of the theremin actually works surprisingly well with the piece, and I closed my eyes and could almost see the bumblebee flying. Then opened

This is a video of the folks at Youtube channel The Hackensmith testing the world’s first retractable plasma lightsaber, the construction of which they featured in a build video last week (included below). The lightsaber burns at around 4,000-degrees Fahrenheit (2,200-Celsius), is powered by a mix of liquid propane and

This is the ‘Jetpack Pick Me Up Inflatable Costume’ created by Morph-Costumes and available on Amazon for $60. You know as a kid I figured by Halloween 2020 we’d be trick-or-treating with ACTUAL jetpacks on, blasting off from door to door to visit as many houses as possible while avoiding

This is a video of one-man band, unconvincing unicorn and Tik Tok user aaronpaulsen1 performing all the instrumentation for the intro of Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing In The Name Of’. I was skeptical at first, but he did a good job. As good a job as I could have

This is a video of Japan’s 59-foot tall Gundam robot during a movement test, successfully kneeling as well as walking a few steps. Apparently the footage has been sped up around 4X though, so he’s not exactly going to win any races. Still, I think we can all agree, this
