Constructed by HackADay user mircemk using as many 3D printed parts as possible, this self-balancing cube uses an Arduino Nano microcontroller and MPU6050 gyroscope / accelerometer to control 3 motor-driven reaction wheels to keep itself balanced — even standing on one corner on a slope! Me? I can’t stand on

This is a video of a waterfall in Hope, British Columbia that produces perfectly spherical ice balls, which “occurs when ice sheets break into smaller pieces and are repeatedly rounded by the constant pressure of a waterfall.” How about that! I wouldn’t be picking them up and tossing them around

This is a video of Studio Drift’s 1,000 drone light show performing at Burning Man. The drones make a bunch of different moving geometric shapes before ending the show with a giant human face. Trippy. I can only imagine what I would have thought if I’d actually been tripping, but
