The first obstacle is digging to find

Because some people refuse to go to sleep at night without having their nagging questions answered (do storks bring the babies or not?!), this is is a video of Youtuber Cal Pal testing which basic 3D shapes are the most aerodynamic using physics vehicle simulator BeamNG.drive. He tops ten go-karts

Inspired by Wolverine’s Adamantium skeleton, The Hacksmith decided to try making his bulletproof skull. First, he had a CT scanned performed, then 3D printed a replica of his own skull in glass fiber reinforced nylon. Then, the skull was electroplated with Nanovate, a nano-crystallized metal alloy that ramps up energy

This is a test flight of the Jetson ONE, a single person multi-rotor EVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) copter. The Jetson ONE, which doesn’t appear to live up to its namesake (George Jetson’s flying car folded up into a briefcase), is capable of speeds up to 63MPH and a

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
