Impossible Lego Project, Episode 3: The Duck Factory

Okay, I'm done....for now.

Impossible Lego Project, Episode 2: The AC

Nathan writes - "Working feverishly at the 2006 Carrier Convention I built a functioning replica of Carrier's newest air conditioner, complete with the compressor, valves and working fan. It took every hour of both days of the convention, but in the end I was happy with the result. And with that spinning fan, wow, what a breeze!"

There's something about this that makes me shiver.

Impossible Lego Project, Episode 1: The Crossbow

Alexei says - "One day I was making a simple little elastic gun to shoot Lego blocks and I thought to myself, "it would be cooler if it had some kind of trigger." The next thing I knew, I was involved in a competition with my own self - I tried to imagine the most impossible thing to make Lego do, and then set out to figure out a way to do it. About 300 hours later (in hindsight I probably should have spent the time canvassing for UNICEF or something more noble) I had a semi-automatic pump-action lego crossbow that took four blocks in the handle and one in the chamber. It can fire a standard lego brick about 20 yards. It's not terribly accurate, but believe me, you don't want to fire this thing at the family pet."

Spidey (or Gecko-Man)

Ever wanted to climb up walls? Shoot webbing and swing across cityways? Well, new technology may help you climb up walls! It's called Gecko Tape. The Gecko Tape is created with millions of tiny hairs that cling to surfaces. Much like the way Geckos cling to walls!
BBC says this:
The researchers say the material clings so well to a surface that by covering the palm of one hand with the tape, a person could hang from the ceiling - just like the remarkable lizard.

So far, however, Professor Andre Geim and colleagues have only been able to make a very small square of their gecko tape because of the difficulties involved in the fabrication process.

Nonetheless, the University of Manchester scientists are confident they can refine their work so that commercial quantities of the new sticky material can be produced.

Fun video. Makes me wish it was that easy to make a beat.
