Lego Domino Stacking Machine

Simon Barker — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:26:00 +0000

Right, I will admit it right now, probably my favourite toy as a kid was Lego, I would build loads of different stuff with it, however I never really got into building Lego Technics that much which gave you more options and the use of motors/gears etc.

However, this guy can clearly use Lego to construct some rather nifty machinery as he’s combined Lego with something else I played with at one point and that is dominos!

Now this is how I wish I could have stacked dominos in lines when I was a kid, it would have saved sooooo much time!

Lego Pop-Up Box Model Video

Simon Barker — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:01:52 +0000

I’ve been a big fan of Lego ever since I was a small kid and therefore I know as well as anybody just how long it takes to create anything truly good with Lego – and we’re not talking about simply building a bought set by following the instructions (as fun as that can be), no we’re talking about creating Lego models yourself, similar to the Lego fan who made custom Lego sets to ask his girlfriend to marry him with.

Now let’s take that thought to a whole new level, to something that requires not just construction skills, but engineering skills – have you ever even considered the amount of work it must take a create a 3D pop-up Lego box set?

Truly amazing!

Warehouse Mattress Dominos Video

Do you remember playing dominos as a kid? A great game I quite enjoyed, although I perhaps enjoyed the whole setting up and running of a “Domino Rally” style event, admittedly it could takes an hour or more to setup a large sized set, only for them to fall down in just seconds, but it always seemed worth it.

Now take a look at this, perhaps this is what happens when you get bored working with mattresses and somebody has a bright idea of nostalgia from their childhood! – Likewise this must have taken ages to set up! But worth it for a publicity stunt if nothing else!

Slow Motion Bullet Impacts Video

Simon Barker — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:21:38 +0000

Ever wondered what actually happens when a bullet impacts something? Well now you can get a much better idea by taking a look at this video which shows lots of different bullet impacts in slow motion as taken by a camera taking 1 million frames per second to capture the precise detail of what happens when bullets hit things.

Definitely an interesting video to take a look at and makes you realise just how much bullets can deform on impact, some look like they are just melting due to the force at which they are being propelled into an object.

What do you think to these slow motion bullet impact shots made by Werner Mehl from Kurzzeit?

G.I. Joe Delta 6 Accelerator Suit Testing On Skateboard Ramp

Simon Barker — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:47:43 +0000

With the G.I. Joe movie having been released, this viral video has been created to tie-in with it – it is basically showing some test footage of the military testing the Delta 6 Accelerator Suit on a skateboard ramp, which starts off quite normal, but then its true power is revealed!

If you like this, be sure to check out the Giant Military Robots video too as Justin Dowling not only did some work on this, but also created that one! Let us know what you think!

Here’s a pretty cool video compilation of various life lessons explained by the characters of the He-Man cartton TV show! What do you think to it? Do remember watching these as a kid?

The Bloody Apprentice – Funny Video Edit

Giant Military Robots Video!

Simon Barker — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:18:41 +0000

We recently featured an article on Zath about a giant 59ft Gundam statue that had been built in Tokyo to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Gundam – that’s one hell of a way to celebrate, you can see lots of pictures of the construction of it and also a video which shows the giant Gundam statue moving!

So when Justin Dowling sent us his video that he’d created about a giant weaponised bipedal unit the military may have made in secret – we just had to feature it here on Zath TV.

Take a look at it below, it’s definitely quite a cool looking conspiracy video, let us know what you think to it!

Leo Laporte Gets Mad With Mike Arrington of TechCrunch

Simon Barker — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:36:49 +0000

Leo Laporte is a calm, well-mannered guy who produces a whole bunch of great “This Week in Tech” audio and video podcasts as well as live-streaming his other shows from his house – I personally think he’s one of the best tech-based commentators out there and equally his shows are usually pretty spot on and he tells it like it is.

However, in this clip you can see that he really loses his temper (yet still is actually quite calm compared with most people), but the fact he starts swearing (as he never normally does) really shows he’s been wound up by Mike Arrington of TechCrunch when he insinuates that he’s only giving the Palm Pre a good review because he got a loan unit for a week???

I’m guessing Mike Arrington clearly didn’t get one to look at and is just plain jealous!

There’s been quite a few tech news shows over the years, some of which are no longer around, however one of the first and the best is still here in the form of Leo Laporte’s live streaming shows, check them and also his links to his related podcasts over at TWiT.tv.

Formula 1 Overtaking With Martin Brundle

Simon Barker — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 16:58:39 +0000

If you’re a fan of Formula 1 like I am, then you might like to take a look at this following video!

Former F1 driver turned commentator; Martin Brundle gets back behind the wheel of a current Formula 1 car along with his former team-mate Mark Blundell to explain and demonstrate overtaking in Formula 1 – something that some people would argue does not happen quite nearly enough – perhaps this will explain why it is such a tough thing to do with these cars that are driven around the track at around 200mph.

Portable Automatic Paintball Sentry

Simon Barker — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:59:20 +0000

This portable automatic paintball sentry is very impressive to watch and funny to see the guy getting pelted with paintballs, remarkably accurate – but perhaps a little scary to think what could be done if hooked up to a real gun given it’s accuracy!
