LEGO Cars Attempt Ever-Larger Loops With Real Physics at Work

How big can a loop get before a LEGO car simply refuses to cooperate? In his latest video, Youtuber Brick Technology puts LEGO engineering to the test by sending cars through loops that keep getting larger, from 30 cm all the way up to 100 cm. Each increase in size means tweaking the motor, gearing, weight, wheels, and axles to keep the car moving fast enough to stay on track. Check it out!

Slowing Time Until You Can See Light and Electrons Move

What happens if you just keep slowing down time… and then keep going? This new video from Veritasium starts with a century-old strobe trick that can freeze a tennis ball mid-smash, then cranks things up to quadrillion-FPS cameras that literally watch light crawl through space. And it doesn’t stop there.

Along the way, you’ll meet Harold Edgerton, see why some “cameras” can move faster than light without breaking physics, and visit giant particle accelerators that let scientists stitch together movies of electrons sloshing around molecules at an effective quadrillion frames per second.

It’s an enlightening ride from popping balloons to watching reality itself update frame by frame, proving that slowing time enough doesn’t just reveal motion… it reveals entire hidden worlds. Check it out!

This AI Robot Was Built for One Job: Keep the Cat Off the Kitchen Counter

Every cat owner knows this moment: you turn your back for three seconds, and suddenly your cat is on the kitchen counter like they own the place. You try foil. The cat laughs. You try a spray bottle. The cat waits until you leave the room. At some point, you realize this isn’t a pet problem… it’s an engineering problem!

Enter Puffy, an AI-powered water turret built for one noble cause: defending the kitchen counter from a fluffy repeat offender named Cookie. And yes, this is exactly as serious as it sounds.

Using a camera, a Raspberry Pi, and a surprisingly clever mechanical design, Puffy can detect a cat, track it in real time, and deliver a perfectly aimed “please rethink your life choices” water blast. Cookie, meanwhile, responds by tanking hits like a furry boss, stubbornly soaking damage just to prove a point.

Eventually, the hard work pays off. Cookie’s counter jumps drop from 26 per week to just two: a 92% reduction and a clear win for humanity.

For those interested in building or buying one of these robots, head over right here and join the waitlist.
