Interesting Video Finds Part 3

[mcdj]

An oldie but a goodie. Flashlight appropriate, and knife fans will like it too...

Cats chasing lasers has already been done; check out fish chasing lasers:

Fun over 2 weels

You have probably seen this video before... it went viral and have almost 30 million visits now:



Now add a 10 year old kid and two multichampion trials riders to the mix:



If you think the guy in the motorcycle can't ride, think again:



The most amazing thing about the last video is that there is not a stunts video. Most of the footage came from actual competition (no double-takes, nervousness, the need to do things not flashy but effective...)

INSANELY FAST Radio Controlled turbine powered jet aircraft.

Aw, that's not right. Poor thing is hungry, and thinks its chasing after a piece of food.

Just came across an edc rap video, pretty funny stuff.

 

[Monocrom]

LOL

I like my Emerson too. But don't think it's tough enough to chop down a tree. Maybe a skinny tree.

Yeah some really great special effects lol.

I like the little kid rapping,

"I got my first knife when I was only six,
a Victorinox, my dad blunted the tip..."

I really liked the EDC Raps.

I was looking over the kits on a site owned by Ladyada and I ran across a kit called SpokePOV. It puts LED POV animations on yer spinning bike wheels. The kit even comes with software that enables you to program your favorite ani into the LEDS.

OLED panels might be integrated into auto bodies someday for signal lights and futuristic effects.

I knew the second I saw those animated taillights after the 1:25 mark that these are without question the way of the future; there's no way any retailer will be able to keep these in stock once they hit the market..

As I mentioned before I love looking for animated shorts on youtube. A friend of mine knows this, so when he found the following little gem he mailed me the link. What can I say, I absolutely love it.

So here it is, for all who are yearning to fly - and for those who don't: "Gagarin"

Daytime fireworks. The rainbow smoke puffs at 00:53 are particularly neat.

'Iron Curtain' destroys incoming missiles, etc., by doing a smithereen
conversion just inches from the target.

Ok, this one is all about advertising, but try to look past that aspect.

This is a video about the reprisal of the famous "Mean Joe Greene" Coke spot. The current ad is for a fabric softener, and they did a great job or recreating the feel of the original Coke commercial, even down to the music which is done in the same style and key as the original ad. And the punch line at the end is pretty funny.

Mean Joe Greene does it again

Take an amazing 400 second ride into space and back, viewed from cameras on a space shuttle's solid fuel rocket boosters.

Musical Tesla Coils performing House of the Rising Sun

Nerdy goodness.

The Wiki on "singing Tesla coil" says that they use MIDI and control the coils via fiber optics using PWM.

There are other tunes on YouTube by Crazeman5522 including "In the Hall of The Mountain King" among a few others.

One of my favourite nerd videos is "Phantom of the floppera"
