what is this sort of contraption called? for some reason I thought these sorts of complex one-man-multi-instrument setups was a Hurdy Gurdy, but that's apparently a different thing so I have no idea now. Is there a specific name?

Kept waiting for the chair to fall. That’s a pretty solid chair.

The only reason that chair didn’t fall was because she maintained a counterweight mass along the front. Watch her hand & foot.

I wonder if she figured that out intuitively, or if this was take #54

How the ... ? Does the car have some sort of heavy -rear end gyroscope in it to kick off those rotations?

Naturally nose heavy but you can goose the throttle at the lip of the ramps to make it backflip instead.

Just the motor, tons of torque. Spinning and stopping rotation is pretty important with them otherwise your gonna go through a lot of bodies.

They aren’t nose heavy, usually the weight is mid-rear.

The only flip it does forward is off the first ramp, the rest are falls, I'd say its just back heavy.

That helps, if you're climbing a mountain and you don't maintain a counterweight the whole thing flips. Same skill, different scale.

It's a tiny RC car. Proportionally, it has four large gyroscopes called the "wheels" that the operator can speed up or slow down to induce rotation

For what it's worth you see the same thing in motocross/FMX a lot. In DH MTB we do it sometimes too (brake the rear wheel to transfer that inertia to the bike and lower the front in midair) but the mass is so different it doesn't make nearly as large a difference, and we can't throttle on.

I feel like this is all viral marketing for the season premiere of Doctor Who where the UK is invaded by a race of mylar balloon people.

Or at least it would be, if Doctor Who still did fun episodes.

Honestly as someone who always really struggled to hold a pen the normal way precisely because of hand cramps it might be easier to do it that way, rather than a scrunched up knuckle ball as I used to do in school. I would be willing to bet a small amount of money that it may be an adaptation to being unable to do it the normal way.

Looks like it's from a NatGeo documentary (Seven Worlds, One Planet) and the fish are from Indonesian fisherman who are dropping them into the water for the shark:

I find myself in need of a good collection of helicopter gifs that I will put to use furthering the cause of public transit. I know that sounds a strange, but it's true. The perfect helicopter gif would be a helicopter landing on a city street, but I'm not gonna be too picky, I just need a bunch of helicopter gifs.

Hey you could totally do a modern Doctor Who episode about that! Well, if you can explain how the balloon people are an ancient enemy of the doctor from before time! And if you can somehow tie them into a universe ending event! Bonus points if you can get a companion lost in the time vortex or killed off or something!

This is the opposite of that (and the correct response to the action):



This is rad.
