Page turning Rube Goldberg machine
I love how the machine uses many normal looking parts of the reader's environment. The trained Guinea Pig is great too.

Awesome ferrofluid art
This thing looks totally bizarre, but really cool. Just what we like here on Random Weirdness. Somehow makes you think you're watching an alien life form, but no, this is real. It uses powerful electromagnets in a bath of magnetic liquid to make these dancing spirals.

Simon's Cat
Some YouTube gems. Just awesome how the artist managed to reproduce the behavior and movements of a cat in such a recognizable way! I am sure every cat owner will crack up watching these.

The simplest self-propelling device ever
Homopolar roller
Who knew a simple battery, some magnets and a piece of copper wire could produce so much nerdy fun?

Getting bored with your daily commute? Try this!
Getting from point A to point B would become a whole lot more interesting if this guy would have his way. What you see here is the GEN H-4, the worlds smallest one-man helicopter. For 'just' $29000 and 30-40 hours of spare time (some assembly is required), this thing will get you in the air for about 30 minutes, at speeds up to 90 km/h (56 mph) and as high as a kilometer (about half a mile). The faint of heart need not apply.
GEN H-4 personal helicopter
Yes, this thing is for real. This movie shows it in operation. I just wish the pilot would actually show off the speed and height this thing can reach instead of mozying around...
