I’ve posted Joerg Sprave’s bizarre engines of death and mayhem before, but this one is especially genius: A rowing machine that fires 30 mm steel ball bearings. I think I love his voice and his laugh as much as his ingenious contraptions, though in case of zombie apocalypse I’m thinking I’d want to be his next door neighbor. In any case, his videos are just plain fun, even if I’d never attempt them at home.
