Once the fans start, the plastic containers fill up and propel the rider a few centimetres above the ground. The basic design of Ito’s innovation consists of four fans that are enclosed within plastic containers. Since then, Ito has made numerous versions of his standard design, like the electric-powered hovercraft or the mini one for the kids. Although at the time, Ito had no use for the leafblower, later he got to know of a man who had used his leafblower to make a hovercraft, which kicked off Ito’s long quest to innovate leafblower hovercraft. o4I1OVfHny- Akshay Narisetti April 27, 2023Ī Japanese inventor, Hideyasu Ito, became the shining star of the tech side of the internet when he demonstrated his leafblower hovercraft at the 2022 annual DIY exhibition called Maker Faire Tokyo.Ī decade ago, Ito planted the seeds of his innovation when he bought a leaf blower at a cheap price. ![]() This Project got me an interview at Google. Software engineer Akshay Narisetti shared a video on Twitter recounting the story of when he was offered a job at Google.Īkshay got hold of a tiny robotic clicker that kept going to play the game while following a code running on another computer. Thanks to the setup, the student got a job interview at Google even before completing his degree. However, it was easier to build a robotic contraption to set up a non-human at work than to keep hitting the spacebar till the dinosaur reached the end of the game. While the frame of the bicycle remained stationary and only the channels moved, bringing the cycle into stable motion.Ī college student took it upon himself to finish the Google Chrome Dino game. So, the engineer built a channel around the square wheels that would be activated through the pedals of the bicycle. Sergii obviously couldn’t make the square wheels work the same way a conventional round wheel works. However, the engineer made it work for his YouTube channel, The Q. If you think about it, a square-wheel bicycle goes against the laws of physics. ![]() What was so peculiar about the bike, you ask? Well, an engineer named Sergii Gordieiev worked in his shed and came up with a fully functioning bicycle running on square wheels. Whatever the case, by surfing through the numerous jugaads and makeshift innovations, one can get a good overview of the bizarre inventions that breed in the crowded timelines of social media platforms.Ī while ago, a unique bicycle design went viral on the internet for its unusual wheel design. Some end up getting battered by other intellectuals who deem these innovations useless. However, not all these creative endeavours down the side of a machine are necessary or even appreciated by people. Whether it be a self-made hovercraft or a new type of bicycle, all these innovations have struck a chord with nerds all over the internet. While the internet is filled with more bad things than useful things, there are people online who share their adventures with technology. Well, if you are one of those people who have no idea what we are talking about, then you might be in dire need of reading through this piece. Among the nonsensical and absurd are the clever innovations that often go unnoticed by the commoners on the Internet. Here's what The Incredible Machine used to look like.The Internet often becomes the end of a funnel, jammed with an influx of content all over the numerous social media platforms. Time to hop on the conveyor belt to a bucket that will lower us into a carousel that will fire us at memory lane. There's even a suggestion of Arduino integration, which is where my brain leaves the road. And there will be sharing of all the content you make, and mods to mess with. It does look like it's embracing people's desire to show off their wonderful toys (another better name), with direct to Youtube uploading. There's not a lot of information, though given what it's based on, we can guess at the content. ![]() ![]() It is also a game about building contraptions, which I would have hilariously named It is a Rube Goldberg paragraph, intended to lead you to information about a just announced spiritual successor, Contraption Maker.Ĭontraption Maker is the new game from Jeff Tunnell, the original designer of The Incredible Machine. Despite waffling on about it, this post is not about The Incredible Machine. There have a been a few sequels, but a new version hasn't appeared on the PC since 2005. A Rube Goldberg inspired game, where putting a ball in a box needed a confusing series of pulleys, and possibly a cat. TIM, as it's jollily known, was a game about performing easy tasks in the most complicated fashion. It was so long ago that it ran on DOS and it wasn't in the RPS tag system. Way way back in gaming's past, I'm talking spring of '93, there was a game released called The Incredible Machine.
