Gyroscopic gravity modification
I’ve always been fascinated by gyroscopes, but I can’t say I’ve ever played with one this large. I also wasn’t aware of how much a gyroscopic motion can affect the affect gravity has on an object. Watch as this heavy weight is able to be lifted above this man’s head wit[...]

Oil, Economy and You
Here’s a neat video that overviews our oil use and how it affects the economy. Even though we haven’t technically hit peak oil, with population growth we are definitely running out. What will the solution be to this problem? We still don’t know yet.[...]
