The eternal domino User JK Brickworks builds a ring out of rails, around which rest 64 dominoes. The mechanism allows the dominoes to rise again after falling, and the operation repeats continuously. A Mindstorms EV3 computer is used to monitor and control the speed of the ramp to match the falling dominoes.- Making the automatic mask Computer engineer Benjamin Heckendorn builds a mechanical mask that opens and closes automatically, with some servos and a completely improvised mechanism printed on a 3D printer.
- Road construction in the Australian countryside An Australian uses this improvised grader made of used bulldozer crawlers, to carve a road on a farm 8.000 acres in South New Wales, Australia.

- A simple faucet, using physics The construction of a simple faucet in the countryside using air pressure in a bottle. Water flows out of the yellow straw if the pressure in the bottle is greater than atmospheric pressure. By moving the blue straw up, we reduce the pressure on the end of it and air leaks through it. Because there is a leak, the air gap is reduced under the lid and the water flows out. By moving the blue straw down, we increase the pressure at its lower end due to the water column and the water stops flowing.
