Recreating a Banned Toy from the 1980s
The Australian made Popball was my favourite toy when I was a young kid. A simple rubber 'half-ball' style toy that uses its own stored kinetic energy to launch itself into the air. These simple toys have been around for a long time and you can still buy them today. But the Popball that I remember was far more powerful than the newer ones! And that led to it being banned across schools - and I was never really sure why.
Now, 35 years later, I wanted to get to the bottom of the urban myths and recreate the toy using materials and processes like 3D printing, mould making and even using unusual materials like carbon black. It was certainly a challenge, but I managed to achieve my goals and le...

World's Fastest Roomba Gets Upgrades
Просмотров 747 тыс.Год назад
A little while ago I modified an iRobot Roomba 630 into a high speed radio controlled vehicle. It was fun and fast, but there were quite a few design flaws that made it difficult to drive. In this video, I'm fixing up some of those issues by 3D printing stronger parts, adding aero and fitting some different electronics. Then I hit the track to see how it performs. *► Join the electrosync team o...

Building the World's Fastest Roomba
Просмотров 1,8 млнГод назад
I built the world’s fastest Roomba! After finding that the few fast Roombas online weren't exactly the real deal, I decided to build my own. @Make Cool Stuff did build the real deal and that was the benchmark that I set out to beat. I used a 10 year old iRobot Roomba 630 and added some high tech motors, electronics and radio control gear to bring it all to life. I CAD designed and 3D printed pa...
How Bad is Resin 3D Printing for Air Quality?

DesignSpark sent me one of their Air Quality IoT kits to beta test and I decided to test in on 3D printing resins to see just how bad they are. @DesignSparkRS developed the *Environmental Sensor Development Kit* (ESDK) as an open source hardware platform with the ability to add sensors to suit your project needs. The brains of the ESDK consists of a main board with touch screen and GPS that con...

3D Printed CO2 Pool Torpedoes
Просмотров 3 млн2 года назад
We all know that you can build CO2 rockets and CO2 dragsters, but what about using CO2 under water? When I was growing up, torpedoes were a big feature in movies, TV and video games and something about them fascinated me. Now that I’m all grown up, I decided to make my very own CO2 powered torpedoes that you can launch in a small space like a pool. After a prototype design that proved the conce...
Exploring Underwater with a Head Tracking FPV Camera

We all know that FPV is a lot of fun in the air with quadcopters and fixed wings, but what about from underneath a boat looking below the water? And what if you could immerse yourself in that underwater world and control the camera with your head? That’s what I wanted to find out, so I dusted off my big 3D printed catamaran RC boat (link to files below) and set about adding a head tracking, fir...

Swooping Aussie Magpie vs 3D Printed Defenses - V1.0
Just proves there's a lot of science behind the simplest fun toy. These days at school Pokemon cards are banned due to gambling and children being tricked out of rare very valuable cards. LEGO Ninjago were banned because it was causing fights (early version of this toy became rare)
Did you consider that the vocs were caused by the open uncured resin? Uncredited resin gives off fumes much more than cured resin and possibly even curing resin. Given the spike for your washing was the same it seems like a likely culprit. It could be that ignoring the fan printing resin gives off next to no fumes. But the open container itself does.
Mr wharf fire torpedoes.
my grandma still has one
1:13 racism?????????
I once worked IT for a company that made rubber-based car parts (like NVH components)... whenever I'd grab a desktop to work on from the floor, I'd have to take it back to a special room with a fume hood and an air compressor to clean off all the carbon black. That stuff is nasty and gets into everything.
wonderful video. I was thinking they made the hole to reduce kids eyeballs from getting sucked out lol but then they said it was for bruising.
9:31 anyone else notice the random bug?? :D
Do you wanna battle to win a prize?… A bfdi!
these were a bravery test, prepare the toy, hover yoour head over it and wait for it to pop, if you flinched away from it you failed, you had to let it bonk you in the forehead
Far less dangerous than Tiktok.
So couldn't you just melt that filament in a pot and pump it into that mold of yours with a syringe to get a nicer finished product than actually printing it?
Spring trap
wait you turn it inside out and drop it? I never played with them that way it was always turn inside out and wait.
Banned? We had these in the UK in the late 2000s at least.
These were never banned in New Zealand. In fact some products or movies used to have "Banned in Australia!" stickers to make them more attractive.
Man I was playing with these well passed the 2010s. In fact I believe that they are still manufactured and I distinctly remember receiving one in school as a middle schooler (7th grade area)
When mine was broken (late 80s in Argentina) we cut in half a tennis ball and works exactly the same (the inner rubber ball, not the furry)
"Why did you lie to us loser" ahh toys 💀💀💀💀💀🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cant tell how much of this is satire because australian logic is..um, challenged to put it acceptably.
What I coincidence! Footage @0:27 was taken exactly on the day I was born.
Did you measure the test samples to verify they were equally thick and wide? If so, the printed parts being stronger is amazing.
Would love to hear a follow up from the one who created the toy and what he thought of your recreation of that toy.
Seems a small turbine and blades might slow the complete loss of pressure in an instant. Slowly releasing the gas might offer a better propulsion system!!?????
After bad experiences with pistol firing pins... this printed titanium seems interesting. Some people say titanium can be filed, firing pins can't. Interesting, I'll study more.
When we were kids we built these by slicing a tennis ball at the right spot. Worked like a charm. 👌
RC roomba... Sounds like a sick videogame idea!
We only had one thing banned at school which were classic cards. And even then it was by a teacher who thought they are devilish or whatever.
Oh man, I had forgotten about these things.
does it stil vacuum?
09:30 - 🪲„Hello :)”
What? Never heard of a Popball but, one thing's for sure. You're too smart for your own good. How about a solution for world peace?
Bubble-wrapping kids... Seriously.
Fun fact: It will always pop, you just have to modify the wall thickness. There is a thesis covering this topic. I don't know the title but it was written by the ~2009 chairman of the board of allianz insurance group. One of the very few mathematicians in the world who are board members of big companies.
Honestly, only thing I have gathered from this video is that if you want your kid to have toys that are fun, make sure they are classified as lethal weapons
we need rumble roombas
I have been there and I sat on it 😅🎉
0:25 thats a U boat or german U boat not a submarin as its only suppose to be near the surface unlike a submarin whic can go deper
U boats are for lunching torpeados so thats why it looks like that and fungctions like that they can dive under ship to not get hit
9:30 I did not expect to see a beetle make a little mess on your printing surface.
i have realizes that buying a 3d printer is all you need to have endless possibilities
If you put a gentle twist on the fins, the directional stability might improve.
In Australia anything that's fun, has a firing pin and looks like it could shoot someone would be banned in a instant. This reminded me of how the Japanese designed Torpedoes that could operate in very shallow water to sink ships in Harbours. I think they were called Type 91's
Been two years, bud. Still interested in this? We are.
Absolutely wild that people will unearth these things I think about all the damn time and wonder what happened to them, pound the pavement (metaphorically speaking) to find the originators and interview the people responsible to either confirm or deny myths, and then actually see if they can make a modern-day version of it. We had these too in the United States, and I loved them as a kid. Magnificent toy.
man Australians really can't have shit
I loved these things as a kid, I was a year older than you and in England. They just disappeared!
this is a wasted of energy. You should try to impulse an internal turbine that is a propeller outside of the torpedo with the CO2
I like the spoiler. Would you sell the stl file?
Any sound created by the boat, motors or electronic switches is amplified underwater. This may scare the fish away.
