Gyro the Cube

[walter0bz]

looks like the sort of thing that tears a hole in space-time once you spin it up to relativistic speeds

[wenzhiquan]

i just learned about angular momentum today and how gyroscopes work. pretty cool stuff.

[TheSivoo]

How work does it :}

[karrek1]

Can I get this in detailed slowmo

[hughtub]

Why is it just moving on its own apparently?

[virtoxnet]

@hughtub Because I am blowing on it ;-)

[beastdude]

is this a sangheili arum in the working? :P

[piccolopeteisme]

Okay, coils on the ribs, magnets on the hubs... I'd bet you'd get a funky wave form outta that. Could lead us into another dimension ;-)

[virtoxnet]

@piccolopeteisme :-)

[sorin7486]

This is making me think of Pandora's Star :))

[Mrgrenades1000]

WWWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!­

[SkaxTH]

he is blowing on it, thats why there is no sound.

[BrentKung89]

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!

[virtoxnet]

@BrentKung89 See link in the description :-)

[BelviGER]

i'm thinking about buying one and was wondering:

Does it work as well when you use other materials that look a bit more elegant then the white platic thingy :D

Hope you can help me :)

[virtoxnet]

@BelviGER It is available in black, dark grey, red and indigo, which all have the same properties as the white material.

There is also an Alumide version, which is a more sparkly but less flexible material.

[canttalkshit]

looks light your blowing compressed air on it

[virtoxnet]

@canttalkshit Nope, pure lung work ;-)

[2281nacole]

what is it suppose to do

[virtoxnet]

@2281nacole This :-)

[garethygog]

Had one printed to give as Xmas gift. Impressive as an object, though it hardly moved as freely as the video suggests. Maybe needs to "bed in " ?

[virtoxnet]

@garethygog Yes, because of slight printing variations, sometimes the cubes need to wear in a little.

All the cubes I handled, moved as smoothly and rapidly as in the video, after a short while!

[UpcomingJedi]

How is this useful? Is it a better waste of time than "fushigi"? If so, how.

[atamotua64]

so what makes it move?

[microblah]

Thanks, you just broke my mind...

[eyhexs]

show me the secret, magicman!

[rocketn8]

drop something throught the middle and you might make contact

[mack3D]

@virtoxnet It's DaddyMack and I know you're a witch! Obey the laws of physics dammit!

[virtoxnet]

@mack3D lol

[mack3D]

burn him... He's a witch!

[virtoxnet]

@mack3D Not true, I just hire an external company for the witchcrafting..

[uriituw]

Look at the shadows. The video has been manipulated in some way.

[CoxTH]

I think, I'm gonna buy one...

Do you send it to Germany too?

[virtoxnet]

@CoxTH Yes, we ship world-wide!

[Darkgon101]

how does it work?

Medic: I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!

me:of course.....

[notengonickcojones]

incredible, were can i find some good sites in order to make a 3d print machine?

[virtoxnet]

@notengonickcojones Best do a search search for reprap/huxley

[micmoable]

wow--bet you could create some really cool toys with this machine

[virtoxnet]

@micmoable Check out Shapeways, lot of cool stuff on there!

[BuFu1O1]

witchcraft!!

[virtoxnet]

@BuFu1O1 Why thank you!

[peteandstar]

WITCH!

[virtoxnet]

@peteandstar Thanks!

[origamigek]

Stop-motion.

[Nomoreidsleft]

Is this all printed in one piece, no assembly required?

[virtoxnet]

@Nomoreidsleft That is correct, it is printed as one assembly, but for better clearances though it needs some minor assembly, please refer to link in description for full details.

[purplethig1998]

is this based on a gyroscope?

[virtoxnet]

@purplethig1998 Yes, more or less.

[Dankskees]

I want two of those to replace my testicles.

[averyaccordion]

@Dankskees I just spontaniously burst into laughter!

[mcjohnalds45]

@Dankskees haha blowjobs

[covidiu]

Sorcery!

[virtoxnet]

@covidiu Thank you!

[virtoxnet]

@DeleteMeOnline To be more precise it is done using SLS Nylon :-)

[woodburyadpost]

@virtoxnet haha, yea at first i thought it was some kind of editing but then i realized what he was doing... that thing is pretty damn neat!

[virtoxnet]

@woodburyadpost Thanks!

[WibblyWobblyTime]

Thats kinda freaky. in a good way

[virtoxnet]

@WibblyWobblyTime Thanks!

[ajsindri2]

oh.. your blowing on it. I was about to accuse you of witchcraft and burn you

[zeromra]

@ajsindri2 This is without a doubt the best comment I have seen on youtube in months, I thank thee.

[Hookhandful]

@ajsindri2 Only witches don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" Who's the witch, now?

[hoakyman]

Do you have a recommendation for the best material for this design? I'd love to buy one but want the BEST one.

[virtoxnet]

@hoakyman Depending if you prefer robustness or funkiness ;-) The coolest is probably the Alumide version, but it's more brittle. For durability I recommend the Black Strong Flexible or the Grey Strong Flexible.



[antijelly]

pretty cool!

i would just set it in front of a fan and watch it all day :D

[virtoxnet]

@antijelly At trade shows it stands on top of a small fan, hope to release a kit for that soon!

[lordvony0tube]

of course you read and watch harry potter, but you don't believe in magic when you see it

LOL

[assassinfan1000]

is it supposed to be a puzzle?

[virtoxnet]

@assassinfan1000 More of a mind-game ;-)

[keetonbob]

I'll tell you what you blew...my friggin' MIND!!!

[virtoxnet]

@keetonbob Thanks :-)

[IOPzK]

FAke ! Your blowing is fake !!!! ... -.- j/k ^_^

[virtoxnet]

@IOPzK lol

[hebogara]

i just got it from shapeways it is zo simple

and cool i love it Thanks for designing it.

[virtoxnet]

@hebogara My pleasure!

[davidtoc2]

People think everything is fake. It's far more important to them that they not get fooled by a stop motion or rendered 3D video. Ironically, they end up getting fooled by reality instead.

[virtoxnet]

@davidtoc2 :-D

[Blackat92]

@davidtoc2 You Sir are a really wise man

[buildermaster99]

you blow on it and it moves i figured it out :)

[AlistairAI]

why do people think it's fake? and what is it made of?

[virtoxnet]

@AlistairAI First question : I don't know ;-) Second Question : It's made using Laser Sintered Nylon.

[girrrrrrr2]

He is blowing on it.

[dorumonlv152]

how is this able to do this?

[stardust4ever]

It's almost unbelievable that it moves so rapidly!!! If this is true, I may just order one from Shapeways.

[virtoxnet]

@stardust4ever It's true :-)

[munkyhanger82]

well fake video. i don't doubt the thing may actually work, but expecting people to believe that the video shown does not use the 21st century super-technique alien technology known as 'stop-motion' is just stupid

[2311blobman]

@munkyhanger82 its wind powered read the description box!!!! its real

[0kitty1cooper2zac]

thats fake you took 1000 pics

[virtoxnet]

@0kitty1cooper2zac You are right, that is so much easier than just print the thing..

[3dchris89]

how much did that set you back, and where can i order it? :D looks awesome

[virtoxnet]

@3dchris89 About $25-$30, you can buy it at Shapeways, or follow link in the description!

[MuscarV2]

Awesome, are you blowing at it?
