Vortex Cannon Demolishes House « Wonderment Blog Jem Stansfield from BBC's Bang Goes the Theory has "put scientific theory to the test" with his Vortex Cannon. Filmed at 1300-fps, you can see the cannon knock down three different houses made of straw, stick, and brick with an explosive vortex ring. The vortex ring that comes out is not smoke, however. Stansfield's cannon is probably too big for the average do-it-yourselfer, but Edwin Wise from Make Magazine has a few garage-friendly vortex cannons - the Tub Thumper, Barking Tube, and Big Bad Boom Cannon. Get the full PDF instructions or see Kipkay in action below, building Wise's first two vortex cannons. 8 Week Female Fat Loss Formula Most programs make no distinction between males and females. As far as most people are concerned it makes no difference if you are male or female, the trick is to simply eat less and exercise more. But ask any woman and they will tell you hormones matter and the female hormones can matter a lot. The female hormones play a key role in proper metabolic function from thyroid function to adrenal signaling. This program is designed specifically for women and designed by the entire Metabolic Effect team. Here is what you’ll learn:

Eye Candy: Mesmerizing Swinging Balls Video Not mine -- mine are hypnotizing. This is a video of one of those swinging ball desk toys (aka Newton's Cradle) but with different length droopers (mine drag on the floor), creating all sorts of crazy-ass designs. I just watched it twice back to back (the second time with my eyes unfocused) and I'm pretty sure I spotted the secret to the universe at one point. SPOILER: It was a pop-up porn ad. Hit the jump for the worthwhile video but, WARNING: may cause dizziness. Youtube viaThe most beautiful video ever? Thanks to Church, who once mesmerized an entire living room full of bachelorette party attendees with his own swinging balls trick.
