Most car lifts are bought, but building a secret underground portal for a DeLorean requires a 10-ton bespoke solution. Colin Furze reveals the engineering behind his telescopic leg design, featuring custom eccentric cams and a clever maintenance slot that prevents the mechanism from becoming a 460kg paperweight.

Traditional skateboard suspension is limited by physical springs and rubber, but what happens when you replace them with invisible magnetic fields? Discover how a dual-deck prototype evolved from a basic rig into a fully functional floating board that defies standard mechanical constraints.

Mechanical springs are a relic of the past when you can ride on a cushion of invisible force. Discover how a custom-built magnetic suspension system turns a standard longboard into a frictionless hover-hybrid that defies road vibration. This deep dive into high-load magnetic repulsion reveals why the dream of the 1989 hoverboard is finally reaching the streets.

Intrigued by the intricate rituals of modern artisan guilds, I turned my attention to the YouTube Makers Secret Santa, a fascinating display of contemporary cultural exchange. When tasked with crafting for a fellow creator, the concept of the Spagrolla — a toilet roll cannon — emerged not as mere jest, but as a profound challenge in engineering and personalized ingenuity. The meticulous creation, blending advanced tools with ancient principles of craftsmanship, resulted in an artifact whose very unveiling became a testament to human connection and the timeless joy of unexpected creation.

Explore the intricate process behind building a Magnet Suspension Bike, a project that marries ancient engineering ambition with cutting-edge fabrication. This endeavor demands an understanding of fundamental physics and a suite of industrial tools to achieve magnetic levitation in a bicycle frame. Uncover the meticulous steps from conceptualization to final assembly, revealing the complexities of controlling powerful magnetic forces for a revolutionary ride.
