Maker Builds 90,000-Watt Electric Scooter and Hit 99.4 MPH

By Bill Smith March 15, 2026

Few electric scooters can touch 70 mph, let alone flirt with 100. Determined to close that gap himself, President Chay spent several weeks in his workshop piecing together something truly out of the ordinary. At the heart of it were three QS273 motors, each capable of putting out 30,000 watts on their own, adding up to a staggering 90,000 watts at peak output. Power came from three separate battery packs, each running at 72 volts and 45 amp hours, with every single pack requiring 600 individual lithium ion cells to build.

By Bill Smith March 14, 2026

Holding the official Xbox Wireless Controller in Shock Blue, priced at $39 (was $70), makes you appreciate the ergonomic design.

Texture grips on the handles, triggers, and bumpers help you maintain a solid grip on the device even when things get hot and you’re sweating bullets in those online matches.

Webb Captures Red Dust Swirls Tracing New Stars Forming in NGC 5134

By Jackson Chung March 14, 2026

NGC 5134 is a scenic spiral galaxy 65 million light-years away from where we live, which NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was fortunate enough to capture in stunning detail. The way this image was created is actually pretty cool: two of James Webb’s devices combined their near-infrared and mid-infrared data to produce an extremely clear composite view.

Colin Furze Gives Skateboarding a Magnetic Lift

By Bill Smith March 14, 2026

Colin Furze, a self-taught engineer, has a flair for coming up with new ways to use magnets. One comment from a viewer spurred an idea, and he set to work transforming a regular skateboard into something that appears to be just hovering above the ground. He’d already built a bike with magnetic suspension, but he wanted to apply the concept to four wheels, giving the ride a gentle, floating feel without needing standard springs or shocks.

Builder Turns LEGO Bricks and Printed Discs Into a Generator Powered by Compressed Air Alone

By Bill Smith March 14, 2026

Jamie’s Brick Jams decided to take an old Nikola Tesla idea and turn it into something completely new, utilizing LEGO parts to construct a working generator. Jamie decided to utilize stacked discs rather than the standard spinning blades. Air enters at an angle through small holes and spirals in towards the closely spaced surfaces, and the friction from the moving air is what causes the discs to spin, without the need for any direct pushing force.

Sunlight Strikes a Fresh Crater on the Moon, Captured by NASA’s LRO

By Jackson Chung March 13, 2026

The sun shines a spotlight on the steep face of an unnamed crater. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) took this photo on August 30, 2023. This spacecraft has been orbiting the moon since 2009, continuously collecting photographs of its surface using its cameras. When the camera started rolling, the orbiter was floating about 100 kilometers above the moon’s surface, with the sun’s rays coming in at an angle of 82 degrees from the right.

A 136-Gram Rocket Drone That Launches Straight Up and Hits 67 Miles Per Hour

By Jackson Chung March 13, 2026

Max Imagination, a DIY enthusiast, worked really hard to develop the ESP-BLAST from a rather simple concept. This tiny drone weighs only 136 grams (with the battery!) and can reach speeds of up to 108 kilometers per hour during outdoor runs. Here’s the amazing part: Max built this entire thing from scratch, using only common tools and spare components lying around, to show that you can achieve some truly incredible performance from a device that fits perfectly in your palm.
