I made a bizzare invention that blows up clouds

The automatic hammer has given way to something aimed considerably higher. I did a thing's new upload is titled "I made a bizzare invention that blows up clouds", taking the Australian maker's experiments from workshop tools to the sky.

The video, published on Sunday, has already passed two million views. Alongside its arrival, the channel's daily views have climbed to roughly 1.8 million, more than twenty times their usual level. The upload includes advertising, as its description discloses.

Weather is not an entirely new target for this channel. Its most-watched regular video is "Can I Jump Rope Fast Enough To Stop The Rain?", posted in 2021. That question neatly captures a recurring feature of I did a thing: taking an improbable premise seriously enough to build something around it. The cloud-busting title makes another bold promise, though a title alone does not establish what the invention achieves.

There is movement elsewhere in the workshop, too. "My Homemade Jet Boat Is Terrifying", published in May, is drawing views at more than four times its usual daily pace.
