I really thought this would fly well
Stuff Made Here left the upload calendar clear, but its engineering experiments are getting plenty of use. The busiest of its featured videos right now is "I really thought this would fly well," a strange kinetically powered helicopter project whose description acknowledges a design error that sent things off the rails. More than a year after posting, it is drawing more daily views than the much younger apple experiment.
"I made an apple peel itself" has reached roughly 3.7 million views. Its wonderfully ordinary kitchen objective comes with a decidedly less ordinary method: an experimental system involving high-pressure steam. The creator explicitly presents it as a record of an experiment, not a construction guide, and warns about the stored energy in boilers and pressure vessels. This is not a kitchen shortcut to copy.
Then there is "Robot golf vs holes that keep getting harder," which turns mini golf into a software problem. The description says months went into upgrading the robotic club so it could understand physics and solve challenging holes. It has the largest total audience of these three projects, even though the helicopter is attracting more views each day.
At about 4.8 million subscribers, Stuff Made Here sits close in size to Practical Engineering. That neighbor added more than two million views over the week; here, the catch-up is less about a fresh release than three very particular engineering questions: how to fly, how to peel, and how to putt.
