Awesome Handy Geng

Snowball Fighting Robot

Snowball Fighting Robot

After Handy Geng’s brother rigged a leaf blower to give him an advantage in a snowball fight, the inventor felt outgunned. So he got to work building a drivable mech that fires frozen projectiles. The armored lucky cat rolls along on caterpillar tracks and makes snowballs by gathering snow from the ground and shaping it with motorized scoopers. (Turn captions on.)

Power Drill Revolver

Power Drill Revolver

Handy Geng was tired of the look of ordinary power tools and decided he wanted something special. His goal was to make a drill that looks like an oversized revolver. He started by taking a motor and housing from a cordless drill and handcrafted metal parts for the gun from steel tube and sheet metal. Then, he built an even more powerful version.

Chinese New Year Disco Sweater

Chinese New Year Disco Sweater

To celebrate Chinese New Year, Handy Geng wanted a special good-luck outfit. After explaining the Chinese Zodiac, Geng put dozens of grommets into a sweater and filled each with a red LED light reminiscent of Rudolph’s nose. To complete the party effect, he scattered laser diodes between the bulbs. Turn captions on, and be sure to watch til the end.

The Smallest Tiny House

The Smallest Tiny House

We’ve seen some pretty clever use of space in tiny houses, but never anything like this. Inventor Handy Geng challenged himself to build a fully functional steel safe house with just 30 sq. ft. (2.8 sq. meters) of space. It has a living room, computer desk, bed, kitchen, and even a bathroom, all way too close for comfort.

Making a Centrifugal Car

Making a Centrifugal Car

Handy Geng wanted to know what it was like to feel weightless. But since he’s not planning on heading to space any time soon, he decided to build a machine that approximates that sensation on Earth. The vomit-inducing car has a cylindrical passenger compartment that can flip 360º. The faster it’s driven, the quicker it spins.

Pesticide Mech Suit

Pesticide Mech Suit

Handling pesticides can be quite dangerous. To help protect himself, inventor Handy Geng decided to fabricate a mech suit he can wear while spraying for insects. The winged metal armor has built-in spray tips and keeps overspray off his skin, while a mask in the helmet filters out chemical vapors. (Turn captions on.)

Junk Robot Security Guard

Junk Robot Security Guard

Handy Geng has a problem with unwanted visitors. After building a manned security patrol mech, the inventor decided to build something that would operate autonomously. So he got to work fabricating a security robot to stand guard at his main gate. Its chomping metal teeth, recorded dog barks, and water gun are designed to ward off strangers.

Making an Amphibious Fishing Vehicle

Making an Amphibious Fishing Vehicle

Handy Geng’s brother loves to fish. But when he’s out on the water, he doesn’t come back to land for hours on end. To help his bro, he engineered a crazy homebrew recreational vehicle that can drive into the water and has a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. He built its frame from steel pipe, then added PVC pipes for floatation. Turn on English captions.

DIY Security Mech

DIY Security Mech

Builder Handy Geng was worried about leaving his uncle alone to watch his workshop, so he did what any mad inventor would and built a mech to help guard the premises. It has caterpillar tracks like a tank, punching metal fists, and water guns which really should have been flamethrowers. English subtitles available.

Minivan Mobile Gym

Minivan Mobile Gym

Maker Handy Geng was tired of being unproductive while sitting in traffic, so he got the idea to modify an old minivan and turn it into a gym on wheels. The driver and passengers can all work out at the same time, and the energy they generate powers the van’s drivetrain. Turn on captions.

Overengineered Fishing Rod

Overengineered Fishing Rod

Handy Geng is showing off another unnecessarily complicated invention. His latest build is a multifunctional fishing rod with an ice-breaking shovel on one end, a smartphone-controlled motorized reel, accent lighting, and the ability to detect when a fish is on the hook. It also works as a pot stand for cooking your fresh catch.

An Exosuit for Beating Your Meat

An Exosuit for Beating Your Meat

Now that we’ve got your attention, we’re here to reveal that the hydraulic exosuit that Handy Geng created is not for self-pleasure but for tenderizing beef. It’s still a ridiculous idea, and just the kind of thing we’d expect from the man who gave us the corn on the cob machine. It can also provide massages and chop veggies.

Junk Yard Bubble Car

Junk Yard Bubble Car

Backyard engineer Geng Ge loves to make things out of parts he finds in the trash. Using a mix of junk and new parts, he built himself a bubble-shaped electric car that can maneuver in tight places. It features a curvy, stainless steel shell, wheels that can turn in any direction, a backup camera, and a 32″ TV for navigation.

Fighter Jet Motorcycle with Water Guns

Fighter Jet Motorcycle with Water Guns

After taking a soaking in a water gun fight, maker Handy Geng decided he and his kids needed to step up their game. So he got to work building a ridiculous motorcycle that looks like a fighter jet and loaded it with high-power water guns and wing gunner seats for his kids. The other children don’t stand a chance.

Building a Massive Portable Power Bank

Building a Massive Portable Power Bank

If you search around on Amazon, you can find some pretty big portable power banks. But Handy Geng needs more milliamp hours of power, so he got to building this enormous power pack that has batteries totaling 27,000,000 mAh (or 27,000 amp-hours) of power output. And yes, it’s still portable, kinda.

Electric Scooter Auto Gate

Electric Scooter Auto Gate

Handy Geng was tired of getting off of his scooter to open the gates to his workshop, so he decided to motorize one of them. Rather than use an off-the-shelf motor, he rigged up a mount and attached his scooter to do the work. Now he needs to buy a second scooter to ride through the gate. English subtitles available.
