Awesome Jlaservideo

In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, a young Flint’s first invention is shoes that can be sprayed on to avoid having to tie shoelaces. Jlaservideo thought it would be fun to bring the idea to the real world. It took a lot of trial and error to come up with the right formulation, but eventually he got confident enough in his spray-on fabric to make other garments.

Mixing Diet Coke and Mentos can have explosive results. JLaservideo wanted to see if he could harness that fizzy energy on a larger scale to lift himself off the ground. After watching others fail miserably or cheat with other ingredients, he did some experimentation and engineered a homebrew jet pack that runs on the stuff.

Iron Man had armor that was able to fix itself after a fight. JLaservideo took a stab at making real-world armor pieces that heal themselves after being heated, thanks to Nitinol – a nickel-titanium alloy with the ability to return to a programmed shape after being bent. The material is expensive and hard to work with, but Tony Stark could afford it.

No matter how much we’ve wanted one, Mattel never made a real-world Hoverboard like the one in Back to the Future II. JLaserVideo built a working hoverboard that can float a couple of inches off the ground. After exploring various kinds of levitation technology and their limitations, he settled on a design that works like an upside-down air hockey table.

Attack on Titan fans know one of the coolest ways to battle a Titan is while wearing omni-directional mobility gear. Always up for a challenge, JLaservideo wanted to see if he could build real-world ODM gear. His CO2-powered rig fires darts and uses powerful motors to pull its wearer toward a target. Those interchangeable-blade swords are sweet too.

How would you like to be able to ice skate anywhere you go? Inspired by Frozone from The Incredibles, JLaservideo created a rig that lets him do just that. His water and liquid nitrogen-powered backpack is literally the coolest thing we’ve seen this week. But can he freeze a swimming pool and walk across it?

JLaserVideo has been trying for years to build a version of Iron Man’s armor that could actually fly. After a major failure, he’s finally achieved that dream. He started out with a pair of custom electric jets but settled on a ridiculous number of smaller electric motors. And when the suit isn’t being worn, its parts fly to him.

Jake Laser wishes he could run as fast as Usain Bolt. But he’s never going to achieve that goal without some mechanical assistance. So he got to work figuring out the best way to increase his running speed through a series of experiments with jets, a windsurfing wing, low-friction shoe soles, and lots of practice.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could walk on water? With a lot of trial and error, JLaservideo designed and fabricated a special pair of shoes that let him stroll above the surface. They use powerful electric motors and propellers to push the wearer up out of the water. Maintaining balance is clearly the trickiest part.

JLaserVideo loves to make costumes and gadgets that replicate those in superhero movies. To celebrate the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, he created a set of special vacuum sleeves that stick to smooth surfaces like walls and ceilings. The video culminates with him using them to climb a 14-story building.

Inspired by the nanotech “Iron Spider” suit seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home, JLaservideo wanted to see if he could replicate Spidey’s instantly-appearing, eight-legged outfit. J’s suit hides its appearance beneath a thermochromic pigment, and has inflatable tentacles that unfurl like those party horns.

Captain America’s shield possesses some impressive, but implausible physical characteristics. In addition to its near indestructibility and ability to absorb energy, it can bounce off of surfaces and come back to Cap. JLaservideo wanted to see what it would take to replicate the shield’s key features, including its ricochet.

In the world of Spider-Man, Dr. Otto Octavius (better known as Doc Ock) has been augmented with a set of mechanical tentacles he uses for nefarious purposes. JLaservideo teamed up with a few internet friends to design and build a working tentacle backpack, and then gave it mind-control capabilities.

Inspired by the Jackie Chan movie The Spy Next Door, maker JLaservideo created a sword that stores like a belt. The tempered steel weapon works like a tape measure, bending around his waistline, then maintaining a semi-rigid shape when deployed. We’d be afraid of cutting ourselves pulling it out of its sheath.
