What are the practical applications for this? I'm sure they are many, just can't think of them at the moment.


Whenever I see videos like this I think the same thing, but I think just fucking around with nature ultimately has it's own rewards. Someday this idea will find itself as the perfect component to complete a larger system that otherwise wouldn't function without it, but no one would have arrived at such a solution if they'd only sought practically applicable ideas. I don't know, I'd like to believe that at any rate. Could still be used for beer pong.
