Amazing!!!!!

 

[jwcfbd]

very cool

 

[birdaprey]

was told about this at work ...........cool to see it

 

[ThunderPants]

Very cool and very frustrating it sounds like.

auto parts domino's....kinda cool....I'm not really buyin' it thou. The hundreds of tries thing . I noticed how the tires,with very little force behind them rolled up the ramp,hitting the next tire in line and then just sat there,they didnt roll back . Just me .

Remember ..... I

HEAVILY

I'll think " computer generated grafx " type help.

For all you skeptics...the articles at the bottom of the page detail how some of it was done. The tires "rolling uphill" for example really did roll uphill what you don't see is that the crew weighted each tire with enough bolts to force it to roll, EVEN up a slight hill.

For all you skeptics...

what....have I got six guys in my pocket....or are you refering to my ....you know....little problem . The one the doctor calls...Multiple Personality Disorder . hee hee hee .
I'm the only skeptic , an' no I didnt read it .
Just found it odd the way the tires came to a stop on such an' incline....much be some kinda "Special Weight" .

There are weights at the top, right at the balance point to change the center of gravity.

Exactly. Then when the tire is bumped, the weight is pushed to the right. Now the tire is heavy on that side and will roll to that side, even uphill. And when the weight reaches the bottom of the circle, it would stop. If it were on flat ground, it would roll back and forth a little bit.
It must have been hard to balance the tires on the ramp though. And imagine, the weight has to be just right, the ramp can't be too steep, the tire has to roll uphill hard enough to hit the next one and move it, but the tire still has to stop right after hitting it. Do the math on THAT! How much weight would you have to use if you had a steeper ramp? smaller tires?

Probably why they say it took 606 times to get it right.
