Yesterday my magic ball arrived :-) Been playing with it, has VERY bright LEDs, needs sunglasses .. and outside a heavy storm with rain and hail, Anyways had it floating above my hand, comes back too if you throw it the right way.. but will try later outside when weather improves as there is too much - like monitor screens - here that can be damaged if something goes wrong. Fun toy

I'm not sure about that - I recall as a youngun, taking apart a coffee percolator, remember those? https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.32COhd4K0iOkWcR4YXzT-AHaJJ What the hey, just a tube and a basket, how does this thing work? It violates the laws of chemistry! So you see, reverse engineering doesn't always go as planned - PS I have a little quiz of science, math, and economics, which I spring on unsuspecting victims. This percolator is one. No one has yet answered correctly. Either they claim it's magic, or guess the water boils and bubbles up the tube. -- Rich

I already ordered one from ebay Has been shipped, expected arrival end of January. Now as to what will fly on it and what will control it https://panteltje.online/panteltje/quadcopter/index.html I seem to also have the domain panteltje.online these days... That distances me from .nl politics supporting israeli genocide on Palestinian
