What other huge contraptions that are awesome from Japan, other than Gundam?
 

A Evangelion box that distinguishes candles, obviously.

The premise, if you have a cubic box, open one end of it with a hole which diameter is 1/3 the length of the box, when you hit the box on the side there's a circular wave that shoots out of the box. a 30cm box is capable of extinguising a candle about 4m away from the box.

So the experiment is to build a box at 10m x 10m x 10m and experiment what is the distance at which you can no longer take out a candle..... Experiment was performed in Saitama Super Arena, built with metal frame and taped together with cardboard paper. the "slamming" is done by a whole lot of people in white lab coats.

That's why Japanese are so fucking awesome. They did all this for a laugh.

I'm gonna build my own air cannon.

hadouken!

hahahaha, they must be bored

The background music is from the gundam DX series. :)

hahahaha omg

No it's from Neon Genesis Evangelion the remade movie version. I have the sound track. Also the 3D illustration few seconds of that came from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift ROFL.

Another crazy contraption:
Remember those flip down stickly toys you had when you were a kid? What if I made a full human sized one and let it flip down the side of a glass building?
