Unedited: Ear Shattering Kapla Destruction Compilation Kaplos 2020-08-31 | Unedited raw destruction, real time, no music.Of course the term "unedited" is purely marketing, a lot of cuts and volume adjustments were needed to put this video into shape. However the style here is unusual compared to my other videos, as there is:- no music, only falling domino kapla sounds- no slowmo, only real time- no editing tricks (no hiding of failures)Everything, image and sound, is shown "as is"... except for 3 sequences which had unusable sound for various reasons (yelling, volume too low....), and for which I manually composed a realistic sound track, let's see if you can spot them.I dare you to listen to this with headphones at full volume until the end! YouTube severely limited the volume of my sound track after uploading, I had to change my recommandation from 50% to 80%+ volume!

Domino Kapla #21: The Box (destruction) Kaplos 2020-07-04 | Ok, what can I do now with my useless giant mirror box? After I was done with "singularity", I was left with this totally not bulky and cumbersome mirror box, which gave me a few ideas. Here it interacts with a domino running around and inside it, with lots of new untested mechanisms and transitions... what could go wrong? Let's see if you can spot the fails, despite the heroic editing that took place!Music: Kevin MacLeod ~ Fig Leaf Rag [original composer: Scott Joplin]youtube.com/watch?v=xj2pF0COato& Kevin MacLeod ~ Fig Leaf Times Twoyoutube.com/watch?v=LNc2Tvn0JgM

Domino Kapla #20: Collateral Damage Kaplos 2020-06-27 | Will the West side or the East side win this battle? Out of 8 canons, only 4 fired correctly. Canon failures were expected, these things are hard to setup precisely without accidentally blowing up in your hands. I did not even know if 4 hits would be enough to trigger the "one way walls". I got insanely lucky: 4 canons triggered in a successive and musically synchronisable way and both walls were triggered. This was my preferred outcome, however triggering the wall on only one side would still result in total collapse by design (in theory...).Music: 1812 Overture from Tchaikovsky

Domino Kapla #19: Sliding Towers on Bridge Kaplos 2020-06-13 | As usual, the kaplas were pretty adversarial during the destruction.0:32 The tower slipped backward, removing the counterweight without triggering the domino start.0:35 The first sliding tower was not adjusted precisely and dangerously enough.There was a huge flaw in the construction, the tower right sides should not have been put on top of the demolition systems supports. This is only allowed for free standing towers, not for bridges.Song track: The Party Troll by D1ofAquavibe www.youtube.com/user/D1ofAquavibe available at: www.D1ofAquavibe.com (as well as Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify, etc.).
Behind The Scenes (domino kapla) Kaplos 2020-06-05 | This video shows the essential tricks behind some of my projects, below are more detailed explanations. If you haven't done it already, you can watch the original videos (links below). Do not hesitate to ask me questions in the comments.Huge Temple: youtube.com/watch?v=5Q9XXTaUDrklThis type of demolition system scales easily to heavy loads, because it divides the weight with a series of levers. Principle explanation: youtube.com/watch?v=6nTOJvtIVLEThe systems are mostly invisible on the destruction video (integrated inside the walls or hidden behind structures). The right front wall failed because the system got stuck in the corner. A flaw was identified quite late during construction, to avoid deconstructing it was retrofitted (almost as poorly as the 737-max...).Roman Temple: youtube.com/watch?v=KeZqHAuwFesDemolition systems are constructed in parallel to create a platform. The Temple stairs are constructed over the "starting part" of the systems (trigger), so one must go through the stairs to trigger the destruction, hence the massive tower falling. After the systems are triggered (in the middle, facing the tower), they propagate quickly from front to back.Mutual Assured Destruction: youtube.com/watch?v=Hpnn3iKHuU4In the slingshot configuration the rope is wrapped around the arm and attached near the counterweight. The ball is thus not thrown but instead swings into an arc and wraps around the structure in front. See the Knex Machine video for more details about the trebuchet: youtube.com/watch?v=Fv-wIy2ht6kCrazy Carousel: youtube.com/watch?v=smtewnIcts8See the Knex Machine video for more details about the Carousel. The Carousel has two modes, the motor mode (constant speed) and the overdrive mode. In overdrive the carousel is accelerating under the pull of the weight, and the motor must be deconnected (or it would prevent/resist the acceleration). Three mecanisms are used to make the transition happen (motor clutch, weight clutch and ratchet). The carousel is also featured in the Theme parc video: youtube.com/watch?v=VYopkxMveMEBoring Kapla Tunnel: youtube.com/watch?v=hKYsI1f9SgUPyramid: youtube.com/watch?v=tYrPyozhsMkNyan Domino Kapla: youtube.com/watch?v=6TLF4HgwucU&t=26sSong track: JJD - Nyan Cat - No Copyright Music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4te8...)
Knex Machines Kaplos 2020-06-03 | This video is unusual, it is exclusively about Knex. I show detailed pictures and videos of the different parts of the Knex machines I used in my Kapla projects. It is primarily intended for Knex builders who want to understand, copy, or draw inspiration from my machines.0:00 The Trebuchet0:18 The Carousel0:39 The Camera Holder0:46 The Rotating Camera ArmAdditional explanations:- The Carousel uses a rubber transmission to ensure a smooth radial acceleration and avoid breaking the kapla structure on top prematurely (in "The Crazy Carousel" and "Theme Parc") - Overdrive mode: (@0:31), a weight has to be suspended to the white reel for the overdrive mode to work. - The ratchet mechanism avoids an additional clutch/engage system, as the motor can drive the Carousel without unloading the overdrive weight. As I could not find a suitable low friction ratchet model on the internet I invented a new design.- The release angle mechanism on the Trebuchet is new, it was not present on the previous versionsSong track: Casi - Majestic http://soundcloud.com/casisnmzMusic provided by BreakingCopyright http://youtu.be/aQuTzlHtylk

Domino Kapla #16: Theme Park (destruction) Kaplos 2020-05-23 | Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.Construction video: youtube.com/watch?v=83_BopFisMwTeaser / presentation video: youtube.com/watch?v=qp0jH9BQhZ0A lot of things went wrong in this highly experimental video...The coaster camera stopped recording midway, probably because of the shock when it hit the jump hole. The monorail failed to trigger the domino to the drop tower, I had to do a manual emergency intervention. The main camera decided to keep the autofocus on the collapsed station, resulting in a blurry background. The crazy carousel was too heavy for the wall to collapse. But, amazingly, the untested drop and observation towers self-destructed flawlessly!This video is dedicated to the one that was sick of my previous carousel video to the point of unsubscribing!Music track: Children of the Regiment from Roller Coaster Tycoon (Merry Go Round Playlist)
