Believe it or not, this beautiful ball was made with nothing more than mud and a cloth, and it can be done by children.

Click the pic for a small gallery of other gorgeous mud balls. You can also read a bit about what William Gibson had to say about mud balls, or read how to make a mud ball yourself. (See the bottom of the article).

Make a 10,000 rpm motor in less than a minute using only one drywall screw, one 1.5 V alkaline cell, six inches of plain copper wire, and one small neodymium disk magnet. (Any metallic magnet which has a north pole on one flat face and the south on the other will do.)

Wow.

If your role playing isn’t addictive enough…

Or maybe it’s Hello Vader. Either way, very cool.

Unfortunately, it’s a photoshop job. Quick, somebody mass produce these – I wanna be one for Halloween this year!

Thanks, BoingBoing
