Two handmade things that can be easily made at home from some widely used materials, such as matchsticks and plastic cups.
First one is plastic cup ball, you would just need one stapler and a bunch of cups, then in ten to thirty minutes you would have your own plastic cup ball.

Another one is some pendulum. One can ask his local physicist to ask more on the nature of the phenomena.

OMG Russians are so poor, that’s why they have to use stuff like this
As I said in the past, please ignore my idiocy-filled rants about Russia and it’s people. This is a great country with a lot of wonderful people and a great potential. I’m just bored and I constantly feel the need to agitate others who visit this site with my senseless comments. Have a good day
OMG poor russians have to make things i could go and buy at ikea.
Sigh… I have no life and need help
Can anybody say how much cups are needed for this sphere(ball)or some better instructions how to build it. The animation shows unfortunitly not the beginning of the build-up.
Depends on the angle of the sides of the cup I guess. Just get lots of cups and connect them in a triangle/hexagon pattern.
I needed about 200, but as Bloopy said, it depends on the angle etc.
For added decoration you can place a string of ‘christmas lights’ inside the ball. It provides a nice luminescent glow.
He needs a better hobby.
poor miss india lost her brain, well nice piece of work i must say…………….
feel really bad over miss.india comment may be she lost her brain……..
well…not everyone can repeat this. be sure he does that not because of lack of money, but for pleasure.and russians are not as poor as you think.
Now N. Valuev got a golf ball.
That would make an awesome lamp with lenses.
And that guy is most cerntainly not poor;
He has a Macbook, and a set of €500,- La Sportiva hiking boots. Also the shirt he is wearing is looking like some outdoor clothing as well, so it’s at least €100,-
Edit: Someone was ahead of me it seems.

you are designer junkie
Great site and thanks for the details. It appears to be pretty difficult to find the world cup shirts in the US. Most stores don’t have them. The web seem to be a great spot to be a aquire them.
BRILLIANT
