Gymkhana Ten
Ken Block loves to drive. Ken Block loves cars. Ken Block absolutely hates tires. Really, really hates tires. Ken Block hates tires so much that he does everything in his power to destroy them.

MetMo Eddy
In 1855, French physicist Léon Foucault discovered that moving a conductor through a magnetic field could generate circulating electrical currents within the metal, creating a force that resists its motion. Nearly two centuries later, MetMo harnesses that electromagnetic force into a palm sized gadget, the Eddy. Built around pure copper and a powerful magnet, the precision-engineered object turns electromagnetic induction into something you can see, feel, and repeat. Send the magnet into motion and invisible eddy currents fight back, slowing its movement in a strangely mesmerizing demonstration of physics at work. Equal parts scientific experiment, kinetic sculpture, and desktop distraction, the Eddy re-engineers a discovery from 1855 for anyone who finds magic in understanding how things work.

Glitter Bombing a Package Thief
When Mark Rober caught a couple stealing a package off his front porch, he had an idea — make their day a little brighter with a massive glitter bomb. Taking a little inspiration from Home Alone, Rober created a glitter bomb that not just spreads Christmas cheer, it also is equipped with four phones that track location and video of the suspects, and fart spray to ensure they throw it away, so it can be reused. The trick package works so well that a friend of his borrows it with great results. The moral of this Christmas story is: Don't be a thief!
