There's nothing like a mechanical GIF to soothe the anxieties of the day. Machines (almost always) work smoothly, and if they break, they get fixed. Simple as that. If you need some more simplicity in your life, check out these ten mechanical GIFs and prepare for your life to feel a lot more manageable.
A group of international researchers and scientists have shed light on one of the central mysteries of solar physics: how energy and heat from the Sun is transferred to the Sun's upper atmosphere, heating it to more than 1 million degrees Farenheit - temperatures that are hotter than the Sun's surface.
With new images taken in granular detail by the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), the researchers discovered that jets of magnetized plasma (spicules) spurt like geysers from the sun's upper atmosphere into the corona (the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere). These spicules are between 125 and 310 miles wide and erupt continuously across the Sun's surface. Images of the jets also shows how they are made and the paths they travel (at 62 miles per second).
The corona is invisible to the human eye and the source of the mechanisms has been a confounding mystery for astrophysicists - until now. The GIFs below show granular details of the new images taken by the Big Bear Solar Observatory.
It's that time of the week: time for things to go right, to tick like clockwork. It's mechanical GIF time! Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than watching a few GIFs of machines doing things correctly and efficiently (especially when life doesn't go that way). Enjoy.
Do you ever see tiny things and wonder how on Earth they were made? What, did faries make them with tiny fairy hands? In the case of the Sigma fp, the world's smallest full frame camera, we have video evidence that it is not being made by fairies (although the video might just be a front... we will investigate more). The workers in these videos do have to seem nimble hands, though. If you're interested in seeing how a tiny camera is made, continue reading!
The Boeing Starliner capsule, which is planning to transport people to and from the International Space Station in the near future, successfully completed an abort mission - although one of it's three parachutes failed to deploy. At the time, few photos or videos were taken of the capsule's short flight. New video footage has just emerged, and we've made some sweet GIFs so you can view it's journey in GIF form. If you want to know more about the Boeing Starliner capsule, read our comprehensive article about it. Otherwise, enjoy the GIFs!
The word 'robot' generally has negative connotations attached to it, but MIT's mini cheetah robots are absolutely adorable. MITBiomimetic Robotics students recently took the dog-sized robots out for a play on the university lawn, and the result was way cuter than we expected. The robots aren't designed to just be cute and play soccer - they were built with the purpose to save lives with elderly care, deliveries and emergency response.
The mini cheetahs can run up to 5 miles per hour, flip themselves over if fallen, and they're relatively cheap to make and repair. Controlled with remotes, the agility of these robots has not been seen in robotics before. The next hurdle for the team is to build cameras onto the robots, enabling them to walk around without being remotely controlled by humans. But for now, they're delighful to watch.
Bored? Got nothing to do? Or perhaps you're procrastinating when you should be working or studying. Either way, we've got you covered with eleven great GIFs to distract you for a few minutes. If you need more funny GIFs to get you through, you could also check out these ones. You've come to the right place for you daily GIF fix.
Good GIFs come out every now and then, but the really priceless ones are more rare. And they're the best. We decided to collect the top thirty best GIFs of all time, as rated on Reddit's r/gifs page, which has 19.2 million members. I think that's enough people to rate something fairly, right? So without further ado, we present you with the top GIFs of all time. You are welcome.
Yep, it's that time again. Time for the week's best mechanical GIFs from Reddit's r/mechanical_gifs. This week we've got a sweet little collection of 100% mechanical, non-organic GIFs for those of you who love seeing machinery work like clockwork. Sit back and enjoy these mechanical wonders.
It's that time again...time for the best mechanical GIFs found on Reddit from the past week. If you love all things mechanical and satisfying, check out these babies below.
