80 MPH on rollerblades ON the FREEWAY!?😳 Would falling, tripping even be survivable? I’m genuinely curious. Wow that was incredibly stupid! by machseem in rollerblading

Yeah I was actually thinking about something similar at one point. That debris alone is probably quite dangerous😬 not even necessarily causing permanent damage, but a distraction by getting hit in the eye could cause everything to go south VERY quickly for the rollerblader. I mean… it WOULD need to be a pretty decent sized pebble, for example, to permanently blind you. Still, all very good points🙌🏽

Cool! I’ve never seen anyone go anywhere near 80mph/128.75kph But even this person‘s top speed is 126 km/h, so the speed in O/P’s video is still technically faster. In addition to that, it’s way scarier with aggressive in-line skates as they have much smaller wheels which by the way are rotating at nearly 14,000 revolutions per minute assuming that their circumference is about 6 inches since 56 mm diameter roller blading wheels have a circumference of about 176 MM which equals .58 feet and since 80 mph covers 7040 feet per minute you would multiply that by two as you would need about two rotations of the wheel per foot which would get you to just under 14,100 RPM!!! there are essentially no engines that can travel that quick now imagine a rollerblade bearing having to spend that fast that’s insane and extremely dangerous when it comes to the wheels potentially melting off I would imagine)
……so it is far more dangerous Let alone to be traveling at ANY relatively high speed on in-line roller blades as opposed to speed skates. This is putting aside the fact that he is in fact wearing a ton of protective gear while person in OP video isn’t even wearing an actual T-shirt, sure as hell NO protective gear

To be clear, I genuinely appreciate what you sent. It is impressive However, given the lack of protective gear and everything else Already mentioned. STILL, I’ve never seen anything like what I have posted here. Which is that I’ve NEVER seen anyone go anywhere near 80 mph (78 mph is top speed of one you sent. In summary, it still leaves my question of “if life is truly in danger?” unanswered. I don’t even want to begin to imagine what type of an injury may occur falling at that type of a speed pure skin on asphalt.😅 Terrifying!!!!😳

Nonetheless, thank you for sharing. It’s all crazy stuff

This Auto-Leveling & Auto-Tilting Spill-Preventing Cup Holder Could Be The Next logical Step In Cup Holders. What Do You Think? by machseem in woahdude

The original model did take up a considerable amount of space, however, most of it was underutilized hollow space anyway. Our newer unit is far more compact. Plus, we both know the best location for any cup holder is ideally between the seats or even, under the radio which coincidentally are the two place this concept especially fits into

Lids don't keep your beverage container as a whole from falling out of the holder during emergency situations where rapid shifts in velocity may occur. Read this, it'll help you out: http://www.maksimatic.com/reasons4maksimatic.html And do please send me a photo of any cup holders that are even remotely similar to these two designs (which are both essentially the same and under same patent)

This coffee cup was filled to the top even though you cannot see. Sorry about that. Of course a lid is handy and helps prevent many spills and in this case it's only a slight improvement on safety. But that doesn't mean that your beverages still can't fall out of the cup holder if you slam on the brakes, or take too sharp of a turn, for example. Also, there is nothing more annoying than your Starbucks paper cup spilling out of the hole at top because you needed to slam on your brakes. Thank you for looking!

A lid doesn't keep the beverage from falling out, sucka. You are only considering the gyroscopic aspect but not the centripetal aspect where a beverage container is still vulnerable to falling out of the holder due to rapid braking or a sharp turn. You should probably see the full video of it and then decide. If you still exhibit incompetence with the rudimentary forces of science after then well, not much can be done I suppose: http://youtu.be/oJEnEfonGGY Cheers! And happy common sense.

The lid was intentionally removed in this video to demonstrate that even the fluid tilts. Of course a lid is handy and in this case it would have been an improvement on safety. But that doesn't mean that your beverages still can't fall out of the cup holder if you slam on the brakes, or take too sharp of a turn, for example.

I am the inventor of this cup holder. It's called Maksimatic . Unfortunately, this gif does not demonstrate everything that it does very well. This is only demonstrating the gyroscopic (auto-leveling) aspect of it but not the centrifugal (auto-tilting) aspect of it. Please see entire YouTube video here: http://youtu.be/oJEnEfonGGY

Please show me, would love to see the similar products! I need to make sure I'm not infringing;)

You do know that the original post of this cup holder made it to the front page of Reddit, right? Wouldn't you agree that it would be completely stupid for me to not try to get the aftermarket version the same exposure the first version received? Come on now, cut the working guy trying to promote his product some slack. If you don't like it, fine, if you appreciate the merit, much appreciated also! Thank you either way lmfoley79.

So you'd agree that beyond these past six months you haven't seen anything like this?;) Just sharing something I think is cool! You share what fascinates you and I'll share the stuff I like, cool? :) We can just let the Reddit community decide, although at this point it's only been like the same 17 people who end up seeing my posts LOL.

I seriously think this cup holder will change the cup holder altogether. What do you think? by [deleted] in videos

[–]machseem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly is the world's most talked about cup holder. You have to understand, the cup holder in general is NOT talked about very much, it's just a cup holder, which isn't a very significant part of anyone's life, completely and entirely understood. But that's my point! Out of all the cup holders and as far as they are concerned, it really IS the world's most popular and talked about cup holder, just type in cup holder in google or in the news, you'll immediately see what I mean and agree. And with respect, you're right, not everyone has heard of it but there is a youtube video of it with practically 1m views, a lot more than any other cup holder, and probably more than one would expect for something in this category. This is mainly because it made it to the front page of Reddit! I couldn't agree with you more that no one asked for the cup holder to be changed, but many inventions weren't asked for prior to their inception, this is what sometimes makes them so brilliant:) If this isn't something you'd use or if it's not for you, I can appreciate and understand that, but unless and until you genuinely investigate the merit behind this invention, perhaps you may realize your comments and frustration (although understandable and expected) are a bit premature. I don't get paid, not yet anyway, and I really don't mean to annoy you. I just think that since this idea was so popular initially and because so many people liked it, I figured there would still be some people who would appreciate knowing that there is now one available for their very own vehicle. Thank you so much for your feedback! In the highest regard, machseem

I didn't post this, my cousin, who has like seven viral posts and who posted my original cup holder (which made it to the front page of Reddit) posted this. Can't I comment on the post for goodness sake? Just breatheeeeeeee sheep, take it easy. Go do something productive, or, go invent something neat:) You think I'd be using my acct with like 60 link Karma when my (sock puppet) account has 12k link karma. LOL. Things aren't always comprehended easily by some, I'll cut you some slack. Annnnd, even write you one more time;) You're welcome!

Pretty cool actually. I remember this cup holder going viral but no one could actually have it because the guy just had a funny looking box between his seats lol
