I call it the Bead Breaker 5000
Welded with flux core using minimal prep and even less skill. The pivots are threaded rod or bolts. The large pivot is in single shear and cantilevered. It's all so wrong it's right. Lever ratio is 12.77:1, breaks beads like butter.

Better Keurig coffee. Just a few easy steps.
half fill your coffee cup with hot water from the Keurig (no kcup) - lifting the handle will stop the flow, then close the handle
fill reusable kcup with quality fresh ground coffee (14-15 grams) & place in Keurig
pour out the hot water in your cup, place previously filled kcup in the machine and brew until 1 tablespoon of coffee comes out (lift handle to stop brewing and then close the handle)
wait 30 seconds (the grounds will be saturated and ready to release all the flavor they posses)
begin brewing again
RESULT: Hotter, Richer, Better coffee!

"Jugaad" made by my society members...
We all could not afford a cover for our biometric machine in the society. So this is the solution we found out. This is an airtight plastic box (tupperware) with the lid. When it rains we put the lid on. How did you like the idea?? Have you made any "jugaad" like that...

Weighing Down the Thumb Drive so it Makes Contact
The thumb drive's contacts are broken somewhere internally. Weighing it down makes it work long enough so that I can recover the data.

I built a turbine motorcycle using hydrogen peroxide
This is not a rocket bike.
The engine uses concentrated hydrogen peroxide decomposed in a chemical reactor to generate high-pressure steam and oxygen, which drive a homemade turbine connected to the wheel.
What started as homemade Unimoto ice racing eventually evolved into one of the strangest machines I have ever built.
This video tells the complete story:
garage experiments, steam engines, failed steering systems, frozen catalysts, turbine testing, Soviet motorcycles, and the engineering madness of the Snowdogs winter motorcycle festival.
The video is in Russian with full English subtitles.
Do NOT repeat anything shown in this video.

Knob broke off of fan, fixed by drilling a screw into the stump and using a screw driver to turn it on/off.
Buddy has a 3D printer, might figure out a way to print some kind of knob that snaps over the screw head so I can turn it by hand without having to use a screw driver, not sure what would be the best design though.
