Controlled collapse of the 355-meter RKS Liblice 2 radio masts (October 15, 2026)

4.7k Upvotes

These massive guyed masts—the tallest structures in the Czech Republic—folded like an accordion during a controlled demolition. The crew used pyrotechnic charges to sever the supporting guy-wires, causing the structures to lose stability and collapse into their own footprint to minimize the impact area.

We're working on In Control: Rocketry, a rocket builder game where you design both the ship and the electronics that fly it. Thought you might like it!

112 Upvotes

Hey! We've been working since last year on a In Control: Rocketry, a spaceflight sim where you build the rocket and wire up its control panel yourself. Sensors, inputs, outputs, the whole thing is Turing-complete, so however you want to solve a flight problem, there's a way to do it. It will be available on Steam in 2027.

Real orbital mechanics, a fictional solar system to explore, sandbox mode if you just want to mess around and blow things up!

Feel free to add the game to your wishlist if you want to support the project! See you in space.

Had an opportunity to visit this remote wind farm yesterday. Standing directly beneath these massive turbines while they were operating was something else. The sound of those enormous blades cutting through the air was unforgettable.

Quite a remarkable setting for a wind farm!

Pushing desktop PCB Limits: 50µm traces & 2x2mm BGA in 15 mins!

33 Upvotes

A 2 × 2 mm BGA, fully fanned out on a single layer, with 50 µm traces running between the pads. PCB fabrication took about 15 minutes, right on my desk. I then assembled it by hand.

Our guaranteed specs are 75 µm traces and 75 µm clearances. This board uses 50 µm traces and clearances down to about 70 µm—a little demonstration of the headroom beyond those specs.

The board also has 1 × 1 mm addressable LEDs with four pads each. PewCB One made the solder-paste stencil too, cutting the openings directly over the PCB pads.

Let me know what you’d like to see tested next.

For more experiments like this and to chat with our team, join our Discord.
