1
I'm about to spend $5,000 in the next 300 seconds buying the most satisfying tech on the entire internet.
2
And then we're gonna test it.
3
So this machine can hold your pen and write for you with perfect accuracy.
4
Yeah.
5
Five.
6
A paint sprayer, but one that apparently gives a perfect coat of paint every single time.
7
I'm getting tingles just thinking about using this.
8
What are you?
9
This is very elaborate.
10
The description says it flows upwards against gravity.
11
This I have to see.
12
I remember fidget spinners were a huge thing a few years ago.
13
I wonder what a 2022 fidget spinner looks like.
14
Wow.
15
Multi-dimensional?
16
Get one of those.
17
We have animated spinners now.
18
This one's got so many moving parts.
19
I just want it in my hands right now.
20
Why is this one like $50?
21
Okay, it's luminous.
22
It's got listed here as one of the perks.
23
Fidgeting can burn more calories throughout the day because you're moving more.
24
Bit of a stretch if you ask me.
25
But my curiosity has peaked.
26
Someone's made kind of like a fidget spinner within a fidget spinner.
27
That is a true 21st century product.
28
Um, who made this and why?
29
I've had an idea.
30
Satisfying magnetic gadgets.
31
It's always cool to see just how many products are out there.
32
A levitating plant.
33
Okay, I mean, the levitation is cool.
34
It's more the fact that of all things that you could be levitating, you picked a plant.
35
There's also just a levitating platform that we could put anything on.
36
Kidding me right now.
37
This company has built a clock that uses a levitating orb as its hand.
38
Oh, it's $800.
39
Mmm.
40
800 for a clock.
41
Okay, screw it.
42
Let's try some satisfying kitchen gadgets.
43
I mean, this will be fantastic for my health transformation.
44
Yes!
45
Yes!
46
That's what I need.
47
An apple corer that can get you perfect shaped slices every single time.
48
A corn scraper.
49
Okay, we need to get some more of these fruit peely thingies.
50
Banana slicer.
51
My body is ready.
52
Yeah, boy.
53
Okay, this isn't cheap, but I'm almost just visualizing this idea of spinning this wheel
54
and getting perfectly cut vegetable slices coming out the other side.
55
I think we have to get it.
56
Alright, I think we've got our kitchen gadgets covered.
57
Let's try...
58
Garden...
59
Bedroom...
60
Gadgets.
61
Ooh.
62
Hmm.
63
I did not think that one threw.
64
So, if you ever design a product of your own, then this machine, the Formbox, it has the capacity to be able to duplicate it.
65
I can literally remember featuring this product in a video
66
back when the only thing that existed was just a trailer of it.
67
But now it is real and we can buy it and test it.
68
Automatic Zen Garden Sandball.
69
Automatic's just how I like my Zen.
70
It kind of looks like one of those things you could literally watch for hours, waiting for it to finish the pattern it's on.
71
That's just giving me an idea.
72
I genuinely think the most satisfying thing I've ever experienced in my entire life
73
is the DVD logo hitting the corner of the screen. Can we buy that?
74
DVD logo hits corner.. shopping?
75
You can buy a t-shirt with it on.
76
It's quite the same.
77
Okay, I'll figure out how to recreate that satisfaction by the time we get to the unboxing section of this video.
78
Mark my words.
79
There's a 3D printer that can print chocolate in whatever shape you want.
80
Where has this been my whole life?
81
On a similar note, I've actually been drinking a lot more shakes recently with the whole trying to be healthy thing.
82
Well, instead of needing to shake your drink, this thing uses a vortex inside of it to mix it to mix it.
83
I think it'd be rude not to buy that.
84
Hand towels that are actually tiny little tablets until they make contact with water.
85
Yeah, I don't quite know how I got here.
86
Right, I've never been so excited for the products to just be here right now.
87
It's been two months and I am ready to be satisfied.
88
I think I bought a bit too much tech.
89
So let's go from the cheapest satisfying gadgets to the most
90
expensive to find out how much it actually costs to get that thrill.
91
Starting with our kitchen gadgets.
92
So this is our corn thresher, apple divider, and our banana slicer.
93
Okay, fruit me.
94
It's corn!
95
Beautiful little corn we've got here.
96
You know what would be quite funny as well is if you get like a cinematic shot of the corn, and I'm like, what a beautiful specimen.
97
Okay, let's do it.
98
Whew!
99
It's so perfectly formed. That was incredible.
100
That's a 7 out of 10.
101
This might be the corniest video we've ever made.
102
Let's get this banana sliced.
103
It's about the least satisfying way to open a banana.
104
Is fruit peeling in ASMR category?
105
Right.
106
Oh my god.
107
That's what it's gonna do to the banana.
108
Through the guillotine.
109
Are you ready?
110
Here we go.
111
Ooh.
112
These are perfect slices.
113
Wow.
114
Easy eight here.
115
I can't use that.
116
Right.
117
This might be the greatest apple product of all time.
118
I'd say that was probably more palpitation inducing than satisfying, but it did work.
119
To be fair, that is the quickest I've ever sliced an apple.
120
I'll give this one a six.
121
These are a highly cost-effective way to get your fix.
122
But I've heard that kinetic sand can do us one better.
123
So this is kind of like moist feeling sand that never dries out.
124
That was a great peel.
125
They really nailed the unboxing experience.
126
Okay, so I've just put together some almost perfect looking shapes made of kinetic sand.
127
Listen to the sound.
128
Okay, pizza cutter is- Do you see how the sand almost has like a fluffy texture to it?
129
Okay, let's do something very strange here That was not what I expected at all.
130
It's like a really nice cake Does anyone want a corn cookie?
131
Bit of a dilemma for this last pile.
132
Do we grate it?
133
Or do we put it through a garlic press?
134
All right screw it.
135
Let's do both.
136
Oh And it looks like some very gone-off mozzarella.
137
Let's just shove it in the garlic press see what happens This is what my training has leaded to.
138
Oh god, it just looks like droppings.
139
We've had our fun.
140
The hand towel tablets.
141
I really like this bag.
142
Kind of looks alarmingly like a bag of mints.
143
We've got some nice warm water.
144
Oh my god, it literally looks like a mint.
145
This is a high probability of being incredibly underwhelming.
146
Let's try it.
147
Three, two, one.
148
Oh wow!
149
That was so fast.
150
That did not disappoint.
151
I enjoyed that.
152
The fact that they've managed to get a towel that large into a tablet that size, that's actually a feat of engineering.
153
Whoops.
154
Oh! That is insane.
155
But let's ramp this up with the fidget toys.
156
I do really think we spent over $100 on these spinners.
157
Let's find out if it was worth it.
158
This thing is tiny.
159
I'm so excited about this one.
160
Okay, this one is heavy duty.
161
Very odd.
162
I've got no idea how this one works.
163
That is a cool design.
164
Alright, here's the pendulum.
165
The way that this thing moves and catches light is actually mesmerizing.
166
Okay, I think I got it.
167
Okay, so it's kind of just like a normal spinner, but a little bit more unpredictable.
168
Six out of ten.
169
Okay, Sonic time.
170
Wait, what?
171
He's too fast.
172
I'm starting to see Sonic, kind of.
173
He's still a blur.
174
I kind of thought this was going to be more like a flip book with the effect it creates.
175
Yeah, I'll give that a bite.
176
Okay, this one can't be bad.
177
Look how many mechanisms it's got.
178
Ah, that is amazing.
179
The pattern it creates continuously changes as the speed changes.
180
Look how it catches the light.
181
Easy eight.
182
Don't really know what to do with you.
183
Do you spin it?
184
Ah.
185
Oh, that is nice.
186
It feels like an object you shouldn't be able to hold in your hands.
187
And then when you start spinning it, it's a mess, but it always seems to find some sort of equilibrium.
188
Unexpectedly fun.
189
Seven out of...
190
Whoa.
191
Okay, so this is what we paid, I want to say, $50 for.
192
It is very weighty and balanced, I'll give it that.
193
Is something gonna happen when we spin it?
194
Okay, extremely smooth, but not $50, come on.
195
Okay, well at the very least, apparently if you spin this one the other way around, come closer, you'll actually hear some music.
196
Okay, moving on.
197
Tom actually bought you something.
198
He bought me something.
199
Oh no. Oh no. I hate it.
200
It's even worse in person.
201
I don't wanna touch it.
202
That's so weird!
203
Let's take it back.
204
Okay, special pen time.
205
Very shiny finish.
206
And the really interesting thing about this pen is that when we click the button...
207
Ah!
208
The entire structure of the pen changes.
209
I've got no idea how they've managed to make it fold up so uniformly.
210
But now it's stepping up, because at $40, this is the Vortex Shaker.
211
Water and protein powder.
212
This really doesn't look like it's gonna do much.
213
But the company says that apparently the combination of the power of the motor inside of this base...
214
With the shape of this blade, which actually looks shockingly like a stick man doing a deadlift, is enough to create a vortex on the inside.
215
Let's try it and find out.
216
Okay.
217
Wow!
218
That I did not expect.
219
You can see it's like a whirlpool.
220
This is so much more pleasant than using a shaker.
221
It's got like a gentle hum to it, and nothing spills anywhere.
222
It's so clean.
223
Let's try it.
224
One thing about that is that is incredibly smooth.
225
And that's apparently just the side effect of how this thing goes about mixing your drink.
226
Man, if that's a $40 satisfying gadget, what's a $400 one going to be like?
227
Well, we're going to find out soon enough.
228
Because we're already at $100 with this maglev platform.
229
So apparently this uses an electromagnet that's strong enough to not just levitate the platform, but also whatever I put on the platform.
230
I actually have a very strange idea.
231
What if we try and put a spinning fidget spinner on a spinning levitating platform?
232
Okay, so I'm going to spin the platform clockwise.
233
And I'm gonna spin the fidget spinner counterclockwise.
234
I think this will work.
235
Huh.
236
Oh my gosh.
237
That's crazy.
238
Did you see that?
239
It's a levitating piece of chicken.
240
Okay, no, don't eat from there.
241
I'll give it to you.
242
There you go.
243
Oh, and actually, on the topic of levitation, this machine can- This almost feels like science fiction.
244
Apparently, levitate water.
245
We all know how magnets work, but water?
246
This is probably the gadget I have the least confidence in.
247
Oh my god!
248
He actually looks like he's traveling upwards.
249
Had me for a second.
250
This might not be coming across perfectly on camera, but it's quite an impressive sight.
251
So obviously water can't actually be flowing upwards against gravity, but the way it looks like it works is individual drops
252
of water are falling at a constant rate from here down to here.
253
There's a really precise cone at the bottom that's stopping that water splashing.
254
And then at the same time, there is a strobing light that's basically flashing on and off really, really quickly.
255
And that makes it kind of like a really sneaky illusion where you're looking at one drop as it's falling, but then when the lights go off and then they come back on again,
256
you're actually looking at a different drop that's above that drop without realizing it.
257
So it looks like the drop has traveled upwards.
258
Genuinely hypnotic.
259
8.5 out of 10.
260
Okay, so you remember those fruit cutters from earlier, right?
261
Well, this is basically the baller version of them.
262
And now that we've put it all together, I can kind of see why.
263
So the way this works is you lift up the flap at the back, and then you pull open the spring-loaded mechanism.
264
And that's when you drop the poor vegetable in, such that when you let go of this spring-loaded mechanism, it will push the vegetable towards the blades at the end.
265
This is actually so heartbreaking.
266
There's like a little piece of pepper sticking its way through, knowing what's about to happen to it.
267
Don't want to be the one to do it.
268
Oh my gosh!
269
Each slice is so precise and thin!
270
I feel like I can see the cell walls in this.
271
It's also surprisingly smooth.
272
I just realized what we have to try.
273
Kinetic sand.
274
This could be a match made in heaven.
275
We need to listen out for the sound.
276
Oh my gosh!
277
It's cutting off like a single layer of sand at a time.
278
You're either going to love it or you're going to hate it.
279
Speaking of sand, this might just be the most elaborate sand toy that I've ever laid eyes on.
280
It's got a slightly cheap 3D printed in someone's garage kind of look to it.
281
Which for $200 is not the dream.
282
Anyways, sand in.
283
Turn the machine on.
284
And then the only thing left to do is to drop one of these ball bearings in there.
285
I'm assuming there's meant to be a magnet on the inside here.
286
Right, my bad.
287
There's another switch.
288
Drop this in.
289
See what happens.
290
Yes, look!
291
It's like a shark under the sand.
292
It's kind of like what I imagine a pet rock would be like.
293
Okay, we'll come back at the end and see what it's done.
294
Okay, we've tested a lot of bleeding-edge gadgets over the years.
295
We've seen shoes that allow you to physically feel music.
296
We've seen infinitely repeating dodecahedrons and working displays the thickness of a piece of paper.
297
But this airless paint sprayer right here is up there with one of the most exciting of all for me.
298
So let's just say you've moved into a new place a new place.
299
You left your garage door unlocked one night and you have some very friendly neighbors.
300
I realize how niche this scenario is.
301
Oh Jesus.
302
What am I doing?
303
I can basically fill this tank with clean white paint.
304
Oh even that's so satisfying.
305
And then this base compartment can effectively suck out all the air and create a vacuum with that paint.
306
Which means that when I spray from here it should come out as smooth and as quiet as can be.
307
This is a proper like industrial real bit of kit.
308
Oh! That works astonishingly well.
309
Like it's almost gone back to just how the paper used to be.
310
And it's so smooth coming out this hose.
311
It's a shame about that gargling box though.
312
It's such a smooth, even coat of paint.
313
7 out of 10.
314
I cannot believe that an item like this actually exists.
315
And it actually got delivered to us.
316
This robot can write for you.
317
And I didn't realize I had to build it myself.
318
Okay, that only took us about five hours.
319
But it's fully assembled now, so I'm just gonna hand it our weird crushed looking pin.
320
And then we pull up something called the Inkscape software, which lets us design any image we want to, and then the robot can turn that image into a path that it needs to follow to make it.
321
I know the perfect test for this.
322
How perfect a circle can a robot draw go?
323
That was far better than I thought it was going to do.
324
There's something very surreal about seeing that happen.
325
It's the fact that, yes, you can just print things in perfect circles, but I have just seen this use a manual instrument and execute that in person.
326
I don't see how we can get more satisfying than that.
327
Give it a nine, just in case.
328
All right, this feels like a challenge.
329
I'm going to pull up the same photo of my cat for both the robot and me to see.
330
I'll see who can draw it better.
331
Man versus machine, let's do this.
332
Oh my god, this is so intimidating.
333
Not to worry, I did art at school and didn't fail.
334
Does not look like a cat.
335
Although I'm slightly concerned it's one of those drawings that's gonna come together at the last minute and look incredible.
336
Oh, I've just realized what it's doing.
337
The whole drawing is upside down and that that is actually incredible.
338
Maybe I can beat it on speed.
339
The worst part of this is it's not just better than me, it's also faster.
340
So that's what the AxiDraw robot did.
341
Here's my cat.
342
I only have one thing left to say here.
343
It's a good day for humanity.
344
That's you.
345
Yeah, right there.
346
He's more interested in the DVD screensaver.
347
$800.
348
$800 is the price of this clock.
349
It's not made of any spectacularly fancy materials.
350
It doesn't tell the time any more accurately than a normal clock.
351
But it does have one key differentiator.
352
It tells the time with a levitating hand.
353
This ball right here.
354
So we mount it on the wall.
355
I'm really enjoying this LED ring around it.
356
And we basically set it so that right now it's counting minutes.
357
So one whole round is 60 seconds.
358
There's an accessory for this.
359
So you line that up with that dot and apparently you just slide that in.
360
Oh my god, wait.
361
The magnet's moving.
362
Okay.
363
I was too ambitious.
364
We need to do it horizontally.
365
Oh my gosh, we got it.
366
Let me just mount it.
367
This is wild.
368
I feel like I'm inside of a Harry Potter movie.
369
It's even like rotating on the spot.
370
Okay, so check this out.
371
We can set the timer to one minute.
372
Each second it moves along, you can even see the LED follow it around.
373
And the cool thing about this is
374
that you can set one round of this clock to mean anything you want it to mean.
375
So it could count a week, it could count a month, it could count just towards a specific point in time in the future that you're looking forward to, which is a feature I love.
376
$800 though.
377
I know time is money, but this is something else.
378
Getting to the very highest end gadgets now, this is the Meikoo Formbox.
379
And it's been talked about on the internet as the pinnacle, the literal climax for satisfaction seekers.
380
The idea being that, let's say you just designed a product of your own, then you can place that product inside of here
381
and use this to create a mold of it to efficiently recreate it as many times as you want.
382
I mean, the outcome is cool and all, but it's more the way that it goes about it that's the fun bit.
383
So our mouse right here is effectively sitting on a vacuum that's going to suck out all the air.
384
It's actually just a Henry the Hoover, but make do.
385
And then on top of that is a plastic sheet that is now being heated from a filament above.
386
And as soon as that gets to the right temperature, we're gonna bring that plastic down.
387
Wow!
388
Oh my God.
389
It's created a complete seal around that product.
390
Imagine the day when we get to actually print the mice as well.
391
How do we get the mouse out?
392
I do actually need my mouse pack.
393
Is this how I'm gonna use it from now on?
394
Well, the good news is that I can still move my mouse.
395
The slightly less good news is that I can no longer press buttons or scroll wheels.
396
But this is a video that just keeps giving.
397
If you asked a random person on the street to design their ideal piece of technology,
398
I imagine that a printer that can 3D print chocolate would be pretty high on the list.
399
So it comes with these really strange chocolate cigar looking things in the box, which you basically shove up the nozzle at the bottom.
400
And then we just browse the various different folders of things we could potentially print.
401
And you can do chess pieces.
402
I love chess.
403
Let's print a rook.
404
So it's moving both the nozzle and the tray underneath it to create the shade.
405
Look how precise the square is.
406
This is my kind of machine.
407
And it's almost completely silent.
408
And here is our rook.
409
Wow.
410
So it looks like it's had some trouble with the base of it, but the rest of it is spot on.
411
It's so precisely crafted.
412
But this actually goes further because you can also add in your own SD card, loaded with any 3D model you can find on the internet.
413
And apparently it can print that too.
414
So of course we're going to try a Pokemon.
415
Hey, see if we can make a Bulbasaur.
416
Ah, that's the inside of Bulbasaur.
417
I don't think I'd ever see that.
418
And you can tell this time right, the machine's even got the base right.
419
I can't wait to see this.
420
One eternity later.
421
Yeah, so basically we ran out of chocolate part way through printing that.
422
So we have a headless Bulbasaur over here.
423
Albeit a very, very nice headless Bulbasaur.
424
But then the cool part of this is that we've managed to print one Bulbasaur in many, many different sizes.
425
It's like a very weird semi-headless family.
426
I'll eat the biggest one.
427
Mmm.
428

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
