Build it, draw it, play it.
Vsauce, this is your home for some of the coolest creations
from everyday people. This is BIDIPI.
Build it—Justin Beckerman is a high school student
who built his own submarine that he actually uses.
He spent a month designing it and five months building it.
The body of the submarine is is a drain pipe,
it has a motor, regulators and valves from an old soda machine,
three battery systems, float sensors,
a horn, a CB radio to communicate with people on the surface,
lights, and a camera system that allows him to send a signal
to a TV for others to see what he does,
and all of this set him back around $950 dollars.
Rosanna Pansino creates pop culture and video game-inspired cakes and cookies
on her show, Nerdy Nummies.
Her custom baked good creations include Mario Piranha Cookie Pops,
Creeper Rice Krispie Treats, and even an Indian Jones Monkey Brain cake.
And for the last episode of BIDIPI,
she actually made some Vsauce cupcakes.
Caleb from Hackaday created an 80,000-volt homemade Thor hammer.
The head of the hammer is made from foam, and the handle is PVC
wrapped in leather, with the battery located in the bottom of the handle.
In the core of the hammer, there's a built-in Tesla coil
that's able to power lightbulbs and shock metal pieces.

Tom Eckert makes extremely lifelike sculptures out of wood.
Some of his most impressive work includes flowing forms,
like that of fabric, that look as though they're translucent.
He uses traditional woodworking techniques to create the pieces
and then paints them with a waterborne lacquer
that he applies with both an airbrush and brushes,
and he says that his preferred woods are basswood, linden,
and lime-wood, because they're stable and carve well.
Draw it—Kirsten of Chicago created this delightful series of illustrations
of what famous TV and movie characters do on their days off.
They include Alien takes Jonesy to the Vet,
Michael irons the Jumpsuit, and the Twin Peaks homage,
Bedtime for Log.
LA-based Dan Luvisi created these nightmare pop culture character illustrations,
including Donald Duck, Yoshi, and this one, called Nightmare Finn,
where he says, "The idea here is that Finn devoured Jake,
consuming his abilities, and thus turning into this huge creep."
And now for some retro video game-themed art
from the IAM8BIT entertainment system art show.
