The video is about a person who is struggling to come up with new video ideas and decides to use a neural network to sort through childhood invention ideas submitted by viewers. They choose three ideas to build and test: ceiling shoes that use suction to walk on the ceiling, a lightsaber made from a laser and a mirror, and lawnmower boots. The ceiling shoes work surprisingly well, allowing the person to take a few steps on the ceiling. The lightsaber is less successful, as the laser is too powerful and ends up burning through the mirrors. The lawnmower boots are also successful, making it easy to mow the lawn without having to bend down. The video ends with a sponsorship message from Brilliant, a website that offers interactive courses on science, math, and computer science.
1. The person filming is out of video ideas and is using childhood invention ideas from viewers.
2. The first childhood invention idea comes from Inferno Monkey, who wants shoes that use suction to walk on the ceiling.
3. The person filming uses construction workers' suction devices and rollerblades to create the shoes.
4. The shoes are made by attaching the suction devices to the rollerblades and adding a valve and remote control to turn the suction on and off.
5. The person filming tests the shoes and is able to walk on the ceiling, but has difficulty taking steps and the ceiling eventually breaks.
6. The next childhood invention idea is a lightsaber made from a laser and a mirror.
7. The person filming uses a strong laser and a mirror to create the lightsaber, but it is not very effective and is deemed "cursed".
8. The person filming visits a friend, Backyard Scientist, to try making a stronger lightsaber using a 2000-watt welding laser.
9. The stronger lightsaber is able to shoot through plate steel, but the mirror is not effective in creating a blade-like effect.
10. The next childhood invention idea is a plunger grapple gun.
11. The person filming creates the plunger grapple gun using a plunger, CO2 cartridge, and ball valve.
12. The plunger grapple gun is tested and is able to launch the plunger, but it does not stick to the target.
13. The person filming tries again with a different setup, but the plunger still does not stick.
14. The next childhood invention idea is lawnmower boots.
15. The person filming creates the lawnmower boots by attaching lawnmowers to boots.
16. The lawnmower boots are surprisingly effective and easy to use.
17. The person filming gives the baby (which was being used as a prop) back to its owner.
18. The video is sponsored by Brilliant.org, which offers interactive courses in science, math, and computer science.
19. The person filming encourages viewers to try out Brilliant.org and offers a special discount for the first 200 viewers.
