Automated Pendulum Control
In theory it's easy, but making this actually work is still VERY IMPRESSIVE:
Swinging up a pendulum. On a pendulum. On a pendulum. And holding it.

In Alasdair Reynold's Diamond Dogs
there's a lethal trap based on a triple pendulum, on the basis that its movement is almost impossible to predict in real-time even for an advanced AI with big computational resources

Never underestimate the difference an extra dimension makes.
I don't know if Reynolds was anywhere near right, but bear in mind that this one only moves in one plane.

That's just witchcraft
I've played with one of those control rails back in Uni. It was hard enough to get a single pendulum to stand upright. Doing so with three has to involve some form of sorcery.

Lovely, but bears no resemblance to the preview!
Worth it just for the perfect swarfage at 11:05, but I have no idea what's going on at 11:45 - is it a gauge?
What always gets me is the speed of material removal in production environments - I could never bring myself to do that kind of speed on a manual lathe.

day job
This sort of thing is my day job and I still find it interesting to watch. First thought on the tool at 11'45 was a gun drill for oil ways but on closer inspection I think its in cycle probing.
