I like the one about the teen who built a wind turbine for generating electricity for his family and then built more wind turbines to generate electricity for others in his village. The ability to pump water would have been a life altering event for many in his village. That's a truly exceptional young man.

[@spikenlucy1]

There is a book you can read that gives more details about him and how he mad wind power.

You missed a few points about David Hahn “The Radioactive Boy Scout”. Initially he’d been doing his experiments at his father’s house. After spilling some chemicals he was relegated to the basement, but after a small explosion he was then relegated to his mother’s house. Also, he was well aware of how dangerous the experimental breeder reactor could be (it wasn’t a breeder reactor, more like a pile of radioactive material emitting quite a bit of radiation. He just thought he could control it. Had he built an appropriate concrete shield and attached it all to a steam engine he definitely could have produced electricity safely. But the way, while his homemade neutron gun DID produce neutrons, the rest of the apparatus was emitting a variety of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Much more dangerous stuff. Frankly, him doing all of this was ingenious. A terrible idea, but ingenious. I want to know what idiot didn’t make sure he took physics with a chemistry minor. David could have been a great physicist or nuclear technician. He also joined the US Navy later in life. Kyle Hill and Plainly Difficult both have great videos about the story if anyone wants to learn more.

[@IronKews]

He clearly kept up with the chemistry. With a type of ice you smoke instead of cool drinks with

[@myredpencil]

As a builder of wacky independent structures my entire life and a student of child development as well as raised 3 creative kids, the urge to "get away" and "live somewhere else" is a natural developmental stage. Some adolescents are more creative at expressing this strong drive to be independent than others. It's a great thing to have space and support to do this exploration and learning that we all desire. Even a huge cardboard box or a blanket over a table can keep your kids quiet and absorbed in creativity for hours! Start doing that when they're small, before electronics. You'll be building them up for free. (yes, go under the table too sometimes :) and give 'em a sleeping bag

[@thepro3k_watches656]

Good job Luke you made your area basically your own room to live in

Kid not only earned the money to make it, but gathered the materials, and knew to ask about how to build it properly. Kid is could become an architect with that level of skill.

[@retiredtom1654]

It's great to know that many young people are so creative. I hope they inspire more great kids.

I think Luke has a bright future ahead of himself! He has more room than I did in the bedsit I rented when I was 20! All the best to everyone who has such a positive attitude and outlook on life!

[@SunRabbit]

When I was a kid, I made my own flying machines. My father worked in a materials factory and would bring home rolls of this tarp material. Made everything from parachutes to paragliders to hang gliders. When I look back I'm just grateful to have all my limbs intact.

[@angelakaleen666]

you are funny but thats true you could've gotten hurt harharharhr

[@Sad_cat_studio]

did they work, and if yes, would u send me some blueprints?

[@SunRabbit]

@@Sad_cat_studio No blueprints but I went through the whole process of engineering development in chronological sequence. First I discovered why you need grommets (lol) because otherwise the string holding the tarp cloth to the frame just rips right through. 1st model consisted of a kite made of 1x2 lumber pieces but that was too heavy so I cut each of the pieces lengthwise the entire length. With a hand saw. When even that proved too heavy, I did it AGAIN. Then needed reinforcements, and so on. We had a big yard because although suburban, it was a property 6x what everyone else had. I would launch from the roof of the garage and end up in the tall grass about 30 feet (?) away. They worked more like a parachute than anything else because I'm pretty sure none of these gliders were big enough.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Wonderful to see positive creations by such wee youngsters. I Love Tiny Homes, so find it fantastic that he built his own there and learnt even more lifetime skills. Very sad about the lad who was building the radioactive reactor, he had such talent and tremendous capabilities but neither the parents nor his teachers recognised it to nurture it in the right direction. Incredibly sad that such a marvellous mind was lost at 39 when he could have been so fantastic. Love the young lad who created electricity for his family then others. It's such a vital resource that so many people take for granted. Fascinating and uplifting video, cheers Be Amazed 😊

[@SAMarcus]

David's case of nuclear fun makes me more concerned that he was able to just call the regulatory commission and they told him exactly what he needed. I kinda wish someone had noticed the kid and helped him with better, safer supplies. Who knows what kind of genius would have spawned from that obviously very bright kid.

[@Hulk-Stomper]

This backs up what we all should remember! What we want in life, we can do and get if we put some effort and will into the dream!

[@UncleThor]

I once built an igloo and a snow tunnel. All in a day's work, we got that very rare snow that was like styrofoam. So I took a bread knife from the kitchen, and used a snow drift to cut out cubes of snow, hauled each and every one of them to the front yard, and built an igloo. Then after that was done, I recycled the drift, and dug a long tunnel that nearly spanned a quarter mile. I was in my early teens. Sadly, where I live, snow in that consistency and quantity is extremely rare, so I never had the opportunity to build another igloo and tunnel system. That was the day I learned that igloos are actually quite warm and comfortable. And snow is heavier than you think.

[@mrbig4532]

Is it still there ? I mean I know you said you don’t get that special snow but you did get it that one time and since you already told us you built the igloo and the 1/4 mile tunnel. I hope those neighborhood bullies didn’t destroy it , or the local homeless population took it over and destroyed it with their drug use and lack of resources to maintain it. The only thing I don’t understand is how you prevented it from melting when the winter ended . Either way if you figured a way to prevent the temperature from getting over. 32 degrees and the homeless population isn’t squatting inside the tunnel than it still might be there.

[@UncleThor]

@@mrbig4532 I grew up in the middle of nowhere. And I never said anything about how long it lasted, so I don't know where you got that bit from. The tunnel was easy, since the property line had a fence that spanned it, the perfect place for snow to drift and collect. All I had to do was dig along the drift. It was only a little project I did because I was bored.

[@mrbig4532]

@@UncleThor I was just asking if it could still be there, you know I don’t what part of the world you are from , you could be from somewhere where it’s cold all year round like Antarctica . I mean 1/4 mile tunnel is a lot of work it took like 6 years to build the channel tunnel which is a little longer that your 1/4 mile ice tunnel but they used machines and thousands of labors you did it by yourself with a bread knife!

[@marigeobrien]

Luke is an inspiration. David, however, is a object lesson in, "just because you can does not mean you should." Now, Andreas is another inspiration. Boys. They always seem to want to do the maddest things. It beats fighting, though. I'm glad Andreas was sensible about his cave.

[@myredpencil]

The zombie apocalypse hole was a great project for those kids! It was a tough call to have to fill it in, but as a homeowner and mother, there's a lot of liability having something like that on your property. It is as tempting and potentially dangerous as a small swimming pool, but IMHO the hole is more fun and easier to have!

[@crazyjplays3392]

There's a similar story to William's that actually got a movie adaptation "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind", the main difference involved poachers wanting to destroy a tree line near a river, the trees formed a protective bank that prevented dangerous flooding, but the river even though it was few miles from the village was the only dependable water source despite there being a well, the problem was the well was too deep and a pump was required to get the water. It's a really good movie and was on Netflix until a few years ago.

[@angelakaleen666]

that realy sucks that it's on netflix anymore ):

[@derstef8032]

Very nice done. It is a good example what kids can do with the support from the parents to belief in him and give him the freedom to realize his project.

I come from a very large family of 8 children. As a result of the size of our family we did not get the same sort of treats as other children. In no way was my.mother lax and inattentive though. We were brought up in a strict and disciplined environment. Due to the lack of toys and things other children take for granted we chose to make our own toys. This adventure and pastime my mother heartedly approved of but because she was so busy with household chores she could not always check up to see what we were doing. We made our own tree houses, dug tunnels built forts out of scrap and all sorts of things including making our own kites. In our country Zimbabwe we would never have been able to source the material for a nuclear reactor but when we complained to my mother that we were bored she told us to read. The only reading material in the house was a set of encyclopedia Britannica. So yes we did read up about nuclear bombs and there was even diagrams of what they looked like. Knowing that for us at that time it was impossible to get the right materials for the project was hugely disappointing however we did choose another older weapon to make. With a little charcoal from our braai stand, some flours of sulphur and some salt peter we mixed a batch of gun powder. Outside not inside we tried to make our own rockets using cardboard tubes from the waste but once again we were very disappointed when they did not take off. Unfortunately in my father's garage the glass jar we had the gunpowder in slipped out of the hands of my brother and a spark from the shattered glass set it alight and the garage had oil spilled on the floor which started a fire. However being resourceful children we quickly threw sand on the flames and the fire stopped. We got bored with this project and were a little afraid of the consequences should a much worse accident with this volatile mixture occur. So we stuck with less dangerous games. But there was a very positive result from all our so called naughty poor mucking around. All five of my brothers took up apprenticeships after school and after hours studied to become fully qualified engineers with high paying jobs. Although one of them tragically died young the rest have continued even into retirement to have productive hobbies where they still benefit from their engineering skills. My sisters and I have held jobs in nursing, computer graphic design and stock control. After retirement I am still doing a lot of research into history, archaeology and I often do a lot of home DIY using sound geometric patterns, techniques and principles. I am sorry that that.young man went astray but my family was blessed with a mother who kept us on a tight lead and her principles have enabled us to build a good character. I was brought up in a Christian family and only as a much older adult did I revert to Islam. But amazingly my mother also enrolled us in projects where we would learn teamwork with others and how to help others as a result we joined the Scouts and Girl Guides and we also attended classes at our local St John's Ambulance Brigade and every Sunday we went to Sunday school. My Mom was an incredible lady. Thanks Mom.

There's so much to be said about these kids , with only one concern.. But it's great to see young people doing things other than spending hours playing mind numbing video games.. Or doing dangerous Tic-toc challenges.. It's show's that just about anything is possible if you have a plan and the will to bring it to light.. So rather than spending so much time as adults telling kids what they can't do.. We should ask them what can they do ?? Give them a chance to be creative and inventive. But it's the responsibility of the parent's to make sure what ever they are doing , that it being done safely .. And allowing a young person to build something that could be deadly to themselves or the people around them , is probably asking for a lot of problems ..
